Finally, Some Pics!

[240 Trainee]

Finally, My dad gets a digital camera. hahaha. Some people might remember my ECU troubles etc, etc... Finally got it running eight, except for a blown turbo. Gotta get that straightened out., Anyway, pics of the car right after I got home from work, and haven't cleaned it or anything. Gonna give it a good wash, and take it out for pics tommorrow.



My oh so Nice Shift knob hahahaha.



The result of theives - A Bumper held on almost entirely with Zip Ties



Also, this is how I have the wastegate plumbed. Anyone else do this? makes sense to me, but never heard of anyone else doign it.

Thats all for now, hopefully more in a couple days

hmm, I don't see any pics. I hate Imagetation. what do you guys use to host images?

[f s t caz]

i like the blue valve covers. whats the deal w/ the line running from the left valve cover to the manifold? pcv?

Muwhahahahaha, Victory!! I am such a dork, That line over the valve cover is to the BOV, I know it should be routed elsewhere, But I need to get more hose!! That, and it sill doesn't work right. Still set too tight, even though the adjuster spring is almost falling out. Doesn't open unless I was under full boost. any ideas anyone?

Ahh, valve cover to manifold. Thats the breather tubes that I made myself. That braided Plastic hose and a T fittign from home depot..

Mine is like that.. its not the right way ?!?

[240 Trainee]

Well, I have read things like having it plumbed the the plenum, thats why I am asking.

[F3600]

hoo okay... i think its because some turbo doesnt have this thing on the housing so the wastegate need another vacuum/boost source on the plenum..

[240 Trainee]

The thing that confused me, was that when i got the engine, there was a T in that vacuum line, like it was going to be connected to something else. I just took it out, and direct routed it .

[F3600]

Humm maybe some boost controller was pluggued in the T

[240 Trainee]

dunno, maybe.

[GoofyATX240]

The dildo shifter thing looks like a big blue vibrator.

[rico05]

Looks like your turbo has that nipple on the compressor housing. My SR T25G dosen't, so I routed from the plenum.

Nice lookin swap. Interesting to see an SR cold pipe on there as well...

[240 Trainee]

Doesn't fit well, mostly due to the wrong coupling from the Intake to the piping. Oh well, it works. Again, why i hate theives.

[NeedCAforS13]

everyone's stealing my blue valve covers! lol. your motor looks EXACTLY like my first one afew years ago SR intercooler piping and all... looks good bro:)

If you have the wastegate hooked up like that it will work fine. However, if you hook it up directly to the plenum you will probably see a few extra pounds of boost (1 of 2 maybe), due to the pressure drop across your IC and piping.

[240 Trainee]

Oops, Sean, I don't know if I had ever seen your valve covers!! Part of the reason for the color was to be unique. I have an extra set now, I want to get the powdercoated dark blue. If I keep the car... Looks like I am goign to be taking it off the road for a while, and gettign another car. I can't keep fixing the thing, with 2 jobs and School.
