I finished most of my install!

[gaehrings13]

I've been buying parts little by little and started putting everything together. For christmas my girlfriend purchased a ebay turbo kit for me, and it was actually from a nico member. Well when I got most of the parts together I started working on the car. That damn XS power monster gigantic turbo didn't fit. So I tried changing the brake booster to a s13 one and that gave me a lot of space. But it still didn't fit!

I used everything else that I got from the ebay kit and It worked out pretty good.

So finally got some money together and bought a master power turbo and I asked the guy to find me an on center housing to fix the problem. He gave me the new turbo for a really good deal and swap the housings for free.

So I starting working on my setup, the only thing I didn't do was weld the downpipe. But all the welding of the piping was pretty done by me. I had some help but he would say he was coming and he would show up at night, he actually help me with the drain, but when I put the oil it starting leaking so I had to do that all over again myself.

Well here are some pics!!!!

and finally me working on a s13 for a friend of mine, I was installing the bodykit on that car and fixing the power steering lines, I actually made my own high pressure line, man that really sucked.



See what a lot of lurking can do, the only thing I really asked you guys was about making a adapter fit for that crazy t70 xs power turbo. But of course Nico is a great site and very informative and actually helped me a lot on my car. THANKS A LOT NICO!

Now i'm going to work on the fuel setup.

Thanks again nico and thanks for checking out my post.

car and turbo looks crazy. just beware about the xs power turbos. they're known to fail very very fast. but looks great though.

how in the world did you hide the SAFC harness up there like that? you may want to get rid of that Air guel gauge if its a narrowband cause those are basically useless. Other than that, things are looking great. smart choice with that on center turbine housing cause your clearence is great and your DP is smooooooth. good luck

Lol its not a XS power turbo it is a Master power. I was to scared to put that turbo. I know about that airfuel gauge, i put it for now to atleast have something, I will probably get the aem wideband one.

I still want to add oil and egt. I might make a plate for the gauges and put them closer.

What kind of fuel are you running S14tat?Thanks a lot for the great replies.

[tvmendoza]

it really looks nice, what manifold are you using?

[S14tat]

i'm running jwt ecu ( fine tuned with a wideband and safcII ) with Z32 maf, and 615cc injectors.

[gaehrings13]

That jwt ecu is like 500 dollars right?

[S14tat]

yes but i wouldn't use it again if i could do it all over again. i would go for a enthalpy tune. all of their tunes seems to have an idle issue when your running injectors larger then 370cc.

[gaehrings13]

A lot of people are talking about the enthalpy tune. I just want to run 10lbs.. What do you suggest I need for that I already have a safc2.

[S14tat]

i have no clue how much power 10 psi would be with a T70. but i would suggest getting injectors no smaller then 550cc's, and a tuned ecu.
