Mine is Bigger Than Yours!

Some new pix.

Scott got more of the header welded together.

Enough to support the turbo.

We fabricated a brace to support the weight of the turbo. It is bolted to the rear AC bracket bosses. A nut welded to the brace with a bolt and lock nut allow for adjusting preload.

Thats good stuff Ivan, Can I ask what ID tube your header is?

[9sec240]

I am using 1.5" pipe weld elbows from McMaster Carr. Not sure what the ID is. What I do know is that the ID is just a tick larger than the width of the port on a Mr Gasket copper header gasket for a KA. Gently pressured in a vice in two directions makes it about perfect for the squarish port of the KA with very little porting.

Thanks homey...

[USsil80]

looks very good... didn't you say that you where going to run twin liquid to air intercoolers.. any idea how you are going to mount them.. and are you going to run an ice chest for them

[9sec240]

Air Water IC will be mounted inbetween the radiator and the motor. My IC pipes will total about 16". I have an ice box in the trunk and a Jabsco Centri Puppy pump. After water travels thru the IC it will go thru a B&M stacked plate cooler prior to dumping back into the ice tank.

Here is a pic of the my trunk.

Wow everything is looking really good Ivan! I hope you are having fun at AMS!!

[brad d]

That blue thing in your trunk should hep spool that GT42R

[USsil80]

are you still shooting for nopi t4 domination... couse it shore looks like you on a good pace to do it....

[WDRacing]

Ivan's first goal is coming out of the closet...then he can concentrate on the Turbo-4 class.

Love You Ivan

are you still shooting for nopi t4 domination... couse it shore looks like you on a good pace to do it....

That is the plan. We have some really quick cars at AMS all gunning for T4 NDRA next year. The plan is to take em all out Its time the 240sx is noticed at the drag strip.

We are working really hard to get the car ready for NOPI finals in Ohio mid Oct.

[ROB240]

more pics yay! engine is comming along, heres a pic.

11mm head studs thanks to Ivan

well, you can kind of see the crower rods in there lol.

crower springs/retainers

as you can see I "take pictures real good"... yea...

on a side note, Ivan, do I need these?I assume they are just for aligning the head to the block for the stock head bolts but just want to make sure.

stay tuned for more pics!

Those are for aligning the head to the block. If your running stock size studs, I would recomend you keep them.

[HolyShiznit]

Hey Ivan how much would it cost to fly your *** out here to tune our cars? Haha!

Looking good Rob, I will drop by the shop tomorrow, my phone is back on.

[klattr1]

Rob, i was able to use all of my dowel alignments even with my 11mm studs. Dowels go on #6 and #9. AND MAKE SURE TO USE TAPERED STUD on #3. and yes i know #4 piston is alot cleaner than rest haha. i cleaned it so i could inspect it (not due to coolant leaking or whatever)

[#1 Stunna]

CBR 600 F4i coil packs. Same as what AEM runs in the NSX powered Civic. Firing off of MSD DIS4 plus triggered by the AEM EMS. I had to mod the valve cover slightly to keep the coil packs from spinning and the packs down tight on the spark plugs.

Hey Ivan,

Just wondering if you know if the 600 F4i coil packs and the 954RR's are the same length or is there a significant difference in them? If not can you shoot me a email with the part#'s that you used on your setup? Thanks.

[9sec240]

Exact same coil.

[ROB240]

I bet all the other pistons are jealous. Thanks for the replies guys!

[Structure240sx]

wtf ryan has 11mm studs now too? im feeling left out

[HolyShiznit]

STFU, we both don't have studs and we keep it real! Right.........guys?

[Structure240sx]

i just have the ***** stock sized 10mm studs, stock head bolts and 27psi wouldnt quite work

[jollygreen]

is that going to be the new ka-t manifold that will be going into production?? if so will it keep a/c?

[9sec240]

There is probably next to nobody that would want this manifold. Its hard to tell from the pictures but the turbo is ENORMOUS. The inlet to the compressor is 5". The outlet is 3". The turbine discharge is 4". The size of the turbo dictates no AC and no PS and getting rid of the cap and rotor helps too.

Here is a GT32 versus my GT42

A $20 bill is exactly 6" wide.

*flashback* "holy **** dude 3rd gear was like BRAAHH!!"

i wonder what your doing to say this time....that car is looking bad ***....maybe something like "i think my neck broke"

[klattr1]

ahahha

[ROB240]

damn Ivan, only a 20, wheres the benjamins??? lol j/k

[9sec240]

damn Ivan, only a 20, wheres the benjamins??? lol j/k

There is about 20 benjamins invested in that turbo

I dont even want to think about how many are in the car..................

[ROB240]

Just wanted to say that Rob and Jon think this thread is great!

BWAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHA

I hate you

[Structure240sx]

klatt better not do anything he is thinking, we still have a pic of him

[HolyShiznit]

Ya... we got ammo against Ryan. I still have the pic on my computer.

And Rob don't hate me, I thought both of us looked real good in the picture.
