My new project

[Sideways s12]

Anyone know where I can find a fpr gauge I just need the gauge I was looking on ebay but they come together fpr and gauge. looking for a 0-100 psi.

I bought Tomei one from FRsport.com think it was about $30 or $40.

[Sideways s12]

Awesome thank you sir!

[Sideways s12]

Nearing its completion. Woot!







Lennon trying to be funny because he's an sr fan boi lol

[Sideways s12]

Woot motor is finally done I just need to pay the last 250 and I'm good to take it home! I can't wait it's so close!

[Sideways s12]

Today is the day I pick up my motor. WOOT!!!!!

[Izento]

Congratulations!

[Sideways s12]

Thank you now i just need a turbo and to put the clutch and trans on and drop the motor in...

[float_6969]

Whatcha planning on for the turbo?

[Sideways s12]

t28 journal bearing for now I want that precision turbo we discussed earlier in the thread but I don't have the money for that right now.

[float_6969]

T28 makes for plenty of good fun!

[Sideways s12]

I hope so lol I can't wait until I get it running I just picked up a custom made logstyle topmount from a buddy so when I finally get that precision turbo I got a manifold that I can use and trust...

[Sideways s12]

Got my motor on the stand and mocked up my turbo and wastegate just to see how it looks.

[Sideways s12]

t3/t4 journal bearing 60 trim. 38mm wastegate

[boost_boy]

She looks promising, but do you have room to clear that wastegate in the S12 chasis? I know the Tial waste gates are pretty short in length, but I see a potential issue here.

[Sideways s12]

you know what I'll have to see when I get the motor in the bay is similiar to an s13 in size I may have to do some massaging of the strut tower but I don't think it will be too much if it is I'll reevaluate and go from there...

[float_6969]

looking good!

[Sideways s12]

thanks float!

[Sideways s12]

Just purchased another ecu and harness the harness is to fix my f*** wiring situation and the ecu is just a spare just in case. I am looking for exhaust manifold studs if anyone has any lying around that you dont need....

[Sideways s12]

Does anyone know if I can eliminate the pcv without any ill effects? was thinking of pluggin it off. what do you guys think?

[mdb4879]

Bad idea. Your motor probably won't even run. Too much pressure will build nad the motor will quite pretty much right after start up if you plug the PCV on the intake and seal the crankcase. unless you plan on evacuating your crankcase with a vacuum pump just set up your PCV system like stock or like it's shown in the FAQ.

[float_6969]

Yea, the PCV system is important. You need to eliminate the gasses that build up in there or the corrosive nature of the gasses will drastically shorten the life of the engine bearings and oil.

And if you're thinking about just venting them, I'd think twice about it. I had mine like that for a while and the smell while I was driving it was so nauseating, I couldn't stand it.

[Sideways s12]

Ok cool that's all i needed to know I will not by pass it. Glad I asked first. on single cam ca it's no big deal lol but then again it is a single cam...

[Sideways s12]

Thanks for the info btw!

[Sideways s12]

Just received my harness and spare ecu woot!

[Sideways s12]

the spare ecu is going to be used for nistune I'm going to nistune it while I'm running the stock ecu for break in of the motor...

[Sideways s12]

Welp project has been put on hold for a lil bit since the wife was in the hospital for the last week so I missed a few days of work. She is home now so when I catch up with the days I lost Ill be getting back on track just needs a few things before I drop it in anyway.

[float_6969]

I hope the wife is alright, family first man!

[Sideways s12]

Thanks! Yeah shes doing better it was a bit of a rough patch there for a few days...

[Sideways s12]

Bought a few items for the motor turbo flange gasket and a turbo coupler its slow going as of now. Just found out we may be moving to the UK so this project may never get finished if thats the case I'm bringing the motor with me I'm sure I can find an s12 over there....
