Slideways^Jordan's SR Head Build / Turbo and Question thread.

[Slideways^Jordan]

Slideways, what brand topmount manifold is that and where did you get it?

Its a Peakboost Topmount manifold and i got it from http://hybridynamics.com/ somthing is wrong with their site.

[bgsr240]

$900!?!

Holy cow, I know that it is an awesome piece and will last forever, but I could by my Power FC for the cost of that manifold. I think that I am either going to buy the cheap $100 Ebay one and reinforce the heck out of it or I am going to give making my own a shot. Either a simple log style or the maybe a the longer equal length runner setup like the peakboost.

[GTR PrYdE]

The manifold is very sexy though... I don't think it'll every need ANY work done to it.

[bgsr240]

Indeed.

But I have yet to find a tree around where I live that has money growing on it.

If it does it has a lifetime warrenty. There working on a new design for srs thou, dont know how much better its gonna be. Mine took like 2 months to get though.

Nor have I. But it's bad4ss seeing those who can afford it though.

Especially considering Jordan is what, 19, and paid for all of this stuff?

[idahotuner]

jordan is only 19 wow.

lol i am 19. have you seen my build. its in my siggy.

i guess it is just a personal option of what to spend the money one. am fixing tons of stuff. so i got a bottem mount turbo set up.

props on going top mount.

LOL yep im 19..

and your right when it comes down to it, The person gets to choose how they want to spend their money. Peakboost was the way i wanted to go but it only took one weeks paycheck working construction in a plant to get that manifold and a few other things.

Thats how long mine took to get which is 2 months, Because they are made after you order it so the down time is usally around 2 months i think.

I also ordered their Peakboost downpipe which i think took about 1-1.5 months to get it

[idahotuner]

wow i could never wait that long for parts. why dont they stock the manifolds. instead of making them each time. but still that is pathetic. fora turn around time

i like my parts to be here 5-7 days after i order.

[Slideways^Jordan]

yeah i know what you mean that would be sweet if they could stock them, but i guess it really didnt mater for me at the time cause i was just working every single day of the week makeing money to buy parts for the build so i had time to wait.

Lucky. I'm in school right now and its costing me over $8500 a semester, but in two more years I'll have my mechanical engineering degree and start out with a base salary of something like $60K plus/ per year. I guess then I can move up to the "next level" in the 240 scene lol.

Slideways, I was wondering if you could do me favor and measure the diameter of the tubing of the Peakboost manifold somehow? This is going to sound dumb but I think that I am going to try to replicate it. I would like to know so that I can start gathering materials. I have a lot of experience with Autocad for making a sort of template to follow and my uncle has a tool and die place with a flowjet that can cut the turbo and wastegate flanges. There's a MIG in my shop that is just itching to be used. If it doesnt work out what am I out of lol? Time? At least it will give me something to do on these freezing @ss cold nights when everybody else just sits inside and watches the same old boring movies over and over lol. You never know, It could actually turn out pretty good.

Badass man looks like your heading in the right direction, lol thats funny im sitting right beside my peakboost Mani lol. but yea im pretty sure that its 1-3/4 inch pipeing they used on the runners all the way up to the turbo flange cuase thats what i measured just now.

[Slideways^Jordan]

Ok so i have been thinking latly about the "timeing chain guide plate".

Well i was wondering if i shouldent put the timeing chain guide back on when i put everything back together on the head.

if some people have left it off Why??

Refer to the noisy noise under the valvecover like a KA24DE. but probly dosent becuase their 2 diffent engines

IDK right i guess im just looseing my mind cuaes im still awake at 5:04AM in the morning lol.

Damn i was supposed to have this build completly finished and running 2 days ago ahhh will see how soon.

More than likely i am going to put it back on no matter what.

[idahotuner]

you will want to leave the guide on.

no reason to take it off.

[Slideways^Jordan]

I dropped my head off at the machine shop this morning the guy sad 80 bux to surface it and to clean it, not bad at all i think. I will post pics when i get it back, he said he might be done with it by this afternoon so i might get later on today.

[Slideways^Jordan]

im about to post some before and after pics of the block before i cleaned it.

[GTR PrYdE]

when's the completion date jordan?! I talked to jose, he said to call him if you need help with anything, he's got way more spare time than I do

[idahotuner]

im about to post some before and after pics of the block before i cleaned it.

post them man.

when ever i see your name i think it says GAY PRIDE lol

[GTR PrYdE]

when ever i see your name i think it says GAY PRIDE lol

You're not the only one I get that alot... I started making new names GTR4438 just for that reason lol

[Slideways^Jordan]

when's the completion date jordan?! I talked to jose, he said to call him if you need help with anything, he's got way more spare time than I do

ok Devin my new completion date is going to be Feb. 22nd so this gives three weeks which is plenty of time for me to finish it, if it goes well ill be done before the deadline. I have already taken the old diff off and now eady to put the KaaZ 2 way on with the new axles.

list of what i have left to do:

Put the SR head back on with Apexi 1.1mm metal head gaskit.Put my gas tank on with my walbro fuel pump.Put KaaZ 2 way and axles on.Get 4 valve stems put in my G35 wheels.Bolt intake and exhuast manifolds on with the T3/T4 Turbo.Mount my Precision Intercooler to car and fit intercooler pipeing.Generate electricty all the way from the trunko

Now for the pics of the block:

This was before...



This is after...

[GTR PrYdE]

Do you have tires for the g35 wheels? I can put you some valve stems for free, I have alot

[Slideways^Jordan]

Do you have tires for the g35 wheels? I can put you some valve stems for free, I have alot

yep im going to use the tires that are on the g35 wheels right now and then just get some new tires later. They just dont have the valve stems in the wheels which is retarded, i think the original owner took them out for the air sensor.

well the tires are going to have to be taken off so we can put the valve stems in.

[Slideways^Jordan]

I just picked my head up from the machine shop and im takeing pics right now. And then post them up.

[Slideways^Jordan]

Here they are:

[idahotuner]

dude. that is really clean. and nice. did they pressure tank it.

and you did take your shims out before you had it tanked right.

i almost lost all of mine because i forgot to take them outbut the guy found them and i reinstalled them.

[codyace]

Take that silly upper guide off and throw it in the weeds

[Slideways^Jordan]

Take that silly upper guide off and throw it in the weeds

you think i should i meen i want to but is it really neccerry?

[Slideways^Jordan]

Hey Idaho whenever im putting the head on with the metal head gaskit and my ARP head studs after i get the studs hand tight what do i need to tourqe the ARP nuts to in sequence after the head is on.

And do i need to spray the block side of the ARP studs with the copper spray a gaskit

[idahotuner]

Take that silly upper guide off and throw it in the weeds

Why. i would leave it on just as a safety precaution thing.

And do i need to spray the block side of the ARP studs with the copper spray a gaskit

Yes coat both sides evenly. us a piece of wire. to hold the gasket while you spray it. then try to not touch any where it should seal when you slid it into the block.

after i get the studs hand tight what do i need to tourqe the ARP nuts to in sequence after the head is on.

I tightened my Head studs 20-40-60-80 working my way out from the center. basically backwards of taking the head off

this page in my build thread has the details zer...age=3

[Slideways^Jordan]

ok sweet Thanks man ill see if i can put the head back on later today.
