Whats wrong with my KA-T I used zip ties and everything.

[ADiamond75]

Wow .. and to think all I did to make my car go faster was weight reduction ....

[MarkEmark]

This thread makes me wanna **** my pants....zip ties to hold on a turbo and super glue to seal injectors....where the f--- do you people get these ideas??? You should sell your car right now to someone who knows wtf they are doing

Uhh...read more carefully....this is a conversation between a moderator and a regular contributor....it could possibly, maybe, be a joke....

SSHHHHHH...its a secret

I'll contribute some funny pics next week. Swapping my turbo Sunday, as well as pulling out 2 engines....

[WDRacing]

Stop the presses...I found the end all for turbo mounting...

Well it's quite OBVIOUS. He wants WD's extensive knowledge about hotwheels and adhesive molecular modatory expendages ( in pink form preferably).

No, but I have used an extension cord

I didn't have an extension cord, or any speaker wire handy when I needed a tow off of a curb I ran over with my 1k awhp while drifting. I just ran up to the closest house and stole their garden hose......just make sure you double knot it

So, I did some pulls and everything works perfectly I used the high temp zip ties and the turbo finally stays, the wastegate works perfectly on the intake manifold. I was thinking should I take out my stock injectors too or should I just leave all 8 of them in. I mean the Gorrila glue works great on the new injectors. I just combined the two together now too.

Dude no way is that injector setup of yours going to hold out. The gorrilla glue is good and all, but to be honest your weak point is really the injector itself. I really reccomend you get forged injectors unless you feel like rebuilding your motor soon.

Jeez, with 500+ posts on this board I hope you would have figured this out by now.

[darkforcejackal]

Forged injectors! Nice!

But really, that's way too overkill dude. He just needs the usual tune-up - muffler bearings and synthetic headlight fluid (to be safe).

One other thing to try is switching things up a little - use the zip ties to hold the injectors in place and glue the turbo to the manifold. Just think of the longevity then.

But don't worry, we've all made little mistakes, it's okay.

EDIT: If you're really worried about this, pick up some of the legendary "Turbo Tape" and use it over your glued manifold joint.

Turbo Tape + High Temp Zips + Forged Injectors = 2.5 gigawatts of AWD Power!!!

[Nick240sx]

ahh the answers!!! ive been tryin to go the next step, i just finished paper clipping my throttle linkages! now ill have such an awesome 60 time

....don't forget to switch out the air in your tires! Nothing worse than forgetting to de-winterize your tires.. man.. never forget that. Gotta switch out that winter air, for summer air in the spring time

[drftsilvia]

Glad to hear the wastegate on the intake manifold is working out!

but for that extra kick, better swap out your blinker fluid, get new system exhaust, and tune your nawz timer!

most likely the oil passages in ur motor need cleaning, drain the oil, and pour a 50/50 mix of bleach and water into the oil filler cap, drive it like that for 1k miles (which won't take long, with so much power your top speed is probably like damn!!! and if not get nawz, two of the big ones, it always raises your top speed)

after thats all said and done, take out that blade thingy in the middle of your turbo, and that big box thing with the red and black cables running to it near the front right of your car, weight reduction ftw!

BUT before you take out the box with the black and red cables, start the car, and pour oil into your alternator---the brushes need to be lubed up!

[Biggamehit]

the one thing that no one mentioned is the engine oil bypass

dude the engine oil bypass is an must for anyone seeking extream oil cooling

Thats one of the coolest sites ever....LOL.

I just ordered the chrome lowering kit. These spikes will piece my tires in order to tap into the front main strut assembly so I can program them.
