def keep up the good work..im thinking of doing the same thing...........

pajama sam

Thanks.


Put oil feed and return onto turbo.

Found out my 3" down pipe isnt going to work. the actual outlet of a mp t76 q trim is 3.25 so the v band i had isnt going to work. So im going to a 3.5" while i still have the chance.

working on all the intercooler plumbing got a little done on that.

got to still move battery to the back too

i was following this thread on the other website but this one keeps me updated with emails.
Whats the brand and specs of the pistons? if i may ask

pajama sam

iTrader: (5)

Well i got them with the motor(bought the block, pistons, and my old heads from a guy and had my machince shop guy clean everything up and machince all of it) but my machine shop guy said that they were trw forged pistons when he cleaned them all up for me. they are 2 valve relief pistons but im not exactally sure on full specs. but i should be between 9:1 to 9.5:1 compression

Looks good, going to be a nice setup! May make a suggestion on moving that MSD unit off the firewall when the downpipe is going right underneath it.... thats going to be a LOT of heat and may kill that unit

pajama sam

iTrader: (5)

Thanks!

Its actually got a lot of room between the two. ill show a pic once i get my new down pipe there and the down pipe will be wrapped so it should help a little. but yea ill be moving it if it gets too hot but we will see for now

Orr89RocZ

iTrader: (20)

Heat shield it well. My downpipes and manifolds radiate alot of heat and have started to melt wires up to about a foot away Definately wrap the pipes and shield off the unit.

Good luck with the project

OMG Orr is sooo right on this one. That is an incredibly hot area on a single turbo car... maybe if you have a cowl hood not so bad, but on a sealed stock hood that area is a definite hot spot.

pajama sam

iTrader: (5)

wow, yea ill def sheild everything good. didnt no they got that ****ing hot. My cowl hood should help a little too

noboostnogo

iTrader: (4)

Hey ur gonna wanna get at least a 4" hood specialy if you're using an ev hat and spacer. The ev hat might clear a 2" cowl but with the spacer it won't.

Orr89RocZ

iTrader: (20)

I thought the same thing until I got my setup running. it does get hot. Wrap really helps. Double layer if you can but that gets very thick and not sure if a 3.5" with alot of wrap will fit down that location.

pajama sam

iTrader: (5)

i test fit it, it should work. its a 3" cowl too. But yea i pla on wrapping it really well

Awesome-X

That's awesome man. I love the color of your car, could you post some bigger pics of it?

pajama sam

iTrader: (5)

You've done a good job so far. My TA is the same color and I love it. How much boost/hp are you planning for? With the cast crank/rods I might be a little worried. How are you controlling timing?

Good looking build.

pajama sam

iTrader: (5)

start with 5 psi to get used to tuning and ****, then 10 psi after. Ill be worried when they break lol. Im doing a msd BTM unit.

pajama sam

iTrader: (5)

OMG it runs! so far so good. going to start tuning tomorrow! so far my idle is at 13.0 which is rich i know. Sounds mean as hell! Also got to adjust my rocker arms a little more.

BANDITSBC

i just got my turbo on and runing tonight. same thing, got it running but need to tune tomorrow, i still have my regular o2 sensor on it, i'm going to put the wide band on tomorrow and see if i can get some boost out of it.. i'll post more in my old post,, 305 turbo gta.

good luck to you!

Badass355ciz28

iTrader: (17)

i would like to see some more clearer pics of this setup..im working on a t76 .96 a/r single turbo setup as we speak...it will take some time before its done..........i already removed the roots blower, installed a new intake manifold and picked up the turbo.waiting on the rest of my parts to get here.

pajama sam

iTrader: (5)

Umm i bought them off "turbo iroc" And i think he said that they were originally the ebay ones but he had to shorten them way down and modify a lot of stuff.



And yes ill be getting way more pics up and a video but tuning is very tough right now so im just working on that, soo they will be up soon

pajama sam

iTrader: (5)

tuning is coming along, fixing little problems here and there. Also locked timing at 32* pulling 2* per pound.

Here are some more pics
