wasnt gonna update but i washed it tonight for this weekend and realized i dont have any pics of it actually clean.

just for you ppl who said my wideband o2 was too close. it is now 15" or so away from turbo.

finally an update.

bought myself a:

Holset HY35 turbo
top mount mani
38mm wastegate with sceamer pipe
all 3" stainless for dp
aluminum intake pipe with new couplers
10 row oil cooler

also ordered:
660cc injectors
Q45 throttle body
Z32 maf
tomei fuel pressure regulator
k&n air filter


took off the stock crap. and as everyone does i broke one of the studs.

good ol easy out.


got the coolant return and oil feed done


had to get the manifold rewelded as the turbo didnt fit
then painted it with high heat flat black paint.


well lookey here the stock oil drain pipe works perfect


also heres where i mounted my commander


and best for last i got the manifold and turbo together for the final test fit.

was also trying to figure out some i/c piping

[cschepp]

-2 3" 90 degree bends
-1 3" 180 degree bend

Exhaust: (all stainless)
-1 3" 90 degree bend

Greddy type r bov
oil cooler
660cc injectors
Q45 throttle body

bunch of fittings for catch can and oil cooler







Ok so for the first step this weekend. catch can

catch can parts list:
-1 3/4"npt pipe tap
-1 1/2"npt pipe tap
-2 3/4"npt to -12an 90 degree fittings
-4 -12an straight fittings
-2 -12an 90 degree fittings
-1 -12an weld bung
-3 -12an to 1/2"npt straight fittings
-2 meters of -12 nylon braided line

ok started off taking off the valve covers and threaded the back with the 3/4"npt pipe tap i bought then installed and Teflon'd the 3/4"npt to -12an 90 degree fittings

the 1/2"npt is one the right and 3/4"npt is on the left. these were not cheap to buy.



then started working on the catch can

drilled 3 holes and threaded with the 1/2"npt tap


teflon teflon teflon


bolted into place


i didnt have any washers so i figured 50yen would do


and now for the lines. man they were a ******* curse. i had to tape them and hold on to the nylon braided so it didnt slide down the hose when putting on the fitting. and oh ya i had to hold the tape with my teeth and push on the red part with my hands (ill post pics of the next one if you want)

heres most of the fittings:



one end on


taped the line with packing tape and checked where to cut:


cut the hose with hose cutters i bought


does a sexellent job of doing so. shows buying the right tool is best


one complete hose done


boom an hour later and second hose done


-12an weld bung gets welded here


and eventually will be connected as so (after welding)





that sums up today much more to come

update.

exhaust and turbo weekend.

so i finally arranged a full day with my cousin (welder) and we got my exhaust built.

after roughly 8 hours of fabbing and welding this is what we got
turbo elbow downpipe and screamer pipe all stainless all tig welded


now that those were made it was time to finally bolt down everything related to turbo

no pictures of the manifold to head gaskets but they are all new and sprayed with copper gasket all bolted down safely

next was new studs for the turbo. using two nuts they tightened up nice.


picture of the copper gasket spray i used. also the high heat gasket maker for the oil drain.


all sprayed up and ready for the turbo. had to cut one of the studs to clear the turbo


gasket maker on


painted with high heat paint and bolted up


turbo bolted on. new nuts and lock washers too


first v band on


both v-bands on and o2 and wideband o2 in
