kuntzie Posted September 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 it ran, but with tonnes of issues that im working on fixing, 1st major problem was injectors were too small, intercooler piping had to be flared as the t-bolts wernet holding on the piping, my header had a small leak, my pmIII is acting up, and my clutch is one crazy sun of a bitch. oh ya and the car had a hard time idling, its sitting, aprat once again, maybe 40 miles on the motor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kuntzie Posted March 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 well guys, by the time most read this the car will be running 100%, the kit will only take about an hour to install. as you could imagine there is a tonne of money into this.... the intercooler piping is just 2 total pieces, no unnecessary couplers ect are needed. the headers, downpipe and wastegale use all v-band for ease of removal and installiation. everything is tig welded. the exhaust piping will all be going in for ceramic coating on monday aswell, i plan on driving the car tomorrow just be sure of no leaks ect before it is done... although im positive ther is no issues as the welds are amiizing. also please note the extremely loud 2.5" dumppipe + the turbosmart megasonic BOV that will make even the deaf here agian... try not to get to excited ...

kuntzie Posted March 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 where is the turbo flange and turbo back pipiing Looks great....but how can you get away w/ no flex pipe? won't the heads expand? the orig x-over pipes made by jeff M used no flex pipes, it will be fine... the turbo flange is a v band aswell, and its on the downpipe im assumming the back piping you speak of is the downpipe, its also picture, its in 2 piece in a couple of the pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garrett Powered Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 My car had one of those non flex bellowed pipes on it but it broke on the flange. Better than messing up the heads or block or manifolds, if thats even possible. Its not a Y-style one though. it probably has more chance of surviving. the turbo L67s use something very similar, why dont they use flex bellows on those? I was wondering that as well.

skalor Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 Looks good!!! Can't beat the simplicity and performance of log manifolds for a turbo setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
