oh nice, i just started my build to, you have more parts though ahaha
what turbo is that? and what is the goal?

i dont know if you have deep pockets but if i were you i wouldnt mind about bov sounds, if it works its ok, and when its running like a champ then you can upgrade what you want just my opinion


and suscribed

 

Oh whoops, forgot to put what turbo. GT2871R. Pretty solid turbo. My goal is 350whp, but I don't think I'll run that much since it's a little dangerous. Maybe I'll buy 10 gal of race gas and run that every now and then.

As for "deep pockets"...not really but I'm not going on a budget. Buying everything new basically and trying to get all quality parts. The HKS bov is actually $200 so I don't need to upgrade. I ran it on a big turbo Talon I used to own and it worked great. It's just that some people think the HKS sounds ricey after a while.

 

oh cool, you know.. im selling some of my actual parts to get turbo stuff.. i will be rollin on 16" and using the cheapest headlights i find arghh anyways, .. im one of those who think the hks is a little bit rice now hhehe, but if i had it already, i wouldnt mind changing the insert.

 

I think I will run it without insert for a little bit and see peoples' reactions vs. when I have the insert in. The insert is only $10. There really aren't many parts I can sell to fuel my build. I can sell the header *afterwards*. I can sell my stock cat but...those things are kinda like gold...$2200 brand new or whatever? I guess if I don't have the header I don't need the cat. Aggh, can't decide!

I have a lump sum of money coming Nov 1 but until then I'm trying to install everything that can go on without being turbo'd. Thinkin about ordering some DEI heat wrap and getting all the stuff wrapped up nice and tight. Also gonna get a turbo blanket. Saw a vid of a guy who held his hand on one during a full dyno pull.

 

^^I'd run it with the purple insert if I were you--there are a few available but that is the most "classy" and most importantly not ricey.

 

I see it on eBay for $30. Sound good?

 

I miss the turbo Talon!

Keep us updated man!

 

lol when can a BOV sound ricy haahhaha

 

Well you know the sound the SSQV makes. That "ppssshhheeee" or "tttssskkkeeee" or however you think of it. It's the sound they use in all the movies and video games. I've heard people say they think that's a "ricey" sound even though I would have a sweet turbo setup under the hood which in no way can be ricey. Like I said, I won't buy the insert just yet.

 

I still prefer the nice quiet diverter valve. My friend's SRT-4 gets on my nerves whenever we take it to lunch, the constant farting is just awful. :lol: I dont know how I do it but whenever I drive it, I find some way to keep it in a constant blow off, like one big walking fart.

 

Hrrmmm....then learn how to drive! Sorry, I don't like to be too quiet. I like getting stares and have people wonder what's under the hood. I remember cruisin downtown in my friend's turbo S2000 with a full J's Racing bodykit....we had people asking us to floor it all the time and I think we turned about 100 heads in just one go around.

 

Got some DEI "titanium" heat wrap. Wrapped the manifold and mocked it up for length on the wg dumptube into the downpipe. The reason I didn't wrap the downpipe yet is I need to get it welded into the rest of my exhaust and didn't want to only wrap this portion.

 

^^That looks ****in great man! Im following ur build very carefully as to ur goal an mine are pretty much the same, an our parts choice is the same as well. Keep up the good work bro.. Lovin the WRAP'd look! mEAN!

May i ask.. The Wastegate Dumptube an (recirc) u have is the same thing correct? Serves the same purpose?

 

Yeah, by dumptube I meant the tube that comes off of the wastegate and it feeds into the downpipe.

 

lookin good, i expect tons more pics !

 

Still thinking air to water intercooled right?

 

Sure am! Gonna get the Frozen Boost 26x7x2 heat exchanger, Flojet pump, 12x12x4 or whatever I/C and a Focus coolant overflow tank as a reservoir.

 

I would get a bigger reservoir if I were you. At least 1 gallon, 2 would be better. That way if you want to put ice in it you can.

 

Where do I put it??? hah. Our engine bay is small man. I have a race battery that I can reposition to make room for the I/C, but it's gonna be hard finding space for a 1 gal reservoir.

 

^^Let me know how that heat exchanger works, I think a thicker one would benefit mine.

 

It could be put on the other side of the frame rail behind the bumper in front of the tire. There is lots of room for it believe me I have thought a lot about it. I would do a water to air if I already did not have a second very expensive a/a core sitting in my Pile-o-parts.

 

Very interested in ur route of Air/Water... More progress pics hahah

 

Don't have no money, sorry. AF owes me big bucks on the 30th. I will order a crap ton more parts after that. If I don't have enough money for the rest of the parts, I'll get J&S and KB BAP so I can install them right away. Toughest part will be positioning the WTA setup. Like I said, though, I should be able to order a ton of parts then I will take piczzz

 

Don't have no money, sorry. AF owes me big bucks on the 30th.

Abercrombie and fitch owes you money?


jk i guess af is airforce?, it feels good when you are expecting big money to be paid soon

 

I can show you some pics of what I built recently. It should help you figure some things out. I built a bracket for the intercooler that uses the front 2 trans mount bolts. It's kind of overkill but would be simple enough to make one for you.

I don't have pics right now but will have them soon.

I also am making brackets that put the battery behind the bumper in front of the drivers side wheel. Fit a full size battery no problem.

 

My Braille battery will easily fit next to the fuse box and make enough room for a fair amount of stuff.

Patrick, my trusty [fj] mechanic, says mounting the exchanger is no biggie. I'm most worried about mounting a large reservoir.

 

^ They make reservoirs for mustangs and such that are molded to fit in the spare tire well. Just a bit more pumping/hose routing and whatnot, but its doable. You could always convert the wiper tank to hold aswell.
