wait, the caps that are on top of the stacks and do the little jingle when the engine is on?

 

Hell yeah!

 

im assuming you dont have a hardware store around you, thats where my friend got his. otherwise, i dunno.

 

I'll find them - I am resourceful when motivated. Good idea Chet.

 

thanks, i just want to help my borthers out overseas, one of my good friends is in korea, damn i miss him.

 

i just got back from a korea tour lol

 

Been there for 3 weeks back in 1998 - NO THANKS!!!!

 

yup, he says he is bored, but he is only a radio technician. my friend that i grew up with is going to be a ranger. i miss him too, good thing he is coming home for christmas, there are many cases o' beer that we need to drink!! btw, i was supposed to be a heavy machinery operator, but then one of the heavy machines ran over my foot, there goes my career!

 

Better than having it dropped on you. That happened here not too long ago - poor guy never had a chance.

 

very true. and i didnt even loose my foot, just had to go through 2 surgeries.

 

That does suck though man - nothing worse than getting hurt. Can't say your missing much.... it is kinda crappy over here

 

thats what i have heard from a lot of people.

 

I just read this entire thread & wow. That is some great work there Kane! haha. If I ever stop over in the right sand box, I'd love to see that thing.

 

The dream has died....

I had to pay $225 bucks for a 38mm Tial Wastegate and Flange....... so no longer free.

The part is on it's way. We also put a few miles on the LC yesterday - drive good; turbo makes some serious air - boosts up real nice - good thing we got a narrow RPM engine.

Our fixed oil leak became unfixed - so we will have to patch that up again... all in all a good build so far.

We did get some attention as we drove around base - "that is F*&king fantastic" was my favorite.

 

damn, oh well, its for a good cause

 

Nioce!

So how much boost are you planning on running?

Maybe I missed but where the hell is your downpipe going?

I love the turbo position- that's exactly where I would have put it. The cut out in the hood, priceless.

 

The log manifold runs from the left side of the block. Then we run it up in a "loop" over to the firewall and up between the block and the firewall - then over to the turbo... so THEN the downpipe will actually be an uppipe - up the side of the A-pillar to the roof and capped with a truck cap if I can find one.

 

sounds cool

Have you got it making any boost yet?

 

Nope - still waiting on wastegate.... Grrrrr

But the old put your hand on the outlet test shows that is is building pressure.

 

I know how you feel. I'm waiting on my EMU and my turbo is just sitting in the garage. My car is getting angry me because it thinks I'm taunting it

 

It will be worth it.... for both of us.

 

LMAO....Kane. This thread is FTMFW bro!!! Still would have loved to see the FI Ranger/Gator, though. Man, I almost want a buy a plane ticket to KIA, just to see this thing. Keep up the good work!!

 

dude just take one of those exhaust flaps (with the spring) that you see on the big trucks and weld one in...that or a turkey thermometer. Anything so we can see some boost now

 

OK OK OK - next week or this weekend I will try to get some pics / vids of the boost.

 

im wondering what kind of boost a turkey thermometer can hold in...then im reminded any boost is boost
