I may put a 45 degree barb fitting there just to make it easily bolt up.

Bryan@BNR

placing a zip tie on the 2 water lines where they come off the fittings did the trick..the coolant line no longer rest on the actuator and still no kinks in the line!

today finally had some free time to finish my car! took it for a short drive not going into boost, car drives very smooth, no idle issues and my greddy evo exhaust is soo quiet! night and day difference between my hks hi-power (ill post some videos hopefully next weekend of the nice exhaust tone)

Bryan@BNR 07-13-2009 12:29 PM

now get Kane or someone experienced to tune that puppy and make some power!

Lebren 07-13-2009 11:46 PM

Let me know when you get her tuned! As we talked about earlier, I am almost inspired to go FI. and....er....um.....just need some inspiration

gregs 07-13-2009 11:52 PM

^^im sure once you go for a ride you will be convinced my friend!...lol

aquadageo11 10-30-2009 06:58 PM

I was having the same problem with ideal. After boosting a few times won't stay running at the dam lights. What flash or ecu r u using. I'm running an anchent michrotec an a shitty esmirl turbo or should I say was.

rodjonathan 10-30-2009 07:03 PM

Jedi54 10-30-2009 07:26 PM

not yet, but i havent put much time into it, car is currently in the body shop getting a light makeover. i should have my car back hopefully at the end of next week..then im going to do some datalogs and find out what my afr's and g/sec im pushing with the boost controller turned off...then depending on what i see im going to start tinkering with the boost controller..also noticed my greddy profec b spec II boost controller reading is about 2 psi higher than my prosport boost gauge. im planning on entering high boost levels with caution this time..haha

sounds like a good plan :)

My profec was 1 psi higher than my boost guage as well - on the dyno the profec was the same as the dyno reading so thats what I go with now ....

glad to hear that from you..makes me feel better..ill keep you guys posted once i do some data logs as it sits, pretty curious to see what this car can do...:fingersx:

Lebren 10-31-2009 12:59 AM

happy troubleshooting, looking forward to a ride when she's ready:naughty:

legendkurado 10-31-2009 04:13 AM

gregs where did you ever find gaskets to rebolt your turbo kit on?

gregs 10-31-2009 10:11 AM

i did find a suitable gasket. the last gasket i had trouble finding was the turbo outlet pipe, the gasket that works perfectly without any triming is a tial 38mm gasket..the remaining gaskets for the manifold/turbo, downpipe, intake are all from a t25 turbo (nissan silvia sr20det turbo)

im glad theres other options for sourcing gaskets other than greddy mainly because it takes too darn long

RedRocket8 11-01-2009 02:00 AM

very nice!

legendkurado 11-01-2009 02:35 AM

thanks for the info greg and great pics and install btw

gregs 11-11-2009 11:36 PM

made a couple of "wot" runs tonight big thanks to ngo for plotting my runs! let me know what you guys think..btw: jeff (MM) & bryan (BNR) the turbo upgrade and tune kick ass... these runs are done without the boost controller turned on so it hits 5 psi and holds to redline
on my prosport electronic boost gauge

Running rich so no problems to raise the boost a bit at a time .

340g/s is optimistic for 5 psi ....

Nemesis8 11-12-2009 11:44 PM

I love how this is in the multimedia forum. :)

Nice install - can't wait for more multimedia!

Jedi54 11-12-2009 11:45 PM

Yes, I agree with you Brettus...My MAF is pretty much on point and I believe the highest I have been able to pull was around 369 g/s at around 10-11 psi during a 3rd gear pull.

ZumnRx8 01-21-2010 06:17 AM

just read the thread... interesting... :suspect: was this your first turbo install? (forgot to ask at the meet)

it started off with the first install which was the basic greddy turbo kit, then after
a few pages its the second time around with the BNR turbo upgrade

RX OCHO 01-25-2010 03:33 PM

How's the 8 running?

gregs 01-25-2010 03:48 PM

running nice and strong, tune is perfect and safe, hopefully in the next couple months ill finally be in "baller status" and finally break 300+ whp

05rex8 01-25-2010 07:55 PM

I shall hit baller status this spring

muhahaha.......

Bryan@BNR 01-26-2010 03:36 PM

Hey Greg.

Have you put the pill in the right line and turned up the boost yet? If so, how is it working for you?

Bryan@BNR

gregs 01-26-2010 04:47 PM

i did install the pill but still working on the boost controller settings for now, im hoping by the end of the week ill have some feedback on that..thanks for the help again Bryan!

ZumnRx8 01-31-2010 08:31 PM

i want install pics for my thread ;)

RX8YA 02-15-2010 09:47 AM

Gregs did you mount your meth injection yet? Im curious to see where you will put this...I have my ideas where I will mount mine.

gregs 02-15-2010 10:46 AM

I did mount mine already, i mounted it in the same location as Phils supercharged rx8. look in his profile or previous thread for more pictures, if you cant find pictures ill snap some of mine..mounted in the trunk

NgoRX8 02-15-2010 10:47 AM

I love where you mounted it. haha. easily accessible.
