TIGHT YO.

 

Give it time... I give ya a month tops before you get bored and want moar powaaa.

 

CHRA has been purchased, it was 5% off so I just had to jump on it.

The CHRA I posted before was actually the wrong size even though the ad said t618z rebuild. The turbine was off by 5mm all around.

The correct turbine and assembly is actually from the typhoon it seems.

Also it may not fit at all, but the guy was cool and seems to have a good handle on the English language so if it doesn't workout I'll return it.

As a side note I know Bryan at BNR has a typhoon and experience with Mitsu turbos, so I kind of added it all together and it seemed to make sense in my head.

I should get it in about a week, then the housing is off to the machine shop and the water line kit will be ordered. 9k hooked me up with a spare pan to get a tap into. The samco hoses are 3 weeks out as well.

all I need now is...

a blow off valve

boost controller

wastegate

t-clamps

so if anyone has any of this stuff lying around and wants to work out a deal, trade for parts or service to their car please let me know!

 

i have one t clamp

 

What kind of BOV do you want to buy?

 

LOL thanks OD, I'm just going to get a whole new set haha.

I have a bid on a Greddy RZ on ebay, waiting to see if that comes through.

 

You mean you need a Waste gate actuator right?

 

Yep!

 

Update I now have BOV, and I am working out the details on a water/oil line kit from the ebay seller.

I have a small setback financially due to a failed suspension project. I am on course to resurrecting that though, fully built car is almost here!!

also I have officially exceeded the value of my car in upgrades purchased and am still 3 years away from paying it off! Go me!

 

Meah, been there for awhile now. I am going to try as hard as i can not to do it again with the R3 when it arrives.

 

What you really meant to say!

 

what Shady meant to say

 

What houston meant to say

 

No! lol, I already have a mountain of parts for my 05 i cant even think about. The newer can will remain stockish.

 

I had to buy a shelf system for all the parts I have laying around.... At least you have an excuse you aren't home!

 

Well I've been workign on this project all week long.



Its been a giant pain in the ***, I am finishing the upper arms tomorrow and will have the car back together sometime this week.

In other news!

The New CHRA is on its way with oil and water lines, took me forever to get the kit but I wanted to save on shipping.

Next up is a boost controller and getting all the little crap dealt with (ceramic coating, downpipe wrap, compressor housing honed, etc etc).

Ok well that's it for now I'm off to Philly on Friday hopefully I'll have all the parts I need by then!

 

^^Cool story bro...

Lol...I'm bored...I woke up, and now I can't sleep...*sigh*...Good work.

 

same here and its a pita!

 

obviously you can't sleep because my story was so cool.

Same here with the bushings, or the not sleeping part... LOL..

 

Whats everyone's thoughts on upgrading the actuator to 11 psi?

 

aren't you going to run a bc?

 

I would run a good boost controller instead.

 

He's just like you; he'll do anything to avoid bringing his thread to a conclusion ...

 

conclusions are overrated.

 

Any greddy owner should just read 9k's thread and we would have no use for any other build threads at all. We would just get the lovely completed threads instead.
