Does it have a ground wire? You might want to check that it is a good solid ground.

 

Feels like it belongs.......

How come you ditched the oil sandwich adapter for feed?

 

I didnt ditch the sandwich adapter. I went and bought a prosport one.

 

yes it has a ground. I didnt change the ignition during install, but I suppose I could check the ground

 

 

Haha yea man congrates again!!

 

a couple things going on.

1) I am getting a misfire in "cylinder 2"
2) Turbo sounds very loud almost like I have a leak in something???? still have a perfect idle. I am guessing maybe a leak post turbo?
3) BC solenoid is making a clicking sound. I am guessing this is because it is bolted onto the car at a grounding point???

I will be getting under the car this evening to check it out.

 

1. fix that
2. high pitched whine noise at idle or what ?
3. No rubber isolator on the valve ?

 

2.the noise is like someone whistling. spooling is when it occurs. Normally you would hear the turbo whine at spool, not a dramatic whistle.

3. no there was not a rubber isolator on the valve. I can make one though.

 

does not sound normal at all - presume you have done a leak test ?

 

presume all you want.... but I haven't yet

 

Just bought another coupler. went with a 45 degree elbow reducer to better suit the angle change in the ms intake.

placed my Esmiral ignition up for sale.

 

Where did you place the 45 degree coupler? Also are you running the SOHN?

 

My 45 reducer is on the intake piping. It goes from the filter piping to the maf piping.

And yes. Running the sohn

 

first pic of the car turbo. just a cell phone pic but the lighting was good.

 

Is this thing done yet?















oh wait, wrong thread.







congrats chris.

 

got the new coupler in....





and the gauges at night

 

Nice man, are you getting an undertray for your intake?

 

Yeah. I am going to have one made.

 

Cool, I need to figure that out as well.

 

looking good !

 

looks good man!!

 

Use the OE tray until you have one made.

 

nice and clean

 

I sat down and totaled everything up to this point (there will be more costs as I plan to clean things up for a more presentable car). I will not break it all down like I did on my spread sheet but my total in to get the car to how it sits today (this is just the turbo build numbers, this total does not include mods I had prior to the build, exhaust, intake, ms kit, etc)

and the total is...... $3604.70

I will be upgrading a few things here and there like radiator, fuel pump, ignition... etc.

In my opinion I would say that I did not half *** this build... this was done right. For anyone out there that thinks you cant build a great car and stay within a budget... think again

My wallet thanks me for how I planned this out. I could have easily splurged on parts that I may not have needed and I am glad I spent the time doing loads of research.... Now I have money for when the engine needs a rebuild
