Re: New Project: Mild build

What are these big changes? Don't hold out on us! ...oh ya know...things :dance: I'll post updates as stuff changes. I can plan for months to do something and then decide to change it last minute :dunno: More pics, and again if anyone sees something they like on this engine setup- literally anythin...

Re: New Project: Mild build

Decided to make some big changes in the engine bay. I will be parting out the entire current engine setup. Please feel free to message me on here if interested in anything. Can ship any bolt ons right away. The internals will be ready following the block teardown that I will be documenting on here. ...

Re: New Project: Mild build

Not too much has changed with the engine setup; just put the oil cooler back in with a partsshopmax oil filter relocation and plumbed in the accusump with an electronic pressure control valve.

Re: ka-t running rich, won’t idle or accelerate

One major thing about these engines (or any really) is to start out with the simplest fix first. Their are many pieces, but all that aside, it really just comes down to fuel and spark. Once one finds out which side the problem is coming from, just start checking off things from the list (starting wi...

Re: Supporting turbo manifold and and cat back

I honestly don't think I have any supports. The manifold is from ETS and was very compact, with the mount flange for the turbo very close to and almost level with the flange going to the block. My guess is that the thick flange and maybe even the thickness of the tubing coupled with the solid exhaus...

This is awesome! I've never heard of this before. So, I'm trying to wrap my head around this system.... So you stay on the throttle and when you push the clutch in, it triggers a rev limiter (to whatever RPM you set it at based on a throttle input % ? ), then when the clutch is released you are basi...

Re: Adam's formerly supercharged... now soon-to-be-turbo'd,

Man, you've been doing WORK on this project lately! Your engine bay is looking clean! I like what you did with the plug wires.

How does your data logging work? Do you choose a time period for it to record?

On a different note, have you had a chance to mess around with that tig welder yet?

Re: New Project: Mild build

This product has exceeded my expectations so far. I have checked the lower pan mounting surface with a straight edge and everything appears to be on-point and even. The 1/2" NPT fitting also screwed in tight, without issue. http://i627.photobucket.com/albums/tt352/cleantune2/0412172053_HDR_zpsw...

As far as HID since we have older cars the wiring goes bad so if it's in your budget redo all the wiring or just simply ground out the HID kit and see if that works. As far as the Accusump I think YOU should do it if it's not your primary vehicle and change your thread name to "SPICY Build&quo...
