So today, techinically speaking tuesday the 19th i began to assemble my custom tC turbo kit...

im running a garrett 60-1 turbo, 57trim & .70 a/r with a cast iron manifold

today went by easily, we removed the oil pan, which was suicidal but the job got done, took out the intake, old header, and radiator fans, we assembled the turbo to the manifold and clocked it to make it fit. 2moro (wedsday) im expecting my dezod IC piping and dezod oil feed/drain lines to come in so i can pop in the dezod fmic so thursday i can have it towed, or lol driven open turbo to the exhaust shop to whip me up a DP. here are some pics of today.

here is before turbo my beutiful ROYGBIV alphawerks header

header off

removing oil pan, heres my friend working for the life of him to take off that oil pan, finally did after shmelting it w/ the blow torch lol thank u turbo write up

mani&turbo before its on car

loving the inlet.

and mounted to head



where teh DP will go



its a work in progress hopfully 2moro things will go smoothly...
ill try n keep u updated, boost gauge is mounted also ill try n geta pic of that too.

 

looking good soo far.. How much did you spend on that manifold.. What are the a/r on your turbo. For insatance mine is a t3/t4 57 trim and the compressor housing is a .50 and my turbine side is a .63

 

better change that WG asap dude... that ebay WG doesnt hold to well... good luck ... should be a fun project.. LMK if u need tuning help... i know a great tuner for tc's running greddy or fic systems...

 

the a/r is .70

 

ehh its no tial, i plan on replacing it eventually.

for tuning i thought id take it over to louis at os'cars on 107th n 8th by FIU
im using the dezod/deatschewerks 550cc on an fic w/ a boomslang, quoted at 260dollars dynod & tuned. what tuner were you thinking about?

 

i spent if i can rember around 150-200 for that manifold,

 

oh.. ok i was wondering. If it was pretty cheap i would buy that instead of getting me a new top mount manifold and new dp.

 

whats the exhaust a .63 or .82 I'd definately love for you to let me know how that turbo spools up. Cuhz Im thinking of getting a 60-1 with a .63 I found one for $550 brand new garrett

 

dude lol. i have treadstone and 60-1 go away.

 

hows it spool aen..? also could you message me so I can get a better understanding on how to tune the f/ic.. I wanna learn to do it myself. That way when I go for 15 lbs I can do it on my own..

Sorry for thread jack..

b.o.t

 

Great project, Crayola.. I wish I could see that going on in person.

Where in Miami are you?

 

nice, more styles! more fun!

 

greddy tC its .63 just woke up im gona try n start to feed some more boost lines while i wait for freeekin ups and fedex argh waiting is the hardest. ill post up pics in a bit.

 

^^ more pics! that turbo is kinda big too, it can go up to 600 hp

 

doing it at my house in the gables. across st. from UM

 

good luck! seriously making me wanna do a custom kit for my self down the road

 

my boy kiko hes up in broward tunes... he works mostly on toyota/scions/ lexus's etc.... builds toyo's ... has been for years now..

i also have a friend who tunes with lance (from the old days of toyomoto) so i might be able to arrange that also.. both of these guys are well known locals who work/tune toyota

 

cool, i think im gona stick with oscars for now just because hes worked w/ my car before and has experiecne w/ the fic, but if **** hits the fan ill be contacting u bout these tuners.

 

Uhg.. I don't like Oscar's...

Does he still have his Audi S4? That kid lies a lot - and he inflates his numbers on the dyno. I saw some cars making numbers they really shouldn't in person.

 

ive heard alot of bashing bout oscars i heard they actually show numbers that seem to be a little bit low. Iv worked with him on my car in the past and found him to be quite knowledgeable with a turbo tC and the aem unit. he even tunes turbo tCs on teh safcII, id rather not go down that road which is wh¥ im using aem. plus there location is so damn conveniant, i may get tuned at lopez racing which is where im going to get my 3''dp &wastegate purge made. i was going to go to miami muffler but they seem to be slackin on some stuff particularily in the flange department. i just finished hookin up my new mini radiator fan. the boomslang just came in the mail just waiting on UPS with the damned dezod pipes.
