Come on toyotaracer spill the beans...You know the SL lurkers want to see some pics

Bring it on

 

yea well, I don't know if he's on SL but there's a guy out in riverside driving a RWD converted tC (I know you guys won't believe me either, but that's all good)

 

LOL , I dont know how to post pictures . and its not really all that pretty to look at anyway .

 

what kind of numbers are we looking at with this homemade kit?
give us more info on what you did.
post pics.

 

i have heard about him...

 

trust me , it isnt anything special . I had the turbo from my truck when I upgraded to a gt3071r and got the WG and BOV for free I made the pipes and manifold , so all said and done I spent around 150 dollars and 100 of it was the turbo timer . I am gonna install my water injection this weekend which was 200 dollars . my girlfriend said WOW its like it slings me like a slingshot . hahaha

 

Hey your going to get your girlfriend addicted to boost if you keep it up! There is no way she is leaving you now

 

Yeah we see the pictues? lol it's to post up the pictures. lol

 

How much are you boosting? and how long have you had it running?

 

Put the car on the dyno yet?
What part of New Orleans are you located at?

 

i show you mind when i m done

 

thanks for the help Eric-tc

I started on it friday and finished saturday , I had the manifold welded and machined . I just had to fit the collector cut the hole and weld it on the manifold . everything else was done saturday .

I am running 3psi rightnow , I need to weld my wideband bung in this weekend . I havent dynoed it and prolly never will , I will go to the drag strip and see what it will run tho .

I actually live in pearl river La. but work in N.O. and it will give peeps better idea where im located .

 

i was curious how did you get the pipe for the recirculator to fit did you just cut a hole on the compressor side pipe and used JD weld and stick a pipe on that end and then you had a recirculator opening ahaha!! is that how you did it...thats wat i m going to do cause i cant find any one that welds aluminium

 

to me it has almost the same structure (form, shape) as the Turbonetics... right?

 

Looks like someone used XS power parts!!! Shame on you.

 

looks pretty good for a custom kit....welds look a little iffy though, and im not sure but it looks like the upper charge pipe is rubbing agaist your hood =/

what is the clamp on your dump for ur wastegate? is that a little v-band flange holding it?

 

watching.

 

my inlet pipes are mild steel , so I just welded it , and ill tell u this thing drives exactly like stock . as far as the welds everything is stick welded and ill put money those welds r stronder then any tig or mig weld . I know the WG downpipe welds look kinda crappy , but thats cause its a stainless pipe and I ran out of stainless rods . what is wrong with xs power boxman ? I know its chinese made , but its all replicated off of tial . it holds 3psi with no spike or creep so im happy . oh and the WG DP has a slip fit so it wont be rigid , keeps it from cracking . also the upper pipe is rubbing the felt , I guess its happening when the engine torques . but its no big deal it not metal to metal .

 

No intercooler?

 

XS power has gained quite a reputation of leaving you high and dry at the worst possible times thats all. Keep an eye on it. I dont bash you for using it I just think there are better options on the market.
