i used the stock manifold, cut it, and flipped it over.

*****So after another month of waiting, and a few days of hardship with oil issues, my tubro is done, and im posting up the build.
*stainless mani and DP heliarch welded
*volvo td05-12b turbo
*35mm wastegate (open dump)
*tc injectors
*CXracing intercooler
*bosch copper plugs



ftting the IC
routing the pipes
lower pipes
hairspray trick to stop boost leak
pipes all routed
changing out the plugs and the injectors
turbo bolted up
getting things hooked up.
used the stock airbox as a temporary intake till i build my aluminum air box.
filter in cap allows oil return to drain into breather on valve cover
i will get a diff banjo fitting so the oil line doesnt stick up like that.
turbo and DP are kinda close to brake, so i ghetto fabbed a heat shield till i make a carbon one.
sexy blacked out pipes, and grill trimmd to fit. fairly stealth
my camcon hidden away.
AFR, Boost, Oil prs. Oil temp (oil press sensor died)
boost guage from my friends srt4 haha, hey it works
and just showing off my guage


so, im running 5.5-6psi open wastegate. she's pretty stealth until the wastegate opens, then people look over at me wtf was that?! lol its awesome. becuase the pipping and the turbo, and the stock air filter, from a dig she doesnt spool till 3700 or so, but any other gear will spool pretty quick. im running afr's of 10.6-11 or so, but my only tuning device is a camcon at the moment, so it fluctuates a lil. 6psi feels amazing tho, she pulls very hard. my friend will be going to a dyno with his srt ina month or so, and i plan to go with him that day so i can have my car dyno'd. but it feels like it pulls harder than my 35 shot did and i ran a 16.1 1/4 with that shot lol.

 

Love it! Awesome thinking

 

so ya, at night when it cools the down, shes a beast, the tires will slip or hop a tiny bit when she hits boost in first, and it i go through a dip with water and the tires are wet at all when i hit boost, forget about traction till it shifts into second, i just let off cuz all the wheel hop lol.

 

you could get one of these intercoolers that will work out better. it will boost faster too. http://www.cxracing.com/mm5/merchant...ry_Code=IC35IN

 

i'm liking the oil cooler in the upper grill area alot

 

I'm using the Dezod / 365 Motorwerks I/C, works great, mounts mid-grill, oil cooler in lower. 365 could probably get one cheap w/ piping to the throttle and around the batery.

lol, thats my intake in the grill, it has the stock paper filter atm, gota get money for a better filter haha. or you talking about the cooler behind my IC piping? thats actuially a trans fluid cooler. auto box haha. ill check out that IC

 

i asked zach before about his cooler and piping and id have to get all the pipes, and i just sisnt have the money for thw whole thing. im going to save up for the dezod same side IC tho.

 

takin her to the track tonight.

 

great place for the air filter!!!

 

I would've gotten a cheap ebay header and used that... the stock one is so outrageously restrictive.

 

wow, your turbo kit is really sick. its really nice to know there are other boosted 1NZ-FEs on the other side of the world.

 

got a ride in this last friday night and its fast. great job on the build man.

 

thanks mario. lol the stock header is restrictive for na, and becuase the tiny flange on the end, look at the way is now, it flows alot.

 

oh ya! on 5psi with a 2 1/4 inch exhuast with stock cat, i ran a 10.5 in the 1/8th mile.

 

well, the car is still running great, now running a 2.5" exhuast with no cat and the weapon r cel elim. and no tune problems at all.

slight changes and blacked out piping.

new exhuast

 

That is a ton of piping. I woudl have went with a Ic that had the inlet and outlet on the same side. All the same good work. I love bleach BTW!

 

love a boosted box, good looking ride i dig the lip kit

 

I heard this thing with the new exhaust and it is beefy sounding

 

awesome, keep up the good work
