hey danny, correct me if i'm wrong, but i didn't see direct fire ignition in your turbo fb during the mazda tech meet

 

I have everything wired but I'm not using it now. It was leaning out too much with direct fire.

 

Better watch out. Whole buncha creepy people are gonna come out from behind your car and break into a song and dance routine...

Oh man, I'd be pissed...

CHORUS: We've got parts for your car! You don't have to go far! You can find it on EEE-Baaayyyy!!!

ME: Click-Click BOOM (12 Gauge warning shot flies through the air.) GET THE **** AWAY FROM MY CAR! How many times do I have to tell you ********?!? What're you, following me around or something?!

 

Sweet! That is a very nice looking setup you got.



Whats the wires wrapped around the grille for?

 

Some cheap fog lights that dont work....They will be coming off, just not high on the priority list Want to get the engine done first.

I figure I would need two good 8 hour days to finish her, turbo set up wise. Its nice when you already have a plan of attack before you start. My wife is getting mad at me for spending most of this weekend working on the car. thats why we are going out today.

Then on top of that Im working on the car in a residential area. usually 10 pm to 1am, cant use the power tools to make the piping at that time. That cutoff saw is a little noisy.

Should get to work on it a little tonight and Saturday.

 

Cool, looks like I'm not the only one that's gonna have the intercooler entirely above that cross bar thing for lack of a better term. I was wondering about the air flow to the intercooler (since it's kinda up high and hidden) but those slats for the grill angle up so it should get cool air rammed in there just fine right?

 

Cartech had the intercoolers up there. I'm sure there's enough airflow for whatever your needs.

 

k well this might sound stupid but are they selling what ever kit you got on the internet anywhere?? and if no where would you get the pieces for that?? and what would be the best carb to get if your guture plans want to include a turbo?? i got a lot more about the make up of this turbo kit but i will just pm or email whoever seems to want to help or knows the most. but your setup looks damb good and wish u the best of luck getting that done!!

 

Only place I know that you might be able to find this kit it is Yahoo auctions Japan. yahoo auctions link I have seen parts show up on ebay from time to time.

As for your carb question, try the search function there is alot of info on what people use and there reasons. My kit was made for the Weber IDA carb so it was an easy choice for me.

Thanks

 

thanx for the link but o cant read japanies so i didnt know what the hell i was doing but could u gove me a little more help on where to get some of these parts like the turbo hat of what not and the manifolds cause i could prolly start to build it after i had those

 

I got some more done, Intercooler piping is finished till I get my HKS BOV and new coupler silicone hoses comes in the mail. I have decided to go to the oil pan with the oil return due to the fact that the turbo seems lower than most I have seen and the oil outlet is damn near too low to go into the front cover. BTW these are actual daytime pictures




This one is so you can see the angle I have to deal with on the oil return

 

That last pic, looks like the Idler arm is gonna hit the wastegate or the oil return line. Perhaps the C&P Rack and Pinion kit will clear it?

 

It looks like you can rotate the WG 90 degrees so the oulet faces down, if you are having clearance issues.

 

Thanks guys I noticed that when I installed the turbo the first time. I checked for clearance on the idler arm from left to right and there was no contact. the original dump pipe I made had clearance issues but that has since been adjusted. I made the dump pipe go straight back to the rear of the car parallel to the exhaust manifold. Then Im going to drop it down. All is good. Hopefully I will start it this weekend!! ZOOM ZOOM!!!
