I would really like to have more info about that ported wastegate...

But MasterRX is right, i should swap whole engine anyway....i already did TB mod on that turbo TB....

Aaron...how would u convert stock IC to front mount ??

 

Enlarge the wastegate hole by a few mm to help with boost creep.

To make the stcoker IC to a front mount, just hang it out front in the grille, and have someone make the piping for you. I don't see why anyone would do this, the stock IC's are pretty damn small.

 

You might want to mention the RACE GAS used with that kinda boost???

Someone else suggested that, but I'm not sure if I'll go that route. If I tap at the oil cooler, I get a good supply of oil that has not gone through the pressure regulator yet. So the pressure will be a little higher, but I will not deprive the engine of a little oil...

Yeah, I'll add that to the list.

Both the NA and the TII have an air tube that directs air from the airpump to the manifold. They are in different locations on teh TII and NA.

I will be having a welder relocate the outlet to the top of the end take instead of the side. The TII intercooler is actually pretty efficient when front mounted. The stock location is terrible. I am using the TII unit because I got it cheap.

 

It's been a while since I had any smog things on my car but doesnt the airpump shoot air into the cat??? Just a little confused because I just looked at the old stock N/A manifold and there was only a connection for the o2 sensor.
BTW the stock intercoolers do suck even as a front mount but it will help, I know because I had to use one when I first started out and my turbo project, and my intake temps where really high even when you put it in the front, but again it will help

 

I could have sworn the NA had an air tube in the manifold, but I could be wrong...no wait, I just looked at a gasket and I'm right. It's on the engine block, and blows air into the manifold. According to the manual, it operates up to 2500 RPM, at which point the ACV switches over and directs air directly to the cat.

As for the intercooler, it will probably serve my purpose as a front mount. I may go to a larger unit if I find out the stock unit doesn't cut it...

 

Oh your talking about that thing..Sorry didnt realise sooner but my 91 motor didnt have that and my friends 88 did, but now I know what you mean.
now about that, you see in order for the turbo to fit you will have to get rid of the AVC and block it of by using something like quick steel or JB weld, now I know your gonna say why not just use a block of plate right??
Well the turbo would sit like not even a 1/4 of an inch away from the lower intake manifold, so the block of plate from mazdatrix wont work because is just to thick to work there incase you wanted to use that.
Just letting you know what to take care of so you wont have any trouble.
See ya

So the turbo does not clear the ACV? Hmm...That's a problem as I will need to pass emissions....Guess I'll have to wait until I have everything measured up before I deal with that stuff...Or I'll just have a custom turbo manifold made to space it farther away from the lower intake...I guess eliminating the ACV isn't that big of a deal as I can simply redirect the airpump to the cat and then use a THIN metal plate to cover the ACV holes...

 

I see you are in Ontario, don't you love our new emmision laws?
Best off to get rid of the AVC, and fully dump ALL of the air straight from the A/P to the cat when you go for your test, also doesn't hurt to lean things out a bit either.
Lots of fresh air in the exhaust will diffuse the pollutant concentrations!
Works like a charm.
Then take it off untill next year.

 

Ya just run the airpump straight to the cat, hell when we still
had emissions here in florida my car passed with only one cat and no ACV

 

nope 94 octane pump gas!!!!

 

the car originally had an ambient system,later on we changed it to fuel injection and used alcohol since we didn't have the proper material to setup an intercooler for the car with the race being the next day!
