Also, you should get some 4port endplates... so you don't have to screw around with JB Weld anymore.

**********DIYWB O2 v2 -- what is this?***********

It's a device that will make you question some of the remarks made on this site about fuel and turboII cars. It's made me wonder about some of the remarks about fuel pumps, running too lean etc. Lots of bs has been spread around on this site. Just imho (cranky today).

Amen fellahs. No JB for me, LoL (god make it stop). Yeah, i should be fine for fuel, but that what the WBO2 is for. Ill be making a custom manifold to the turbo so i wont be ******* around with that silly spacer and stock turbo manifold. I might try to fit up a TII intake manifold but its not too important either way.

Yo,


Bah, I say bah!! Another NA stricken with Turbo-itis. I know two people converting NA to turbo, it's a big PITA and money drain.

Get ready for some RX-7 withdrawal, because your car is gonna be sittin' for awhile! Stay NA, stay on the road!

*grin*

Just givin' ya a hard time, best of luck on your project. Remember, boost is a drug and that Evil Snail is your pusher.

Id love to stay N/A, if i could have about 250-300HP with AC and i dont mean up at 9500RPMS either. N/A is cool, for race cars. I want some tunes, cool AC, and leather seats, so im going to turbo my beast to help lug some of this weight around and give it a noticable pep in its step. I shouldnt have much down time at all, im going to wire up all the electronics and install the fuel pump and injectors ahead of time while im fabing up the stuff for the turbo "bolt-on". Shouldnt be more than two or three days downtime if all goes well. I have spare parts such as an oil cooler i can pre-tap and weld in a bung for the hose and a spare oil pan to do the same. So it should be one day of taking it all down and partial installation of everything and another day of finishing up/tuning and maybe one last day for some "oh ****" type things. Ive been planing and working this out for almost a year now here and there after watching how other people have done their bolt-ons (aaron cake and bambam7 specifically). Ill probably make another post similar to Aaron Cakes "turbo progess" type deal once i accually start to get rolling. If anyone has some criticism/advice shoot for it, id love to hear it all as i dont want to run into anything on the way. Ill be using 2" exhaust piping for IC tubing using pre-bent elbows and things and possibly some "pie-cutting" techniques to route it. Im more excited about getting an S-AFCII and that WBo2 than accually installing the turbo, LOL.
