My new GT42R setup is almost done!!!
 

Hey, so I bought this car back in Aug. of 04. It was a 93 BB base with 40,000 original miles on it. It came with a few mods: HKS F-CON piggyback, HKS EVC, HKS intakes, PFS SMIC, Strut bar, Front and rear sway bars, HKS boost gauge, HKS FCD, HKS SSQV BOV, RB single tip catback. Right after I bought it the sequential system stopped working right so i went full non-sequential. Anyway I only drove it few times before I moved to florida to go to school (florida tech). The car stayed in my parents garage while my dad started it every few weeks. When I came back for thanksgiving break I drove the car for a week and it ate a full quart of oil. Then i left to finish up the semester. I came back in early dec and then the car was eating 2 full quarts of oil every week!!!!! So I tore it apart sold all of the aftermarket crap except for the cat-back. Then I took off the stock twins and found the problem - they had huge cracks in them and were toasted. So I tore everything down to the block and decided to redo everything. I was going to go with a greddy T-78, but got a very good deal on a slightly used GT42R custom setup so I went with that instead. The car has been down since X-mas and I am getting close to finishing it now - I hope :rolleyes:

Here is the car in late Jan

Your links don't work.

Uh, chief, you cant host pics off of your HDD....You said a tech school right? :P

hopefully this works

here are some more

Good god, that turbo is large!

thats a nice freakin turbo!!!

I will post some interior shots when i get off from work today

my car when i first bought it

looks really nice but.......OH MY GOD SO MANY FREEKING WIRES, TUBES AND SHIT. Get that cleaned out and it will be beautiful

damn thats a big snail

yea most of those lines are for my 2 - 38mm TIAL wastegates and profec B. The blue line is the alcohol/H2O injection line coming from the trunk. HAHA my passenger fender well is full of so many wires cause I have 4 electronic gauges with sensors going underneath the hood. If someone ever hits my passenger fender I will be so screwed. My 4" DP barely fits in there.

I still have to finish my fuel system. I have 2 nippondenso (supra) pump that sit in the tank. One goes to the primary rail while the other goes to the secondary rail. All new fuel line 3/8in the whole way. So I have 2 feed lines. After they come out of the rail, I am using the regulator as a "T" and then I have one 3/8in return fuel line going back into the tank.

Who's turbo manifold and dp is it using? Why was the seller selling it?

Looks good.What intercooler are you using?

You own a WS6 and a BB FD?! I envy you.:D

holy mother of rotary! that turbo is gi-normous!

yep the GT42R is one large turbo!

I am running the magnus motorsports manifold with 1 tial 38mm wastegate on each exhaust runner (so 2 total). The downpipe is a 4" magnus piece too. The intercooler is a custom made one using a spearco core and custom end-tanks and piping.
Also, the reason why the last owner sold the kit was because he was going to the dark side ---> LS6 haha

Oh and the WS6 is my dad's car, its all stock and when he talks shit about it, I just point to my plates :D

:rofl: good shit...

here are some shots of my finished interior
Interior

I thought that WS6 was a firehawk.

it is not the firehawk, (which is = to a camaro SS), it is 02 Ram Air (one of the last 5 brand new that were left in the country cause he got it in 03) WS6, 325hp, 350trq, but its a slushbox :gay:
WS6 = wide ass tire handling package
Ram Air WS6 is = to Z28 camaro

looks good in the pic but since you've had your hands on it let me ask you....how do you like it? Does it seem to fit good and look like it wont have any rubbing problems? I'll have that same setup on my car shortly and I'm just wondering how the fit and finish is.

the kit fits good but again it is all custom, the tightest place is where the DP barely fits between the LIM and the fender. Do you have the Magnus GT42R kit?

Marco (owner of Magnus) is making me a exhaust manifold that sounds just like yours along with a 4"dp. I'm going to supply my own GT42 so I'm not really buying the "kit" but the manifold and dp. Thats why I was wondering what you thought of the craftsmanship and fit.

Stephen

the fit and finish is top notch, and the steel is THICK so no worrying about cracking it.

yea, I've seen pics of his work and talked to him a lot so I firured it would be top notch. He uses 16 gauge 321ss with 1/2" thick 321 ss flanges. Awesome quality material, I'm glad to hear the fit and finish are top notch. I'm real excited about getting mine

Looks nice mate.
Is your motor ported ? What seals are you runnning? What are you using to fuel it ? Last of all how much are you hoping for and at waht psi.
Scott

Many many questions lol

hey it is the stock block with 40,000 original miles on it, so stock ports and seals, my fuel system is made up of 2 nippondenso FPs (supra TT), 3/8th SS and braided line the whole way back, 2 feed lines, one for each pump and rail, aeromotive Fuel pressure regulator, and 3/8th SS return line

As far as power, i am shooting for 22psi because i still have the stock map sensor

Nice one. Looks good stuff. I take it you are shooting for around 500ish hp with it then
SCott

correct

Look forward to seeing the final results. How far off do you think it all is
Scott

looks to me like you have the center section of the turbo at an angle, better make sure you straighten that up before you run it.

also once you get it started let me know if it smokes at all. ive had problems with gt series turbos when mounting at an angle, oil builds up in the rear and comes out the back.

yours isnt at too bad of an angle though, so i would be suprised if you have that issue.

Well all of the "under the hood" stuff is done (except for my oil catch can). Now all I have left to do is get my Apexi PFC and get tires. I am limited to the stock rims for now so I am getting the Fuzion ZRi 245/45Z 16" tires. Also I still have to finish my dual supra pump setup but that is almost done as well. I will post pics of it before I drop it back down into the tank. I should be completely done and tuned by very late may or early june.

more pics

looks pretty good.

oil feed looks large diameter and long in length.

what size return did you use?

The stock MAP sensor will not read at anywhere near 22 psi!

If you haven't already bought the tires, Nitto 555R's work well on the stock rims. I've got the 245/50R16s on my rear wheels w/ Falken 451 225/45Z16s on the front.

Beat me to it...dont even THINK about running more then 1bar on the stock map sensor.

kaboom......

how much boost can a 3bar gm map sensor read then?

3BAR........... 1BAR = 14.7 PSI.. you do the math

I've got a new 3 bar map sensor that I'll sell if you want it. I bought two on accident.

Twin Nippondenso (Supra) Fuel Pump Setup
 

This is my twin supra pump setup. The pumps are wired with 10 gauge wire strait off of the battery so they will get plenty of juice. The one pump's wiring is jumped right off of the other pump. The fuel pumps are controlled by a Bosch relay. The fuel lines are all 3/8th SS braided and hardline from the pumps to the rails and then back to the tank. It was a snug fit trying to get the pump assembly down into the tank because it kept on hitting the back half of the baffle, but I made it fit. This setup should give me more than enough fuel to feed my 1000cc primaries and 1600cc secondaries for my Garrett GT42R. Tell me what you guys think.
Thanks,
Phil

here are some pics

I haven't researched wiring for dual pumps, is this method common?

no this method is not common, but it works better. Less Wire = less resistance.

Less wire = less voltage drop, not less resistance. Larger diameter wire = less resistance.

running pumps in parallel = less current thru the piggy backed pump.
