Coolant overflow???

What glowshift gauges you have 85Gen1. I have the elite 10 colors and love them

85Gen1

haha ya it is a nos energy bottly the overflow was in the way of the intercooler pipe so i went for somthing smaller and it still isnt right. Twinkletoes they are the elete 7series if my memory serves me right. i like them there a pain in the butt to get out of show mode but i like them i can post a pic of them on later.
so i got a question since i have more or less two of the turbo 1 gen gods posting how much whp do you guys think im making. i got it running today and it finally pulled correctly at 17lbs. we build a talon with my buddie and this feels alot faster than his and he was running 25lbs could you guys throw out a guess? i dont rele have a clue

Do you have a wideband and EGT? I wouldn't run that kind of boost until you are ABSOLUTELY SURE that you aren't leaning out.

When it comes to turbo engines, it is better to be RICH, than POOR (lean).

Haha. Nice!! It's still stockport, but you are running 17psi .. Directfreak would know better then I.

Like he said get a wideband and EGT guage. I have the 7 series glowshift wideband. For the money, it's the ****!! Helps A TON!! I also would like a EGT guage.. Thats my next guage to get.

Keep it up!!

your crazy....what turbo do you have...?

85Gen1

no i currently dont have an ETG in the car.. its on my list. I do have a wideband in the car. its innovate's LC-1 with logworks 2. at idle im around 12.4 to 13.6 and in boost it was right around 11. i didnt get true numbers because i forgot to record the data on my laptop.. hopefully if it doesnt rain i can do that tonight.
Ya im a big fan of the glowshift gauges. they are easy to set up and they look pretty good in the car.

Rx71King. its a Godspeed 16g turbo. its a td05 that people put in eclipse and talons. it was cheaper to get their turbos so i flanged it for theirs.

DirectFreak. is 17psi too much for stock ports? ive gotten alot of diffrent answers ranging from 10psi is too much to 22 is fine?

Directfreak

It depends on many factors. Fuel quality, intake temps, humidity, timing, and the tune to name a few. Based on your mods, I think you might be pushing it.

I would definitely run a little less boost if I were you. Like 14psi-ish.

On 93 octane, assuming the rest of your fuel system is up to snuff, I would not run over 15psi. Higher than that, you would need a higher octane fuel.

85Gen1

ok awesome thanks for the advice, i was planning on running 12 to 15lbs of boost i had a new boost controller in the car and i wasnt sure where it was going to be.

Where is the best place to get a water temp on 12a. currently i have it tapped into the stock temp gauge on the bottom of the radiator and ive noticed that the car will be fairley warm and my gauge wont even read over 100. so im pretty sure it isnt the best spot. it does read the temp but it takes alot longer for the gauge to register that the engine is warm. any ideas of a better spot?

Directfreak

By the thermostat, on the neck/waterpump.

85Gen1

cool thanks for the help. Directfreak how hard was it to do the aerospace components brakes on your 7. since the car isnt running all its vac crap it really doesnt have the brakes to be pulling like this now. do u have a solution or a fairley inexpensive alternative?

Directfreak

iTrader: (2)

I couldnt tell you. I had such a problem modulating the front (TII) and rear Aerospace brake bias that I ended up disconnecting them and only running front brakes.

I have a set of TII rear brakes that I will eventually modify to fit the 8.8 rear.
Then will it will be properly matched, as an OEM TII would.

My best recommendation - leave the stock brakes alone. Just make sure you are running good rotors/pads/fluid, and replace the rubber lines with Braided Stainless Steel Brake Lines. That alone will make HUGE differences for ANY street driving.

The only reason to go bigger brakes is to reduce FADE, such as in a track where you are REPEATEDLY stomping on them.

I only changed mine because I needed to go 5 lug, to match the rear end.
Otherwise, they were fine.

85Gen1

we had problems on my vega with aerospace brakes, they were a complete pain in the ***, ok ill try that has anyone found out a way to make the brakes run with vac. My 7 had vacumn assist brakes and now since i dont have any of the garbage that was there before you have to pust EXTREMELY hard on the brakes to get the car to slow down.
Has anyone elese had this problem and fixed it.

Directfreak. did you ever get the bigger wastegate spring in ur 7 to run 20psi? ive been dying to know if u have or not because or your vid.

How long do stock clutches live under boost? i replaced mine a while ago but havent driven the car in a long time so it really only has about 200 miles on it? are they fairly reliable under boost or do i need to look for another one?

Are you running the stock transmission? At 17psi? I don't think that will last for very long.

I would recommend you pick up a Turbo II transmission which can be found for $200-$300. You will, or course need a custom driveshaft which will probably run you about $150-$200.

I run a ACT clutch which has great feel and no slippage. I'm not sure which one it is as it came with a package that I bought off a forum member.

85Gen1

ya 17 psi i think is too much that was my first run im gonna put it down to 13 or 14 this weekend and its gonna live around there for a while.

i was looking at ACT clutches and clutchmasters. is yours a puck clutch? do the turbo II transmissions bolt right up?

85Gen1

im having trouble wite my air fuel especially when you go from primarys to secondaries.. in my primarys my AFR is around 13.3-12.2 which im ok with but when i go into my secondarys it spikes to 23.3 to 24 it does that for a few seconds then pulls an drop back to 12's can anyone help.. i was wondering if it was mt accelerator pump? i put this question on the single turbo fourm but all i got was people critisizing me on my signature.... thanks for the help and advice

-Rotary Boy-

85Gen1

np, you can private chat me or somthin and i can help you out. ill post more on the specs of it later

Directfreak

iTrader: (2)

Yes, we were able to barely hold 20 psi at Redline - did 507RWHP back then.
Turns out it WASN'T the wastegate. It' was that the Turbo was too small.
The engine wanted more boost, but the Turbo wasn't large enough to give it the volume of air it needed.

85Gen1

did you every get the bigger turbo? my car goes to the dyno tomarro im hoping to see some ok numbers, running fairley low boos 12psi! ill have a video up tomarro unless it blows up!!!

Directfreak

iTrader: (2)

I had bought one, and didn't install it. A couple of months later,
a friend "borrowed" it, and was going to pay me for it.

Yadda, Yadda, Yadda, - I got fucked.

85Gen1

damn, that sucks.. what octaine are you running to make 5xx?

im trying to decide of i run a race gas in mine for one of the runs today? can you buy jets for nikkis? or do you have to modify them
