this thing costs way too much but now we can throw a 44mm gate on there and not worry about boost creep

 

In my experience one 44 won't be that great in handling boost creep. I'd suggest going to a 60 instead if possible

 

Well were gonna keep the turbo pretty small maybe .60 or .62 and boost probably around 10 psi you think id need a 60mm? id probably have to upgrade manifolds too because i dont think the hks would even be big enough to support flow to that

 

Some people run dual 44mm's as well

 

Rule of thumb is, with low pressure you need a bigger waste-gate size, with higher pressure a smaller one is sufficient.

 

I'm thoroughly impressed with this build. Read from start to finish

 

I also installed PBM solid front and rear diff mounts. Difference is my rear diff mounts were dropped in from the top instead of the bottom. Could this be why my car is having a crazy whine in the back? I'm thinking axles are under pressure between diff and wheel bearings.

 

hasnt been alot to update recently but our tax returns should be coming in soon and we can get the ball rolling. i also decided to do a full shave on the engine bay there will be work on that soon

thanks man!

the whine is normal for solid diff mounts. the correct way to install them is with the flanged part facing the ground its not necessarily bad to run them how you have it but its straining the front diff mount and you aren't getting the geometry correction the bushings are designed to give

 

Got time to work on stuff so started shaving the firewall. The Larger holes will be filled with sheet metal by our friends doing the fab. The goal is to get this engine bay looking montequilla. For those of you white folk, that means buttery



Sanding sucks


Taking this opportunity to get rid of a few small rust spots before sending the car out too

 

Thank you for the white folk translation

 

powered through a couple more days of filling and sanding. this bay is gonna look $$$ once its sprayed



i dont like to think about how much of my life i has been spent sanding things







houston, we almost have touchdown (pardon the shitty lighting)



wanna get some dumb camber/angle going on soon. stuff is looking somewhat clean



free peek show via the wheelwells



we still got about one more good day of sanding to go and this thing will be able to get on the ground again finally

 

Are you sure the diff mounts go in from the bottom? Super now diff mounts go in from the top and come with a bottom piece. I have MMR ones and i have put them in from the top using the standard bump stops with no issues with clearance.
Did you have to shave the inside of the diff mounting points out to get them in from the bottom?

 

He is correct they go in from the bottom, they are to raise the differential. If you put them in through the top it pretty much leaves it at stock height.
No shaving is required as they fit the exact same either way.

 

How long did it take for you to receive the Abercrombie kit? I'm interested.

 

stated previously in thread. month and a half

 

Must have missed it, thanks!

 

updates guys I need something to do at work.

 

Yea I need something to do between taking claims lol

 

sorry guys its been raining the past 4 days so there wasnt much work we could get done :/ one of the drawbacks of not having shop space

 

you have no idea, try living in Canada where it's below 0*C for 6 months of the year.

 

yeah wed never make it were a bunch of pansies in california

but good news is i do have a little update

i came home with this last night from my buddy battlecat who gave me a ridiculous deal on it



im gonna have to make sense of that bucket of spaghetti somehow which doesnt seem like a lot of fun but necessary nonetheless. i plan to clean it up a lot by replacing the worn wires and connectors using solder instead of crimps when i can and ill most likely ditch the plastic looms for mil spec ones

it also came with this state of the art supercomputer to tune it with. i hear its using a version of windows thats not even out yet. ill probably end up using it for gaming

 

Legit. You can order new harness for $100 if ya want.

 

Sweet Computer, should be fun to slam it shut when it sounds off warnings and yell at it some!

 

the entire wiring harness for 100??

LINK ME SON

this is e6k btw

 

nice! I love my haltech sprint. thing does work
