hell yeah josh, that looks very clean, me like

 

Woohoo! that sounds fun! I must get a ride next time I come up, by the way I have my spoiler now, i'm trying to think of a time this week I can bring it by your shop...possibly tomorrow but we'll see

 

Sounds like Dave has a runner now. It won't be long before I have something for ya Dave To bad the FB looks like she's been molested right now.........

 

Does anyone know what psi the stock injectors on a TII will max out at? I'm thinking 10 but I want to be sure

 

Ya Ant, i have officially concluded that my cat is the reason behind my turbo creep and such so we definetly need to empty it out, did u find out when you can get over here? than ks man

 

Anthony, the stock 550s really max out before 10psi. If you can find a set of GSL-SE injectors, you can use them in your secondarys. That's what I'm going with. I think Josh Long has a set of 880s, but they are high impedance. You would had to do the resistor mod to run them. Well, the turbo FB is without a heart right now. I had pulled the engine. Should have my gaskets here shortly and start putting the TII together.

 

She's been a good 'ol girl. I hope Josh enjoys her.

 

Naw, if anything your cat would keep you from creeping. Considering you still have your cat and stock intake it's hard to believe you would creep. We'll see after it gets punched out tho

 

Well crap, I was hoping to get away with upping the boost to 10psi or a little more with a boost controller w/o having to replace them, but I think I can get away with 10psi conservatively w/o doing any damage. In the process of gettin the walbro pump to accomidate the increase in boost

 

....rip Rew...

 

?!?!

 

Well it only creeps 1 psi you know if i'm goin 45 in 5th and floor it will creep, but thats it.

 

5th will always creep in most cars. It is a Overdrive gear and just causes creeping. Happens in twin turbo Fd's and in mine at one time..

 

oh...........wow u made me feel a lot better but i was told a slightly clogged cat would cause the idle vaccum to sit arout 15 instead of the usual 19 or 10 right?

 

maybe, there are sooo many vacuum lines you have yet to remove so their could be a tiny crack in just several of them that could cause your vacuum to read a little low. Either way I doubt it's something you should worry bout too much. I'm pretty sure your cat is bad by now anyway. what type of exhaust do you have again? if it's full 3" rb then I think that gets rid of the cat and replaces it with a presilencer.

 

its a 3in apexi downpipe to a stock cat and 3.5 in piping to a jdm muffler...u commin sat ant?

 

ya, i should be there sat. I'll hit you up.

Hey Dave, I can come drop off the spoiler tomorrow morning at your job?

 

The beginning of the end..

 

What is this madness!? beginning of the end of what?

 

Engine blew

 

Rear rotor and housing and plate are saved. The front rotor and housing are trash and I can't tell about the irons..( Can't get the front bolt off with the impact I have here. Bringing home the bigdog tomorrow. It absolutley destroyed at least 1 Apex seal on the front. There are soooo many flakes of seal and chips/pices all over the place. A nice little pile came out of the exhaust manifold.

The turbo seems to have alot more play in it then a few days ago, but it was on it's way out and as long as the fins are usable I am not worrying about that now..

All this because a 2 dollar hose for the WG control split on the way to the meet Sunday...at least I got some farewell pictures I guess

 

 

Dave you need to swicth to that dependable FB you've got, it will never let you down like this

 

It's not the cars fault. It was a rush of forced air( as much as the turbo could throw at it) when the hose split in the middle of a pull going to the meet But , yeah the FB is coming home this weekend I was running rich but not 25+ psi rich My boost gauge(s) both maxed their readings out. One is a Greddy boost gauge, and the other is the ECU commander reading of the MAP sensor

 

hey Dave, I couldn't find your job. I'm bad with directions so I guess I could just come by your house one of these evenings and drop it off?
