inspiring post..

 

well my inspiration came from Aaron cake
i could have done the TurboII but just wanted to learn more about my car then just taking the motor out and doing the turbo motor swap...
The H1e should be here now but customs here are very slow these days ...

 

got the fuel pump today along with the sensors that where needed and finally got pictures of the turbo all cleaned up and compressor housing painted

 

got the fuel pressure regulator in today also fitted the gauge :




Gauge fitted

 

little update

got the turbo feed line today ,
also got some bump stops for the diff from summit racing,
and some 2stroke oil for some premix later on

tomorrow i will begin making the turbo manifold also got the ss bends

 

lots has been done since the last update :


more parts has been bought



couple of new gauges , shift light t4 gasket , t3/t4 oil drain fits on the h1e perfectly
and the gauge pod ,



sorry for the blurry picture




these baby's
120lb injectors



welded the manifold that was broken



turbo drain





tapped the oil filter , to get a feed for the turbo , thanks to my puertorican friend,

 

made my fuel rail from scratch

 

I don't know much about the Holset turbos but based on the A/R numbers that are being referenced I think it might be a little more laggy than you want. I think 1.0 A/R would be right where you want it. When you did the Bridge did you also port the exhaust and use turbo sleeves?

 

exhaust has been ported , also no 6 port acuators anymore they where thrown out , what sleeve are you talking about, inlighten me ,

 

six port rotor housings have sleeves in the exhaust port. it's like a piece of metal that's in the port.

 

yes those have been ported ,

 

actually I posted a little late. seems you have already chosen the turbo. I was running a 1.15 housing on a ported turbo motor with 9.4 rotors and the lag was nasty imo. I stepped down to a 1.0 housing and all was good.

Just those A/R s sounded big for a NA motor and if it has the diffusers in the exhaust sleeve then it would worsen I would think.

Seems like you got it going in a good direction now. It will be interesting to see how it runs.

 

well its been a long time since i've updated you guys ,
lots has been done ,

here are the pictures

haltech wiring





car getting the intercooler installed



custom block off plates had to be made
and LIM and UIM painted



old ecu wiring



SS manifold Finished



mounted turbo




Also a custom electric fan shroud made and painted to match the engine

 

Had to make a custom vband flange for the turbo





heat wrapping bought





exhaust heatwrapped

Looks good! I would recomend bigger fuel line. An 8AN should work. Also if able have your intake air routed as to have fresh air from the outside and not from the engine bay.

 

-6 an fuel lines where used


more pix of the actual setup
more goodies to come , new IC and Piping

turbo position , (note : turbo compressor has been painted black ) pictures later

 

Any more updates on this? Interested to see what numbers it's going to put down.

 

+1

 

well the car turned down only 183hp @3psi on the last dyno session because of a broken silicone coupler , didn't find the problem at the dyno so i went home and then after checking all the couplers found 1 of them broke but from the under side so i couldn't see it right away , and this was with an untouched base map , lets hope the new IC &piping setup will do its job when i get it finished

more to come later on

 

great work man. sounds like you have done tons of research and are making all the right steps. keep us posted! im sure i speak for everyone when i say we are all number hungry. haha

 

little picture update
pictures of the new air filter and IC piping

i bought only bends cause i have straight pipes here already

CXracing makes good IC piping and also great service , rene is doing a great job overthere



and the cheapo ebay airfilter

and yes it does fit my H1E great
100mm right on the dot

 

Nice looking build. Props for the fab work and innovation!

GL OP

 

more goodies arrived this week

also installed the new flex SS rad hose for clearance to the turbo ( will buya 12a waterneck in the future )

Turbo blanket



mounted sorry for the dirty engine bay (dusty @ here )



Greddy turbo timer (waiting for harness )



The new (to me ) intercooler

3.5 inch thick (fits beautifully betweet the bumper and rad support no cutting
still needs to be cleaned






mocking up (bit too much to the right in that pic )


time to take the car to the welding shop so they can route the ic piping for me

 

Not yet...
