Out of curiosity where did you get the manifold from?

Summit racing


Looks like I was shipped the wrong turbo. Should have the new turbo next week and I will post more pics.

Do you have any better pictures? I am still wondering if this is like the ebay manifold.

BTW, great project! Look forward to the finished product.

:eek: thanks dude ..

Also found a turbonetics turbo kit !
 
Wideband

For the money, you can't beat a wideband setup for ultimate insurance. I landed my sensor and controller (Innovate LC-1) for $180 in the box. It really is the only way to know for sure what's going on in the AFR department. Get that wrong and it could be an expensive mistake.;)

Nice project.
 
one comment, if you are planning to put a BOV on the system it needs to be plumbed in post turbo pre throttle body and circulate back pre turbo post MAF. With the MAF attached directly to the turbo that won't be possible.
 
The MAF will not be mounted like that. Does anyone have pictures of the turbo-Air cleaner plumbing. I will also use a BOV.

I am going to put the WBO2 in on Friday as long as I get off work in time.

My plan is to put the truck on the dyno and get some 1/4 mile track times. The truck will still feel slow to me, I am use to driving 600hp cars.

Landtank, that is your maf in the picture.

check both build threads by Dusty and MSGGrunt. It's tight quarters with that manifold and plumbing the intake from the filter to the turbo.

Dusty started off with a home built manifold and later on used one like yours so that plumbing is near the end of the thread.

AFR should be around 10.8 at WOT. Looking forward to the dyno runs.
 
Well, I think those flexible tubes are crap. Didn't have any personal experience but everyone who used them on passenger cars complained about short lifespan. I think it's beter to mount the exhaust on something elastic (like the factory does) rather than using such extensions
 
how are you gona get around the smog test in CA, mmm that GT35 would do wonders in my subi wagon
 
Why aren't you guys using this to help eliminate the exhaust flex from the motor torquing? Summit SUM-642510 - Summit Flex Joint Pipes - summitracing.com

I agree. I use one.

In my experience they hold up well. if not one of these how would you control torque-especially off road?

Beware. in my experience using the oe filter runs hotter than the k&N did. i need to shield the oe box as it sist so close to the turbo

The truck will still pass the tail pipe test. I have left all smog items on the car. I know alot of shops that will pass the visual as long as it passes the tail pipe test.
 
I need to get this truck done this week so I can finish my ls3 RX7. I only have exhaust left on the rx7.

Holy Massive Intake batman!!!!!!!!!! What kind of numbers do you expect that puppy to push out?!

about the flexible exhaust joint, i am really thinking that when i do upgrade my exhaust i will use one. I feel that this is the main reason i have such a hard time with exhaust mounts breaking and my exhaust rattling. I will get it re-welded to the hangers and eventually it will break loose near the front of the exhaust. I may have some worn motor mounts that allows the motor to torque more than it should, but i also imagine that if i had one of those flex pipes on, it would stay intact a lot more.
