THE INSTALL PROCESS (DIY COMING SOON AFTER BUILD)

issue #1 I got a bold stuck in my oil pan
<IMG SRC="http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1387/5933973/19641711/319513737.jpg" border="0" alt="Image Hosting by PictureTrail.com">

solution.....I'm going to grind that bolt down to the stem and just slide the oil pan off! any objections or suggestions?

issue #2 the bolts holding the headers to the i think the fame are tight as fuck! <IMG SRC="http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1387/5933973/19641711/319549380.jpg" border="0" alt="Image Hosting by PictureTrail.com">

solution....i sprayed some w40 on it so hopefully tomorrow they will be a lil bit easier to loosen!

issue #3 is the same as #2 but the header bolts are tight as hell to the block! wasn't strong enough to get them loose!

Thanks for staying tuned in for that latest in the rev hard chronicles:mbiggrin:

Pictures pictures of the install =)

[clutch797]

Lets see the pics

[SLOW EP3]

Congrats! Can't wait to see your progress with it. :mcool:

hey until that thing is install dont expect to sleep at night

lol yea you right!

Pics of the kit? Also the intercooler pipes I heard they redesigned them. It would be cool to see a pic before I order them.

[Tnhatch03]

good luck man.

[shadowmd]

awesome pick up man! that kit is NICE! my buddy is makin 324whp and 280wtq on a stock a3 running 12psi with kpro. thing has been running strong and like this for over a year now.

[dustyboner]

one thing you should get before the install is a oil filter sandwich adapter for running the oil feed line. i had 2 brass fittings break off on me. was able to get it out the first time but not the second. so the block was sent to ERL and got fixed.:thumb:

[playap07]

also the kit came with a tial 38mm waste gate and a turbonetics turbo instead of a presision. i have no clue what trim it is but it is a t3/t4 ill post pics up tomorrow of everything.

[dustyboner]

you can get one here (http://www.clubrsx.com/cr/GRE-12002801.html)

its a direct bolt on.

http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa147/dustyboner/si/DSC01669-1.jpg

[playap07]

i got a question that came up today! i have the skunk2 mega power exhaust. not the 70mm one. the question is will will not having the 70mm one be hasardous to my turbo set up! i know i will not get alot of power like i would from a 70mm one but will be be harmfull to my engine is what im asking?

[playap07]

is this a mandatory item or a safty precaution? cause if its mandatory ill order it tomorrow if not ill probably order it in some time june.

[dustyboner]

its a safety issue. well its more like, if it breaks you may not be able to repair it, more than a safety thing. if you can find a steel/SS fitting it should be ok but brass will usually break.

you're fine with the exhaust you have. you just won't spool as quick or make as much power as you would witha bigger-less restrictive exhaust. since your in clovis(no emissions testing) you can eliminate your cat. it'll make a big difference

[jeenyusss]

they switched 2 turbonetics?


anywhoo good luck man boost is addicting!:mtongue:

[dustyboner]

also the kit came with a tial 38mm waste gate and a turbonetics turbo instead of a presision. i have no clue what trim it is but it is a t3/t4 ill post pics up tomorrow of everything.

revhard's website said the turbo was good for 450hp so im pretty sure its a 50trim

[playap07]

alright thanks! ill buy the adapter on wednesday!

[supercivician]

ru going to evan's after you're done? let me know because im planning on going to evan's after i get my k24a1 put in.

[jeenyusss]

try to get an appointment soon, i called for an appointment and they are almost fully booked for june:juggle:




check my revhard DIY, the fitting that would be really good for you to get is like $25 bucks. its one fitting that has 3 outlets (feed line, oil press gauge, stock sending unit). if u dont have a gauge it comes with a fitting to fill the other hole. i got it from tuner toyz, their website is down right now or just not working for me so i cant link u

[civictype_r04]

thats because u tried to use that fitting with the WRONG type of threads, you probably used an npt fitting when the threads are BSPT (British Standard Pipe Thread). If you checked the service manual prior to using the wrong fitting you would have saved yourself time and money. Oversight's a bitch lol. all hondas use bspt on oil sending units.

[SyckSiR]

Dont speak out of your ass. a stainless or steel fitting will not work in that spot, see my above post. As for the exhaust, a 2.5" exhaust is good up to 256hp, anything beyond that and you are restricting the flow. Only prob with a sandwich plate is that you are sending dirty oil (because the oil there hasnt been thro the filter) to the turbo.....kinda a bad design on the sandwich plate ppl's part but w/e....sandwich plates are available anywhere, there are many different brands....some polished, some not........i had to weld mine in spots to ensure proper flow....

you'll free up a bit more power with a 70mm exhaust for sure. anything more than that the gains are negligible. not having a 70mm exhaust wont do any harm, but it would probably blow out your cat.

think of it this way, a turbocharger is a restriction in the exhaust. and since its driven off exhaust gases, ideally you'd want more flow. how much flow is entirely up to the user and its application.

[SLOW EP3]

I had my 2.5" downpipe fitted the stock cat and stock exhaust (1 7/8") and it was fine for months. I imagine prolonged use would melt the catyltic though, so I'd advice ditching that with a straight pipe if you can. Your Skunk2 should be fine.

Wow I didn't even think about the oil being dirty. Forget that.

problem solved


so this product does the same as this one but the top one is less flashy and cheaper?
what are the pros and cons of these? the 20 dollar one has my debit card kind of ichy but the 70 dollar one sounds kind of smarter due to the fact it has a spot to hook up my mechanical oil pressure guage! i need some advice! can the 20 dollar one do the same with out buying some extra shit that will go over the 70 dollar ones price?

thats what i like to hear! i hope so!

hey are there any other things i need? like i didnt know i had to get that adapter is there anything else i should get? i already got the spark plugs coming so that one out of the way.

[jeenyusss]

10w30 oil

http://tunertoys.zoovy.com/product/OTODK/Oil_Take_Off__Dual_Outlet.html (its not manditory but its much better)

i like this:http://www.full-race.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=33_360&osCsid=8f110ac1b1c762cd0d1f5ebcabc7cd52 (also not nessicary, bc the rev hard kit comes with wrap, but its crappy, it frays when you cut it, and you need hose clamps to hold it down. the full race its self adhesive doesnt fray and its an ease to put it. only problem is its $28 for a foot by 2 foot sheet.


ill update when i can think of more

the kit should come with a fitting for the oil feed

[playap07]

the kit should come with a fitting for the oil feed

yea it did but some people said that the one it came withis cheap as hell and it braks and it will be a major problem so just upgrade it! id rather upgrade then deal with the problem later on down the road!

[jeenyusss]

it comes with a fitting to fit the feed line, but does not accomidate if u have a oil press gauge:mconfused:

boost guage, boost controller, Maximum Boost by Corky Bell, EGT guage, some kind of guage pod, fuel rail, rbc manifold. not all are needed but are good ideas......esp the book...learn about what ur gettin into....

[jeenyusss]

stock rail is good 2 300whp

[SyckSiR]

right right! the ones in red ill probably buy later on down the road!:mbiggrin:

the EGT is almost required if u dont have a turbo timer....stands for exhaust gas temprature. you can watch the guage and kno when its safe to turn off ur car. plus i would never instal a turbo without a boost guage of some sorts........you need to kno if ur gonna spike,......i watch my guage religiously...

true that!:msmile:

yea i bought a auto meter boost gauge and oil pressure (both mechanical) already so im good to go on that plus i got a guage pod for it. i found a turbo timer already but im not going to buy it untill june. ill just sit in my car for 30 secs untill it cools down! ill put a posted note on the dash as a reminder! lol ghetto as hell but it works.

[jeenyusss]

hah thats how i do it, one time i ran inside and was gunna come back out. 30 minutes later i realized it was running! at least it cooled down haha :mconfused:

they are not that terrible

hondata

k-pro question: do i send the ecu to rev hard for them to send it off or do i send it to hondata?

i went with the defi blue racer guages....wanted sum blue light in the car...i hate the stock red but i am not gonna go tearin around to put blue led's in there....

Get rid of the mech oil press and get an electric one!


stock rail is good 2 300whp

There are some making 600whp on modified stock rails!

[jeenyusss]

yeah some people are paranoid about running the oil line into the cabin, i dont think its that bad. (i do have electric one though)


and for the fuel rail, im sure it can! I just switched mine out bc i hated how it looked:rant:

[supercivician]

i got the autometer es if that helps. what do you have?

i have autometer gauges, imo they are nice, but yea why did you get the mechanical oil pressure gauge. shoulda went with electrial

[QUOTE=blueshark123;554559]Get rid of the mech oil press and get an electric one!

[Guardian]

Don't cut the head off or you'll have to drill and tap it.

For the bumper you have 4 plastic clips on the rad support 2 screws on the bottom of the bumper and 1 in each wheel well and a few more clips under the bumper. Then you just pop out the sides of the bumper then from the headlights and its off

[Guardian]

Also get a oil pan cutter its a razor blade with a spot you can tap with a hammer. Don't use a screw driver to pry it.

solution.....I'm going to grind that bolt down to the stem and just slide the oil pan off! any objections or suggestions?

issue #2 the bolts holding the headers to the i think the fame are tight as fuck! <IMG SRC="http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1387/5933973/19641711/319549380.jpg" border="0" alt="Image Hosting by PictureTrail.com">

i said it like twice dont grind that bolt off or you will have to tap the block.
they have tools to take off striped bolts

[jeenyusss]

get the fire going:peep:

[grindin gears]

my garage looks the same way right now. im using a k24 though so im swapping as well. iv come to problems myself so this is going slow. and usually with the exhaust i always snap the bolts and buy new ones.

[grindin gears]

and yes get a striped bolt removing kit they are like what 20 bucks at ace. drilling the block is not worth it!!!

[playap07]

i said it like twice dont grind that bolt off or you will have to tap the block.

did you heat wrap before you put the turbo in or after? did you heat wrap evey wire thats back there? what should i heat wrap?

[playap07]

also do you have to relocate the battery??

[bdooley]

i would heat wrap mostly every wire back there cant be too safe. also try using pb blaster or liquid wrench on those header bolts and a breaker bar.

[jeenyusss]

i went crazy wrapping wires, you can never be 2 safe, it gets hot ass hell back there man, go nuts, buy extra if u have 2

[dobbs02si]

Two words..Jet Hot!! Well worth the 300 I spent on the mani/housing/dp of my CN kit..just my 2 cents

[slo_k20]

this makes me want to work on my car so bad! haha good times strippin bolts and what not

[sayayin]

also buy heatwrap for the down pipe that is the best insulator, and your brakes lines too or you will make hole on it because of the heat.

[playap07]

aight will do!

[jeenyusss]

the revhard kit should come with an exhaust wrap to put on the downpipe, at least mine did:yo:

[playap07]

yea mine did too! do i have to move the battery to a different spot?

[playap07]

*update* i got that troublesome bolt off the oil pan and i spayed some w 40 on the outside to loosen some of the honda bond. i also loosened all the bolts except one on the header(ran out of time:mbiggrin:) thats all i did yesterday. not sure if ill work on it today because im going to party but ill keep yal posted! pics will come tomorrow!

wastegate connects like this:

http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n313/jeenyussshonda/IMG_0011-1.jpg


the vaccum line goes from this spot on the turbo:

http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n313/jeenyussshonda/IMG_0020-2.jpg

and connects to the waste gate with a "t" one going to the top of the wastegate one going to the side



BOV-

hooks up form the vaccum spot on the BOV to this spot on the intake manifold

http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n313/jeenyussshonda/11111111111111.jpg


and on that line going from the line on the intake manifold is always where you are going to "t" for your mechnical boost gauge:

why is there a "T" on the wastegate?

[stepintoliquid]

why is there a "T" on the wastegate?

you dont really need to tee both ports off the wastegate, just use the bottom port, and lave the top open.


i used the brake booster line as my bov source, and tapped into that line for the boost gauge.

you don't need to hook up anything to it.

its usually used in higher boost set-ups to help overcome the high (BOV)spring tension

• The vacuum sensing line (top port) may be connected to any convenient intake manifold pressure source (suggested connection location is on the intake manifold plenum, since runner locations may cause pulsing, which may affect control stability).


• The boost sensing line (bottom port) may be connected to any convenient source between the turbocharger compressor discharge and throttle plate (location isn’t critical). Since most of the valve motion in controlled by intake manifold vacuum, the valve will operate without this sensing line, but will have quicker response with it connected. Suggest using a small “filter” fitting, if not used for sensing.
IMPORTANT: Do not plug this hole, it needs to be able to breath.

[The S]

why would you leave the top open.....it must do something

[dustyboner]

why would you leave the top open.....it must do something

on the BOV the top port is connected, the bottom port doesn't need to be.


on the wastegate the bottom port is connected and the top one isn't used

whoa, is that for your oil feed? you need to be careful with setups that extend out of the block that far. similar ones have snapped in half under vibrations and bumps.

Pretty cool stuff, good luck with install but it doesn't look like you'll need it. Your almost done.:meek:

good job with the heatwrap its a pain but thats how it goes. one of the most important wires to wrap is the one i drew around, because the turbo sits right against it, and even with wrapping it, it burnt threw the wrap and got to the plastic loom on mine. once i saw that i wrapped it 4 layers deep :meek:







also :

http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n313/jeenyussshonda/AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAApaint.jpg


that looks like the tuner toys 3 port thing am i correct? if so then why is nothing in slot 1 that i labeled?


it should go:

slot 1- oil pressure gauge fitting
slot 2- stock oil pressure gauge
slot 3- fitting for feed line

or something to that affect so its not so long, i cant tell what that gold thing is that is making it so long


thats the beauty of the tuner toys 3 port thing, its a small fitting but lets you use all 3 things u have

[playap07]

aight cool!:mbiggrin: i was going off a pic i found! thanks for the info ill fix that! when i wake up later today im going shoppin and get more clamps, heat wrap, honda bond, and my oil pan welded! i hope to be driving the car by tonight!:mwink:

[MR.Pizza]

Looks good, might want to attach the hoses to the wastegate before you install. It's alot easier that way. If you can also, thread in your oil drain fitting too when you clock the turbo since you may have to move it to gain wrench access for the fitting. Looks good.

[Guardian]

ima fuckin dumby damn!..............ummmm i dont know if im going to wet it...if its mandatory yea if not .....fuck it! it looks like crap huh?

you dont wet the heat tape only header wrap. and the brake lines are on the left side with the metal lines coming off the box going behind the engine

issue #1 yes you need to take those studs out and put in the longer ones. take 2 nuts and thread them on the studs, then tighten them against each other. then use the bottom nut to back out the stud. the new one you should just be able to hand tighten them in. if they dont go in nice do the same thing to put them in but use the top nut to tighten.

issue#2 that doesnt sound right, you sure you know what your doing?

issue #3 no, the vac line should go on the bottom of the wg. and take out some of that slack, it doesnt need to be that long

[Guardian]

this is the longest install for something that should take a day and a half, if that.

will do though thanks for the info!

[Guardian]

I doubt you need to grind the manifold put those 2 nuts on first. Don't push the mani all the way on to the head get it so you can start to thread them and keep it so when you tighten them it pulls the mani closer. And alternate between the nuts

no the bolt really doesnt fit into the mani! a piece of the mami is blocking it from fully entering the hole for it. its like that on both sides! the bottom 3 fit perfectly but the top 2 are stubborn fuckers!

[Guardian]

Wait so your trying to put bolts through the top 2 holes?

[Guardian]

They should be studs with nuts

[Silverstreak]

Plus one on the mani. There should be studs there. Check and see if the studs came out with the nuts. It might look like a bolt. I had to unscrew the fuel rail stud a little to be able to get a nut to thread on. You can use the double nut technique. Take the two nuts from the studs and tighten them together on top of the stud. Then you will be able to use the nuts to loosen the stud like a bolt. Just do enough to be able to thread a nut on top.

[jeenyusss]

the ol' double thread thingy ma bober. doug (talonracer) showed me that when he installed the rbc with me watching

[Silverstreak]

With that mani it is hard to even get the nut on the stud. I dont think you will be able to get a bolt in there without grinding it down. I would not go that route though. Just put a stud back in there and do it right.

[playap07]

I had a hard time with the stud on the left side looking down from the valve cover is that the same as you?

fuck yea! thats the mutha fucka that had me pissed last night!

[Silverstreak]

If you use a stud it will be a little easier. Get the stud in tight but not to tight. Then when you go to put the mani on, as soon as the stud starts to poke through the hole, start to put the nut on. So hold the nut on the back of the hole before the stud starts to poke out as soon as it makes contact with the nut start to thread it. Once its on there a good way you should be clear of the mani to tighten the nut in the sequence that it should be done from inside out.

[Silverstreak]

But if you really want to use a bolt you can just grind one corner off of the bolt and see if that clears the mani. It just might.

oooooooooooo okay! got ya! ill do that method then! it seem like an effective method right! i like that a lil better than grinding my mani! ill check out aces hardware tomorrow and see if they got any studs the same as the stock bolt! thanks ooooo also what spark plugs were you using? a question came up about the stock rsx plugs

[Silverstreak]

I use the bkr8eix. Let me go and check that....yeah thats right

are we talking intake manifold or turbo manifold?

so is that it? all done?

well fellas! tomorrow is that day! all i have to do is put back on the head and bolt on the exhaust and put oil in and hopefully i wont blow my beautiful baby!

ill let yal know the only thing wrong with my set up, i can tell you now is.............i got one bolt that will not seem to go in the exhaust manifold (driver side bottom manifold bolt). me and my friends all tried but it didnt work! my friend said everthing should go good if not all i will have is an exhaust leak nothing biggy!:mrolleyes: (hope not but hope it aint nothin serious)

alright so let the games begin! ill video tape the first start up for yal! so if anything happens you can see what it did!

o also can some one tell me how to prime the turbo and how to really see if its getting oil. i dont want to starve it.

o im a lil bit concerned with that open hose! wont it suck in dirt or anything??? guardian you sure.............isnt that a leak or something? im just being causious! umm what else.....i dont know o please feel free to let me know any important information so i can double check it to make sure im good to go! thanks for everyones help i appricaite it!

[supercivician]

Good luck

you take the 15a fuse out under the hood labeled ECU. but oil in, and with the fuse out try to "start the car" and keep it turned over for 15 seconds, this will pump oil threw the whole thingy

[Guardian]

a exhaust leak before the turbo is a big deal! it will fuck up any kal. you run with it and make it near imposable to tune. i hope you didnt strip out the head.

yes, you def need to get that bolt in... especially one that is at the end. did you try loosening all the bolts and taking pressure off the manifold while trying to get the bolt in? whats the problem? you just cant seem to get it to thread?

and as for the hose, leave it be... iv had mine open to nothing for 18 months

[tallblondkid]

but i also told you not to run any intercooler piping for weight reduction and you did it anyways. dumb noob

no, i took the piping off now, so i should be faster now since its lighter... i was thinking about getting a wastegate on my cai tho, so i can turn up the boost

[Guardian]

the wastegate replaces the filter
you already have the BOV on the CAI right?

a exhaust leak before the turbo is a big deal! it will fuck up any kal. you run with it and make it near imposable to tune. i hope you didnt strip out the head.

no its not strip i just think its off centered

alright ill try to loosen it up but the top 2 bolts are some bithces to get loose

[playap07]

im bout to go work on it! ill keep yal posted

[jeenyusss]

:clap2:

[tallblondkid]

try and relieve the weight on the manifold when taking the bolts in and out... that heavy turbo can cause the bolts to strip

[playap07]

ah...it aint work! cant get those bolts out! fuck it.....:mfrown:i know its a bad atittude but ill fix it before i get a tune....

[playap07]

as long as it can drive back and forth to pic up some supplyies! im going to vegas on wednesday so i got to get some shit! :mbiggrin:

[Guardian]

ah...it aint work! cant get those bolts out! fuck it.....:mfrown:i know its a bad atittude but ill fix it before i get a tune....

heres the problems! (i dont mean heat i mean smoke lol i was excited and couldnt talk:mrolleyes:)

[jeenyusss]

i cant tell what those gauges are but anywhoo

normal vaccum when the car is warmed up at idle is 20 and oil pressure is at 30 or something i think and when your accelerating ( or reving the car) it will go to like 70-80 psi

as for that thing, yeah it sucks in air at idle , i think its the idle air control or something? who knows, but everyone says to leave it open and i haved done so fro a while, no problems


also i dont see any smoke ill try watching video again










edit: i do see a little smoke but no way i can tell from here what it is, ill juts assume oil. is everything tight on the feedline? return line?

[playap07]

oil pressure problem corrected!

img going to put everthing together and try a lil street run to see where its at

[jeenyusss]

so where are the extensive amount of pics and videos you promised:humble:

[playap07]

aight everyone heres tonights wrap up! the build is complete bit with some problems!

problem number 1 i checked kpro and im only putting down 4.5psi so tomorrow i have to check piping. what else do i have to check?

problem number 2 my 1 3 and 5 gears dont work. found the problem though! the bov piping is blocking the change of gears so i have to move it over a lil!

problem number 3 the bov is not going off! maybe because im at 4.5 pss but who knows!

im going to check everything out tomorrow! i will also make videos and take pics.

well im off to the club tonight to try and pull some bitches and get ma dick suck:mbiggrin: thanks for all the help yal gave me! ill give shout outs next time. im in a rush my friends are impatient! take it easy

[chad jones]

Hope you enjoy that boost!

the IC pipping blocking the gears happened to me, easy fix!

what spring are you running in the wastegate? and do you have a MBC?

the gear problem is easy.

for the bov, try loosening it up, the greddy type-s is adjustable... and try taking it off and making sure the valve opens with your hand, you should be able to push it a little.

good luck with the bitches

[v1c10us]

im sure someone posted it already, but the.6 bar on the wastegate mans it has a 8.7 psi spring, so once you build 8.7 psi it starts letting gas out so you dont over boost.
this also answers the above posts question.
its an 8.7 psi spring, or .6 bar.
also also, the exhaust manifold not being on completely may be giving you an exhaust leak, so you cant build full boost, maybe.

i thought about that but i hope thats not the problem! well see tomorrow. my friend has a 240 sx with a sr20det he has a bolt missing from his mani but he still builds boost. i know its two diff cars but i hope thats not the case! please be piping!

[playap07]

o and i didnt get no bitches! i danced with some bad bitches but i didnt get no head:mbiggrin: o well! im drunk sleepy time!

[jeenyusss]

:second:

[playap07]

fixed my gear problem! and i installed some foglight! thanks e moo! but for some reason my bov does not sound off! what the fuck!

[jeenyusss]

what rpm are u shifting at ?

[playap07]

what rpm are u shifting at ?

7000 when im in boost when not i shift at 3000

[tallblondkid]

have you tried adjusting it and loosening the valve?

[playap07]

have you tried adjusting it and loosening the valve?

yup! well my friend did it for me but it still didnt go off! i checked kpro and my map sensor says im puttin down 4.6 psi and my boost gauge says 6 psi??? what the fuck?

[playap07]

o also how can i find out if i have an exhaust leak? im thinking i might have one....hopefully not but...uhhhhhhhh:mcry:

[tallblondkid]

yup! well my friend did it for me but it still didnt go off! i checked kpro and my map sensor says im puttin down 4.6 psi and my boost gauge says 6 psi??? what the fuck?

can you give detailed explanation on how you ran your vacuum lines?

[tallblondkid]

o also how can i find out if i have an exhaust leak? im thinking i might have one....hopefully not but...uhhhhhhhh:mcry:

why do you think you have one? an easy way to do it, get a rubber fuel line with like a 1/4" hole and with one end at your ear, put the other end against any area that you may think the leak is.

[playap07]

can you give detailed explanation on how you ran your vacuum lines?

i got pics here!

http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/mm183/playap07/DSC05429.jpgthis is how the bov is hooked up


i corrected the wastegate line its on the top instead of the bottom

i think i have one because there is one bolt i could not get into the manifold...my dumb ass bolted each one instead of doing it all at the same time

[playap07]

heres a video! no bov at all! what the fuck!.....guess i can tell people im all motor:mbiggrin:

[tallblondkid]

the wastegate line is supposed to be on the side, for one, not the top... that actually should create it to stay closed, so id move that.

and as for the exhaust leak, do as i said, get a rubber hose and with one end at your ear, put the other other around that side of the manifold at idle, if you have any sort of leak there(which im sure you will) you will know it

and i cant really tell where the lines for the bov are going, it looks like one is going to the manifold, but has a line T'd off? and where does the other line go?

yea the waste gate line is at the side nipple! i meant top as in the way it sits in the car!

ill check for that exhaust leak! i bet thats ma problem! ima get an exhaust shop to fix that shit im hella lazy now!

[playap07]

bov is hooked up like this

where is your boost gauge getting vacuum? and do you have a manual boost controller?

and i have never seen vacuum tapped from that place. Are you sure its a good source? im not saying its not, i just dont know

just a boost guage! no manual boost controler. my friend has one hes not using though i could use that!

[playap07]

thats where most people put it i guess! i got advice to put it there!

[tallblondkid]

ok, but where is your boost gauge getting its vacuum from?

and did you try taking off the bov and pushing in the valve manually to make sure it works?

[Guardian]

that vac line is fine, looks ugly though...

but i think i can hear the bov in the video, my wife sleeping so its quiet but when i get home from work ill play it loud and see.

[Guardian]

make a vid in full boost then let off.

[jeenyusss]

hey guardian be gentle that was the only vaccum line i could find at the time haha i know its terrible i cahnged it (including the bov) :msmile:





and that is not turbo fluttering, that it the free99 BOV revhard gives u that sounds like a turkey

lol i used that at first, then had like 100 T's coming off my brake booster line, then got a vac block haha


and that is not surge my man thats your BOV

yeah my engine bay was pretty bad looking at the beginging

i dont have that installed! i got some other shit my boy was going to use on his 240 but said fuck it and he gave it to me!

o and your engine bay looks nice! i like that filter you got there!


lol i used that at first, then had like 100 T's coming off my brake booster line, then got a vac block haha


and that is not surge my man thats your BOV

humm if that is my bov then its weak as fuck! guess its cause im low boostin! im taking apart my mani and bolt it back on there the right way! fuck!

i told you with that leak you will

you were right! i was wrong!:mbiggrin: lol you think when i fix that leak it will clear up? also if i take the mami off do i have to prime the turbo agian?

lol it should help, its still a base tune, it wont be perfect.

and if you take off the oil lines i would prime it

[playap07]

alright! im not going to take off the oil line im just going to loosen all the bolts pull the mani out a lil, slip the missing bolt in and then tighten them all together! i cant even hear my skunk2 exhaust any more is all engine noise with some gargle. booooo

there is def a leak there. Did you try and get the bolt in there yet?

honestly this is the longest turbo install ive ever seen. looks good though!

ahaha yup! it would have been sooner but i kept getting sent places (air force shit i go where the planes go) plus im not a mechanic so i had to take my time! didnt want to fuck shit up but i did anyway. nothing big i hope though! as soon as i fix the turbo ill end this tread and start a revhard chronicles thread:mbiggrin:you might as well make 1 too!

[stepintoliquid]

omgosh dude, did you not do any research at all before you began this install? :mrolleyes:

I DIDNT WANT TO TAKE OFF MY MANIFOLD AND PUT THAT BOLT IN THAT WOUNDNT FIt! that is the only reason my car is acting dumb! THUS I HAVE AN EXHAUST LEAK WHICH IS NOT CAUSING THE TURBO TO FULLY BOOST UP TO 10 PSI! im going to fix it so its no biggy! we all make mistake just learn from it! MY ADVICE TO EVERYONE IS DONT TRY AND CUT CORNERS:mbiggrin:

[tallblondkid]

DONT TRY AND CUT CORNERS:mbiggrin:

i think i said that like 3 times in my boost compendium post

[jeenyusss]

:typing:

[illusionsoflife]

is this car going yet?

[playap07]

is this car going yet?

yea the cars going i just got an exhaust leak. i got to take the mani off and put it back on right. thats the only problem thought! simple fix!

do it and post another vid!

do it and post another vid!

alright

i just did a rev hard install, well i still have to install gauges turbo timer and EBC, but this manifold is a PITA. i dont think rev hard did to much R&D on it. and the kit was used and who ever had it didnt even use nuts or bolts on the top wtf, i would like to know who owned it.

huh! they would have been mani leaking like a mutha fucka! my engine is annonyin with the dumb ass leak noise it makes, whats PITA mean? where do you hook up your gauges so it will come on when you turn on your lights?

hyonkiyoo was the seller if you want to ask him

:mcool: thanks again dude

[03ep3 stapel]

that kit looks pretty good

[playap07]

alright heres the deal! i put the bolt back in where it was missing from the manifold and tightned down everthing. the car is running better than it was at first. the engine light doesnt come on anymore to warn me that im running lean...............but:mrolleyes: im still runnin 6psi and my bov doesnt function. i showed my car to a fellow turner and he listened to my engine and said i definately got mani leak. i dont know when ima fix this problem but i know its not going to be soon. plus ma dumb ass is weak i tighted all them bolts to the blink of shreadding my mucles! im thinkin about dropping it at a shop and let them bolt that shit on! i dont know yet! but everything else is on fucking point with this kit!

i love this kit! i raced around all day today! merked on a couple mustangs and a type s along with some other wack ass ricers. i kept up with a modified s2000 and a turboed rx-7! i had compressor surge but i dont thinks its dangerous enough to fuck up anything. other than that i love my si! i could do this all day with her:gheyf: hahaha but yup end ranting!

[Guardian]

lol makavelibranded car is already done, tuned and boosting 10psi

[jeenyusss]

please dont say "merked" lol
