Spending the first part of christmas eve still at work then some last minute 4 am shopping before bed. Coulda had 9 days off for the holidays but prolly gonna work 3 days. That double time is addictive. These 60-70 hour weeks lately are really speeding up the build. Looks like I may make it to the dyno before the end of janurary. Merry christmas everyone!

hey do you have to run a half radiator in a dc chassis for boost? or is there enough room with stock rad and fan? Also if im planning on using boost by gear it essentially makes the ecu the boost controller right? It uses a solenoid to controll PSI correct? So if i had a 38 mm tial with 10psi spring that would be my minimum or maximum? I understand that with a manual boost controller its the max. Thought i read it was the other way around with electronic control, in this case being my tuneing software right.

alright, i still have a persistent oil leak which is driving me crazy. added the .065 oil restrictor which cut it down a lot. i'm wondering if it's the return line. i'm kinda a lost right now.

on a side note. my first road trip in almost year and it snows

allmotorek8

I'm running a full size radiator in my teg with a/c and p/s with a drag manifold..

iTrader: (2)

oil leak leaving puddles on the ground? how big? do you have a genral area its falling from, i know on my return line it leaks about a quater sized spot because i need to put the paper gasket on the return hose at the bottom turbo. wear each surface meets im to lazy to do it and the car is parked untill march lol, Yes i see ur from NC wear did u road trip to? we are gettin hammerd in NY with snow right now **** SUCKS!!!

BLU CIVIC

It's about a quater size under the down pipe and on the drivers side of the oil pan. i need to just take the retun line off and inspect everything. but it sucks not having a garage.

i went down to SC, about 30 minutes from Myrtle Beach. didn't believe them when they said it would snow...guess i was wrong

iTrader: (2)

Holy**** snow in SC?? and by the beach omg, it was so hott when i went thier in june!!!!

Yeah man i feel ur pain i have no garage myself, just keep checkin ur oil untill u find time, i also put a pizza box down or clean card board some times to check for leaks ect. If your using a rubber hose for the return like heater hose i bet thats it they are a pain to get sealed a 100% gl man post when u fix it!!!

You can run a full sized radiator in a dc with turbo but it pretty much limits you to a cast logger. Any other manifold will require a half core.

Snowing like a bitch here in CT. Im not looking forward to plowing and shoveling all night and all day tomorrow BUT the additional 900-1400 in my paycheck in a few weeks will be worth it.

BLU CIVIC

yeah, believe it or not went down to the beach on saturday and i had to take my jacket off b/c it was so warm...then the temp drops and it snows

i have -10an line, but the routing may be bad. i just started using the cardboard box to trace the leaks. i'll get it figured out...even if i have to pay someone lol

Synapse Turbo ( sponsor on these forums) makes a mini ramhorn that will fit with a full size radiator. You will just need some slim fans. Also, might need to pull the A/C out ( mines was a/c, p/s, and Full core radiator support). Well.. I had to pull the A/c out, wouldn't fit with the fans.

If somethign is a/c compatable then its a/c compatable. Dont say it is then say it isnt lol. Your confusing the OP. Basically yes a miniram made properly can work with a/c and p/s but usually have boost control issues, not all but some do cause of the collector being to short. You can also run a tubular log but there junk, better off with a cast log.. Personally i would run a good cast log over the miniram, its more cost effective and will make same power and contreol boost better. IMO.

Or just run a tubular unit and go to a half core and be just fine if done properly and use a good radiator

Gotta love a dodge! In the middle of plowing in this damn blizzard and the gear selector cable snaps right off inside the dash. FML !!! And they dont have a shifter cable, gonna take four days to get one, no one has a cable in CT. WTF !!!!!!! now i get to plow with a 2 wheel drive 85 toyota pickup with a tiny blade and snow tires, GREAT !!!

I'd let you borrow the land cruiser, but i need new tires

well i got a twisted ram which i just figured out last night im going to have to cut and reweld the turbo flange and wastegate flange to get to work. got a spare block and head so i did a lil mock up last night and its pretty tight to block. hard to say cause im eyeballing it without haveing removed the web thats in the way but it still seems too tight. think i might can keep a/c once i get it situated right. prolly gonna pick up this used half core tomorrow.

Dude I have a full size radiator with a/c and power steering.. These were the only pics I could find but you get the idea...

And Yes I know , get the Valve cover painted. I am once I finish the little things that bother me.. Not really worried about that and who you know got the ashy Valve cover look lmaooo.. Loving how my garret rebuilt t3/t4 62-1 freshly rebuilt pulls.. Pretty much the same as the sc62-1 ..

yeah alot easier with the lil manifolds. lil half sized koyo should give me more wiggle room. i don't think im going to be able to use the 3" DP i picked up and keep ac though. don't even think a 2.5" would make it. gonna suck in the hot humid carolina summer but oh well.

quick question on mounting the turbo. does it matter which direction you mount it or is it just dependant on what you want to do. i can get away with only having to extend the WG flange on the manifold if i mount it hotside towards tranny. didn't want to though cause i know i can't keep ac that way. but after looking at the mockup a lil better and realizing i can't keep ac either way i may just go that route. Do you guys run filters on the turbo?
