Oo Oh!

RATS!!! wrong turbo .60A/R wtf MVPmotorsports

(4/15/11)

OH oh ....WTF wrong turbo again! billet 6765E is not a 6765HP ... 

SO I finally get the correct turbo and its too big for the manifold seen here

and here

two .5" spacers later the compressor housing now fits

This did give me a chance to mock everything of course the 4" dp/mp has to be extended a bit and vband wg flange welded done by Primetime here in Greensboro,NC they are very reasonable and I've heard good things so hopefully when those things are back I can measure out feed and return line

Got the manifold in today Prime Time Race Cars did an awesome job and they are very reasonable if your local and need some work done, they are now working on the exhaust hope I measured right

The welds

All the Prime Time Race car welds before I paint & titanium wrap them.

Now everything fits, just have to head down to Alliance hose and fittings to do the feed and return line , then put it together and tow it to Prime Time for the turbo side intercooler pipe, Start it try to tune it enough to get to the dyno or just tow it ... IT'LL BE JUNE! ... I hope

VHT coated, seeing how well it cures in the sun,we will see. This wasnt for looks as it will be heat wraped just an extra step against rust and heat

Definitely finish off that wrap with the high temp spray coating. I did the same process on my bike and it made a huge difference. If you ever take the heat wrap off though, you will find that the VHT paint will most likely have come off the pipe.

Not sure how well I did it but I only had 50ft, figured the vht would come off especially with as little as I put on, but moving on ... here it is with my matching turbo shield next I'll seal it with some of that spray as soon as I get some.

Update only things left to do are fuel line, put intake manifold back on, figure out stock o2 sensor bung(stud hole is positioned incorrectly), Exhaust side IC piping, Tial BOV install, and aem tru boost or other gauge type controller + AEM FIC,

This was at the job site with the hood up as if the driver was going to work on it, I noticed the compound turbo setup and snapped a quick pic with my phone. (Freightliner)

Fuel system installed and intake back on, all that is left is to tighten everything and have the turbo side IC piping done and bov welded. PLEASE ANY START UP TIPS LET ME KNOW,haven't turned the key in so long that I'm kinda afraid lol, but the day is coming, this is how I left it tonight ....

Searching now, but whats the best way to remove these things in order to tap the holes and plug them so they are out the way?

Well after searching I concluded that the easiest way was to apply heat and yank them out NO DRILLING necessary, then tap the hole with a 1/8 npt tap and find some plugs I'd use some teflon tape to make sure of a complete seal ... So, this is what i used .. (pics)

Heat it up, one guy said he used a torch but this lighter did the trick, make sure its good and hot holding close to the water neck itself,(I think I heard the sealant sizzle inside that means its ready) hurry put the vice grips on good and securely and tap/gently massage it on out of there 

Viola!

Then tap it slips in a bit of the way but it will begin to thread 

Then put some hex 1/8 npt plugs in, that sit flush, then bam an example of the clearance haven't went to get the caps

Now I just gotta make that stack red

What I did over the 4th of July

Nice and clear thanks to Jermaine and Steven for the help

Just a quick Update: for my power goals street 550+ race730+ may never be SEEN on the dyno through the 4l80e

Decided against the a340e transmission or having it built and decided to have a 4l80e built and using a ATF sfi approved flywheel and block adapter for the th400. Though it says th400, both the transmissions go behind some of the same power plants so I figured it would work, emailed ATF just in case they said yes it would work. 

found my 4l80e for $160 (lucky, but thats how much there worth there GM and in everything *exaggerating but not rare* 

4l80e built ($150 labor)

mild rebuild kit (tci kit $296 +34element sprag $79) http://www.summitracing.com/parts/TRG-4L80E-3/

some say a 800hp limit with a full manual shift kit alone, but I'll have that as well (transgo 4l80e-3 $232.95).

ATF install kit /flywheel&block adp. $900 +$69s/h http://www.atfspeed.com/store/index....&cPath=120_131

Arp 6spd Flywheel bolts $45 

Quicksilver shifter w/linkage $189.95 http://www.summitracing.com/parts/BMM-80683/

revmax 850hp tc $760

Lokar dipstick $77 

energy suspension transmission mount $28, http://www.amazon.com/Energy-Suspens.../dp/B000CNAXDO

new chromoly driveshaft (www.accubiltonline.com) $355.52+$55s/h approx:40 5/8" from trans seal to rearend 3bolt flange
(My dads old 7sec nova had their drive shaft on it, never failed!)

Diff Adapter 3-Bolt to 4-Bolt $169.41 http://store.driftmotion.com/static/...termk4gssc.php

misc s/h+$26. 

Total not including install $3594 approx. Still under SP's $7500 kit that is not sfi approved fwiw

Update/edit: So I ditched the AEM FIC (made 520hp then limp mode) would have worked had I had a speed signal and a manual ecu would have been a plus, because as the stock ecu pulls timing for shift points the FIC was limited in this area of tuning so a Haltec PS2000 PnP ecu was installed (Car then made 558.1hp 537tq). As for a speedo ...... I have an app for that .. LOL .. at least for the time being, car (Ok ok and guns) broke me so maybe more electronics later .

Time for some ET Streets!

Gap filling pictures

HDi intercooler fit snug 2-3" sections were added to loosen things up, the passenger side was made from 3" piping sold separately.

Still needs paint, DR's, Susp., I'm sure I'm missing something else. The car is currently down because I had 2 cracked (stock cast) pistons.

Me'n'Dad

*Update* Car is back under the knife after cracking two pistons (where the rings are held). Lucky me no head damage or cylinder wall damage occurred. (Majestics tune cough heard they've since got a new tuner.)

UPDATE: Ever since driving it to MD from NC stock bottom end and cracking two pistons its been there ever since.

Thanksgiving: Went back to MD/DE and picked up the 2jz from Drummond Race Cars then did all I could before the festivities, all thats left are PS and AC. 

MOre PhotOs 

Before paint (Rustoleum Hammered Black)

After

Almost time for a race fuel tune

I do have seat covers

NEW numbers coming soon! Here are the old numbers with "unsafe" tune. Next pic should be of a c16 tune! 558/537

Years later ... still needs fine tuning... pulls pretty strong though ... time slips will do the talking

Photo update

15x10 with 7.5bs Roll fenders (pictured with unneeded 3/8" spacer it will cut your tire ... ask me how I know)

I did grind these down just to sleep easier 

Tire size is a 275 wheels 15x10 7.5 BS

Car still needs tuning with two step I plan to take it to Sean Ivey/iveytune.com or pfsupercars.com during the off season ... Quickest pass was a 12.xx@120mph when I did get some seat time in. (as of Jan. 2014)
