nice drew, now u just have to overcome the ses codes so you can do th tranny swap lol

[bmore303]

So many different people making progress on Turbo projects. Man I'm itching to start picking up parts now :mrgreen: .

[kolio]

looking good man. cain't wait to see it installed

as soon as i finish my other project my build begins :twisted:

[underated]

hey drew i got an intercooler with those exact dimensions i'll sell it to you for cheaper then those ebay auctions its bar and plate also hit me up its brand new

its just taking up room since im doing my all motor build now

Nice setup Drew!

When/If you need welding, fabricating, or someone to throw stuff at, I'm here. Although this is not going to take a few hours to install! :lol:

When are you looking into installing this?

[run1206]

When are you looking into installing this?
i was thinking maybe mid or late November, or whenever i get all the parts for the install (whichever comes first). I originally was thinking of installing in early January (in between semesters, so i don't have to worry too much about "down time"), but i figure if i have all the parts early enough, why not install sooner :wink:
if you could help me with welding/ fabricating the DP, midpipe, IC, etc... that would be greatly appreciated!!!!:D cuz that's the one part i might get stuck on after getting all the parts.
i kinda figure this isn't gonna be a 6 hour project either :lol: how long did it take for your installation?
i called your cell today, wanted to drop by to see if we could get the fuel pump in, but i guess you were busy at work or out someplace.



nice drew, now u just have to overcome the ses codes so you can do th tranny swap lol

:cry: :cry: i know, damn Jersey and its inspections :evil:
but you're right, i gotta figure out which ECU and what code patterns will overcome the SES light problem. :?

after the turbo install, i'll be saving money for a (possible) tranny swap as well.

[run1206]

i've been searching eBay for intercooler piping and found only these few sites

trying to find kits that don't have many 90degree bands, don't wanna lose power and i'll be willing to do modifications to the bends to optimize air flow

any thoughts on these? :?

btw, intercooler should be at my house tomorrow afternoon, planning on getting some new axles in New York on Friday and (hopefully) installing the fuel pump on Sunday afternoon. (mtcavity, will you be available on Sunday; wanted to see if we could get the fuel pump installed, let me know, thanks) any other updates, i'll let you all know. thanks :D

[seth98esT]

The first one looks most "universal". I just got some mandrel bends off eBay. I used two 45* bends and 4 90* bends, along with 2 straight pipes.

Something like this:

U-bends are cool. I just cut mine to length and used couplers. Although the best way to do it would be to weld everything so you only have two pipes, an upper and a lower ic pipe.

[run1206]

damn, Australia????? lol

i'm liking the second set. i gotta get in touch with a welder and see if he/she could do the piping for the intercooler, might look into the second set and weld that as the upper/ lower IC piping. i think mtcavity welded some of his piping for his turbo, might ask him about it later

[qnz]

the 2nd set seth posted is good for your car

[mtcavity1]

Sunday after 3:00 PM, I'm free. I got most of my piping in from NAPA, mandrel bends of any size and bend radius.

I have been getting my ass handed to me, by my job. I am also building a new File Server and am having issues with my RAID array rebuilding itself on the new dual processor server. I loose my 62 Gigs of musical favorites and like 300 movies (out of the like 1500 I have in total). :cry:

That would mean 2-3 weeks of going through like 3000 DVDs and CDs and rebuilding the base again.

[Stewi]

I dont know how much help I would be but im getting pretty good with a MIG welder, like if you were to fit the pipes, cut them to size and just mark them so that they can be lined up and welded, I could do it. Although If I were you, I would do that, and then bring it to a shop and pay a professional $250 to do it PERFECT. I will be honest with you, I dont even weld my own stuff yet, I can do it, but it doesnt always look great.

[GOOSEY2099]

Good start man! Let me know if i can help

[Eclipse97526]

Damn. Thats nice. Well all i have is the 2g mani =\ and a side mount intercooler. But hey, it is a start. Ill get there. But im seriously considering keeping the auto. My friends talons turbo is so nice on the auto, it blows off, But you can still hear it all wound up, and the turbo just never looses power. Dont have that lag that my evo 8 had. only problem, is it would cost me about 4 grand to built the auto tranny i would wanna use. with limited slip diff and all the goodies. ( Custom built torque converter and Stainless steel gear mechanisims ) Anyone know about what it costs to rebuild a manual tranny ? My friend only does Auto's and wont touch a manual. But he can build one hell of a auto tranny,That is basicly locked in, so you can only shift it manualy. he told me thats the way to go for real racing

i'm thinking that i might have it done professionally, not quite sure.


Good start man! Let me know if i can help
thank you!! do you know any places in the NY/NJ area that might be able to do custom downpipes (or maybe i'd have to go to a welding shop to get it done)? i think that's the one component that i have yet to get.

a start's a start. just make sure you get all the parts/tools well in advance to the actual install. and save up for good parts too, so you don't have to pay for repairs later on. If you ever need help with transmissions, you can ask GOOSEY2099, he's more familiar with transmissions than i am.

UPDATE: just picked up my FMIC from home, though mom needed the digi so i couldn't take a pic of it :( Vacuum manifold should be comin within a few days. Plus, the second link that qnz showed me for the IC piping; i'm probably gonna go with that piping, then cut it to appropriate sizes and lengths

[DOHCstunr]

i'm going to dig up some old albums tonight and ride the wave of nostalgia.

[Galant Kid]

I'm really jealous, Drew! I knew you were going turbo, but I didn't know it would be this soon.

Race me then? :idea:

[qnz]

the tbolt clamps and couplers that come with the piping tho are pretty cheap quality tho. I would think about getting new ones anyway if you get the kit. when you squeeze the couplers, they squish as easy as squeezing a sponge. try turbonetics ones. squeezing them is like squeezing a handball. they are on the pricey side tho.

lol, from the money i saved up in the summer, it kinda surprises me that i'm getting all the parts so soon. hopefully i can made the rain date for Mitsubishi day, then maybe we can race (before the turbo's in):wink:

question: about my turbo: can i change the compressor and turbine wheels to higher specifications, or do i just get another turbo if the current wheels need replacing? (i'll be using the current ones, but i'm just curious when and if they do need to be repaired in the future....) :smt017

UPDATE(10/06/07): i'm probably gonna buy underrated's piping(already setup), after i ship my old intake manifold to a friend in philly(slickeonez99). gonna install the injectors and fuel pump tomorrow with mtcavity. The vacuum manifold just came in the mail on thursday, gotta go home and pick up the injectors and fuel pump before i head to PA though. More to come later.... :D

[run1206]

ok... the fuel pump is installed. mtcavity1 helped me with the fuel pump, here's some of the pics.

sorry for the choppy pics, movin the camera a lil too much :oops: :lol:

we couldn't get the injectors installed because i have to get certain adapters for them, i'll be looking online if any of them are on eBay (mtcavity1: whenever you get the chance, if you have the link to the site, please send it. thanks :D )

next buy will be the IC piping, maft, and couplers, clamps, etc....
that will be later this week
:D

[run1206]

ok. in terms of the fuel pressure regulator, i found this one from tearstone...wasn't sure if it would fit our car, but since the specs says "2000-2005 Eclipse 2.4L", i assume it will fit.

hey drew i would save the money and buy a stock evo fuel rail and stock fpr the evo pfr is a 1:1 raising rate regulator

those aeromotive ones a re grip and i've seen them go cheaper then $149

The stock EVO fuel rail wont mount to the 4G64 intake manifold without some decent fabrication work.

I disagree Brian. I have the stock evo fuel rail + evo fpr + wrx injectors and all i needed was longer vacuum line, and about 1" of washers. Surprisingly, there was no other fabrication needed.

Yeah I guess you can do it like that, but I dont trust spacers and washers and stuff when it comes to keeping a fuel rail in place, but whatever. I was going on my experience with my AMS EVO rail, but thats also a little taller in the center section than a stock EVO rail.


With that being said, I have a stock EVO8 rail with a -8 an fitting tig welded on the return, if anyone needs it PM me.

[underated]

He has my outlander manifold on too it gives somemore room

QNZ has the setup you want but you can still use your dsm injectors

here read this thread Drew
http://www.club3g.com/forum/rs-gs/78046-100-fuel-system-solution-thesis.html

[Stewi]

What doesnt make any sense is in that thread, the guy said that Napalm figured out that aftermarket EVO rails fit the 4G64, I cant see how that is true since I bought my AMS rail from Napalm because he said he couldnt get it to fit on his stock 4G64 manifold. Anyhow, this is all good info.

[underated]

you gotta pretty much take the stuff over at 3g with a grain of salt they dont always post the right info atleast its alot better then the .org site lol

[Stewi]

lol

I hate .org

When I first did the EVO swap one of the mods over there was talking soo much trash to me about how my car was soo slow 13.8 and his SDS V6 would kill my car and blah blah blah, turns out the dude had like a bone stock V6 with SDS stage1, I think his bet pass was like 14 something, but this dude would harass me soo much, I just stopped posting all together.

[run1206]

ok, i read the thread that Brandon posted... very useful information. My question is, if i do go with the stock EVO fuel rail and stock EVO FPR, would i still be able to use my DSM injectors on that rail, or should i get the WRX injectors instead??

if anything...i could probably search those sites (and eBay) to see if i can get those kind of deals on the FPR, fuel rail, and injectors...

[Johnathansgalant]

ur dsm injectors fit fine with the rail u need spacers and washers and very short bolts to fit the injectors

[run1206]

ur dsm injectors fit fine with the rail u need spacers and washers and very short bolts to fit the injectors
k, when you mean "the rail" are you referring to the rail i currently have.. or was that referring to the EVO rail?

EDIT: quote for GSKNIGHT over in club3g:
"... If you use the WRX injectors with the stock fuel rail, I can't say how many spacers you will need, if any. But with the Evo Rail, then you need 2 thin washers on top of the stock black plastic spacers. Also, because the Evo rail's mounting tabs are much thinner than stock, you cannot re-use the stock mounting bolts (they run out of threads before you can get everything tightened up. You need to use bolts that are slightly shorter than the stock mounting bolts and have threads all the way down, not just on the end."

questioin answered, thanks johnathansgalant

[Johnathansgalant]

regardless, whatever rail u use with the dsm injectors will need spacers. The stock rail will need some thin spacers and with the evo rail i needed 3 larger spacers.. Ull see when u install them - the stock rail will work with stock or dsm bolts but the evo u need shorter much shorter than stocks -- find some that are threaded all the way it will be easier.. WRX is another story so i wont be able to say. I also did not have the intake mani bracket he had to cut so i dont know about that either..

the adapters (for the injectors) and the tapped oil pan are currently being shipped to my house. should be there (both) by thursday. after that, i'll be getting the IC piping (Brandon: sorry i'm taking so long to give you the payment, exams this week. i should be able to send it to you by friday)

[underated]

no need to apologize man i'll hold it for you dont worry

what else do you need to finish you setup?

[Stewi]

Glad to see my EGT made it to a good home.

[run1206]

no need to apologize man i'll hold it for you dont worry

what else do you need to finish you setup?
thank you for holding it for me! :D
i think the only things i need is the IC piping (w/maft), gaskets, a custom downpipe, fuel pressure regulator (still pondering on whether to stay stock, or aeromotive, or EVO fuel rail & fpr), oil lines, vacuum lines (i guess to route the BOV, FPR, wastegate, etc.. to the vacuum manifold).
Gaskets: block ->manifold
manifold -> turbo
turbo -> o2 housing
o2 housing -> downpipe
downpipe -> midpipe

not sure if i still need an oil cooler, i think i do though i have to figure out how to route the tapped oil pan to the oil cooler.

that's all i can think of for now.

don't know what this is, but i heard that i might need a "dump tube" as well (i don't know what this is :?

UPDATE: btw, the adapters just came in today....

depending on my schedule, i might get the injectors installed next week, we'll see. but yeah, those are the last few parts that i can think for now. the parts from the first page are already bought (at least the ones that came with the kit) if i'm forgetting anything, please do remind me, lol. thanks all
more to come soon.... :wink:


Glad to see my EGT made it to a good home.
yes, and i do thank you for the gauge!! :smt023
it will be put to good use

[underated]

you dont need a tump tube since your using an internal wastegate with the stock o2 housing

the oil cooler is seperate from the oil pan

you would use the oil filter housing for inlet and outlet ports to hook the oil cooler to

the fitting on the oil pan is just to drain the turbo the oil goes from the feed line through the turbo out the drain line into the pan

i opted to get the transmission cooler over the oil cooler because if you use good enough oil and change it regularly it wont break down or overheat but the trans mission on the other hand you want as much protection for it as possible the cooler inside the radiator just isn't going to cut it long term but thats just how i thought about things

[run1206]

k, not really an update til i show the pics, but i just purchased underrated's IC piping on friday (gonna pst those pics when it comes in the mail). In the meantime, i was browsing around the turbo section for more info..the usual. I saw the link that seth98est put up for someone looking for a turbo list for their setup.

http://4g64.150m.com/turbo3.html

So i read it for a while and noticed that you can install the S-AFC as one of the "pre-mods" for the turbo, like how i have the fuel pump in now....before the actual turbo's on. (sorry, TOTAL noob moment :oops: :lol: ). anyways...i think that might be another install i do, right before the injectors go in, just gotta figure out how to install the S-AFC with the injectors, we shall see...

Drew i dropped the piping, gm maf/translator and sandwich adapter off tonight it will be shipped in the morning... its comming in a hp printer box lol i'm about to pm you with the tracking number

the maf translator is zero'd out (you can use it to tune) i just had it setup as a meter like the stock unit

the piping has a flange for your 1g BOV it places it down by the driver side fog light looks like this

that's what i'm thinkin about doing... i'm a lil iffy about that tap and wanted to get opinions on it. i'm gonna see if i can find another stock oil pan and save it while i tap my current one.

Hey If you need an extra pan, i have one, its in decent shape for $30. You can come pick it up, or if you want, give me $45 and I will ship it. Its a virgin pan, no fittings or anything. If you tell me the type of fitting you want, I can drill and tap it, or weld in a bung or whatever you need.

[seth98esT]

SHouldnt you use the oil pan tap for the turbo oil return? Get a sandwhich adaptor for the oil filter for the cooler. And for the oil feed, not sure, think in 7gs, theres a bolt in the front left section of the head, just like the 1g/2g 4g63ts.

Just let me know. Typically your oil return line should be at least double the size of the feed line. Your oil cooler setup has nothing to do with the return line. That adaptor you have sends oil to the cooler and back into the filter housing to get back to the motor.

[run1206]

i'm assuming to go with the return at -8AN and the feed at -4AN. Do i need another for the oil filter, cuz i thought this one was the one i needed, (unless i need an adapter just for the tap itself...)

[qnz]

im using a -10an for oil return. have fun making the SS lines! remember, to measure, and measure again before you cut. and when youre about to cut, measure it again. ive have to make my line about 3 times. :cry:

[underated]

i used a 5/8th barbed fitting then switched to a -10an... i welded a 1/2npt female fitting to the pan so i could switch out fittings if i need too

[Stewi]

im using a -10an for oil return. have fun making the SS lines! remember, to measure, and measure again before you cut. and when youre about to cut, measure it again. ive have to make my line about 3 times. :cry:

I know what you mean Aaron.

I am using -10 as well and with my manifold its a weird angle into the pan. I am using a 90 degree -10 hose end on the turbo side and a 30 degree -10 hose end on the pan side. I broke one of the 30 degree fittings, I didnt use enough assembly lube and the barb snapped off, what a waste for $38. Nothing like spending $110 to make a return line.

Run, I would use either a -10 return line or 1/2" high temp rubber line and just tap a barb fitting into the pan like Mtcavity.

If your feeding the turbo from the sandwhich plate adaptor, I would use a -3AN feed not a -4AN. If you search around the DSM forums, anyone feeding from the filter housing or sandwhich plate who runs a full -4 line has problems in the upper RPM range with too much oil pressure and it blows past the seal in the turbo.

I am personally running a -4AN feed line, but where it enters the turbo, I have a -3AN reducer to restrict flow so I dont blow oil thru the seals. This may end up not being an issue for you since you still have balance shafts in your motor where as I dont and most built DSMs dont. Without the balance shafts im seeing alot of oil pressure. My Pressure sending unit is in the head and I have 12-15psi at idle once its warmed up. On my EVO motor I was seeing like 5psi at idle if I was lucky.

[run1206]

i think i might go with the -10AN return and -3AN feed line, i guess i have to do a 1/2npt fitting on the pan as well, unless there's other fitting that would go better with the pan....

[underated]

are you gonna use a regular hose or a steel braided line?

what kind of fitting is on the return part of the turbo?

Run if you want I can put a male -10 AN bulkhead fitting right on the pan. A bulkhead is kinda like what Mtcavity has. You drill the hole, slide the fitting thru and then tighten the nut on the back. It has an O-ring between the fitting and pan and between the nut and the pan so it seals up good. I think the fitting is like $30. Dont buy any hose end fittings until you mock up the parts to see what type of angle the return is at, you might have to use a 45 or you may be able to do a straight line. I couldnt do any of that, I had to get a 35 degree or something wierd.

k, is it possible to buy the hose without the fitting, unless i could go with the fitting that you put into the pan...

how will i know what the angle will be unless i put the pan on the car? (lil confused there... :smt017 )

[qnz]

the spot mtcavity tapped is a pretty good spot. anymore to the left and you run the risk of the drain line getting in contact with the down pipe. you can figure out the angle you need by attaching the turbo and the drain hose on, then bring the hose down to where youre gonna tap for the oil pan fitting and figure out what angle you can get the drain hose in.

dont forget, if you tap the hole too high, you'll have problems attaching the fitting onto the nipple. mine ended up being a straight fitting coming down from the turbo to a 45 degree fitting on the oil pan. the line was no longer than a foot.

pretty good, just ordered the Aeromotive FPR and bronxbomber's hookin me up with some gaskets. Roman gave me some oil lines, adapters, and misc. fittings as well, will post everything when the FPR comes in. all i need is a downpipe and a few more misc. fittings and i'll be good. Still pretty much on schedule with the build too: install will be around winter break, def before spring semester starts :D

i might ask GOOSEY if i could do it at his garage, if he's busy during that time (late Dec. - early Jan. ) then i might go to mtcavity's garage to do it. i know it's gonna take at least a week to do the install :(

you got my last PM with my address right?

i'm currently contacting someone on eBay in reference to WRX injectors and what size they are, if they're 550cc then i'm buying them (about 120 shipped)

the oil cooler arrived right before finals as well... don't know where those pics are :smt017

anyways... i also ordered the oil drain flange for the 14B. i plan on getting the flange that goes between the turbo and the manifold soon, just have to make sure if i actually need the flange or not.

(it's the only wideband gauge i've found under $200 (usually others are a kit with the wideband sensor included)

that's all i can think of for now...
hopefully everything comes in the latest right after the new year so i can start getting measurements on fittings and what needs to be done in terms of installation.

http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=INN%2D3793&N=700+4294822093+115&autoview=sku

Its Innovate's gauge, the same one im running. You were probably only able to find the XD16 gauge which is like $225 and displays all types of data that you will never use. Its a good gauge and the wire up was very easy when using it with the LC1.

i just ordered this gauge from Innovative last night
http://www.innovatemotorsports.com/xcart/product.php?productid=16279&cat=0&page=1
but i contacted their sales dept. and left a messege to see if i can get the 3793 instead of the 3803. gotta wait til monday for a reply...

edit: the person selling the WRX injectors say they are rated @ 420cc.
i'm wondering if i should still get these injectors and modify them to 740cc
(from the $100 fuel solution link -> http://www.club3g.com/forum/rs-gs/78046-100-fuel-system-solution-thesis.html [post#21]) or if i should leave them at 420cc, either way it's High Impedence so i wouldn't need the resistor pack.

[Stewi]

420's are more than enough for what your doing

This is just my opinion, so take it as you wish, I would not even think about buying that gauge. That is almost like a Lean/Stoich/Rich AFR gauge, its not precise. When tuning a boosted car, you need to know exactly what the AFR is, thats why all the reputable companies that sell kits 99% of the gauge have digital readouts. Not only that, but its the same price as the digital gauge. While your busy trying to figure out if your AFR is 11.2 or 11.8 by trying to count them lines, you could be damaging your motor. I would definely call them asap and get the digital one.

exactly what i thought. i figure the digital one is more accurate sicne you have the actual number and don't have to measure what lines wil be where i want it to be. i called them and left a message, plus i emailed them on the site and asked if i have to exchange after it gets to my house or if i can exchange the 3803 with the 3793 (the digital one).

WRX injectors: i went on clubWRX.net and currently have an offer from a member in South Jersey, so hopefully i'll get them when we meet this weekend.

still have to get the gaskets, tapped oil pan, and downpipe for the turbo, as well as the fittings for the ends of the oil lines

btw, i'm keeping the A/C, so i'll try to find a way to get a custom DP goin...

FYI thats not threadlocker on the wideband sensor, its anti-sieze so the sensor wont get stuck in the bung and the amount on there is just fine. o2 sensors have a built in washer to keep them tight, you dont wanna use loc-tite.

What did you mean by "no name on the cd"? Were you expecting it to say something specific? The CD is just contains install instructions, user manual and datalogging software.

i'm currently looking at pre-made water/oil line kit on Ebay and various websites to see what the fittings i need look like. (gonna go to jegs.com and summitracing.com to get the actual "end" fittings)

as far as the DP, i might buy from here...
http://stores.ebay.com/Performance-Curve
(sorry for the newb question, but does anyone know how many 45, 90 degree bends i need for a custom DP, i assume a 90 and two 45s, though i might be wrong :smt102 )

more to come soon :wink:

edit:

The first one looks most "universal". I just got some mandrel bends off eBay. I used two 45* bends and 4 90* bends, along with 2 straight pipes.
nm, found my answer :oops: :lol:

[spdracr]

any updates yet ??

[run1206]

any updates yet ??

yup!
update: the downpipe piping is in. i only ordered one set of the U/V bends, but i might order another one in the near future, just in case.

also purchased the flex pipe
http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u43/run1206/Downpipe%20Piping/00006.jpg

still have to get the tapped oil pan and gaskets, but i'm pretty close to done in terms of getting the main parts for the turbo. Now it's only the small things (other than the oil pan) and the end fittings. Other than that, i'm considering using the steering wheel gauge pods for my Boost and AFR gauges, while i might put my EGT gauge where the cigarette lighter is, if not then i'll try to put all three in the extra compartment in the radio bezel.

probably the next few items i'll purchase online is the flanges for the DP and the end fittings for the oil lines. i'm so excited how i'm almost done with purchasing the parts. the real obstacle is installing it together, hopefully i can get this all done before we have our turbo/sc race meets.

the fittings for the oil lines will be from jegs.com as well. they have unbelievably fast shipping; i bought the coating on friday :shock:

the only thing i need left is the oil catch can (if i need one...) and the circular fitting on the oil inlet, and the gaskets for the turbo, o2 housing, etc... and i'm done with parts. :D
(almost there.....)

[Stewi]

Drew a few things.....


Are you using heat wrap then using the paint to paint the heat wrap? The reason I ask is because if you read the fine print, the paint is good for 2000 degrees when used with heat wrap, without the wrap its only good for 1300 degrees like most other high temp paint. There is one other brand, I think maybe MtCavity posted it but im not certain, that has a 2000 degree paint that doesnt need the wrap. I used that same paint you posted without the wrap, and it all came off in a matter of hours. Your EGT's in any type of boost will be in the 1400-1600 range.

Aaron, I didnt weld the fitting to Drew's pan, I used a bulk head fitting as per his request, but you can do it either way. I personally like welding it because you rule out the chance of having a leak, but the bulkhead fitting seals up fine as long as you use the correct sealing rings.

[run1206]

^^
yes, i am using heat wrap, Roman gave me a set a few months ago. I'll be using both, so i assume the protection will be up to that mark. After the install, i'll double check on the EGt to make sure i'm within reasonable temp limits for the coating and wrap.

[Stewi]

Ohh you'll definetly be under 2000, I have never gotten it passed 1800, and 1800 was on two back to back no cool down dyno pulls.

[Stewi]

ok so I got the pics....


the pan was drilled, mounting flange was checked/straightened so it was perfectly flat, the entire pan was glass bead blasted, hot tanked and painted flat black. The fitting is a -10AN aluminum fitting that was turned down on lathe to fit perfectly. I have to say this pan came out extremely good, I would honestly never put another pan on a motor without having it blasted, hot tanked and painted.

i got SS lines from GOOSEY2099 for the oil(-4AN for feed, -10AN for return), and standard black water lines

[fatal1]

a catch can you can always add later but if you want to do it now they are only like $30 i wouldnt say it was really neccisary though

[Stewi]

I would recommend getting a catch can sooner than later. I dont know how many miles are on your old motor, but if its anywhere passed 80k, I would think that there would be substantially enough blow by to warrany a catch can.

k, update.
stuck at a certain point. we were only able to get the WRX injectors in but there's a fuel leak between the fitting and the rail. so i wanna get a specific fitting for the rail. i'm wondering whether to get

90-94 -6AN fitting
http://www.extremepsi.com/store/customer/product.php?productid=17652&cat=1559&page=1

or 95-99 -6AN fitting
http://www.extremepsi.com/store/customer/product.php?productid=20908&cat=1559&page=1

don't know which one would fit on our rails, i'm assuming the second but not quite sure. gonna check autozone in a few minutes to see what i can find out

[GOOSEY2099]

Get the one from tearstone

[spdracr]

are u using the stock fuel line or I'm assuming that u gonna get a SS line to go along with the fitting

Why don't u take some pics and show us what the problem exactly

Btw where is the fuel filter located on our cars??

That peice bolted right on, then i used a barb fitting on it and hooked it up to my fpr.

good to hear. i decided to get both just in case, though i'll be trying the tearstone adapter first.

btw, how did you get the lines to stay inside of the fittings? JBWeld?
i tried to screw them in but it keeps sliding out... :?

[Stewi]

are you talking about AN lines?

The idea is to slide the hose into the coupler all the way, then use some type of oil or lubricant, a very little bit of it, on the inside of the rubber hose, then push the barb in, hold the hose itself tight, dont hold the coupler, hold the hose. use some lubricant on the threads as well, then tighten it all the way down. The key to tightening them is to not stop. If you stop for too long and try to start up again, its a PITA and sometimes you can even damage the fitting.

[run1206]

UPDATE: i've driven over 100 miles and still no Check Engine Light from the innjector flash :D :D

i just put in the MAF translator a few hours ago; sitll no CEL (i hope running it now still leaves it zeroed out - unless i have to reconfigure that when installing the turbo), i'll post up some pics either tonight or tomorrow afternoon. hopefully during wednesday i'll be able to mount the intercooler, not too sure though.

the tearstone adapter is on the way as well

pics to come later

[run1206]

k, i'm thinking about mounting my intercooler today. checked the service manual, though i haven't checked my bumper yet. i assume that their isn't pre-drilled holes where the IC would mount

anyone who has mounted one, have you had any troubles with mounting?


sorry for double post :oops:

[spdracr]

no predrilled holes through but there is 2 holes on the top of the crash bar that u can drill through it to he bottom but what I did is I marked the holes of the intercooler and drilled the first 3 layers with a big bit and them the last where the screw is gonna be holding the intercooler was a smaller hole

[mtcavity1]

There will actually be indentions in the framing of the radiator support/front frame that match the 2 1/2 intercooler piping, go a bit lower than that and it should go in nice. Along with some trimming of the inner bumper piece. I welded on the supports for the IC.

Check out my CarDomain pictures to see what it looked like before and after.

[mtcavity1]

The crash-bar will fit with minor modifications, the equivalent of about a half hour on an angle grinder.

[Stewi]

im not too familiar with 02/03 8g's but if they arent already open, you may want to open up the left foglamp bezel vents. this way you can get nice airflow to the oil cooler. Was there a specific reason that you relocated the oil filter?

It was part of the oil cooler kit, and the housing of the re-locator has 2 - 1/8in NPT filtered oil line outlets. That is what I feed the turbo with.

The oil line is routed in a fashon that it is cooled because I removed the inner plastic on the vents to make them functional. The other side is the same but obviously is for the oil cooler radiator.

Drew has the same exact kit.

[Stewi]

cool. yeah I know getting airflow to the cooler is sometimes a PITA. I was messing around with my cooler last night for a solid 2 hours trying to find a good place for it now that I have A/C back in the car. MT did you install the stuff with Drew? Make sure you compensate for the added oil capacity of the cooler and all those lines. I know my setup has much shorter hoses and it holds nearly 1 1/2 quarts.

[mtcavity1]

Correct again! 5 quarts is what it takes now (good call), and I did not work on Drew's yet but intend on covering all the issues that I experianced with mine during the installation. Mostly due to rushing and not securing the oil lines off the Oil send and reciever, with one bounce off the ground or road debris rupturing the line. Needing absolute support, but flex for the engine torque (front and back).

Drew loaned me Maximum Boost and have learned more than I could have EVER thought there was to turbo-charging!

lol, glad to see that booked helped you, i usually look over chapter 2 alot, shows the "engineering" concepts to turbocharging and the "PLAN" to what should be modified.

Stewi: i bought a 5 qt of oil and a new filter, so i should be good with getting more oil for the extra length

hopefully i don't run into the same problems that mtcavity had with the oil lines (alot of potholes and bumps to knock off my lines in no time :( )

[Stewi]

I was concerned with my lines too. I went to home depot and got zipties that have a ring on the end that can be secured with a bolt or screw. I drilled a two tiny holes into the lower passenger side frame rail and tied the lines up with them, it holds up well and looks pretty clean.

[mtcavity1]

I intend on installing a support bracket that attaches to the bottom AC compressor mount bolt. From there it keeps the profile of the lines at least on the same profile as the oil pan.

http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z274/mtcavity/HPIM1842.jpg
http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z274/mtcavity/HPIM1844.jpg

I just replenished my supply of steel stock, so will make you a "more attractive" support.

The gunk is from the line blowing off. The lines are BF Goodridge oil lines wrapped in hockey tape.

[run1206]

^^ good idea. i was wndering if their was a way to keep those lines up with the oil pan, i have extra zipties, maybe could get some more lines to secure them...

[run1206]

k, i just received my billet adapter from Tearstone a few nights ago (Russ sent me another adapter after we realized the first didn't get to me, good customer service). I'm hoping to meet up with mtcavity either this upcoming Friday or Saturday to work on the car more. hopefully the fuel system setup goes smoothly.

another part we worked on was the electronics lines for the SAFC and Wideband. The boost line was routed with the wideband.

meanwhile, we worked on the bumper and intercooler mounting, i noticed the "grooves" that are on the frame, possible place to set the sides of the intercooler...

i decided to have the bottom "tube" of the crash bar cut out and set the intercooler from there, we'll get the fitment pics and mounting the next time i head to laxin's house.
right now i have a CEL and am gonna go to autozone later tonight to see what the code is. Plus i'm gonna double check the SAFC manual to see if i can prevent the car from wanting to stall when idling in drive.


possibly next week i'll go back and work on the fuel line (change from -4 to -6 AN fuel line) as well as actually mounting the intercooler and oil cooler. After finals week (may 13th) i'll be able to work on the car every day.

laxin: let me know what days are good to drop by to work on the lines, IC, and oil cooler, after the 13th, i'm available every day til i start doing my summer internship.
GOOSEY: let me know if you have the -6AN lines

[Ruslik]

work looks good

[kbeast]

yeah or wwhere to buy the 6an lines

[run1206]

yeah or wwhere to buy the 6an lines

i'm sure you can get them online. i bought my oil line from an eBay third party store (using the extra one Roman gave me for the fuel line :oops: )

[kbeast]

hm..... -6an extreme psi has itrighty didnt you order from them

[run1206]

hm..... -6an extreme psi has itrighty didnt you order from them

i actually got my lines from GOOSEY but accidentally installed the -4AN lines (meant for the oil) in for the fuel :oops:
so i'm probably gonna order the -6AN lines from extremepsi as well as the fittings for the lines.

btw extremepsi is EXTREMELY fast with shipping; they're located minutes away from laxinwarrior's house. i got my products to my house the day after i ordered them :shock: :D

[GOOSEY2099]

Dude sorry about the delay on that line, i'll try to send it out monday morning before work!

[run1206]

Dude sorry about the delay on that line, i'll try to send it out monday morning before work!

no problem, just remind me the day you ship them so someone at my house can sign for the package.

i decided not to use the SAFC (for now) cuz the CEL was for a low voltage on the air output signal and the SAFC may have been causing that problem. the connection for the air flow signal is shorted on the harness and the CEL is gone :D
right now i'm tuning with the MAFTranslator to find the settings i can be at for MID and WOT (if i change the BASE/AUX settings to where the C3G tutorial says, my car stalls immediately :( ). gonna datalog that as well.

not sure when the next time i'll be working on the project will be though :?

[kbeast]

same here bro i got my stuff asap. hey man when you doing the instal i might come up there if thats cool

[run1206]

same here bro i got my stuff asap. hey man when you doing the instal i might come up there if thats cool

well... it's an ongoing process :lol: don't kmnow the exact date when i'll be installing the turbo itself. mtcavity and laxinwarrior have been helping me with facilities to work in , but laxin's gotta work on the headgasket and mtcavity works alot :(

hopefully sometimes within early June.

[run1206]

Dude sorry about the delay on that line, i'll try to send it out monday morning before work!

have ya sent the lines yet??? :lol:

[GOOSEY2099]

It should go out tomorrow, I have it in the back of my car

[run1206]

ok, so i decided to get off my lazy ass and get this project moving again...
installed the wideband yesterday afternoon (would have been sooner but rained for a few hours and stopped soldering). didn't take any pics but the wideband gauge and sensor are installed. the problems i'm having now is i'm pulling 2 codes (heater malfunction code, which i though i fixed with the resistors :( and the other is the oxygen sensor too high voltage code ) . car ran ok this morning on my way to work, no bogging and no jolting after disconnecting the positive terminal :shock: :D

while datalogging, i see the front sensor only reading 0.060 volts (at most) and it's in open loop mode (but no bogging, thank God :lol: ) but the odd thing is the gauge. it starts at 7.4 and blinks a few times (i'm assuming a reset or system check) and then slowly creeps up to about 8.9. i'm thinking the signal wire is loose cuz when the wire moves around a lil, the gauge goes back to 7.4 and blinks again, so i'm gonna resolder that signal line again. also the 25mm stereo to serial OUT connection in the package doesn't match my serial OUT connection on my laptop (their connection has only 9 holes and mine has i think 15 [same as my flat screen's serial cable] so i'm gonna go to best buy to see if they have a conversion harness so i can program the sensor.

as far as the codes, i did two 10 ohm 10 watt resistors in parallel (which should become the 5 ohms needed for the resistane of the front sensor heater wire [pin 3] ) maybe i made the connection wrong, but i think it's still trying to read from the OEM harness (which isn't attached to any sensor). after work today i'll try to take some pics and continue with the install.


GOOSEY: i STILL can't get the second end of the -6AN fitting to go into the SS line :( i'll keep trying during the week. as far as turbo fitment, that will be this upcoming friday and saturday. i'll take pics and send them to you (or post them here) for further review.

laxin: PLEASE let me know when i can get a chance to drop by and pick up the intercooler and crash pipe

mtcavity: keep me posted if you're still available for next weekend

[qnz]

i still have the maft you lazy bum. want me to just put it in the mail?

so far so good man! any update? Are you done?

[run1206]

so far so good man! any update? Are you done?

thanks, only thing i have as an update is that i got an EVO fuel rail from GOOSEY2099, gonna see if i can revise my fuel lines to work with that. Other than that, i fixed up my wideband so i only have one CEL (system too lean), but that i can fix with the GM MAFT (which i'm still contemplating whether to use the gen 1 or gen 2 maft)....

i've been hammered with mid-terms, career fair, and programming assignments that i haven't been able to do anything to the car yet. i hope to get the fuel rail in before mid november (most likely gonna do it in two weeks, that and to get the SS -6AN line in). I still have yet to get the gaskets for head -> manifold, manifold -> turbo, turbo->o2 housing, and o2 housing-> downpipe.

[WhiteGalant]

Ur getting there, atleast you got all the parts now. lol

nothing has changed lol...at this rate, i'll be boosted before drew

[run1206]

Fejery (spelling?) might sell me his downpipe which bolts up to my setup. just waiting on him to let me know when he'll sell it. I gotta get the evo ecu cuz
1. turbo maps
2. could also do the 5 speed swap as well.

currently searching for that as well.

[ZigenScarface]

UPDATE? lol

[run1206]

UPDATE? lol

when i get my paycheck next friday i'm gonna try to find a 2003 or 2004 EVO ECU, then the parts list will be complete. Install will probably be done either over the weekend or the following week after, depending on how much time I need. Either will have a mechanic weld and install a DP or ask GOOSEY2099 to weld and install one for me.

[ZigenScarface]

if u need n e help with the install lemme kno ill b down to help

[spdracr]

[ZigenScarface]

i cant weld but i can do other stuff haha

[run1206]

ok, lil update:
I just got the EVO ECU on saturday afternoon from a member of evom.net (big thanks to him on the fast shipping, and to GOOSEY2099 for letting me know about the sale :orangesmile:

http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u43/run1206/car%20photos/0530091427.jpg according to GOOSEY2099...
"Now you need a boost solenoid, new style jdm foglight clip (not sure why on that one), fuel pressure solenoid, dsm injector clip (not sure about that one either since i'm using wrx injectors) "

pretty soon i'll get the wiring for the ecu as well as the final gaskets for the hardware components. gotta talk to GOOSEY2099 and johnathansgalant about whether to do only the EVO ECU or to do the dual ECU swap.

more details to follow soon :orangesmile:

[QnzMostWanted]

u might have to go Dual ECU for now since ur Automatic, but once u go 5spd u can do single ECU

[GOOSEY2099]

the reason for those clips is... boost solinoid connector is exactly like my jdm fog connctors were. and the fp solinoid is just like a fuel injector clip.

[run1206]

the reason for those clips is... boost solinoid connector is exactly like my jdm fog connctors were. and the fp solinoid is just like a fuel injector clip.

and my assumption is this will eliminate the codes that goes to those wires, nice :thumb:
hopefully i have no CEL codes after the install, will go to inspection prior to the turbo install. (at least that way, i have another two years to finish the remaining CEL codes)

so i figure go back to evom.net and find someone selling these, unless you have any extra lying around the garage somewhere ;)


i forgot where i got this document from....

http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u43/run1206/car%20photos/0603090956a.jpg
hard to read, i know :icon_sad: it's an excel sheet showing the EVO and Galant ECU pinouts side by side. maybe i got it from underrated or johnathansgalant...either way i'll ask them about it to see if i can use this as reference when i do the swap.

[run1206]

so i've been looking at a few sites to get the remaining items for Galant/EVO Dual ECU swap. all i need is a turbo wastegate solenoid (and a mathcing new style JDM foglight clip) and a fuel pressure solenoid (and a matching dsm injector clip) and an extension harness so i don't mock up the current stock harness for the Galant ECU.


the reason for those clips is... boost solinoid connector is exactly like my jdm fog connctors were. and the fp solinoid is just like a fuel injector clip.
both clips would be from an evo right?

Conversion Harness: maybe around $300+
(Boomslang) i emailed Boomslang about a custom "conversion harness" (thanks for lettin me know johnathansgalant :D )

Boost Solenoid:
(AEM) $101.00
http://www.aempower.com/ViewProduct.aspx?ProductID=23

(eBay) $54.99 shipped
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=380129741405&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT
(looks very similar to the AEM solenoid :icon_confused: )

(eBay) $59.95 shipped
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260363083430&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT

still looking for the right fuel pressure solenoids to find as well, will post up links when i find them.

i still have to get the remaining gaskets for the hardware itself (exhaust manifold -> turbo, turbo -> o2 housing, o2 housing -> downpipe), but those i will purchase tomorrow or during the weekend.

[run1206]

planning on getting a new clutch as well, but not sure if it's gonna ship in time for Sunday :icon_confused:

[kylecanthurdle]

nice drew, glad to see ya picked it up. i got a pretty decent deal, 1000 for the trans and they guy said i can take whatever i wanted that had to do with the swap for no cost. got the new clutch/pressure plate/throwout bearing and a new mast cyl. so all im gonna need is the trans, cables, slave cyl, flywheel, shifter and pedals. so lets hope maybe you and i both can be swapped by the end of aug...thatll be friggin awesome.

[mko]

Make sure you have the little clip that holds the shifter to the cable/white plastic/. I was told that w/o it its worthless and you have to buy the whole set of cables

[run1206]

just finished talking to Stewi on the phone a few seconds ago. He said the same thing; i need a U shaped clip to connect to the cable. I gotta call Denver about a "clutch reservoir" as well. Gotta get in touch with Izzy again and ask for the brake pedal too. only those three things and i'm set :orangesmile:

true, i might wait a week to finish my swap, gotta make sure i have everything since this is my DD as well. Good to get the smaller stuff first; i kinda wish Izzy had the stuff ready when i drove to his house a few weeks ago (MA).

[run1206]

UPDATE: clutch is fixed, but i know some of you won't approve of how we did it. Big thanks to everyone who called/visited my house to help with the fix. The fix was (for now) using an extension from a socket wrench which fits right into the section where the OEM rod goes into the slave cylinder, i'll post a pic tomorrow of how it is now, but it DOES work (temporarily) :lol:

I bought and received the extension rod from Extreme PSI today and will install the rod tomorrow afternoon when my friend comes home from work. (you need 2 people to get the slave cylinder back onto the tranny while using an extended rod.....sounds so wrong :lol: )

After $1100 and waiting til my birthday in Dec, i finally got my car back and she shifts great! I can get to all gears including reverse. Currently I have the 5 CEL codes as expected (4 for the shift solenoids and the torque converter codes).
My speed sensor doesn't work too, so i'm using my GPS for mph lol. Trying to look for another speed sensor and reverse solenoids at local junkyards (if anybody might have one or know someone that has one, please let me know. thanks).
Now i'm wondering about the boomslang harness and EVO ECU. Since i'm manual now, do i really need to connect the original ECU to the harness, or go with what I was gonna do and use both ECUs? Before I install the EVO ECU, i'm definitely gonna go over each and every connection before powering up the ECUs (probably will label all wires with the diagram papers i have from underrated and johnathansgalant). I have to fix my 90degree intake hose too, gonna get a new silicone coupler for that tomorrow.

Update on the EVO ECU and Boomslang Harness:
Minor problem with the harness and the ECU, i don't think many of the connections that are needed are made. Here's some of the pics i took yesterday of it connected to the ECU.

I started labeling the pins and wires for the ecu and harness, so that i make sure i have all connections made. will try to finalize it sometime this week.

Here is what i was talking about. EVO ECU has 2 rows. That 2nd connector to the ecu must have more than only 3 connections, i'll double check this tomorrow morning with the ECU sheets johnathansgalant made.

Top: EVO ECU connections have two (2) rows
Bottom:Stock harness for Galant has three (3) rows

the same diagram from Figure 3. (Black_Yellow is for pin 3, Black_Blue is for pin 4, & ground is pin 2)

i plan on installing the speed sensor sometime this week

[run1206]

worked on the speed sensor today, car lost all power (i forgot to secure the negative part of the battery terminal *oops* :TGC: )
wired it up and still doesn't work. maybe i'm wiring to pin 1&2 instead of 3&4 on C-17 :?

can't tell if from the diagrams i should determine 3 & 4 from looking INTO the harness or looking from BEHIND the harness.

any help is appreciated, thanks :)

Any updates Drew?

Any updates Drew?

wow i haven't been on here in a year :lol:

i'm in the process of doing the wires on the Boomslang harness and fitting it into the car sometime this month or next month (inspection is in August, that's my deadline). I'm waiting on word from SPD_FRK if his company makes the 4cyl conversion harness, if they do, i'll use that instead of the Boomslang for the Evo ecu.

Turbo wise, started cleaning out dirt and grime from the 14B. Might contact Chris to see about rebuilding the turbo, sometime this month.

Working again so at least i have an income to build up the project on.

That's where I'm at currently; still need gaskets, someone to weld the DP (with AC hopefully) and fitment of the ecu into the car.

edit: thanks to jonathansgalant I will start working on getting the speedo to work again, wiring for that is next week.

Did you do anything else with it over a years time!? o.O

[Galanttuner10]

hey drew you know you can hit me up whenever to rebuild it if the play is pretty bad. a rebuild kit is 45 bucks and you know i wont charge you anything and we can go to the bar before you head home

[run1206]

not really, most of last year's work was getting a new clutch and the transmission, not to mention getting a new job (the drive to manhattan is ridiculous :( )

K, forgot the cost of the rebuild kit was that low. Depending on your schedule, i can bring the turbo up to CT and work on it for a bit. (Bar sounds good too :lol: )

The only thing I've been working on lately was the speedometer and the ecu, CEL is freaking me out. I'm close to the point of probably mocking up the stock harness just to get the evo ecu in and pass inspections :/

[Galanttuner10]

im busy this weekend but maybe before corona i can get a free weekend or night. def text me whenever.

[Galanttuner10]

get this kit BTW out of some of the kits i have seen and used i like this best

same here, i'll text you later in the week

i'll buy the kit soon as well, i think it's about 6 years since I bought the turbo; should probably get back to getting this done :TGC:

[Galanttuner10]

its best not to rush it and it will all work out. i may even have a surprise for you....

damnit, now you got me wondering.... :lol:

8G downpipe maybe? (complete guess lol)

[Galanttuner10]

haha i wish i could make a downpipe for you. it involves the turbo itself.

[beam514]

I'm pretty sure SPD_FRK has completed a conversion harness to run dual ECU's, OEM and Evo.

Hope he doesn't mind me posting the picture here.

[mrg7243]

Yeah he just did that one for a eclipse here in colorado

[run1206]

No problem beam. I'm actually hoping he made one for just a direct conversion; I'm manual so I don't need the galant ecu anymore. Would be great if one is made for the autos as well.

@chris: oooh, ok

Just let him know what you need, and he can probably get it done for you.
