you need a oem one? You could just order a 6G72 gasket. They should be the same part
I suppose.. is the 6g72 the same bore as the 74 tb?
The 72TB is 65mm & the 74TB is 68mm i believe
The 72 tb gasket is smaller than the 74's opening. You would want the 74's gasket in order to match the bore of the 74 tb.
sweet^ you wouldn't happen to have the part number for it? or should I just order one for the 04 diamante?
you will run into problems if you do not use the 74 gasket. not only the bore size but the cuts are different and if not used the tb will leak
hmm, maybe Ill just make one. How has everyone that had a custom down pipe done, get there car to exhuast shop? bolt the turbo on, hook everything up? Or drive there, unbolt everything on the car, and then put the turbo on and then let them do their magic?
I mocked mine up on the car and just tack welded it together, then brought the tubing to the shop to be tig welded
oh well I don't have a welder lol
Invest in one, you dont need anything fancy. I use an astropower 130 which is a plug and play 110v mig welder w/shielding gas. You can buy a complete setup used from craiglist for about $300 sometimes even less.
oops I guess I lied :P
I would say just order one on rockauto
edit: the TB gasket, that is
ok gotta a couple questions, whats the best area to put a t in for the BOV, between the TB and manifold, on the green or yellow vac lines?
for the oil catch can, ideal installation is in between the PVC valve and mani right?
also for the breather hole on the valve cover, the evo intercooler piping doesn't have a nipple on it to run in back into the intake pipe like a CAI does, obviously cuz its turbo, so can I get a way with using just a filter on that? or do i have to put a nipple on the intake pipe suction side of the turbo? just need those things cleared up for me
Leave the PCV alone, run the breather from the valve cover to the catch can and the catch can back into the intake before the turbo. You need to put a nipple on the intake pipe suction side. You could just vent the valve cover to the catch can then vent the catch can to atmosphere. I actually need to put a PCV back on my car because my oil gets way too dirty from excess fuel since there is no crankcase vacuum when the car isnt in boost.
ok gotta ya
ok so this would be the correct way to hook a BOV yes? anything after the TB plate on the mani side so that way when it closes its on the vac side, in turn actuating the valve in the BOV to release the pressure on the intercooler pipe yes?

So I looked at the bottom front support of the car, where the crossmember bolts onto, and its flat on the front, but sort of dishes behind, so I got to thinking, would self tapping screws or bolts be enough to hold the intercooler? or are people just sending a bolt through and through and tightning with a nut on the other side?
Thats what I did. My intercooler is actually mounted to the back of the crash bar. I drilled two holes about 3/4" in the front of the bar all the way thru to the back, then I opened up the front holes to about 1" so I can get the a socket on an extension through there to tighten the bolt.
Ok so I'm getting ready to hook everything up, but I got to looking at a map, and I was curious how can I make this safer, or better, because to me I don't think that that map for fuel should be that rich. Bear with me here as I have never tuned before in my life, but if I take everything slow it should be ok, but would this be decent enough for a daily driver?

ECUFlash is like chinese to me. I've always used a standalone so I dont have much experience with that. SPD FRK and Deeznuts would probably be better at answering this.
bummer... maybe someone shall chime in then... Hey thought, 2 steps colder spark plugs should do right? I had everything written down at one point, and put it in the special place, where I put my important turbo part, and now I can't find any of them lol
Talk to SPD_FRK, Deez, or Isuario on the tuning. SPD is doing tuning and isuarios is tuning deez's car, andhelp with the deffinition files. Also i would start by reading all the tuning stuff over on Evom. Get a notebook cause its alot to grasp. I started my own tuning notebook, with stuff i have found interesting, i would like to do, and stuff i struggled with understadning.
You should use a 7 or 8 heat range for turbo, if thats what your asking.
Well there is a youtube video series from evom that I've been checking out, but just need to know some of the basic basics lol. I know the ideal afr is 14.7 BUT there is also tons of factors, load, boost pressue and rpm, all rolled into one yeah know? just a lot of ish
yep thats what I was asking.
Too much writing where's the pics! Lol
Yeah I know I was like holy shiznit... I just gotta sit down and do it lol
in time man in time, heck you got a preview lol, just to busy right now to post pics up and explain everything maybe tuesday I wil update this with some pics haha
I dont know if I can get away with it or not, but the power steering cooler... can I remove it? I don't do autocross, so I won't be heating up the fluid that quick... just a thought
Yes.
As long as you dont live in a place where its super super hot and do a lot of constant turning, you'll be fine. I havent had a cooler in 5 years. However, I do plan on adding one and putting it in a more convenient location. I know your moving it to gain access for your intercooler. Here is what I did. I removed the cooler. That vertical support bar that goes from the hood latch to the bottom of the radiator support that has the bolt going thru it on the bottom, I removed the bolt and cut that support bar flush with the top of the lower radiator support then welded the bar to the top of the lower support. Then the place where the bolt used to go it, I cut that out. Then I cut about 1/2" off the front of the lower crossmember (the one the front motor mount bolts to) it kinda sticks out further than it needs to, I cut that extra front 1/2" off and then I had enough clearance to run a 3" intercooler. If you end up using the dolphin bumper you can probably get a 3.5 or even a 4" in there.
all i did was take that bolt out and weld up the hole and that "bracket" that goes to the hood latch to the lower part of the rad support and viola, i fit a 4" intercooler in there. i did have to cut the bumper a bit but ill get over it.
Meesa wants picicatures lol
Thanks for the explanation, it gets around 90 here so I stuck with it, I just just squeezed it in lol, not really there is alot of room with the right intercooler and bumper combo. At first I was going to cut the U shae at the end of the cooler where it does the 180 to go back to hoses, then I was thinking about taking it off, lol and yeah I just left it on there for peace of mind.
Yeah I tried fitting the cooler with the stock bumper, didn't mind cutting that one, but i really didn't want to cut the new styleQuote:

ok friday I got some 3m Dinoc. Wasn't really impressed with the work-ability... lol needless to say I have a new found respect for vinyl people lol
this thing to me 4 hours, I have never been so mad at a sticker!

Today I bolted the intercooler up, turbo, feed lines and everything so I can have them adjust the evo icp so it lines up nice.

and I ended the night on a good stroke lol oil pan is off, I have to drill it for the return line, and whats better, above the baffle, or below? I was thinking above so that it drains quick, but IDK if its going to hit a rod or the crank, so Maybe below the baffle? IDK
I gotta look for pics of the drain line. I did an oil pan for Drew a few years ago with a drain line for the turbo, I had my engine machine shop locate the drain on the pan in the right place, he actually test fit it on a 4G64 bottom end he had just built at the shop to make sure nothing hit it.
boom!!! found it.....

^AWESOME! That saves a TON of Time! Thanks man!
Loving the pics and all. Thanks for digging up that thread Brian.
Looking forward to seeing it all together.
Thanks man hopefully I can tune by friday :) AHAHA I so excited lol, but on the down side, drove like 1/2 mile to get the intercooler fabbed up, turns out his guy called in sick so he had to do stuff... so tommorrow.... blah blah blah... but the g sounds bad ass lol I can here the turbo spool over the exhaust though, which is only because I have a foot of old exhuast off the O2 housing
What's the easiest way to get to the ecu? Quick and painless?
