turbo question....5 speed swap question

**soltero112** · 09-22-2004, 12:18 PM

ok, well i was planning on boosting my car this weekened but i think im missing something.....this is what i have.......please correct me if im wrong on anything ....also, do you think its going to be an issue that the turbo it on the other side????

evo7 manifold
evo7 o2 sensor houseing
evo7 16g
antilag bov with line that bolts to the manifold via banjo bolts
300gt vr4 intertcooler piping
FMIC
2g oil pan
16g oil return
i also have a 2g bov elbow but i dont know if i need it
....i need manifold gasket, oil feed and water lines....n e one know where to get it at a good price of have one they need to get rid of?

im going to modify my downpipe..(i have a welder)
i also need to fix the nipple on the wastegate actuator
and im confused about the whole antilag thing.....after looking at an evo8....which to my understanding and looks to be the same thing......i think i still need a bov...??????cause the line was connected to it but i think their was a bov on the pipe as well.....the "antilag bov" looks like it
just dumps into the intake pipe..???im super confused about it

and im going to swap my 5 speed from the old g.......all i need to do is :

drop tranny
put clutch and flywheel on......
hang clutch
attach everything back..........thats what it seems like from reading the diy seth put
oh yeah...and wire a relay.......but to what?

any help would be awsome,,,thx

Manifold gasket you can get from anywhere (dealer, even Autozone or those places), RRE makes an oil feed line for the 16g (www.roadraceengineering.com), and the water lines a junkyard or dealer.

No clue what this 'manifold BOV' is... anyone else?

The turbo is going to face the drivers side correct? Not sure where you're going to fit the intake over there... the IC piping shouldn't be an issue assuming you have the right bends (no clue what the 3000GT pipes look like). Also not sure where the downpipe/O2 housing end up in regards to the exhaust... probably going to have to do some hacking.

Do you have the turbo/manifold/O2 assembled? Any pics?

thanks. anyone else can please fill me in on the other questions

brandon · 09-23-2004, 01:48 PM

So what about my questions?? haha

**soltero112** · 09-23-2004, 03:00 PM

this is the manifold thing i was talking about.......in other pics o still saw a bov in addition to it...thats why i am confused..

Trying to see what you mean by this second BOV, but I can't really tell from that pic what it is.

**soltero112** · 09-26-2004, 07:38 PM

please please.....help me out.....all i nhave to do is put this shit in.....and by the way.....n e ideas if the turbo hits the dipstick when i put it in........cut it off..

...can i bend it........please help a brother boost the whuup

**Hodgson316** · 09-26-2004, 09:50 PM

yeah i see only one BOV in that pic, lol... On the evo8 pic it looks like there is a line running from the BOV, to the ex. manifold, but I'm not too sure... :?

When I put my 4g63t, I couldnt get my 02 housing off to swap it with my Evo 3 housing because the dipstick was in the way. I just bent it slightly making sure it didnt crimp any of the line.

So you are still going to try to put the filter on the driver side like the evo? I dont see that working out very easily. Id say just sell the Evo manifold and BOv. They pose to be bigger problems than what its worth. You can pick up an Evo3 exhaust manifold for $180 and new 1g BOV for $70. Im sure you can get at least that in your Evo 8 parts.

I just dont see enough room over in the driverside area, power steering pump, alternator, power steering lines, timing belt, all in the way. the BOV has to be vented back to the intake tube as well and the bov will have to be on the other side of the engine bay, so that would be a very long dump which would create more lag.

Yep, that's exactly what I was thinking...

recirc wouldn't be required with a blow through setup with a MAFT and 3" GM MAF.

**seth98esT** · 09-27-2004, 01:56 PM

Yes but I didnt think he was using a GM Maf setup.

**soltero112** · 09-27-2004, 10:12 PM

wtf????

**seth98esT** · 09-27-2004, 10:20 PM

I dont know much about the evo antilag bov cept it dumps back into the exhaust mani

**soltero112** · 09-28-2004, 10:41 AM

well all that that bov line carries is air....so i can cut it and reattach it with silicon hose right?

and do i need injectors......or is it a must...cause i have to buy them if so
