#1900 - 'GOLFBALL' build - 2.4-AUTO-NITROUS.... Street car?

[Barnes]

Where the hell is your turbo oil supply tapped from?? How is your oil filter not catching this stuff first?!?! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/uhh.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/uhh.gif

 

Question about that intercooler. I never understood the side to side flow IC's with the hot side and the cold side sharing an endtank. Is it divided internally? I hope so otherwise the air could bypass the core altogether. Before anyone says "Of course it would have to be!" I have actually seen some Ebay stuff like that.

 

Just checked it out from when you first got it to how its evolved from there and looks like its coming along great!! Best of luck with the build!

the oil feed is coming off the oil filter housing.

if you figure out how the inline filter isn't catching everything and i still blew up the turbo i will pay you 500 dollars /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Which port on the oil filter housing is it coming from?

The inlet and outlet end tanks are siamesed together on one side but they are internally divided. The air ends up making two passes through the core. That's the way it is supposed to work at least. I hope even with the often shoddy craftsmanship of ebay stuff they wouldn't overlook something like that.

started cleaning up the engine bay
HUGE UPDATE: got a ton done but haven't been keeping this thread updated....

drained and yanked the ol' fuel tank out. its freakin nassssty

heres the new one to replace it. 16 gallon.

then all my fuel fittings and line came in.

got a little more done....

FIRST OFF...

im super pissed the paint i got is wayyy of in color. its called "WINTER WHITE" come on now. its gotta be white. nope how about sky blue.

HOW LAME. im working with the people i bought the paint from to try and get a refund.

also got the motor back from the machine shop.

got more done....

dont hate... i went for function way over form.... -12 oil drain... no more blowing turbo's for me.

v-band for the WIN....

got my down pipe fabbed

then said... why not recirculate the wastegate.

started gettin ready to slap the trans on it...

then remember i wanna weld my center diff and paint the trans before i put it on... so that ended it for the night.

so... didn't go to work and got a ton done today....

started by acid washing and power washing my trans...

then quick coat of paint...

then decided i to weld up my center diff.

not pretty but it will do the trick

threw it all back together... and put the trans back on the motor

stabbed it back into the car

finished up my down pipe for now...

wired in the new plugs for the big ol' injectors (twisted, soldered, then heat shrunk)

got my fittings all sorted for my fuel pumps... not pretty but it works (had ordered cooler fittings but they were outta stock and refunded and cancelled my order)

got my fuel feed lines and fuel pumps and inline filter all hooked up (still gotta run my return)

had midwest hose make me some new lines for my new oil cooler, got it put on...

then at the end of the night my car gave me a nice thanks for the hard work and broke the v-band when i was putting the down pipe on.

Way to go man. This thing looks like it could be pretty nasty. Looking forward to vids of it in action.

A lot of time and effort is being put in this build. Nice job!

 

[Boostdtalon]

Love what you've done keep up the good work!

 

[GolfBall]

then i mounted my gauges and installed the panel.

oh and....

18 PSI FEELS GREAT !!!!! BRING ON 30 /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

That head is junk, now that you ported the floors of the exhaust ports.

You should use our image hosting so that your pics don't get locked out.

 

[GolfBall]

yeah sorry about that...

i wasn't paying attention and exceeded my limit on photobucket. it will reset in a few days and be fine again.

 

So what turbo setup did you go with I just saw mention of FP but nothing else...

 

[GolfBall]

precision 6262 - billet non ball bearing.

got some more done...

did a boost leak test but first had to make a 4 inch boost leak tester.

then simply clamps to the turbo

then to clean up my vacuum system i was gonna buy a distribution block and then saw they were 50 bucks and said nope.... so i made one.

made a catch can the other day after work... its gonna be a real one to...

the baffle inside is where the vacuum port is to keep oil from gettin to it.

obviously none of the welds are cleaned up in this pics and it still doesn't have the vacuum port on but you get the idea.

cleaned up a bit and with my vacuum port added onto it.

got some more E-85... hehe..

NO officer... this isn't a race car, its totally street legal.

pulled my diff to weld it up...

19 years and 175,000 miles and it looks brand new...

finished the diff and got it all back together.

 

[onesickcrx]

You got a hell of a setup but why 3 bolt rear and axels?

 

Nice choice on the turbo my boy runs the same one on his 10sec DD evo the DBB version though.
Out of curiosty though why didnt you mount the fuel cell under the car or at least do something like this


or

 

[Brianawd]

Wow. All that work to weld up a 3bolt rear /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif once you brake a axle you fu-ked. You will never get the chunk of axle out. You would have been better off just putting in a 4bolt now.
