What I Got Up To Over Easter Weekend.

[drewr33]

Well first off. Happy Easter SAU members!

Well what have you got up to over the long weekend?? For the last two days ive been under my car installing some new goodies.

New mods done:

Just Jap type 2 FMIC kit.

Stainless twin dump and front pipe 3inch (from Batmbl)

Highflow Catco Cat

Just jap strut brace

--Boost now set at 10psi--

Other parts to put in are:

Bosch 040 fuel pump

Boost gauge

More pics.

[crack]

looks like the fmic fits good. did you have to trim the fan blades?

[drewr33]

Yeh the kit fitted pretty good. I didnt have to trim the blades but.

What I have to do is.

Trim bumper frame at the back.

Trim the front bar (as you can see)

Drill one hole for the piping.

One thing i would like the kit to have is a pipe from the turbo outlet, that is better then the stock one.

The just jap kit uses the stock pipe for this.

Oh I havent got any pics of the exhaust but its was pretty simple to install (once the old rusty one was off).

I'm thinking about getting one of these justjap intercoolers too. Any problems with it so far? Probably a bit early to be asking!

Would you recommend one of these???

[drewr33]

Does anyone know where the best place to put the boost controller on to. It used togo on the stock pipe out of the turbo but the JJ kit doesnt have a nipple on it. ATM I "T" ed it off at the BOV but its not working properly. I think the BOV effects it.

[drewr33]

Well sofar its fine. The kit looks like good quality and is all polished up. You can feel the difference after a good thrash in the temps of the piping and the end tanks.

Just 2 things I would like to change.

1. Put a nipple on the out pipe of the IC for the boost controller

2. Ditch the stock out pipe from the turbo and replace with a manrel bent Stainless one.

1. the boost controller goes in between the hose from the actuator to the outlet of the turbo(compressor cover where says garett ,nothing to do with blow off valve ,

2. why ?

[drewr33]

I know it goes on the outlet of the turbo but there is no nipple to attach it to.

If you have a look at the pipe out of the turbo its got a realy bad bend 90degrees. A larger manrel bend here wouldn't hurt

run the boost control from the plenum.. will give less drop in the positive pressure reading.

the r33 turbo does not have the outlet on the turbo itself.

the r32 turbo has this outlet..

Would it be a problem if its connected with the BOV

Like in this pic?

[Craved]

wouldn't see an issue with it, just make sure it seals REALLY well .. use cable ties on your joins and should be fine..

check all teh hoses for any cracks, or just use new ones.. cos if it leaks your boost will spike and you'll have big issues..

[drewr33]

Ok cool thanks mate.

One thing ive noticed with the BOV is at no boost it doesnt go off anymore.. you just here the turbo flutter sound. But when on boost it does the normal sound. Im guessing its due to the new intercooler.

[Craved]

that all said, you could take that top pipe to a welders shop with a brass fitting from enzed and get them to braize it where you want it..

not hard to do, but not really pretty either.

[Wink]

I've got mine mounted that way too:

Performs great, no issues.

lossen your BOV off if you want it to go off at lower pressures...

that said.. it wouldn't have much pressure in the pipe work with a STD turbo and off boost

I was actually getting sick of the sound of the BOV at low boost.... Like the sound of the flutter now

[smurf80]
