thats the old manifold i was using. if you dont have ac just flip the turbo around

 

Thats the thing, i wanna keep my ac, so i have to keep it facing that way, and then ill just get a tight bend made and then right after the ac pump, ill flare it out.

 

Well alot has happened, i haven posted recently. i got my new exhaust on, i was originally gonna have one made by the muffler shop, but he wanted to rape me on the pricing, so i said, what the heck, i have an ebay exhaust on there, and it is still fine, so i bought a 3 inch ebay exhaust, with the monster fart can lol. its is extremely loud right now, so i am running it with the silencer in, and it sounds ok, when i get closer to putting in the turbo, i will have the fart can cut off, and a real muffler put on.

I also got my fuel pump, a walbro 255lph HP, i never knew how small they were lol, i was like wtf, what is this thing gonna do?

I got the oil feed and return kit from steathmode, but stupid me, i orded it for a t3 turbo, and not a new t3 turbo, aparently the new turbos have bigger inlets, and the bolts on the outlet are bigger in diameter. so i went and bought an adapter, and some new bolts.

Gauges came in yesterday, i got the cheep glow shift stuff from ebay, i know they arnt the most acurate things in the world, but they will work for now. I already got he pillar and gauges in, and wired for power and dimmer, but i only have the boost and A/F gauge wired to the sensors, ill put the oil pressure gauge in today.

I also painted the vc, i think it came out really good, expecially after i baked it in the oven. An the clear coat looks great too.

I bought a wastegate today, a turbonetics deltagate, its used, but it looks to be in good condition.

I will get some pictures up with all this tonight.

 

Looks like your build is coming along nicely... Looking forward to the end result bro.

 

iv heard of some of those deltagates boost creaping like crazy

 

yeah, i kinda found that out after the fact, we will see, if it does, then no biggie, ill get another one, and sell it.

Ok, here is a good question, i am planing on using some dsm 440's, but i could all so get some 700's out of an rx7, they fit, and are low impedance, but, my one question is whill the car run alright if i dont use the injectors to their potental, like i plan on 250 - 300, are these too big?

 

Car will run fine with the 700's set to 300ish. But of course ur tuning it.
great build i love my built d16

 

they will run just fine and still get good gas mileage if the tuner knows what hes doing

 

well that is good to hear, i will probably be getting tuned either at http://www.trickengineering.com/, or here http://www.tmtuning.net/ both of them come recomended.

here are some pics of the goodies i got,

I ordered the DP flange, wastegate flange, piping, flex pipe, and muffler from summit. I amgoing to make my own DP, it will be a lil different, cause i amgoing to use the pie cut bend method to make a tight enough bend to clear the ac compressor, i will cut and tack it my self, and then have the shop weld it.

Here is the thread on how to make pie cut bends, pretty cool stuff
