I had to make a 1'3/8 aluminum spacer because the turbo was to close to the block because of the internal wastegate.

 

Now, that's something different... i think renate did the same thing.

So, even with that spacer... did you clear enough space for the stock rad fans still?

you can always fab the rod/mounts of the internal wastegate or even get a different one to make it work without the spacer. At least that's what i did on mine...

 

and thats the obx manifold, right? good to know, cause i bet the internally gated garrett gt turbos will have the same problems.

 

its the ss autocrome manifold...i rewelded the points where its known to crack also and added some extra strength with ss flat bar. and yes it still cleared the stock fans.....but they are seeing heat and melting a bit ill have to fix that

 

How's the auto tranny liking it so far?

How much is all of this costing you?
Looks nice man..

And what numbers are you expecting?

 

Very nice setup indeed!

Did you install it on your own? Are you going to tune it o a dyno?

well done!

 

cost???...havent realy added that up yet so ill get back to you..not very much though.

as for the auto tranny I hope it blows up so it gives me an excuse to get a 5 speed..that was suposed to be the first thing i was going to do when i bought the car. and it held up to me pounding a 75 shot of nitrous for 2 years and it wont die.....lol

and hp numbers not realy shure would like at least 200hp or more...time will tell


and the install was a collective between my buddys speed shop, need for speed custom auto, info from people on this site.. Thanks for all the help!!!! and myself.

 

I thought the ssautochrome turbo manifold was excellent value for $150 US.
installation was straightforward, I didn't need a spacer block to move the turbo away from the engine.

the manifold, that I replaced it with was from t4turbotiburon.
Nicer looking manifold, but I didn't get noticeable performance improvements.
It looks like the manifold that you see from Mitsubishi EVO cars.
My mechanic did advise, its got a stronger build and more suited for higher hp, but a loss on low end torque.

SuPaDuPa, if you want substanstial improvement on the turbo power.
Get a Ported cylinder head, I got a 60hp increase.

Before getting other parts like camshaft, intake manifold, throttle body etc.

 

Looks nice, you do know you need to recirculate that BOV. Also, does your car even idle?

 

What's the canister on the side of your valve cover? And why do you have your regulator on the driver side of the car?

You might wanna try relocating your battery, or getting a small Odyssey. And FAL fans will free up a TON of room in front of your turbo.

If you do ever get that SMT working, don't hesitate to crank it up to 10-12psi, and show us some dyno sheets with AFR's. I'd like to know if anyone has gotten it to work right above 240hp.
