[festyfreak39]

posted pics on my bulid thread but i thought id post a new thread so that more people might see it and try jump on the sohc turbo bandwagon


thanks to sasquatch for the idea!!!!!!!! hope there is no shame in copying

the plans are: t25 turbo, aspire manifold, power xs silvia turbo elbow, custom downpipe, and some form of fuel managment which i havnt decided on yet



enjoy:

yahhh i know there is still lots of work to be done.

[leapin]

looks good!

[iceracerdude]

Lot of work huh?

[festyfreak39]

well to be honest to get it sitting the way it is RIGHT now was really easy... i just got the aspire manifold, cut it, and pretty much bolted everything together took me about a couple hours


i still need to weld a flange to the aspire manifold and make 2 more peices that attatch to the turbo, and a downpipe..

my return line is done, my feed line is done... now water lines now as we speak in need to figure out where to get them.

... now water lines now as we speak in need to figure out where to get them.

That's easy, you can put a ferrel and a compression fitting on that little tube that comes out of the head*, then cut the bead off the other little tube on the water pipe and put a ferrel and a compression fitting on that. Now put brass hose barbs on those compression fittings and then you've got your in and out. *That little pipe that comes out of the head was a little suspect to me because it's just a press fit, so I just pulled it out with some pliers and tapped the hole with a 1/8" npt pipe tap and put the hose barb directly into the head. Also used reuseable/swivel type -an fittings at the turbo.
The water pipe is a bit rusty and the second fitting is obscured by the top hose in the first pic. I used a 90 degree fitting on the water pipe to point at the turbo.
If you look close you can see what I described:

thanks iceracer dude thats perfect doesnt look bad at all to do either

and the downpipe can be found on ebay really easily, its for a 180sx and there are ton laying around.

just got my cartech FMU friday... going to make the downpipe tomo and try figure out how my fmu works should be fun

[festyfreak39]

has anyone dealt with a cartech fmu before? im not entirely sure which one i bought lol. it also has one vacum port line which i know where to hook up but there is one vaccum port for a check valve..

where can i get a check valve that can fit onto a vacum line? does anyone have experience with these cartech units?

I sure hope those zip-ties are just temporary
