Lucifer gets new Turbo setup!

[william]

It was touching the rack. I've got that sorted and it's much better. It's got more vibration than stock but it's not bad.

Better make a tow bar just in case I need to tow you back home. Lol or you need to tow me. This is the most unprepared I've been for a big trip
Still haven't drove mine aside from around the block.

How is it doing now? You said you didnt like the hard trans mount. Is the vibrations really that bad?

Last night i cleaned the garage up a bit. Got all my tools picked up and put back in place. I did start the car up again to make sure it worked again and not that one lucky time. It fired right up. Tonight ill cut out all the butt conncetors i put in place and solder/ shrink wrap the few wires i had to fix.

My to do list is:
1. solder the wires together.
2. sand a couple spots down and mount ground wires.
3. make battery tray.
4. mount battery tray.
5. make vaf box mounts.
6. make intake pipe. (gonna make a nice hard line with a rubber coupling to the vaf box. Vaf with be soft mounted also)
7. hook BOV back up. I will be replacing it for a forge diverter valve one i get time. For now im gonna stick to what i have and hope i can control boost psi
8. hook up water meth kit
9. hook up aem wideband
10. install axles (int shaft already in place)
11. install headlights.
12. dial in suspension settings.
13. mount seats.
14. make harness bar.
15. remove rear seat supports.
16. make rear flat side panels and floor.

Clearly i wont have this all done by madness but im gonna try to get as much done as i can. The small stuff like rear panels and other non operational BS can wait. Car simply just must run good until i get home from madness.

I will have a ram horn style manifold built with external gate. I will have the turbo moved around a bit so that i can hook up ac and get the radiator in there better. The setup now is just a temp deal until i have better time to redo it all.

[Flyin4stroke]

External wastegate works so much better.

[mikemounlio]

I'm gonna have a new manifold built once funds climb again. For now I hope this works.

[Festiver]

I hope so. The new turbo is said to be good up to 25psi. I have seen others run them up to 20 with no problems. If the wastegate is big enough i should have plenty of power to keep me happy. It it still boost creeps ill have to remake the exhaust and go back to a full stock style exhaust. Ill do it if i have to. I just want to make sure its trully needed.

Just have a large enough waste gate in my opinion controlling boost creep with restricting exhaust is silly id suggest doing an external wastegate if your internal does pan out

Oh man! I wonder if that will remedy your issues

Lucifer is alive once again. I got it together just enough to hear it fire up. Intake was just kinda there so no idle. It ran like crap but it ran. I will be very busy this week getting it all right but at least i have an idea of what im doing now (haha jk just got lucky).

I will upload a quick video to youtube and facebook and post the links here in a bit.

SUPER EXCITED RIGHT NOW.

The radiator is mounted and hooked up. All the wiring is done. I need to go over all the grounds tho (no spark). I also need to make a new intake. The new radiator hoses get in the way of the old stock plastic intake tube. Ill try my best to make one from exhaust pipe. It doesnt have to be pretty it just needs to work.

I thought madness was this weekend coming up. I was freaking out last night. Im glad i have a bit more time to get ready.

[mikemounlio]

New b6t harness is hooked up. I now have to run to town to go get food and hang out with the wife but ill be back out there tonight. I wont be ready to turn the key tonight but i should have it going tomorrow. Gotta do some small stuff like finish mounting the radiator, mount the battery, mount the vaf box.

Wiring is a wreck! As long as it works i dont care at this point. When i get time to go to the MS system ill make sure to wire tuck it all as much as i can. Later this year or maybe start of next year im gonna have to pull the engine bay apart and clean t and paint it right. Looks like poo right now.

anyway im getting very close now!

[mikemounlio]

exhaust is built! Looks like trash but it might get me by. I have gotten much better at welding lately so when i remake the exhaust i think i can do 10x better.

My spot welds were way way to heavy. It made everything go to crap. Once i got the spot welds down i moved on to doing circles. I have now gotten that down. My newest welds look rather good for being flux core and exhaust pipe. So i now move on to getting the new wiring harness hooked up. I pulled my old harness off and will replace with my other harness that is not cut up. Lots to do so i gotta get busy.
