cs xtreme · 03-31-2008, 09:20 AM

the 03

cs xtreme · 04-15-2008, 01:43 PM

ok. update.
my girlfriend had our baby last tuesday. 7lbs 1.5 oz
its a girl and her name is nevaeh.
so thats why no recent updates.
Just herd my custom spring seats are done and I should have the head back this week sometime.
after that its custom length pushrods and then ready for install.
I bought a breather tank/oil catch can. I noticed last time my breather filter liked to spit oil.
so trying to stop that with the new setup.
got the cooling lines figured out for the turbo. i also got my custom pan done.
should hold about a qt more than stock.
it also has a 10an drain fitting for the turbo instead of using the fill tube.
I also installed a oil temp gauge to keep things in check

Chris0nllyn · 04-15-2008, 04:19 PM

congrats on the baby!

halfofav-8 · 04-15-2008, 06:59 PM

***What?*** · 04-16-2008, 12:48 AM

Congrats on the baby, she got herself a great dad, I take it ur next project is a turboed go-kart when her feet reachs the pedal lol

On sidenote, your project build is awesome, can you get them on flow bench of compare stock to current? And the specs as well

dart_06 · 04-16-2008, 01:01 AM

congrats on the baby!!!!

Gearstix · 04-16-2008, 01:22 AM

Congrats on the kid.
Figured this would be a thread about somebody and there truck starting then quitting running.
I hope to boost my 2.2 when I get money and stuff, its got 139,000miles (222,000kms) so I'd be in for a rebuild aswell.
Motor looks sharp.
I know its no V8 but the numbers you guys are seeing are pretty good imo!
All the paint is coming off my valve cover, so I might get it coated or pain it myself.
What would I have do to my engine to run 10-15psi? I'm on OBDI and considering a Wait4Me Perf. tuned computer if I boost.

Nice! Are you using a ebay turbo or a brand name one? (NVM, just saw pics)
I've been trying to find a good used name brand turbo, lost a mitsubishi td05h by a dollar on ebay yesterday

Only thing I can't grasp on the turbo setup is what I need to do on my OBDI for fuel management.
You make the header yourself?
Powdercoated valvecover?

550 without
its a real garrett too

header is made by me
my turbo project thread has pics of all that.
front cover and valve cover were polished then powdercoated candy blue

Gearstix · 04-26-2008, 08:29 PM

I've been trying to find a turbo at a decent price.
I've got to do something with my valvecover cause the paint is coming off it in places, looks like poo IMO.
You have the newer 2.2 though.
Looks great man, these turbo builds are great.
You should get your alternator case powdercoated blue.
