its true there are lots of places, but they're normally a lot more expensive than that???

2200SXSilviaSavage18 Sept 2008, 20:08

This is what I've been up to the past few days... Been putting everything back together, replacing nuts and bolts, taking it easy and doing a proper job the first time around...

Put back the intake manifolds and also sanded them on the inside where it counts... Hopefully the flow will be a tiny bit better 😂

Sprayed everything I possibly could with some fresh enamel which will hopefully last...

The fuel rail with the injectors...

Installed the turbo at last with the oil lines and the 3 flanges for spacers...

Put the new spark plugs in... They're NGK BKR6E spark plugs gapped to 0.8 mm...

Gotta redo all the piping for air, blow-by, and mainly the simplification of those darn water pipes which I figured out a lekka way to make MUCH simpler 8) 😀

Then gotta attach the gear box to the engine and put it in the bay 😂
I dunno how we're gonna get that right though...

Looking topz man, engine bay gona be very blinged out 😀

RRiekertadmin18 Sept 2008, 21:35

yeah! looks awesome! love the anodized blue!

SSokar19 Sept 2008, 00:06

I dunno about that spacer idea on the turbo hey, but I'm curious to see how it works out.

RReeceZ26 Sept 2008, 11:42

Hey savage, let me know when you're up and running, looking at buying the Mr Turbo turbo, just wanted to know how it runs on the CA.

ddebeerd28 Sept 2008, 13:30

You might get some exhaust leak by the stacke flanges, but maybe it works 8)

2200SXSilviaSavage29 Sept 2008, 13:41

Yeah guys I'll let you know once it runs! 😕

I haven't posted for ages now cause I've been doing so much work on the car...

The engine's in...
The starter turns but nothing happens!
Checked the timing and it's on TDC
Will the air regulator on the body on the exhaust side have anything to do with this? I haven't connected it yet, cause I can't remember where each of the lines go 😕

There are 3 lines... Please can someone go check on their car and tell me where the 3 lines all go...
Thank you... Can't wait to get it started...
Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated too...

the 3 little pipes....

will this help?

Oh and remember to plug that little shiny thingy in at the filterbox in also the one thats on the top part of the filter box...

2200SXSilviaSavage29 Sept 2008, 15:15

Here's the pics of the motor going in and the progress up till now...

My sister's fiance helped us out... He drives a shweet Conquest RSI with a 4AGZE T3/T4 turbo motor...

Engine and gearbox in at the same time...]

The ali radiator and mountings we made up ourselves for the fans...

FPR in...

Got the pipe for the dump valve cut shorter and welded in the new place today...

Progress so far...

And now we're trying to start the thing and it won't start...
This is the solenoid valve that I would like to know where the 3 pipes from it go...

rratadmin29 Sept 2008, 15:31

Dude that is looking really good, a job well done.

As for solenoid valve thing one comes from the back of the intake next, FPR and other goes into the intake pipe after the maf, i think it is for boost cut or something

RRiekertadmin29 Sept 2008, 17:02

What kind of spray did you you use for the pulleys and and and....

vveecee29 Sept 2008, 19:05

WOW!

i didnt like the orange stuff, but at least you cant see much of it. the polished bits go really well with the blue silicone bits.

only thing is that those fans need to be flush mounted dude!

that flat bar wont do! it will work but it wont be near as effective! put them against the radiator, get some long skinny bolts with nuts and massive washers! then flush mount the bitches! 😉

2200SXSilviaSavage30 Sept 2008, 19:32

Shweet guys!!! Shots for all the comments...

I used engine enamel for all the spraying Reikert...

And I'll definately make a plan to flush those fans VC...

Thanx Rat for the 3 pipes! Now I know where they all go 😀

Guys! I just came back from a drive around the block in it and it's amazing! 😀 😀 😀 😀

Yesterday we had no fuel because I put the fuel pressure regulator before the fuel rail and not after it, so I sorted that out...

We got the engine started and the timing reasonably okay...

Then the stooopid clutch didn't wanna engage the pressure plate fully so we serviced the slave and master cylinders with new seals and the lot, but the problem still persisted.
So today I thought of replacing the arm of the slave cylinder that presses the fork in to a longer one... So we eventually got hold of a neat adjustable one for 50 bucks and it works like a charm! 😀

Then I went for a drive and I don't even put half throttle at about 2200 RPM and it's already showing 0.1 Bar on the boost gauge so it doesn't seem as lag is gonna be a problem at all 😀 It sounds amazing without the exhaust on with the turbo spool and all... Even though it sounds like an Isuzu bakkie 😂 But that'll be sorted when it goes for the down pipe this week...

Unfortunately I've got a huge oil leak 😢
I think it's coming from the sump where the liquid gasket seal is... Might be the power steering too... Will find out tomorrow...

RReeceZ30 Sept 2008, 21:50

Hey man, what boost r u running your Isuzu at 😂

2200SXSilviaSavage01 Oct 2008, 13:56

Still running the motor in so haven't even boosted more than 0.1 bar, but it will be tuned for max. 0.8 bar or when the injectors reach 80% duty cycle, whichever one comes first... lol

Just took another short drive around the block and I have to say that this turbo is awesome 😀

I just put my foot down to just before half throttle in 3rd gear and I saw it register 0.1 bar on the boost gauge at a mere 1500 RPM!!!!

We think the leak is power steering... Tomorrow it's going in for the down pipe and for the current exhaust to be connected...

RReeceZ01 Oct 2008, 14:29

Good stuff, hope you get your car 100%, waiting for some dyno figures 😉

2200SXSilviaSavage01 Oct 2008, 20:47

That's crazy VC! 😮

Does it work though? Cause I've only driven my car about 2km...
