my first build and 6 bolt swap

[woooop]

Ok so I know now that I can no longer run my oil feed line for the 16g of the oil filter housing due to the higher oil presure.Now I have to get a feed line so I can run it from the head but im still worred about if the pressure being to high but my good friend at PINA is helping me out so ill figure it out.

People run too high of oil pressure to turbos all the time after rebuilds and wonder why the turbo is failing. I would never install a turbo without a flow orifice, new engine or old. It's a 5 dollars safty item. I actually have a second electric oil pressure gauge that is getting plumbed in before the turbo during the off season on the Evo. I am very cautious of oil pressures since the car is almost at redline for a half hour at a time.

Very nice build by the way. I hope to see you out at meets or the track.

Thanks you guys, i didnt think anyone was watching my build. Updizate! Droped some weight bo ya ! Not like i need windshield wipers in washington. It dont rain here! Found out that one of my water lines on the turbo was leaking so off it comes. Im gunna hit the meet at pina so this stuff has to get done.

I know i need to fix the a on that sticker! I will, stickers add horse power more the better

Ok did a few runs and way too high of oil pressure now with the thicker oil. I think i'm going to put back in the 10w30. The oil pressure felt better there. I fixed the water leak on the turbo, and now with the wiper motor gone I think I want to hide a zex kit up there.

Update: I have front new suspension set up comming soon, just wating for the fedex man to get here!So in the mean time i'm working on a new one. Just got the head back from my buddy that ports race heads for a living. He fow benched it, undercut the valves,3 angle valve job, did bowl work and more.

 

[woooop]

Fedex man came today

 

[woooop]

Ok so I got all my lifters bled, and installed 8 valves but ran out of locks so I need to order more. Also got my koni's for my car so I'll be tearing up my front end and powder coating the whole front suspension soon.

Where did you buy the intake tube?

 

[woooop]

X2!.

Looks like wrinkled grey powdercoat

 

[woooop]

Yes it is wrinkled grey. So I dont like the FP intake because now i have to get a bigger turbo, the 16g looks to small compaired to the intake.I made a FIAV block off plate at work for the 1g tb thats going on the wifes stroker.

 

[woooop]

I can make FIAV block off plates and any other plate you may need for cheep because of my work.One of the parks of my job, free metal and lots of free time.

 

[woooop]

I need to sand it alittle in some areas and polish it. I got the font suspension almost torn apart for the new shocks and bushings. I'm going to powdercoat all the pieces. I also tore apart the calipers to have them powdercoated to.

 

[woooop]

A friend came over and gave me some free goodies!

 

[woooop]

Struts are all most ready.

 

[woooop]

New shock bushings. Hope my ride not to stiff

I need a new lower balljoint , can i just buy the balljoint ? And where? Has anyone used a northstar adjustable balljoint from shucks?

 

[turbosax2]

You can't replace the lower balljoints on our cars. You can buy a new boot for it if the boot just got torn (although the balljoint may also be damaged), but not the whole balljoint. The only solution is to replace the whole arm.

 

[woooop]

ya i was just going to replace it for reasurance but it looks ok but i need to fix my camber and i was going to use spc adjustable balljoints but than i found these While we find your parts, please enter your ZIP Code at PartsAmerica.com are these any good?

 

[woooop]

I think im just guna go with the SPC balljoints, where is the cheepest place to buy them on the net ?
