You could find a happy medium by running the EVO III 16g with the larger FP 8cm turbine housing. This would give you some more top end to play with :D You can also upgrade the turbine completely and go with the MHI TD06 or TD06H inside the 8cm housing.

There are several factors that can contribute to a slow spooling turbo. The BEP DSM bolt-on turbine housing should hit 20+ PSI by 5000 RPM with the HX40 Pro no problem. Here are a few things to check:I know you said you did a boost leak test, but I would try it again with the engine in 4...

Excellent work on this project! I have been following along over the past year(s) and I must say, the execution and final interface is of professional quality. :thumb:There might be an excellent application for this in the Aerocharger turbo systems as well.Any ideas on initial pricing?

Sorry to hear about your misfortunes. Another thing is that the bearings could have been installed improperly. Each crank bearing has two sections, each different. The bottom half with an oil hole, the top half without. If the shop installed the wrong two half's, each WITHOUT an oil hole...

Thank you for that useful post... :banghead: These are custom units, as in there is no link to them.... that's why I said check out their site (for a phone # or email address) or call them.Here is the Vender announcement for their "Hot Kits", although this particular one is for the 4 bolt...

Stock VBand vs the Weld on VBand adapter from ATP Turbo:

The VBand on my HX40 sitting here in front of me at work measures 3.999" at the largest OD of the actual VBand mating flange. The exit at the turbine housing is 2.585", and then tapers to that 3.999" measurement. What I'm going to do is cut off the factory VBand section, and weld on my own...

MlAP Performance makes V-Band O2 housings for any setup. Check their website, or give them a call :thumb:They said they could do it in a past Vendor announcement when they introduced their "Hot Kits".

It appears your gague is a NARROWBAND O2 sensor gague, which displays the AFR value the factory narrowband O2 sensor is indicating. It oscillates between rich and lean because the car's ECU uses this sensors' information to fuel the car in its "closed loop" portion of the fuel curve. This is...

Best quality to least: Innovate MTX-L Innovate LC1 AEMI tune with all 3 of these systems on a day to day basis for my job.The innovates 0-5V analog output signal is actually 0.5V to 4.5V. This is actually nice because when the sensor craps out, the system clamps this output voltage...

Very cool detailed information! The animation of the engine processes make perfect sense! Nice find :D

I've been bead blasting my plugs for 15+ years with zero problems. This is on air and water cooled 2 stroke MX bikes, 2 stroke sleds and so on...I've always been skeptical of material embedding itself in the white insulator part of the plug, but never actually encountered such a case. Make...

To me it would all depend on my overall goals for the vehicle. Is this something you plan on keeping for an extended period of time, or is this your only vehicle ie. DD?If you plan on auto-x or road racing, I would stick with the EVO, as its an easier car to click off faster times, meaning it...

I second this! I personally think the HX35 platform will be VERY competitive in road race, preferably with a proper twin scroll setup, and possibly that progressive "spool-up" device I've seen lurking in this forum :sneaky:. Either way, put the HOLSET in ROAD RACE! :D

The gas station I used to work at 10+ years ago used to keep exactly 30 days worth, then cycle the taps back through. Its always worth a shot to check! :rocks:

SS studs + Aluminum cylinder head + Heat = Bad Galvanic Corrosion.After time, the studs will weld themselves into the head making them impossible to remove.I drilled and tapped my head for plain steel socket head set screws in a 10x1.25 size. I can still remove them from the head by...

I'm about to install my HX40 Pro and I love the idea of a by-passed oil feed line, but I have one question that might help clear things up in my head. The line with the silver fitting is the restricted line (with drilled out set screw) while the line with the black fitting goes directly to the...

The resistance of your injector + resistor pack determines the amount of current your injector driver will consume. With higher the current, the injector will open faster (more energy per unit time), however you are now running the injectors on the ragged edge of what the factory drivers can...

Another huge benefit for using these turbos on snowmobilles, ATV's and such is that they have a SEALED center section, meaning you don't plub oil or coolant to this turbo! This makes it so that you can mount the turbo any way you please. If you think about it, a turbo snomobille is in a...

Bosch wideband sensors are specified to operate between certain temperatures, pressures and vibration limits.The common Bosch LSU 4.2 and 4.9 sensors are designed to operate at an exhaust temperature <= 930 deg C (operating) and 1030 deg C (intermitent maxium), Exhaust pressure <= 4 bar...

My mistake, by "EGT" I meant "EGR". Its common to hook extra sensors up to the stock ECU using this input, most common with DSMLink users. If your hooking a different then stock sensor up, in some cases, depending on the sensor you use, you need to buffer the signal (mostly sensors with low...

I recently obtained what I believe to be an Holset HX40 Pro, except from all my reading I have not seen a combination like this one before.Here is what i know, unfortunately the tag on the compressor housing is missing: 6 blade compressor wheel, 60mm inducer minor 12 blade turbine wheel T3...

That 12-pin chip is an operational amplifier, the round ceramic disk is a capacitor and the last small thing is a diode. It looks like they used it as a "high impedance buffer" to make the MAP sensor output signal "high impedance". This is usually done for an ECU analog input that has low...

Has anyone looked at the factory dwell times for an Intrepid, or the vehicle in which the coils in use are from?? This would be the correct way to find out the values the factory engineers used.If I run into some spare time at work sometime soon, I'll bring my Intrepid COP's in and measure...

+1 Eagle makes really good cranks, and for the price you really cant beat it.

Also be sure when you install it to NOT over tighten it, as you will crack the housing. Believe me, I just got done welding up my cracked housing from this exact thing.You could go the safe route and buy this guy: Pegasus - Female 1/8 NPT to Male 1/8 BSPT Fitting. :rocks:

Your mark looks slightly narrower then 0.002", unless its an artifact from the image. I would take that more as 0.0025", which is still 0.0015" under the service limit. Its very hard to get such tight measurements using plasti-gague. When I did my build my mark was wider then the 0.002"...

I know this sounds stupid, but it happened to me... Check your main bearings to be SURE they are not undersized, and are in fact standard size. I ordered some parts from a reputable vendor on here, and get shipped undersized rod bearings by accident. 2 years later when I went to assemble the...

Hey Drew, do you ever watch the show: "Best Motoring International"? Their shows are all filmed at these tracks you keep linking up. Good stuff :thumb: The driver in that vid, Orido, is actually on the show as a co-host with the host Keiichi Tsuchiya.

Is that a sequential gear box? He's flying through those gears!! :thumb:

That looks BEAUTIFUL!!! He sure did an amazing job on that! These turbos are such monsters!

The outlet of oil filter goes to the temperature by-pass, which lets oil run through the cooler, or not, based on the oil temp. So yes, the oil cooler is fed with filtered oil.RRE has an excellent illustration of this: http://www.roadraceengineering.com/eclipsetech/turbooilsupplysource.jpg

Looks like it, they are advertised as "LOW Impedance" which is what we need. My FIC 850's look almost identical to these.

Excellent results! Nice work on pushing the car more and more as your technique and driving skills increase. There is a lot of time to be shaved off on braking alone, as you are finding out. Keep up the good work! :hellyeah:

Also, make sure that your throttle body is grounded to either the IM, the black cast brace that connects the IM to the head, or to the firewall. Most people overlook this when they take the car appart, and put it back together. There is usually a small piece of wire that connects the throttle...

On the 1G the CAM and CRANK signals BOTH come from the CAS mounted to the passenger side of the cylinder head. There are 2 different types of CAS sensors as well for the 1G (91-92 Optical Effect, 93-94 Hall Effect). Both output the same signal in the end though. The cam outputs two pulses per...

Since you are running a COP setup without sequential control over the coils, your behavior is slightly different. Its a wasted spark system from the factory, so if you unplug one COP coil, it actually disables two coils, that's why EVERY coil is making the sound change. If it were sequential...

If you have a -6 from tank to rail, why not use the factory FEED line for the return and upgrade both sides :hellyeah:

With the timing connector connected to ground of course :D

What coils are you using? The resistance of the coils should be NO MORE then 2 Ohms! The closer to 1 Ohm the better it will work for the Dynatek CDI setup, as that is what the system was designed to use. Dynatek's tech support is very helpful if you are having problems. Dynatek High...

I drilled and tapped all my exhaust manifold holes for 10mm x 1.5 bolts. Not only is there enough material there to do so, but you gain a bunch of strength for hanging that bigger turbo off of it. The holes on the top are a tight fit against my manifold, but the bottom and side holes all clear...

I was origionally going to run hard aluminum lines as well, however I noticed that the Earls hard lines to AN fittings were only rated at 50 PSI MAX. Earl's Hard-Line AN Tube Fittings - JEGS That's just a tad over base fuel pressure! Just something to look for when ordering your parts, as I...

My cousin is a GTP FANATIC and has done EVERYTHING to his GTP, and this is what I've gathered from him regarding the different superchargers:The M62 (62 Cubic Inch) came in the earlier 96' Bonnevilles and has the shortest snout, in-case space is an issue.The M90 (90 Cubic Inch) came in 3...

If you have a friend with a similar car you could compare speeds and RPM's, then bring him and his car with you to the shop and put it in their face! :thumb:

I agree here. Treat her to a nice new turbo and she will return the love, guaranteed! :rocks: Do it right, do it once :D Lets start selling parts you don't need, and get that NIB E316G. You know you have my support and shop use, lets do it and drive it! :thumb:

Also, the calculator on your computer will do it for you! If you dont know where that is, go to your start->run and type in "calc".Go to the "view" menu and choose "scientific". Make sure you have the "Dec" radio button selected, type in your decimal #, then click the "Hex" radio button and...

Mine is metal also :pIf you take the throttle body off, you can push the screw out of its hole once its fully un-threaded from the inside with a small pick or piece of wire, that's what I did just the other day! :rocks:

My TRE built trans had excessive grey RTV in all the areas you describe.
