That's the catchcan I mentioned in a previous post.

And let's keep posts like these, that don't specifically ask or answer a question about a posted picture, to a minimum...

If anyone wants to see more pics of mine I got them all hosted on a webshots page. All engine rebuild pics and more from my car and my studies in Mexico.. off topic..

As Paul asked, please host the photos on DSMtuners. That way they will be accessible for people in the future to look at and possibly aid them in whatever help they need. Also once hosted, go ahead and throw them up on this page(DSM only), that way it's less of a hassle for who ever is searching.

I'm too lazy to post more, just makes me depressed ...it's ok though, the replacement car is newer, cleaner, sexier, and oh yeah...will be faster (but you won't see any check out my 10sec car threads from me hehe)

its good too see alot more turbo 420a's

I remember back on the day when everyone laughed at the thought of turboing a 420a

 

[ivan300]

Im just curious what size turbos are all you guys running?
i have turbonetics 60-1 0.63 a/r
In first gear the boost hits pretty late 4-5k but in second and up around 3k
This is with a 3" exhaust.

turbonetics t3t4 57 front housing and 63 rear housing ,im going to see how it does on the dyno then move up to a bigger turbo ,but for wright now its a awsome turbo spools very quick ,cant wait to see the power on the graph

Just got this in from treadstone, The welds are very nice

 

[BigRand]

Pretty pictures.....whats the retail on those shiny pieces?

Lol thanks. He quoted 150 but ended up payng about 225 after shipping and the curency conversion. Still a steal of a deal when i was quoted 300 from a local muffler shop. Plus checked the fitment and everyting fits perfect, good buy and for anyone looking for a dp.
PS i have the treadstone turbo kit so the dp came from the same vendor.

 

[BigRand]

300 isn't a bad price either from your local shop...especially for stainless steel....how big is the downpipe?

300 is an alright price i agree but the local shop did,t say anything about the external wastegate but ya the dp is 2-3\4 in and im going to put a flex pipe at the bottom and continue to a 3 inch back.

 

[totaleclipse_05]

Welds look nice on the treadstone piece, too bad they didn't incorporate the wastegate pipe routing back into the downpipe.

 

[Focker420]

Ya i was thinking about that too. And i was planning on having it open to begin with anyway, i kinda want to hear what the open dump sounds like : ). but will most likely get wastegate routed back to the pipe when i get the exhaust done.

I like how he put a exhaust temp bung aswell as the O2 bung.

 

[XMasta19]

EGT right there after the turbo huh...

 

[Focker420]

hmmm. yea on the 90 of the down pipe. after the turbo....

 

[BigRand]

The problem with rerouting is that it really has to go down at least 6-8" inches away from the turbo inlet to affect the airflow out of the turbo.....but when you get down there you have to deal with structual issues and access issues......(acess issues can also be a problem even when the dump is routed right back into the downpipe, if its not stainless steel the mild steel can warp from the hot and cold cycles and could lead to issues with the bolts......

Anyways those are things that I have experienced, however I did like the sound of a rerouted dump, but I've been back and fourth, and its pretty much whatever is easier to work with....and I love the sound of an open dump. Can be really intiminating on the roads.

 

[Focker420]

That's not a turbo setup...

What do you mean 'thats not a turbo set-up, Please explain....

 

[VelocitàPaola]

He means that this thread is for pictures of 420A turbosystems (turbo, IC, etc.), not engines or other parts.

 

[Focker420]

Cough, Cough, Well its a turbo port. hey.

Ok so here's pic of the IC, I wanted to keep the bumper support for the structure, and strength.

 

[BigRand]

Well boys and girls, here is what mine looks like currently. A little dirty for various reasons but nothing a little orbit gum can't fix.
