Wow, that looks great! Reading through the build thread I was seriously hoping you were able to get the forward facing headers to work. I've contemplated doing that to my build, but seeing all the problems you had I think I'll scrap that.

Reading through these build threads makes me wish that I had done a build thread as well. I guess I could start in the middle... lol

 

[richman]

[chad05gt]

its possible to do the headers, but you would have to modify the A/C lines.....thats the only issue i had....and wasnt wanting to do that

ITS ALIVE!!!!

got my throttle body issue resolved!

took the car for a short 10 mile drive, all temps look great,pressures look great, not a single drop of fluid leaking from anywhere and A/F is around 11.3-11.5.....

meth kit is working good, around 3psi the kit kicks in and my temps drop a good 10 degrees almost instantly!

got it home and checked all the fluids.....changed the oil !

now i just gotta do some work on the tune!

transmission is shifting good! i really like this KR shifter and im 100% satisfied with it...not even sure why people waste money on anything else...

 

[JeremyH]

Awesome! I really like the stock gt500 shifter, have no issues with it. The throw is short and precise. Guess I dont know what Im missing or vice versa for you lol

What gph nozzle are you using on the meth setup?

 

[one eyed willy]

What gph nozzle are you using on the meth setup?

video video also what was wrong with the TB?

 

[one eyed willy]

video video also what was wrong with the TB?

i guess the TB sat too long, 4-5 months.....then i over clocked the spring to make things right, which gave me a different code so i knew i was working on the correct issue.....so once i got the spring clocked correctly...it was working good!


spring only gets clocked 1/2 turn for those using a BBK TB , for who ever reads this later!! there are 2 different holes for the spring to sit in on the BBK gear.....if you have to clock the spring 1 full turn to get the plastic gear to line up then you are using the wrong hole!! only 1/2 way is all it takes!

car is down again...turbo is blowing too much oil for my likings.....anyone has any rebuild info im all ears....

i tore it apart and the rear oil seal is blown for sure, i need to find a rebuild kit ASAP!

 

[pullmeoverorange]

dam sounds like my luck

 

[JeremyH]

Pm sent, just send it to precision. Also I would run it without the blanket for sure.

 

[GB10]

What size oil feed and return line are you running? Any oil feed restrictor?

 

[GT500KR]

oil drain restriction too... ran in to that problem with my STS rear mount on my 70 Camaro needed a better oil scavageing pump... also are you running an oil restrictor like GB10 said? some fitting have them built in some dont... hope this helps

 

[one eyed willy]

i bought it used with 1000 miles on it, problem was there from day one when i got it (i got fuked pretty much!)

I HAVE A #3 feed and 3/4 drain with zero kinks....i do not think i contributed to the issue.....dude i bought it from fuked me....but ill get it fixed, no biggie!

 

[probercr93]

I could just sell you a brand new comp turbo at a great price

 

[one eyed willy]

I could just sell you a brand new comp turbo at a great price

im sure my opinion of great price varies from your opinion...lol

 

[GB10]

Yea, 3/4" drain and -3 feed is what I use with no problems whatsoever. I run a Bullseye turbo, but with a T4 turbine a 3/4" drain should be sufficient.

 

[probercr93]

im sure my opinion of great price varies from your opinion...lol

lol try me. I promise you'll be impressed.

 

[bmaxwell]

^ I remember you talking about these turbos, they look to be bad ass to me. How on earth can you get them 200-300 cheaper than straight from comp lol.
