Big D's Westside turbo project!

[westsideaccord]

Alot better than last year lol!

[westsideaccord]

Well, it has been awhile, like almost 12months at 8 psi on a turbo that I had to make out of the best parts of two! Also didnt use high C eprom burner cause it is broken, ordered a new one and it works! Boo for selling me shit that doesnt work at full cost!
The engine is very healthy, only had trouble with oil leaks from the jb weld, and hardlines.
Also found it to be a real pain to run a 3" downpipe, fitment and clearance issues( it fell off the car once lol) back to 2" dp, lame!
the turbo seals are had, and it doesnt deem to wanna go back together nicely with new ones, so im looking at an evo3 16g from straightlinespecialties!
Right now Im running the beast with a stock cast 4-2 header and the 2-1 dp, still running the 450cc and chipped ecu! runs good except cant go past 3500 or so cause of not tuned for na only for boost! LOL

Also not hooking up the oil catch can to the inlet of the turbo is bad due to condensation, it filled up with water and froze! good thing my engines still ok. Where do I get ss oil feed and return line? Kit? I wanna redo that part of my setup! along with a 2.5 inch dp!

[westsideaccord]

[d112crzy]

[westsideaccord]

Done, custom is the way! check out the pics at the turbo pics thread!
And only cost like 15 bux!
Need to work on the oil feed now! Also it seems that the manifolds crack is geeting worse! Anyone know how to fix? I cant really afford a new one yet!

jb weld owns

[westsideaccord]

Actually to my demise, jb weld wouldnt hold up under the heat it just smokes and stinks

you have to weld it with an arc welder. you need someone very experienced to do it

haha, i know. I was just kidding.

fuck arc welding, get yourself a flux core and go at it. Grind the welds down if you really care about beauty.

try to weld cast, i can't do it. the only person i've met who can do it besides my dad was some aviation mechanic in florida. Never seen anyone else come close. you do know arc welding isn't pretty, and i didn't touch my weld. imperfections is what makes my car. jk. but really

[d112crzy]

it is hard, I've tried it. It gets messy as fuck, but if its just a small crack, it will do for some time.

Just save up for a better manifold.

[westsideaccord]

I welded my external wastegate to cast, not hugely tidy, But it doesn't leak and hasn't cracked.
That was with a mig welder, and it diddn't have any gas.

BTW Arc can have a very nice weld depending on how clean the metal is and whos doing it. I managed to use a 150amp arc welder to weld exhaust pipe a couple of years ago, just have to be careful so you dont blow holes in the mild steel
