The majority of the threads created can appropriately be placed in one of the Performance Tech sub-forums or Technical; and the posting of them here is detrimental to the activity of said forums. If you have any questions about where you need to place your thread PM me or one of the other mods.


For the most part you all have caught on without this post, but there have been a few habitual offenders that forced me to say this.


Everyone will get a couple of warnings from here on out, after that I just start deleting threads.

      did you adjust the fuel curves?? bigger turbo needs more air and more fuel... you can't run a 16g on a dsm with 440cc injectors. well actually you can, but i wouldn't... the oil lines are different too

        umm yeah adjusted fuel curves a little, who said u cant do 16g with 450cc's lol. as long as you keep the boost at 10-12 you're good to go oil lines are teh same >> the fitting that goes into the turbo is different.

          10-12 on 450s?? craziness.. as long as you have a way to watch your knock you should be straight. and you cb7er's have convinced me to ditch the 14b idea and go with a 16g.

                  ok now back on point here is an update of progress.


                  the cold side is completly plumbed in




                  the hot side as far as i can go until i get the ecu from eric then ill plumb the rest in had to remove power steering and cruise to fit the piping in the way i wanted it. 18's+no P/S= learning to drive all over ..lol its really not that bad

                  these arent the best pic but it does the job for now



                  incase anyone was wondering my front is messed up cause i hit a deer carcus on the interstate and it broke the kit in half so now im in the process of glassing it together wich is no biggy thats what i love about fiberglass its so easy to fix and change so now everthing is wired and plumbed jus waiting for the ecu to complete everthing else.

                    The 18's and no p/s aren't as bad as I thought they would be..that's what I have too. I would have been pissed about the deer though. I hope you at least got out and kicked it a few times even though it was dead.

                      the shocking thing was i got the entire car over it without blowing out my rear ???? amazing is all i had to say about that my car is only bout 4 in of the ground so i really lucked out. what happend was i was fallowing behind a truck doin bout 75 then i see blood spatter like a deer got hit then all of a sudden out from under this truck is this dead deer carcus i could even get over cause a car was next to me so i jus had to take it luckily the intercooler wasnt put on till later the passanger side floor was bumped up but i was able to hammer it back down so that was no biggy so like a said the amazing thing was that all it did was break my front. i dont know what was worse though hitting it or smelling the peices that got stuck on me exhaust pipeing.

                            It's exactly like stock except with a 6 instead of a 5 for the heat rating. On NGK plugs they get colder as the number goes up.

                                just a quick update i was installing the turbo last night and everything was runing great and LOUD i didnt have the downpipe on. but i noticed a little oil leaking coming from the t fitting in the back so i start to feel around and i touch the line that goes from the T to the turbo and bam it jus breaks off the fitting broke from the line and oil spued everywere. Sucked that was like 3am so i called it quits and tonight i think im goin to get some fuel line and use that as a temp fix to conect the problem area.
