Maxzillian Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 (edited) Heh, I've seen those bearings before. Those are the bearings from a turbo charger. If those were from the turbo on the car, he'd know it. Likely the remnants of a past turbo that crapped the bed in spectacular fashion.

Dred_85.5_TSI Posted February 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 yeah I'm sure that was interesting, the turbo on the car is in nice shape with very little play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ucw458 Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 Good job so far. Just a thought, the manifold pics look wavy on the flanges. You may want to have the manifold and turbo inlet re-surfaced. Or al least run on a belt sander. It looks like they may not seal too well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technology Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 Those frame rails can be fixed. they are not as bad as I've seen. Some are simply gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frenchi934 Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 Structural bondo... Dang. Btw manifold and exh housing looks awesome. agreed. but dont you need to plane surface the mounting surfaces?...it seems like that would leak at the flanges?

Turborusty Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 agreed. but dont you need to plane surface the mounting surfaces?...it seems like that would leak at the flanges? Yep, glad to see so many of you get that! It's a machined surface to begin with and they need to match up ferfectly flat. Turborusty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killtodie Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 Dont forget to retourqe them headbolts after warming up the engine. When I worked at Nazar's car, I retourqued his headbolts after the car warmed up and gave it a good half a turn before it clicked off at 90lb again.

NudeLobster Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Well I'll be filing the ceramic off the mani surface and stone-ing both surfaces smooth. other than that, i hope I can finally get this thing running again this week! -Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technology Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Yes, I hope you can too. What a good little overhaul you've done here. It's sure to keep it going for a long time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NudeLobster Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 well by running I mean idle...then i pull of the old IC pipes and MAS for new 4" *DM IC, 2.25" full set of pipes, and a GM MAF blow through and MAF-T gen 2 for fuel control.I have to cut the front BOV section of the OCVP off to make room for the MAF, then have a capable welder run a fat bead around the cut end to act as a lip so the coupler doesn't blow off. I'm really hoping the MAF-T 2 install and tune goes smoothly cause I might punch myself in the left nut if it takes me days (which translates to weeks with school and work in the mix) to get it on a solid street tune. Then, after that is verified, I pull the pipes back off for powdercoating since they are bare aluminum. I wish I could just coat em now but I need to make the MAF cut first. -Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a guy do that to mine a few years ago (he owns an rx7 shop and claims to have run 60psi on a rx7 and never had an issue) and I didn't have one with my car. Or take the pipes to AMS and have them bead roll it, it's $5 each end.Or spend $5 and make your own bead roller.

NudeLobster Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 After an hour of knife stoning, the turbo side is planed. Manifold side will be done Thursday. http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc92/pocketrocket1331/Mobile%20Uploads/1331678104.jpg -Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
