dmyers151 Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 Your engine bay looks like what I'd imagine a hooker's... lady parts... look like. Mostly pink, with some odd green bits here and there. Love the build BTW. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The center cartridge is clocked 20° for optimal cooling.It is fed from the oil filter housing and will have a oil pressure gauge after the restrictor and pre-turbo.The fact that I can blow into the exhaust housing and spin the turbo makes me all warm and fuzy inside.

button Posted March 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 (edited) http://www.ilostmymind.com/upload/2011-03-16%2021.16.55.jpg now, what we gots here is a twin 58mm t-body, and i hacked the end off the water to air ic to make a 4" outlet on it coupled to the t-body elbow, and a 2.5" ic pipe off the turbo, and I'm using ~02 dodge neon plug wires. I had to put a brace on the t-body elbow cause it kept blowing off at 30psi. now it holds over 60psi. not enough lip on the throttle body itself. sorry, my new phone makes the paint look like a bass boat...

(over 4k)You can see my turbos water feed and return.I'm running full sequential msIII on a v3.0 board.The tach output works, but it seems choppy.. it could be the 35 dollar tach I'm using.It appears I am running about 100psi oil pressure as well, on my 3rd oil change with 10w30 at 195* coolant temp.I think that is fairly high pressure for idle.. then again it could be the 35 dollar gauge.

button Posted May 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 according to my engine/cams/head/turbo specs, on the dektop dyno, over 600hp at the wheels on 30psi, at 8000rpm.no idea on 1/4 cause its a fat biznatch.I'll post results as I make them. I just got my idle stuff working decent on ms3/x and pulled it out of the garage and backed in so I can work on the pc mount and dash stuff easier.so as of today, it runs, and drives. ! . woooohoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

button Posted June 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 I had what felt like a rev limiter at 5200 rpm.after checking into it, it was a hardware problem. I hadn't adjusted the potentiometer enough on the ms3x board.now, the rev limiter is whatever I set it at. next is replace my busted windshield while finishing my pc mount.

Funky Phil Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 doesnt buschur or someone make a tstat provision to eliminate that redonculous coolant line issue?? Im jealous of your cars badawesomazingness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screemin eagle Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 your high oil pressure is from not running balance shafts. you can port out the pressure regulator in the oil filter housing to lower it. there is a write up on dsm tuners or dsm talk about it.you can leave it too if you have no issues but ive seen cars push out seals in the front cover and b low oil seals in the turbo too. also jay racing sell the front exit coolant housing. car is very cool btw.
