from what i've heard, they can be rebuilt, but they have to be sent to garrett, however, a turbo shop near me, in lakeland, fl recently started rebuilding BB turbos. They went through a lot of crap too be able to do it. They lost a sponsorship, and garrett threatened with patent infringement. Problem is there's no patent on repair work. fyi, the place is called "extreme turbo shop"

so on kelly's board, all the talk about the AEM EMS, is it that much better than the other system's around?

damn, i missed these pictures, and now they don't work, anyone know a new link or anything?

How much for the intake manifold?

how much for it?

I'm in winter haven, about 30-45 minutes from you...i may be able to get it if chip doesn't...

How much for the intake manifold? and can you get a picture of it?

I think the XFE uses a 180º crank... So it does not need counterweights on the crank for first order vibrations xfe, that's the cosworth right? I knew there was some reason for it.

CHAMP cars have no counterweights on the crankshaft, but that's a whole new ball game

Like i said in the other thread, check out wolf3d wolfems.com

you guys oughtta check out the wolf3d system. My buddy has it on his 3 rotor FC RX-7, from what i've seen, it's pretty amazing

I'm very interested, keep us updated

Any updates Gober? how is it?

One of the muscle car mags did a 440 swap, if someone wants to try to find the back issues, they called the car "conquistador" i believe it was Mopar Muscle.

chip, this link might be helpful http://www.greatplainsas.com/icckit.html At the shop where i worked, we used rubbing alcohol to do this, there's also a special fluid just for the job. I like rubbing alcohol though, doesn't promote rust, and has less surface tension than oils, so you get a more accurate reading.

Nobody ever mentions it, but has anyone seen the wolf3d systems? A friend of mine has one on a 2nd gen rx-7, and another on a 3-rotor rx-7, i'm pretty sure they're rather expensive, but it's an amazing system.

I did some figuring, had to guess at HG thickness and one other measurement, and i used dish size of stock 22R pistons, but i added it up to be in the realm of 9.5:1 - 10:1 CR, could be off though.

hmm, you must have skipped reading my post. I must have too, is it a bad idea? Please fill me in, because i have a set of forged 22RE pistons in my attic

I'm buying a new stereo in the next month or two, so if i can make this one work w/out buying a harness, i'll use it for the time being, but if not, i'll probably just wait. Although, being that i'm buying a new one soon, it seems that you own a stereo shop or something of the like, so i'll PM you anyways.

called best buy, circuit city, and every mom and pop shop around. All of 'em but one said no, and the one that had one, wanted 50 bucks for it.

Hey, i've got an old kenwood, 16pin connector on the back with 2 fat pins on one side and 14 small ones. can anyone tell me which pins are 12V constant, switched, ground, and remote wire? I lost the harness, and the cd players not worth buying a new harness. Thanks...

Actually, i made a mistake, they have 2 injectors per cylinder, which spray downstream. There are 3 injectors right before the turbo, these are the ones that spray upstream, which serve the function of intercooling that mike c. was talking about. My mistake, should have read closer. Just figuring, since most of us are either making our own intake manifolds, or having them made, may as well explore all the possible options.

Champ car Cosworth motors have the injectors angled so that they shoot the fuel against the airflow for better atomization, would this benefit us at all when making an MPI manifold, or would it hurt streetability, or is there some other reason it wouldn't be worth it for us?

I could be wrong, but i believe the F1 cars are using pneumatic valves, rather than the electronically controlled that were mentioned. http://www.delwestusa.com/images/Air_Spring.jpg not that it matters, and not to bring us back off topic again either, ignore my post :oops:

I thought about getting a magna for awhile, but i'd rather make my own manifold, not because i think i can make mine better than a magna, or better than chad's, because i'm 99% sure it won't be any better. But i'll be able to say I made it, and i like that Probably not the best way to go about it, but i like the learning process, and i like knowing i'm able to do it. I'll probably end up sacrificing a lot because of that, but oh well. It'll please me
