you been dealing with stuff long enough to know it happens

their not on point internally

 

I forgot you're on bags. Accuair?

 

Yep..accuair elevel..shorter ( stiffer) rear bags and stance coilovers

 

Until finished update and pictures , this thread needs to die in a fire!

 

Seriously?

 

not seriously lol Facetiously!

Every time I see a post a get an e-bone thinking finished status/killr pix but come in to nothing! Now I cant get any more e-bones, my e-peen is pawned!

 

Accuair is like right around the corner from me. One of the spaces they were renting out was across the street from where I was having my kit fabbed and they came to check out the car. I was like naaah I ain't about bags and the guy was like I won't even try to convince you lol

 

nice.. ^^

so .. updates.

My turbo is "fine"

smh. They offered to rebalance and put new seals in , but stated that crank pressure is likely pushing oil back up the drain tube just like it used to shoot my dipstick out the tube.

That being the case.. i picked up new drain tube 10an flanges from them w a much larger ID... coupled w a proper drain tube gasket this time( fixes my smoking issue).. and with my new fully open breather system... that should help me stop blowing out out the back of the turbo.

They had all go ahead to fix anything broke, so this wasnt them shirking out of warranty.. im told it wasnt coked.. it wasnt scored.. and the tolerances were absolutely fine. Figured id have the cheap rebuild done while it was there and at least reset myself the 6k miles.

Long story short... my goal is to have the car done , driving, and in pictures by July 4th.
Much of that will happen in the next 2 weeks... so expect pictures and a summary very very soon.

 

Saweet^

 

I'm waiting on a kit that I paid for almost a month ago. Don't have a tracking number yet. Large companies+shipping can always be a FCK fest.

If you still have problems later (which you probably won't if you drill out your pcv etc) you can always try a check valve right off the pan. -10 is a must though imho

 

what kit ?

 

 

Ti trim vortech

 

great faking news...

reclocked the turbo and got it installed back in w a proper gasket.. and found the electrical issue.. i was right w my suspicions.. the alternator plug wires were reversed during the pin out wire tuck.. simple mistake... and the only issue out of the whole tuck.. but alternator key off voltage problem is now fixed!

Turns out that when i bag the car out, the way the oil feed was routed was crushing the feed line as well.. its not leaking but it looked ugly, so we didnt start it yet.. '


getting a new feed line today and it should start and run like a champ by this evening.

Car goes to his shop Thursday to have the open dump back tp recirculated.. and to have the rear diffuser brackets hung and mounted..

this car is nearly 100% done

 

WOO!! Fingers crossed buddy!! good Luck!

 

What size feed? Are you running a restrictor? That will help with over oiling problems big time. What's your max rpm as well?

 

i may try stepping down to a smaller feed restrictor, mines fairly large.

aside form that, the downpipe has tons of v band leaks right now.. and is still caked w oil inside... so it still smokes when it runs.. but thats fine.. we will take all that apart at the shop and clean it out and fix er up..

just glad to know that she runs as is and can get back on th e street asap.

finishing up my bumper wraps this week too.

 

great news.
just a moment ago you were down and out not sure on the future of the project and now all of a sudden things are 99.9% done.
congrats. hope the stroke of good luck continues even after its done.

 

Awesome news. Hope you get it all resolved ASAP. I myself am in a similar situation where on my build (2jzgte powered sc300) I had smokey turbos. So I get a new turbo, manifold, wastgate, Bov and all accessories to literally find a badly kinked oil return when I went to take off the "pos twins" and thought all along it could have been a kinked line but just went with the take off the twins attitude anyway.. Eff me LMAO neva ends

 

bumpers are getting wrapped tonight so the body will be done basically..

i just need to trim the front splitter to shape and build my caanrd but thats easy stuff.

Should have some cool pics soon to post.
