lol dunno if I can go yet, you guys can visit me anytime in miami

 

Let us know when there'll be a track day of this magnitude in miami and I'm sure alot of us will go

 

Ill sit on the floor, or you can let me drive it

Chris

 

Not sure you'd wanna sit on the floor under my pass seat, I have the brain module for my Alpine screen there If I was leaving my seat intact you could no doubt go. Sorry man

 

lmao btw has anyone fuel gauge been off by alot, i dont know if its me but i had half a tank of gas and then i drove home from work which is about 8 miles with no boost and then read a 1/4 under half tank? maybe the fuel floater maybe im crazy who knows lol

 

The fuel level float was probably installed a bit off. Pull it back out and re-install correctly and it should take care of that.

 

how do I know where to correct point is? Maybe will do this on the weekend. However when I fill up my tank it reads Full so it can be that off. Thanks MIA

 

this post truly is useless without a good sound clip or some pics of good setups that haven't melted anything yet...

 

Anyways guys, I have the AAM spacer with the 3/8" fitting for oil return on it. I am most likely going to drill my oil block this weekend. Im just getting some of the things together. I should be able to use the same 3/8" fitting with hose end from the current aam setup on the new threaded hole im going to open and then just buy a 3/8" plug to block off the remaining open threaded hole located on the aam. I know I also need an angled drill, a center punch, 3/8" npt tap and some drill bits. Also what is the best way to remove the oil pan since its full of silicone now and once I have all this done how much oil do I put in? Check out the pic i provided as reference. Is this the proper placement of the hole I am going to be opening? any further pics / info will be appreciated.

 

Why are you going to move it? Are you having problems with the spacer return? I have the AAM spacer with no problems yet. But the way you want to do it, is what the specs call for on the TN kit.

 

Because sometimes when I come to a stop from driving a get a little bit of smoke of the exhaust. I have been told by some people and my own research that the oil return on the AAM usually brings these problems. Therefore I was thinking of drilling the block, I just wonder if to do it where TN says or a little higher like the picture I posted which is vortech s/c tapping space. What do you guys think?

 

Well, since your mind is set. I would defiantly do it where the TN specs say. Which would be lower. Just above the pan it's self. Where the smooth surface is, in the center. I know you know or have your own pics. Pretty sure Miaplaya will tell you the same. Good luck with it all.

By the way. How many total miles on the car and boosted miles?

 

You are spot on. I would drill the return just like Turbonetics specifies. I've had no issues with mine like that in many thousands of miles.

 

20k miles 10k boosted, thanks guys. I was under the car yesterday and space is eXtemely tight down there with the turbo downpipe in the way. I can probably drill the smooth part if lucky but not the part in the pic i posted unless i take apart alot of crap. another thing is that if it is the smooth surface from what i was seeing is only like 2in if that from where the 3/8npt on the spacer is? will that little bit make a difference?

 

can this wastegate mod be done on a earlier tn kit without the overboos tpipe, or is that the pipe you cut?

 

I wouldn't see why not. You said wastegate mod. You are talking about the open dump, right? Even though on the older kits or older piping I might say. The wastegate is facing up, in which it is connect directly to the discharge pipe. Which routes into the downpipe.

So that being said. I would think you would have turn the wastegate around 180 degree's and cap off the discharge pipe. Then you will have to add or have made little piece of pipe with flange to bolt up to the wastegate. Which gets the exhaust fumes down and away from any vitals. I haven't every seen pics of open dump on the older piping, but that would seem to me the only way it could be done. I'm pretty sure someone else will shine in soon.

 

yea i sorta get what your saying. how would i cap it off??

 

find yourself a block-off plate or get one from TN. I'd look into getting the overboost-fix up-pipe though as well...

 

You would have to get a solid flange made to that size. Either from Turbonetics or I know Summit Racing sells alot of Turbonetics parts, not sure on that piece exactly. If one is close to you.
