The Install

Fuel Pump Problem

Well The car starts, runs and drives! There was a heavy oil leak that i was unable to trace, or from what i thought. Currently the car is not running and is sitting in my driveway until I have the money for the parts i need. Since last time i posted i decided to go single. The turbo i have chosen is a gt3076r nice instant spool since the turbo is usually on 4 cylinders.


What i still need to get:
-Oil Return Line
-Oil Feed Lines
-Water Banjos

lol, it's not really that big of a turbo, just that i didn't want to get with a gt4202r since that means i would probably have to spend a ridiculous amount of money just get get it spooled a little. I kinda like how this one is on our motors anyways... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bB9kYH5pMQ

hey couple of questions regarding the turbo setup...

1. what size exhaust housing are you using on the turbo?

2. what kind of manifold are you using? T3 or T4 flange? It seems that all the manifolds i see are for T4 setups while the turbo you're using is a T3.

looks nasty. now time to get some time slips!

1. the turbo is t3 with 3 inch downpipe.

2. it's a t4 manifold with a t3 flange that was bought and modified by a local shop for the t4 manifold.
