Silvr's new setup... - Page 2

SilvrEclipse · #16 02-09-2009, 08:52 PM

Finally got some pics of the new setup. Just finished changing one of the exhaust gaskets this weekend and got the intake on. Its going to take a little more work for the 20g to fit. It clears everything but the exhaust doesn't quite bolt up to that stupid T3 flange so I either need a TD06 dsm housing or alter my exhaust some. Haven't found any semi cheap housing for sale so Im not sure what Im going to do yet. I will have some new track times in 2 weeks also.

Still have to put the stock heatshielding on and weld the wastegate dump tube.

Ok guys changed my mind. Just remembered that the TD05 and 06 wheels have the same shafts just different size wheels. So Im going to pull the shaft out of my 16g and put it in the 20g and use my 7cm housing. So it will be a TD05 20g. Its going on tmrw, I will have some more pics.. Still wont have the wastegate dump on yet so I wont be able to tune it much yet.

20g is finally on. Took about 2 hours to pull the turbo, change the shafts, and put everything back on. Just got back from the test drive, wastegate still isin't finished so cant do any hard pulls just hitting boost and letting off. It spools about 500rpms later than the 16g which surprised me since its the same turbine with a bigger compressor wheel. Anyways here are some more pics.

Pics are fixed now. My computer was being gay earlier so I just left it and waited to edit it later. Sorry guys, the car sounds so f*ckin nasty now, everything is so much louder its crazy. I will have to get a video on here soon so yall can see it. Also going to try and get the wastegate dump fabbed up this weekend.

I don't remember if you said you had 2 fans or not. Get another fan in there. You'll need the two.

Finally got the wastegate pipe welded this weekend and got it put on yesterday. I did a few pulls logging everything with MS workin on the tune. Car pulls pretty hard at 12psi and got it up to 20psi a few times. Never really got above 70% throttle but it was pulling hard. Injectors peaked at 65% so I should have plenty of fuel for 23-24psi for the track runs. After class today Im going to turn the boost up some, dial the fuel in and mess with ignition timing some making sure its not knockin. I promised Dave a video this week, I may be able to get one today I just have to figure out how to hold the camera...

You need that mount that I got for my camera. It clips on with mounts for the passenger or driver side headrest and puts the camera right in the center of the car. I threw a wide angle lens on it and it got the whole dash, out the windshield and it looked good. Too bad the Firebird had bad glare out of the windshield on a really sunny day. But it still made for a good video.

Nice.... that's awesome. For my camera (digital camera, not a camcorder) I have attached a tripod to it and then stuck it between the headrest and the seat and then angled it however I wanted to. I haven't perfected it yet; if I turn hard it falls over and then everything is at a 90* angle. But I will be making a mount for it to hold it in place better.

I plan on making something like Brians headrest one. Just haven't gotten around to it

I'd love to see a vid.

Dave: I have just one fan on my car and it cools plenty.
