coltboostin Posted October 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 (edited) Car has almost 100miles of 14b flogging. Motor is still together so I guess its party time! I did score a very good deal on a turbo set up. A special order only small tube Shearer V-Band manifold, with a BNIB V-band in/out 6262, with homemade DP. I am going to try and have this on the car tomorrow and go from there. Should make for a wicked street set up. http://i1003.photobucket.com/albums/af154/coltboostin/2012-10-02_09-28-31_369.jpg Small vs large tube http://i1003.photobucket.com/albums/af154/coltboostin/2012-10-02_09-25-42_683.jpg RonaWelds http://i1003.photobucket.com/albums/af154/coltboostin/2012-10-02_09-28-55_77.jpg Edited October 8, 2012 by Cordell fixed pic link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coltboostin Posted October 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 Had a few minutes to spare last night so I fabbed up a down-pipe, IC, and oil lines. She's ready for a test drive tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coltboostin Posted October 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Took it for a 1/2 hour cruise last night, runs perfect-needs an alignment. Went to Forced Fags, no one was there! Got gas, roll down 480, tuned around and came home. Took Coldwater for a rip, he likes it for just 13psi.. Still needs a few hours of wiring to make it tune/race worthy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10phone2 Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 I'm glad it's coming along. I'm sensing 30-40psi in your near future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coltboostin Posted October 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 With the wife down with food poisoning (Clam bake+party hard=Long Sunday) I had some free time this evening since we canceled dinner plans. Installed AEM WB, Autometer Boost gauge, Maximum Motorsports Mechanical oil pressure gauge, and a Shift light (no tach cluster). Semi-permanent, but it will work for now. Decided to chase a boost issue. It hits 14 on the spring, rolls to 30 soon after. Obviously a bypass issue, I figured it was a sticky WG valve, or a bad diaphragm. A little trouble shooting found the China Gate has a "set screw" that I assume is uses to raise boost-well it was buried all the way down ,l restricted the gate from opening more than an inch. Took it apart-reassembled- and took it for a rip to test it out. Holds 14psi well now. We should be Fuel pumps, and a Data port away from a base tune. I am VERY impressed with this turbo/manifold combo. Thing feels like a freaking 2.4 torque wise. Currently at 10.5to 10.8 to 1 WOT. But dyno says 350-380 whp as I drove it tonight. Car rips for untuned gate spring action! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coltboostin Posted October 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 Took it out with some local hooligans last night. At 18psi and 10 to 1 AFR's, I pulled a good bus length + on modded Zo6 (C5, HC) so I am happy with the results thus far. Waiting on some guys to get their junk ready and then dyno time. Also odd- after the last pull, car ran erratically. Did a log, showed what looked like a bad MAF. Odd. Got home to find this- http://i1003.photobucket.com/albums/af154/coltboostin/2012-10-25_10-04-13_362.jpg Got lucky it did not have a meeting with my compressor wheel!!

STEVE-O Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 I always pull that shit out of mine for that reason right there. Any pics from the outside of the car now that it is on the streets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any pics from the outside of the car now that it is on the streets? I will get a pic. It has some old 14's I had laying around and some DR's for now. And you cant remove that MIDDLE honeycomb and have it idle/read correctly. You can remove literally everything except that one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattsv8 Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 I really like this build. I'm shure that charger will grow. No more 200 on the freeway though. That intake and exh is badass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coltboostin Posted November 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 Thanks- Trying to sneak into a track day before the end of the year-its a maybe at best. I still may dyno just to get it set up on the MAF, but I wont push the set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well.... http://i1003.photobucket.com/albums/af154/coltboostin/COLTslicks.jpg ultimate sleeper...I would never guess the thing would be fast if it wasn't for the slicks... usually first thing I look at the car.. tires, check for fuel system, and then inter cooler.. after that I be clueless.. ever thought about blacking out the IC?
