flanders Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 after about a year of workin on her, i finally kicked it over today. it was my brilliant idea to run a straight pipe off the turbo and that sumbitch is loud. im gonna be tuning it this week and i plan on takin it to coos bay after i get done with finals so if you hear an obnoxiously loud ugly banshee rollin around... thats probably me. ill post up some pics and vid once i get a few things fine tuned.

lowriderb Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 better yet how about some pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flanders Posted April 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 hopefully ill have some pics tomorrow. i have to finish makin 3 mounts, heat wrap the exhaust and weld on the blow off valve... just some little stuff, but its got crap everywhere right now, and i dont like showin stuff that ive worked that hard on when it looks like it does now lol. im really curious as to when the boost is gonna kick in, cuz today i didnt rev it high at all becuase i dont have the blow off valve on, but even at just above an idle, you can feel it suckin pretty hard on the filter. as soon as i get it presentable, ill put up a video if someone can host it. it definitely has a distinct sound to it... but im gonna put a silencer on it before i head down to the dunes.

lowriderb Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 with turbos you usually wont see much if any boost without a load on the motor.. revving it up you will probably only see it go up to atmospheric pressure (0 on the boost gauge, no longer under a vacuum but not under boost yet).. i understand how you feel not wanting something to look bad that youve worked your ass off on.. what turbo did you use? is it intercooled as well? how much boost are you looking to run? give us something to work on man..lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead Op Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 Gald to hear its finished! LETS SEE SOME VIDS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flanders Posted April 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 im runnin an ihi rhb3, intercooler, 34mm flat slides, 23cc dome cool head, vforce reeds, and the timing is retarded about -4. im lookin to run about 6-8 pounds out of it, i think thats about all that turbo is good for lol, but it should be interesting... i ran into my first problem today though. we have chocolate milk comin out of the exhaust... its really worryin me. i drained the bottom end and it all looked good. spark plugs looked clean, that really only leaves the turbo having a bad seal or bearing, but there is no water goin through the turbo... its freakin me out a little. i mean, it wouldnt be so bad if it was just oil comin out becuase it was running so rich, but this stuff worries me. the crap comin out of the exhaust pipe doesnt even feel like oil. on a better note, i did pick up the blow off valve today, but they had to order the flange for it. hopefully i can get that terd welded in this weekend and then ill actually be able to take it out on a ride. im thinkin i might just throw on the plastic tomorrow and clean it up a tiny bit just to show ya a couple pics. and then show ya more pics when i get it all finished up. she is still a long way from being finished for the dunes, but its kind of nice just knowing it actually runs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPEN Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 mmmm turbos Iam looking forward to seeing that bad boy run You guys see that turbo Banshee engine setup in the auction forum? RIPPEN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flanders Posted April 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 well we have problems... the chocolate milk that was comin out of the exhaust is comin before the turbo. i was hopin that it would just be somethin from the turbo, but i must have blown an o-ring in the cool head or somethin becuase i tore it apart last night and there is water/oil in the exhaust before the turbo... so im gonna tear the head apart tonight and see if i can get it back together to hit up the dyno this weekend... i think this project is more stressful then college haha im at school now, but ill take some pics of it when i get home while it looks crappy, becuase i thought i would have had all the small things done by now, but apparently the plans have changed. it actually might be kinda cool to see the before and after, becuase it is a mess right now. and as far as decibels go, without a silencer on it, i think shes sittin right around 120ish...
