One way to Private message, find a reply by the person you wanna PM, in their message box, click the icon above their message, of two people shaking hands with an envelope behind them. Another method, on the main forums page or individual forums pages, you will see vistors listed at the top in blue, if you see that persons name, click it, their profile will pop up, above the profile information you will see "send new private message", click it. Good to see you made if over from the nova site. $;\)$

RevOD RevOD Member Registered: 08/09/06 Posts: 401 Loc: Missouri	I was able to fire the car up today to check the oil feed and drain for leaks. All is good but I have a question, the turbo spins right up as soon as you start the car and you can hear it whine and if you raise the rpm even a littel its very noticable. I assume this is normal for it to be that loud even at idle?

RevOD RevOD Member Registered: 08/09/06 Posts: 401 Loc: Missouri	Yeah I bought one of those MANDREL Bend pieces 3in that has like a 180 and a 45 in it to make the downpipe. Yeah looking to build a carb bonnet, not so worried about how it flows trying to think of something unique. When I was pulling the car back into the garage I gave it a lil stab and she turned over my 255/45/17's with ease. Gotta love 3.70's and a low 1st gear $\:\)$

RevOD RevOD Member Registered: 08/09/06 Posts: 401 Loc: Missouri	Yeah they seem to be, even internally I believe they are very similar. I did place an order for a carb hat but its on backorder so in the meantime I fabbed up my own from some 2.5in pipe and a $4 Stainless Steel container from WalMart. It was the perfect size and will work just fine as a temporary fixture. Going to wrap up the J-Pipe today with header wrap, connect the boost lines to the Fuel Reg, Waste Gate, and Boost Gauge. If my Mandrel Pipe shows up today ill also be able to get some sort of downpipe and the 02 Sensor installed. Whats the acceptable distance for a wideband 02 sensor to be away from the Turbo?

Mean buzzen half dozen A.K.A. Hank Mean buzzen half dozen A.K.A. Hank Active BB Member Registered: 09/23/04 Posts: 4550 Loc: Ca	Just a quick tip. It is not a good idea to wrap up your J-pipe w/header wrap,esp if is not stainless steel. The wrap will cause the pipe to errode very quickly & soon it will fall apart & rot,maybe not as fast with schedule tubing but it will. That goes the same for your down pipe.

RevOD RevOD Member Registered: 08/09/06 Posts: 401 Loc: Missouri	You know I hear that, but its honestly a myth. We had a set of mild steel headers on a honda wrapped for 6 years and when we pulled them the only place there was rust was where there wasn't header wrap.

Hank Active BB Member Registered: 09/23/04 Posts: 4550 Loc: Ca	My friend built a set of headers from a do it yourself header build kit from Hooker. Wrapped each primary tube nice & tight all the way to the collectors. Really nice job! You could put your hand on any pipe or collector after it was run good & hard, never got hot to the touch. After a year of driving w/them for a year (SoCal weather), they literally fell apart. MBHD _________________________ 12 port SDS EFI

Here is the filter setup, once again temporary for now but it will work and should get enough fresh air. Here is the Up-pipe wrapped up. This stuff works wonders on heat retention. Here is the temporary carb hat. My "real" one should be here in a week or so. Here is the 02 sensor location in my temporary crushbent Downpipe.

RevOD RevOD Member Registered: 08/09/06 Posts: 401 Loc: Missouri	Well we drove it tonight. Exposed some wiring issues which will be corrected next. All my gauges, radio, ect... are going to get pulled and rewired. But It does feel peppy it peaked @ 4psi on the gauge with a 3.63psi spring in the WG. With the open DP I get all my boost by 2000 RPM it seems. And I was able to hold a steady 11.7:1 AFR @ WOT. Once the new carb hat arrives I can finish routing all my boost and vac lines correctly. I also want to get my exhaust on so I can listen for things like knocking or detonation. Plus I think I need to run through the valves one more time. But I will say im impressed with the seat of the pants feel, you can feel the boost kick in, even if its only 4psi.

Mean buzzen half dozen A.K.A. Hank Mean buzzen half dozen A.K.A. Hank Active BB Member Registered: 09/23/04 Posts: 4550 Loc: Ca	Glad to hear you drove it! One quick tip,,, many times you cannot hear detonation even with a quite exhaust system. That is why I recommnd the J&S safegaurd system,just my two cents,& strongly recommended esp w/cast pistons. Second tip would be to install an alky injection of some sort. I am sure w/4 lbs of boost you can feel it but boost is very addictive, your going to want more. Unless you have very good self control & keep the boost down,I would strongly suggest those two ideas. MBHD _________________________ 12 port SDS EFI

I like the J&S but it cost more then what I have tied up in this whole project. Ive though about picking up a MSD BTM though to help out. Plus i drive like a grandpa %80 of the time anyways lol
