**ej1boy95** · 11-30-2009, 05:20 PM

So as most of yall know I am boosting my ride. This is my first turbo'd car so Im very excited. Well Ive decided to make a build thread to keep yall updated and show yall where Im at. I hope yall enjoy !

So far Ive got the manifold and boost controller l
v

ive got some more stuff coming in this week. i should have some stuff in tomorrow.

thanks. i already have everything ordered just waiting on it to get here

same manifold design i've got. I've heard negative stuff about it since the WG is only coming off one side, instead of the middle. Of couse, I've never noticed it though since Its the only manifold i've had. I'm looking at Spoolin Performance's sbFab manifold though, I'll let you know if theres a big difference.

I had spoolin performance's log mani on a d16 and it was the fucking bomb.

so what is the negative effects of this manifold, since the WG flange is on one exhaust port. does it cause any problems ?

**Drummerboy** · 11-30-2009, 07:21 PM

I forget what the main arguement is. Something about it not being equal on all ports, so when the WG opens, its not as efficient of exiting exhaust as other manifolds. But dont quote me.

And btw, I looked, the manifold im looking at is the SPFab, not SB.

ok well thanks for the info. i think im gonna stick with this manifold cause im out of money. LOL

**patrick4588** · 11-30-2009, 08:18 PM

basically only one runner on the manifold is utilized with that wastegate placement. you want the wastegate to be centered. might cause some boost creep. if you are running low boost, you might not notice it though. gl

**hondalover00** · 11-30-2009, 08:23 PM

yes on honda-tech they have a thread about that style mani causing boost creep....ill try to find it

**ej1boy95** · 11-30-2009, 08:26 PM

**cm7k24** · 11-30-2009, 10:08 PM

when i was deciding on which manifold to get that was the one they said stay away from if you run external wg. just because its only getting from 1 port instead of mutilple,

but keep this thread coming i wanna see the out come

i think i will be find with the manifold. my cousin was running 20 pounds on a Y8 with the same manifold and wastegate i ordered and he had no problems. but i will keep yall updated !

**patrick4588** · 11-30-2009, 10:29 PM

what wastegate did you get? you arent getting a bunch of ebay parts are you? if so, this build will bring more headaches than you want.

yes i am ordering off of ebay. LOL i know ive heard of things from ebay but ive also heard good things. so idk we'll see

**dallasb84** · 12-01-2009, 01:18 AM

you will have no problems with the manifold..... one of the best cast manifolds made for the b series was a "drag" brand that your manifold is knocked off of. if that makes any sense. lol

good luck\

i got a tip for you

get some siemens deka high impedence injectors.... they are CHEAP and dont need resistor boxes..... plus.....THEY ARE CHEAP.

i got them for 40 bux a pop for 60lb 660s

Good tip on the injectors....where did you buy them from?

**ej1boy95** · 12-01-2009, 05:51 PM

so as promised i have more pictures. when i got home from school today i had this at my door

dog wanted in the pic.

**jcs** · 12-01-2009, 06:00 PM

GL man hope it all gets together

**punkr6** · 12-01-2009, 06:08 PM

bump for another sohc turbo build and fellow dog lover...reps

**CaTcH22** · 12-01-2009, 06:37 PM

I wouldnt get a wastegate off ebay. You may have luck with anything else, but I have had 2 go bad. They burn out the push rod and the tube warps. Then it sticks open.

x2, either run an internally gated turbo, or buy a quality gate...

**jcs** · 12-01-2009, 07:36 PM

x2409852 tial could be your friend

**Drummerboy** · 12-01-2009, 08:12 PM

Agreed. Im running a Ebay BOV but I've got a Turbonetics Evolution Wastegate.

**ej1boy95** · 12-01-2009, 08:28 PM

i oredered a Godspeed wastegate. any good luck with them ?

**ej1boy95** · 12-01-2009, 09:01 PM

also what do i do about welding the piping and the bov flange since there both aluminum. if yall have any good ideas let me know. cause i know its hard to weld aluminum.

**oleblue** · 12-01-2009, 09:32 PM

What turbo are you going with?

**dallasb84** · 12-02-2009, 01:10 AM

take the flange and the piping to a welding shop..... should be cheap.

look for a sheetmetal welding place as welding thin aluminum is a whole different science than welding thick materials.... im a certified tig welder and ive seen many people that weld heavy aluminum burn up sheetmetal jobs......

good info. Welding thin aluminum is a skill that takes a min to get use too. im okay at it..

but get a brand name WG, and u can get a ebay bov. I got a HKS ssqv knockoff and it works great.

my cousin found a welder that canweld aluminum,soim going to take it to him

**RandomGuy** · 12-02-2009, 04:27 PM

how much power are you planning on making initially?

**ej1boy95** · 12-02-2009, 08:00 PM

around 200 or a little more

**ej1boy95** · 12-02-2009, 08:02 PM

well guys i got some new things in today.

.50 A/R

the injectors came in also. the guy said they are 450cc but in says 530 on the side

now im just waiting on the slim fan and the wastegate and ill be set

**chrisdohck** · 12-05-2009, 06:13 PM

[/quote]

yea boost is going to be a nice upgrade... but on those injectors do u know wat they came out of bc they look like the rx7 injectors i use on my set up but they range in size they have 440, 450 ,530 ,and 550cc i think someone correct me if im wrong but u should find out and make sure b4 u get it etheir tuned or just getting a base map just my

have fun with ur setup looking forward to the pics of wen its all done
