Yep. That truck is a POS but I'm still thankful for it cuz it got me to places I needed to go. I spent about $1200 two days ago trying to pass an inspection.

Mischief 02-24-2006 04:52 PM

ha damn.. I might be start doing a sidejob making some decent money on the weekends, and I want to do a junkyard turbo set up on my 'teg.. we'll have to hook up so I can get some advice from you..

thermal 02-24-2006 05:15 PM

I'm always here mang :)

dabouncerx24 02-24-2006 10:25 PM

Wow Arnel! You first started (or officially informed us about) the project around a year and a half ago man! From then until now I think everyone's been in love with your car and are extremely anxious to see what type of numbers it posts up. So glad to see the project is almost finished man, keep us informed.

thermal 02-24-2006 11:08 PM

thanks bro!

I had a friend that converted an old school OHV motor to a c.o.p setup. He spent hundreds of bucks and weeks upon weeks trying to get it to work (which is finally did). He did it just to clean up the engine bay. Count me out of that one.

thermal 02-25-2006 09:22 AM

Yeah, with us Honda guys it's not really as bad as long as we use a stand alone.....

thermal 02-25-2006 10:24 PM

I'm still puzzled with the oil leak problem. After driving it more, it doesnt seem like my motor oil is going down. Further troubleshooting led me to think that maybe the tranny is leaking from the midshaft (half shaft) seal. If this is true, it will explain why I have oil all over the place. As the midshaft rotates, it slings oil all over the back side of the motor. I cant check the oil level on the tranny unless I drain it. But what I will do is use GM syncromesh this time since it has a distinguishing smell and color to it, unlike Honda MTF which is almost the same as a motor oil.....

FINALLY! I found the cause of the oil leak!!!!!! It was a pinched/cut o-ring on the PCV box.

Pics below includes the Tial 44mm WG, and the Honda motorcycle C.O.P conversion that I'm about to do. I also just received a phone call that the WG adapter came in. I will go ahead redo my WG set-up this week.

Update:

-Dump tube fabricated/installed/wrapped
-ATP Turbo Tial 38mm-44mm adapter flange installed

Igntion issues tho. I havent mess with the C.O.P yet, but my stock distributor went bad. We opened up the cap and discovered that the rotor screw came of and basically destroyed the cap internally. I'm borrowing another one from my tuner. We'll see what happens. Ordered a few more items. I will reveal later........

JDMFantasy2k 03-03-2006 10:12 AM

where did you find that wastegate adaptor? that's nasty

pdiggitydogg 03-03-2006 12:45 PM

gah
im just envious and wish mine would get moving faster!

Purchased the 38mm to 44mm adapter via my buddy BoostFed. He has an account at ATP Turbo.

Pat, if you only live close by, I'd be all over you trying get your shit expedited. I'm contagious man.... ha ha..... plus...

I finished the C.O.P harness. It actually looks better in "real life". I would've been running running this set-up already but the coils I bought were for a DSM motor instead... it is a little too short to reach the spark plug. It's okay tho, I'll just give it to my tuner since he tunes DSM's as well. I have another set coming.... the right ones this time :yup:

KwikR6 03-03-2006 06:53 PM

Fuck dude...that is sooo amazing.

thermal 03-03-2006 07:20 PM

Thanks bud :yup:

2000Pimpinex 03-04-2006 08:20 AM

WOW, car looks great. Awesome job on the rebuild.

thermal 03-09-2006 07:43 PM

thanks man.

I haven been super busy this week working on other people's car. I just got done rewiring an EK for a B18C1 service. I have more parts coming in. I wont say what it is right now. I'll just post pics once I get it done. I went back on the drawing board a few days ago. I'm making more changes before I dyno.

It has been very slow on my end. We installed a supposedly turbo "kit" on a 2001 Integra GSR 2 days ago. We also did some dyno tuning on a few friends. It has been nothing but running around all week. I'm exhausted. I have most of the parts for a newly improved set-up. Here is a pic of what I did today. I'll post the rest of the pics tomorrow. Below is the 86-93 Mustang throttle body. 75mm in size. Next to it is the 70mm RPM Services throttle body.

I've received these in the past few days. Fun begins tomorrow.....

*86-93 Mustang 75mm Thottle Body
*Edelbrock adapter plate
*Quaife Torque Biasing Differential (LSD)
*Precision 750hp intercooler

First pic is the comparison of the a 70mm RPM Services TB and the 75mm Mustang TB.

dabouncerx24 03-17-2006 12:16 AM

Mischief 03-17-2006 01:28 AM

Thanks :ricer:-boy.

Gone 03-23-2006 10:48 PM

Would you guys recommend a Fluidyne radiator full size or half size (havn't found one) for daily use? And for track use a half size? dual core?

thermal 03-24-2006 06:05 PM

For all motor application, full size. For Turbo set-up, half size dual core since space will be limited.

I really havent done much lately. Too busy helping friends get their car up. I did a few small stuff. Pic 1 is a fabrication I did to delete the stock IACV and I added another vacuum source which be used for the 3 Bar map sensor. Pic 2 is the mouted position of the Precision 750hp IC. Pic 3 is the comparison in thickness of my previous Spearco IC. Pic 4 is the Exedy Twin disc awaiting for duty once I the tranny comes back from the Quaife LSD install.

The intercooler size forced me to yet again refab another piping on the driver side. I'll post pics later. I just need to paint and wrap it. THe fab kicked my ass.....

JDMFantasy2k 03-26-2006 09:35 PM

that intercooler looks like its made for a mack truck....

how are you going to run it without an iavc?

GT40FIED 03-26-2006 09:52 PM

Damn Arnel...that might just be bigger than my IC, and that's saying a lot.

So is the plan to just make the IC the new front end of the car?:D

I have an IACV bro.... it's just that it wont be a Honda IACV. I'll be using a Ford IACV. Freebie from the Junkyard. I'll be able to run any of the Ford IACV with the same flange pattern like the ones below. It will be recalibrated via EMS.

Steve, I know what you mean. I never had a bumper support to begin with actually. That IC is thick as well which will require me to cut some areas on my bumper again.... :)
