Aren't you going boost ?
Why would you bother putting headers on now ?
Seams like a waste of funds.

 

my turbo is belt driven and being built in a custom shop,its a centrifugal type, the shaft is being built and the internal drives are going to produce about 8 psi....4 to 5 is all the stock engine will allow because of the comp ratio...ill just set the blow off to get rid of the remainder. i told jim i heard the comptech roots style turbo pushed 8 psi and he said the roots heats up more than the centrifugal when compressing air hence the difference in psi from each style....sorry i forgot to mention they type i was running....oh he is also putting in a carbon fiber impeller too...sweet cant wait.

 

Really ? Like Paxton style
Sounds interesting.

 

So its a supercharger....

Be careful with that cf impeller. You dont want it to come apart on you.

 

i made a diy thread about what u need to do to make the rdx injectors work

 

ok ithought i ran by that thread thx for yer help man....everyone is pretty cool here.

 

rajca, if i go with the rdx injectors would that bee too much since im notgoing to add spray?also i heard of the max i can go on boost is 4.5 is that a safe limit of could i go higher with the stock engine. and do you know of any ignition coil upgrades i seen what you did and was just wondering.........try not to break the sound barrier,lol. great ride man

 

U can use the s2k injectors if ur runninh low boost. Their more expensive but no work is needed for them to fit. And their 370cc. Few years back someone on here was running 11lbs on a stock block. As dor coils, thinjim is using some cbr coils. Thats what i read a while back in his build thread. Not sure what cbr or how he got them to stay in place.

 

Is that your built motor? Or did you just put the turbo onto your 3.2 motor?

 

pls elaborate on s2k and cbr........i have heard of them some where but dont know exactly where.......cbr= crotch rocket??????

 

this is not the built motor. thats still some what in progress.

theirs info on the s2k injectors on here. just search and ull find multiple thread on em. but they are not cheap. the rdx injectors are cheaper but need to be modified.

no one but thinjim has done the cbr coils (yes, crotch rocket). u would need to contact him about those. he never got back to me on how he made the work. just told me he is using them

 

Any progress on the built motor?

 

Wondering the same myself

 

no. we had a flood, a really bad one a week ago and i car was taking on water. but i pushed it further up the driveway so it didnt flood like my tl did last year. got cam spacers for the 07 tl-s cams and have to put those in. i contacted blueprintracing for prices on their forged piston, iron sleeves and forged rods. but i still need an engine bay harness.

 

Holy s#*t! Glad to see your CL made it out of the flood! Your motor will sound beastly when it's done

 

Did you ever get the cf lip to fit right ?
I am looking into lip options and want a cf lip.

 

i drilled two holes in teh corner and but some sheet metal screws into the spoiler to hold the corners down. fits fine and hasn't popped out

 

If you wanted a cf lip now would you have went with something else ?
Would any adhesives hold it down or is it just that stiff that screwing is the only way ?

 

no other cf lip out there. 3m tape or the lock tite tape didnt hold it down. the cf is stiff. only way to hold down the sides is teh screw it down

 

Any updates? I'm eager to hear this new motor.

 

ive been taking a break from the engine build. still gonna drive the car during the winter but im gonna need a new suspension asap bc two of my ksport struts are blown to shit, and i still need to find an engine bay harness.

 

Read project from page 1.... AWESOME build!

Any update? What are you using to tune?

Again, sick build dude!

 

sry for the late reply. still haveing problem with the car not reving past 2k.

 

thank god ur still around, i thought i'd never see this project moving along, i'm also one of the ppl that read thru this whole thread

 

Cam spacers as in the ones that fill the space between the difference of the 2g and 1g J-series cams? Where do you get those made or find the specs to have them machined?

 

i had a member make me the spacer when he was making a set for him self. idk anything about the 1g j series to the 2g j series.

 

Still have the other for you rajca, I forgot about you.

 

alright. im in no hurry with that right now. need to figure out that damn crank code problem

 

shouldnt there be an update for this?

 

there will be when it gets warmer and i do more stuff

 

still curious to see once it's completely done

 

it will never be done lol

 

heres a long time update.

toward the end of last season





during the winter.



current set up at Tuner Galleria (my bumper got destroyed by the last heavy snow fall we had)








theres more things here and there but havent had time to take pics. roll cage is next (well cf trunk when it ever arrives)

 

grats on the award. Looking forward to updates.

Are you tracking/competing in the car or is that front splitter just for looks. It looks a little fragile.

 

i did it quick for the winter so it protects my bumper from the snow bc my bumper was that duraflex stuff. it did its job till we got hit with a thunder snow day. i will make better mounting brackets for it when it gets warm, this was just a quick fix. i will be tracking it this year

 

Pimp

 

Nice. I am curious how you mounted your harness? Will you be installing a harness bar or roll bar?

I need to get my roll bar already to really make my car safe and get the right angles for all the belts.

 

right now its to the rear right above the bottom of the seat cushion. and one side went to the slider bracket and teh other to the factory point by the door where that rod bolted in. im have a roll cage made really soon at destruction warehouse.

 

did you make your own brackets for your seats?

 

Cool. I know that shop and Vinny's work from jdmchicago. I bet his price will be very reasonable. I will be getting my work done at king motorsports.

Roll cage or a roll bar? Without a helmet the roll cage might make it even more dangerous. My uncle died from hitting his head on a roll cage without a helmet.
