QBALLs Turbo Conversion...56K no no

[barefootbonzai]

hope u dont feel bad but im almost finished my turbo installation and its only been 2 days lol. get that teg of yours on da road man hehe

Lol, i reckon. I did my turbo conversion in under 3 days. And that's 3 lazy days.

[Q_ball]

well excuuuuuuuuuuuuuse me for havin a life besides my car fellas!

to gsi-psi and barefootbonzai, im very happy that yous were able to do it all in 3 days, but i dont have the time, or the knowledge to b pullin this sorta shit outta my ass :D

its redy for pickup except i had to go down to the gong for a mates 21st
i shall b goin down this comin weekend to pick it up,
so ill b at the wakefield meet on monday, 4th july.

[saxman]

I think the point wasn't that they did it in 3 days... but that if they, by themselves, as amatures, can do it in three days, why is it taking a shop full of so called professionals so damn long

Yer well thats exactly my point. Wasnt tryin 2 target the comment in a bad way at you qball. Just tryin 2 figure out how long these mechanics r takin. hmmmm

hmmmm.....wakefield??? you think it's wise to take that down there? I mean the setup is new so its best to run in the motor and everything first before giving it a hard fang at wakefield. unless you planing to do a couple of 1000 km's before than.

Just take it easy cause it could alll fall apart as it is basically a new motor!!

Still damn waiting for pic bro!!!!

[|N|]

i think most of the time has been spent on waitin for parts .. so thats y the long wait....

and Qball is not goin to take it hard on track la..... just goin easy for a bit of fun .. so i guess it ll be alrite...

[joyride]

the engine is already tuned? it didnt have to get run in?

[traNce_gl]

i drove past the shop after work...still there

[NTR16N]

maybe hes not tracking it... just goin for the scenic cruise... run in the car.. show us the set up.. am i right?? cause i dont think its wise you take it too.. get use to it cause im sure it doesnt go and handle like it use too... ;)

[Krim]

Well i read through like 16 pages and thought stuff it ill go to the end and see the finished product.

WTF NOT FINISHED ?!?! :(

Hopefully it turns out all ok :)

[Q_ball]

yeh i understand where all of yous are coming from, and believe me, the guy knows how pissed off i am that its taken soo long.
im in total agreeance with yas there.
nicks rite in sayin that ive been waitin for parts for the majority of the time, n as stated b4 - i have expressed my frustration to the mechanic.
he has promised me that its redy this weekend unless of course something ****s up...touch wood.
n yeh, wakefield day im jst gona take it easy, get used to the new clutch n jst have a good time hearing her pssst hehe
up for a few fotos too :)
cheers fellas

[wynode]

Personally Q........i wouldn't take it to wakefield. I would drive it around and give it a bit here and there. Then whene everything is OK, take it to wakefield. Getting a tiltray from wakefield back to wollongog/Sydney is not cheap!

[ITRBoI]

i think he should run in the engine probably first before even giving it like that!!! but yeah it's his car , so his call

[GSI-PSI]

must be frustrating man. Mate just go 4 heaps of cruises till u clock up about 1000 km then give it the fang lol. youll be alright. just dont get tempted 2 give it 2 it 2 much as ya runnin it in.

[Q_ball]

yous wouldnt advise on takin it jst to drive it round semi-normally?
im not gona b hittin at all - prob jst enuf to get the blood goin a bit but nuthin over say 5-6k i think...or is that too much??
i dunno...

[ITRBoI]

drive normally its should be ok but just try not to red line it for at least 2000km's

[GSI-PSI]

hey dont pussy foot it but dont rev it to 7k. drive it normal and giv it a lil bit cos its all in the running in process that counts. Its fact that 2 of the same cars outa the factory being run in. 1 being driven normal with a bit of pushing and the other being granny driven proved that the 1 that was pushed was more powerful. Like i said b4 tho, no redlining tho.

[Q_ball]

i believ me rev limiter is being shifted towards 8500-9000 so yeh...
i dont plan on pushin it past 6

[GSI-PSI]

thats ok then

[joyride]

hey q, i skimmed through the thread again but i didnt see any mention of the engine getting rebuilt.. was it rebuilt or not?

[2MPRSS]

turbo b18 ha? hmm i was thinking of doing that got 3 quotes with t04 turbo and internals changed plus sleeving the block,all 3 quotes were $12000 - $18000,i thought hard and thought its not worth it ,il rather save up and get a S2000 less headache,good luck with the job

[CMI70Y]

Hay Quinton sooo ya got ya car yet?Fukk im guessn u would b soo frustratd by now!its been n felt lyk ages!neways good luck hope ya get it soon n holla @ me wen ya get it bak n we can go 4 a cruize!;)

[Q_ball]

[Weq]

car's always take longer then expected. engine builders ALWAYS take longer then expected. the wait is worth it though

[GODZLA]

[GSI-PSI]

[tracer]

[traNce_gl]

and btw i think this post has the most viewed topic 8,246

hahahah ...good work man

[Q_ball]

he has promised me that its redy this weekend unless of course something ****s up...touch wood.

this weekend peeps...its hard enuf for me to stay patient, let alone havin to calm all of yous down!!
im dyin of anticipation ere...:p

[saxman]

does anyone else see the big problem here?

new engine = must be broken in before high revs/high load
turbo = must be tuned at high revs/high load

so your either having a car that hasn't been broken in properly being taken to high revs/load, or you have an untuned engine...

[Q_ball]

ill address this with him...i have actually been thinking bout this so ill let yas kno wats goin...

[mj3610]

geeez is this thing still going??? Q ball i think u should call guiness book of world records for the longest running ozhonda thread :D

[Q_ball]

jst checked with the mechanic, and he says that it will b redy either tues or wednesday next week cause the guy thats doin the dyno is currently upgrading his 4wd dyno or sumthin...
I CANT FARKN WIN!!!!
the suicide blade sounds good...:(
i was soo keen to take it to wakefield as well!

[iceman_vti]

just put on a green mask, a green suit, and go shove an exhaust up his ass (the mask ;) )

man that sux... i was lookin forward to hearin about it now i gotta wait..

Hully

[saxman]

>>>>>THE NEVER ENDING TURBO CONVERSION <<<<

[[stealth]]

This Is Fkin Ridiculous Lol~!

[BlitZ]

he is fine tuning the turbine edges....
sharp enough to chop fruit..

it would be worth the wait dude...

The longer u wait the more u would enjoy..

He is just teasing u...

The last pics they i saw the this was almost complete without internals..(correct me if im wrong)
Did something go wrong?

[saxman]

Did something go wrong?
I'm starting to think the question should be "did anything go right?"

there's just something about a mechanic that passes off other parts as his own... ssac of all things too... that takes forever and a day to do the work, somehow tunes and breaks the engine in at the same time... etc that would make me just a bit nervous...

I hope you're getting some sort of price cut for them taking so damn long
