turboing b18c2???

[lookingforboost]

lookingforboost.. your right... Im heading to a couple of places to try and find some tuners that will look at the set up im proposing and see how much they are looking for a custom manifold...

Who have the people running boosted dc2's in qld gone to see? Im thinking if i go to a workshop that has had some experience in making the manifold, then it wont be so expenisive as they will already have an idea what is needed...

look at a steam pipe manifold made as they are the most durable and wont crack.

if your car was here my mate could make it for you but anyway if they are quoting you bit for it all i can get the collector and header plates so you just need the piping welded into place to where you want the turbo located but you will need to find out about the flange plate on the turbo first.

Agreed, I will be making my manifold from butt weld fittings aka "steam pipe"

I will post up the flanges tomrow arvo, i will get some quotes first to see what im looking at price wise... Lookingforboost, how is your upgrade going?

going to get it ceramic coated?

just waiting on the Turbo and Gate now i have all the other parts ready turbo should be ready to go next week with a bit of luck.
i am redoing my whole exhaust system as well i am just taking everything that little bit bigger because i would rather do it bigger the first time then have to go back and change it later i will put some pics up as we are doing the whole engine bay

Have done some talking with some tuners and workshops...

Man my setup only cost like 3K for the turbo stuff

Most of my other cost was getting the B in and you already have that!

yeh... i know... Uni is a bitch though lol... Plus i liked the idea i was presented with... So its going full built motor.....

It should be happening during my vacation work so i will have plenty of pennies then....

If i was going to do it now, i would be at 200hp mabey.. Ive driven my brothers 220hp TX3 and it was fun.. but he always complained that he wanted it faster, and his stock internals were limiting that... so im learning from his mistakes....

Yeah thats what I just got

200whp at 8psi

Fun so far hahah

You'd get more with a B18C I'm only running a B16A

^^^ I just read your build thread... Looks good... Get some vids up....

I would expect more... but as you say in ur thread... You dont like thinking about it blowing up.....

Im planning for forged internals.... then the usual bits and pieces... Was thinking sleeves but they are a bit exxy.... (plus im not planning for like 600hp.....)

It is fun.. till you want to up the boost... then thats when it gets disappointing as you know you can only push it soo far as the internals will go...

Thanks Geat for only 8psi man

Most B16's get 160wk at 10psi

I think Traction will be the problem at this point heheh

Only a little bit hahaha... But once it hooks up, it will fly....

its good to hear that your going to do it right better once than an expensive mistake! mine will always be slow but basically there is no turbo on her anymore i have taken some pics i will try to get them up later and some of the new turbo size in the engine bay...... looks cool the comp cover nearly touches the bonnet :P so just to buy the new parts for the cooler setup and start on that and putting the gate into the manifold and re coating it
