ro55ifumi Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 Iddy Exactly what i did with my manifold first time round, blew the gasket after around 2 month so ended up pulling it back apart for a genuine one!!!Looking good though mate Quote
Josh@TunerLifestyle Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 whatd the spool time like on that turbo kit compared to a ct9? im thinking of getting something like that myself looks good mate! hope you get it sorted soon! Quote
Amjad Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 I'm a bit blind lol can you point out where the brace is?Is the actuator bracket used for using HKS CT9 actuator on the TD04? Quote
Josh@TunerLifestyle Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 amjad the brace is in the middle of the mani can only see it on the second pic Quote
EliteMilk Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 seen this other night really tidy GT cant wait to see it kitted Quote
daz gt turbz Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 what managment you running iddy? do like those fenders, get them on properly and painted then i can take a long look at them! Quote
Idrees Posted January 6, 2011 Author Posted January 6, 2011 The one fender that is fitted will be coming back off as I can't take the time out to paint them. I'll be refitting the stock ones when I get a chance just so I can get the car on the road, and I'll fit the fenders at a later date. Quote
ep_brad Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 out of interest how did you brace that manifold? Quote
rinseep82 Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 yea i saw this the other nite lookin tidy dude love those wheels Quote
Idrees Posted January 7, 2011 Author Posted January 7, 2011 I had a brace welded from flange to flange on the manifold, cheers Dale!I've took the turbo kit off and replaced the gaskets with genuine Subaru items. It's still blowing from somewhere though, it's nothing major but I need to sort it out! Everything else is running smooth, the engine is extremely quiet! I just need to fix the idle level on it, fit a new ICV, get the knock sensor wired up then fit the front bumper and fingers crossed I can get her Tax'd today as the Vtec is coming off the road! Quote
Bean Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 is prob the flanges not been flat mate, get a straight edge on them, they prob need skimmed. Quote
Idrees Posted January 10, 2011 Author Posted January 10, 2011 I stripped the turbo kit off and refitted it with genuine Subaru gaskets and she is now running sweet. The insurance is sorted and I'm in the process of buying road tax now. I've been using the Vtec for a week or so, and I can confirm that Boost is the way - even though the TD04 is only running at .5 bar. Quote
Sparky Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 Boost>Vtec Good work mateMine will be .6bar before mapping, just wondering what it feels like to drive, how does it pull/spool on the stock ECU? Quote
Dean @RW-Developments Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 looking good man, gotta love the td04 im only running 0.5 on mine and still cant stop the wheels from spinning Quote
Amjad Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 I really hope this Toyosports setup is decent, might get TD04 power sooner than I thought I would Quote
daz gt turbz Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 quite tempted to get my td04 kit on and run it on low boost till i get it mapped after seeing this. Quote
ep_brad Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 my toyosports manifold should be here tomorrow just need a td04 and mot and i will let you know how it holds up Quote
Bean Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 i ran mine at .5 before i got my td04 mapped and it was nothing special. my mates stock r5 turbo kept up with it. Quote
Shib786 Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 Haha at the Antifreeze thing, the car was off the road long before the winter! Anyways its going well, I wouldnt mind buying it back now ha only joking ! True Honda boy now ! Quote
Idrees Posted January 14, 2011 Author Posted January 14, 2011 She's on the road now and running pretty well. I just need an EMB/Dastek so I can get her mapped at 1 bar. I also need to fit a new gearbox as the one on the car has a f**ked second gear. I just wish I knew about this when I changed the engine. I need to get a panhard rod fitted asap as one of the tyres is getting shredded. I've got Cusco and an RSR lying about so I'll fit one of the two. Quote
Socks Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 why wud the panhard rod cause your tyre shredding? unless the bushes r fooked in your stocker? lollooking sweet idrees matey! i hope that turbo kit lasts wud be cheap kit for people if it holds out! Quote
