Telion, your project is looking good. I know you're lusting for the TWINS but have you considered SINGLE turbo but bigger?

 

[Telion]

Our engine bays a looking more and more similar as the days go by.

~Dv8

hmm Definately intriguing I can't wait to see your build

Have I ever lol, infact I think about it everytime I look at the drivers side of my engine bay between the firewall and the wheel well, but I am sticking to this. Don't worry your not the first nor the only to ask this but my answer stands it. It will be a TT and what's better than a set of twins? well once I hammer out all the details the answer will be a bigger set of twins

I'm digging that power steering location/container. If it works out please post what is all needed I would LOVE that for my car.

I used an oil catch can and Y-d into the cooling unit. Less the fact that it still seems to be leaking a little from somewhere it is working great. Personally I would say spend the extra 10.00 for one that will not leak. this one was like 25 or 30 dollars. My concerns were the Y-connection and the smaller size but that has not proven to be an issue at this point.

Thats a very slick looking ps container, definitely good thinking on your part! I'm looking forward to the final product

 

[Telion]

Don't run out and buy one yet, as it turns out the flow of the fluid needs to go in a certain direction in order for the speed sensor to function properly. I was under the impression thata it was a gear driven (rotational speed calculation, apparently not). I had it working and not (at least I thought) having any adverse affect on the speed sensor. But thien when I re-routed the flow of the fluid the speed sensor has since stopped working. Thinking thiswas a coincidence I ran to the junk yard and grabbed another speed sensor (which I am yet to install). Now being very speculative of coincidences I thought I would do some home work on the functionality of the speed sensor and it is dependant on the flow of the fluid in the power steering system. So I am going to re-route it the way I had it or in a fashion that is cohesive with the manual and see if it again works and if it does I will validate the speed with my GPS, so stay tuned.

yeah telion, keep that twin in mind. two always sounds better than one.:thumbsup:

 

[Telion]

Ok my suspicion (sp*) was confirmed hooked it up a different way (after snagging another VSS from the junkyard) and my speedo worked again bad part is once I drove it back home from work pressure still built up somewhere, possibly before the internal VSS one way check valve and caused my girl to spray a bunch of PS fluid once I got home. I am going to go back through the service manual again.

 

[reboticon]

I may be totally off here, but it would seem to me that the routing would not be as important as mainting the hoses at the same levels as the original unit. So its still gravity fed.

 

[Telion]

yeah your a little off the direction of the flow is what is most important and I think I got it working now so it is all good start your car then look at the fluid as it spins inside the container if you don't have it flowing in the correct direction the flow is stopped by a one way check valve, secondly if you flow too much fluid to the VSS without the ability for it to feedback into the cylider the pressure of the fluid builds up and the built in relief valve does its thing . . .all over your driveway

 

[reboticon]

Interesting.. I am always seeing threads about mystery power steering links.. I wonder if thats the cause.. The relief valve i mean. I learn something new about the legend everyday:thumbsup:

 

[kkiepvvessau]

can anyone give me some information on the injector Resistor . How much power that resistor can run ? can it run 550cc Injectors ?

 

[DandDEE]

this might not be the best place to ask the spot light is kinda on Telion but someone will help u out im sure

 

[Telion]

I agree with DandDee, but I will point you in the right direction, do a search on 450cc injector or DSM injector and it needs to be a low ohm injector, can't remember the ohms but this should help you begin your quest then reply in one of those threads.

 

[aww-shiet]

i would like to chip in. i havent read the whole thread, but giving you somewhat of an idea.

if your going to run twins, dont search for a turbo that has 63 trim or bigger. unless your looking for 850+. i would consider running two big 16g turbos. they are off a evo 3 in japan. you could get them off slowboy racing for 500 a piece. they're pretty small, but accords car squease out 400hp off a single turbo.

now with a 16g turbo you could have 3 cylinders spool up full boost around 3500-3800. with a valvetrain that could rev up to 8k. your going to have 5k rpm of full boost on both turbos.

mounting them is not that difficult. 3000gts mount them right off the header. im sure we could to.

i would invest in making a intake manifold similar to DV8s, but instead of 1 tb. try to get 2 in there. that way there will be no disrupted airflow.

then using the intercooler your using route each turbo pipes opposite side of the car. like you already pictured before. and you could have pipes comming from each side in the engine bay.


just my .02 cents telion.

 

[reboticon]

Are you still looking for turbos? I found a great deal on a pair on my local craigslist. Ill send you the link if you think you might be interested. If you think you want them ill even go check them out, pick them up and ship them to you, just lmk.

Are you kidding me? big 16g's? Wow talk about a non efficent turbo. If any 16g he should get a evo 16g not a 16g but 18g's can be had for cheap.

dude are you retarted? why get a 18g when you could barely fit it into a the bay. plus 18g are expensive.

and saying non efficent? wow coming from a guy that never boosted a car. you should do more research. big 16gs come from evo 3s. they were a upgrade. its fully efficent. because we're talking 2 turbos. so each 3 cylinders have to spool a turbo. you through on a 2 18gs and my twin 16g legend will rap your ass. if accords (which are 4 cylinders) get full boost at 3500 rpm and a legend 3 cylinders would make full boost at or a little more rpm.

if you want to 3 cylinders to spool a 18g or 20g, then you better invest in a nitrous kit or water/meth injection cus your going to need as much exhaust pressure as possible to get full boost before 4k rpm.

 

[Telion]

Thank you both of you for your suggestions as for the dual intake manifold I had considered it but came to the conclusion that the 2 in 1 out FMIC will suffice for now since it would be one more unknown to throw in the mix of unknowns I will already be dealing with. as for the exhaust manifods aww-shiet I have decided to switch them forward into the engine bay so size is a lot less of an issue in that regard. As for buying additional turbos, not yet guys let me make this thing run first. There are still a few odds and ends I need to pick up like a boost gauge, an oil pressure gauge and a little bit of
1 1/2" pipe for the headers.

Now on a side note till I make a DIY thread about it I have worked out the kinks in the power steering reservoir. I opted to not use the El cheapo ($23.00 Ebay special which I would advise others not to use either) and went with the Zero1000 catch can. It has larger diameter holes that don't prohibit the flow of the PS fluid and seals much betterso there is no longer a leaking issue. The size is about the same but the quality of the two items are worlds apart and this way I can use the custom made aluminum one that I picked up as a catch can for the turbos (it's well made and very pretty lol).

As for the project over all I am kind of in a holding pattern till I get this welding situation worked out. What I really need to do is take my engine that is on the stand put all the needed parts on it that I need to work around so that I have a decent out of car template to work with. Hopefully I can get the steel ordered soon so I can have these headers whipped out then get this b!($% welded up
