hey telion nice so far cant wait to see it done but if i may ask what map sensor are using and since you are using to turbo do you have to use 2 maps or just one

 

[reboticon]

I am still in limbo on this any opinions good bad whatever, talk to me :dunno:

I really think it would be kind of silly if you spent all this time on those headers and making SURE they were as thick as you wanted, only to feed them straight into... a flex pipe?! I guess it depends on how many miles you would be putting on the car before maybe changing the turbos. If you are just taking a few miles you could just clamp the flexpipe into place to get the fitting. Youd probably have to constantly adjust them for leaks but as a temporary..

I really need to clean everything up as it looks a little discouraging as is.

We Believe In You!

Thank you, and that makes two of us. As for the map sensor I will just need the one map sensor because it will still get data from the the intake and not the turbos and both turbos are fed into the one intake.

Sorry I should have been more clear the Turbos would mount directly to the headers as planned. I am referring to the exhaust side right before where the down pipes merge into the Y-pipe but I decided against this at this point because I think it will be fine even if I increase the size of the turbos. I am pretty sure that a T3/T4 would be more than adequate down the road. So it would be added difficulty for not much benefit. And thanks fr the encouragement! it always helps.

i know your not dealin with a civic but when i had my civic and was planiing on making it turbo i read that i should you the gm 3bar map sensor now i dont know if it will work with the legends since the motor is way bigger but hey thats why we got trial and error MAP Sensor, GM, Bosch-Style, 3-Bar, Stock-Style just copy n paste on ebay search

JETDOC
i got a question for you?
i got my legend tore down to the heads do i have to take the cams out and stuff so they can get pressure tested and stuff and one more thing its off subject but what trannys match up with the c32a1 im wanting to do a six speed swap???
thanks for all the help

 

[reboticon]

What the heck is up with all the threadjacking?! Has jetdoc even posted in this thread ever?!

To answer the questions though, yes you must take the cams out to get them pressure tested. For six speed trannies the best and most common swap is the 6 speed from late 90s z28 camaros.

some thread pruning is in order... mods?

Ok all this recent tubo and SC excitement got me to go a little crazy on the couple steps of my car, well one step atleast. the drain and feed lines. I spent 175.00 on this alone when at first I was going to go the home depot route lol, so much for that idea but none the less here's the list

Copper Gasket for T3 T3/T4 Inlet manifold turbo flange x2

T3 T3/T4 Turbo Aluminum Oil Drain 10 AN Size Adapter x2
(oops, the drain lines are -8AN not 10 I have to fix that)

Goodridge 1136-9004 An-4 90 deg.Swivel Reusable fitting x2

Goodridge AN-4 straight Reusable Hose End x2

29" Goodridge 710 An-8 drain hose w/ 45 degree swivel and 90 degree swivel hose ends x2

5 feet of AN-4 Stainless Steel braided hose.

some info I found on their site
710 Hose: This exclusive Goodridge development has changed the perception of traditional fluid transfer hoses, worldwide. Constructed of a convoluted PTFE inner tube with a carbon impregnated static dissipation liner (impervious to virtually all chemicals) and covered with the industry's only source of black Aramid Fibre.

Application: Fuel, Oil, Water, Methanol, Air
Temperature Range: -45oC to +170oC
Material: Anti-Static Convoluted PTFE bore, Aramid fibre braid

200 SS Hose:
Application: Fuel, Oil, Coolants, Methanol, Water.
Temperature Range: -46oC to +150oC

Unrelated to the oil lines but related to the project I picked up a
BLITZ DUAL-SBC Spec S boost controller.

Possibly a little bit overkill but I hope to grow into it all

Are you keeping track of your spending or you just like me just saving all recipts for later tracking and final project balance?

I have not rules this out but I have to read up on it more. I have just skimmed through it as of yet.

 

[Telion]

Yes and no, I am keeping track of it on a open office file but I am trying not to pay attention to it at the same time and just trying to spread the spending out over time. I try to keep in mind everything that I may need and just wait for the best deal to come along.

Yes i know what you mean, sometimes i just do not want to know the exact amount spent, i just at this point for me there is no turning back... if it is too much... well let be... Hoping that by having this type of projects on A-L.com site will promote others to increased the quality of their cars (legends)...:yes:

 

[Telion]

Lol, it is unfolding before your eyes :angel:

Well said, part of the reason for doing as I am in the open is to gain insight and feedback from friends and members here, and to encourage others to take their Legend places they never would have dared prior to reading this. Now you my friend have taken that concept to a level even I did not imagine :bowdown:

 

[reboticon]

EXTREME low buck with a healthy amount of macgyverism.. Thats my angle. Keep out of it.

So do you have an ETA for when you will be firing this thing up? Im not talking about having it ready to run at the track im talking about just cranking it on with the turbos installed for the first time.

 

[Telion]

You know everyday I want to do it lol, but first I got to get the turbo lines run (safety measure incase I lose patience and decide to do it) Second well before that I actually want to clean out the headers and free them from any debris, I need to have the downpipe welded up, (doubt I will wait for the whole exhaust to be done) I need to have the blow off valve placed either via couplers or replacing the adapter I bought with the right size for the BOV. and complete the wiring of the power to the fusebox (minor). So realistically I am still about a month out, unless I decide to free air fire itfor a few seconds without the downpipe at super low RPM oh I also need to hook up the gauges. Still a lot to do my friend. <damn Mccain has forever ruind those two words together for me

 

[reboticon]

hmmm if thats the case any chance you can make a vid when you first fire it?

 

[Telion]

Possibly
