Turbo inlet screen?
 

On the "other" forum there was a guy who had one of his cats self destruct, which sent metal bits into the turbo - do you use a screen or anything?

It's in the best interest of performance and turbo health to go catless with a setup like this... I'm not really a firm believer of catalytic converters to begin with, though, so whatever :tiphat:

Was that other forum MY350 aka the Douche forum aka where you go if you want to be afraid to ask questions and post your opinion? Also Cats should never be left in your exhaust system for any reason. Besides PETA getting upset, and it being a HUGE restriction in your exhaust, i'm sure a cat self destructing in your exhaust would would probably ruin the paint on your bumper as well as making your car smell like a dead animal after a while.

I have long tubes... So no cats :)

There will be more pics this weekend but just been spending a lot of time on customers cars and on my aquatrax (also turbocharged) LOL

ooohhhh long tubes are double edged sword on RMT's. get those babies jet hotted and wrapped stat.

This should be interesting....btw...Aquatrax=:tup: I got one too!!

Aquatrax = slow but reliable.

i dont race it just wave jump and dive off it.

Subscribing to watch progress....

Yep..Fbody guys that have long tubes put the stock manifolds back on.

We will see. Hopefully not but I still have all my original parts.

the original ones wouldn't be any better really because we don't have cast factory manifolds. what you are looking for is heat retention. Every body says it's exhaust heat that spins turbos and i know from doing a rmt that, that is crap but there is truth to it because the heat in the exhaust makes the air expand and that increases the pressure which does spool the turbo faster than air that is cooling down and causing a backup in the pipes. most of the heat is lost through the headers where the temperature delta is greatest, so with a rmt it is critical to coat and wrap exhaust components for maximum spool time reduction which equals more power, sooner. i would get the headers ceramic coated, and then wrap the whole system from the block to the turbo in heat wrap. of course jet hot would cost about $300 plus shipping and that much heat tape would be another 150 or so but the whole system could decrease the spool time by 300rpm or more, so from boost at 4000 to boost at 3700

Keep it comin J!!....I know you will find tons of power in the new setup!!....

hey jack, so busy right now. havent done too much yet also ill be by tomorrow for tuning i finished the 350z single turbo car.

more parts came in, tail waste gate , heat exchanger, hks bov pics will be up in a few days. I am about to order in some more gofast goodies... boost controller, oil pan spacer, injectors and misc bits.wootwoot

In for vids after install.

Jay you got the heat exchanger already? Also...let me know how that oil pan spacer goes, I'm interested in making my oil changes more expensive.

yup yup, gots the heat exchanger. ill let u know about the spacer:tup:

more parts shipped today: injectors, intercooler, charge piping... getting closer wootwoot

now... just to find time to work on it hummmmm....

budget still 3500?

actually yes , and i have purchased all items new. when im done ill do a price breakdown.

wow nice. Im really excited about this project!

I'm not sure if this has been asked before, but how do you plan to tune it? UpRev?

Props to you for pulling something like that off

Uprev.

rcz is correct, i already have the license.

I know STS is having a few issues with their kit. Im not sure how your custom setup will differ, but good luck!

like?

aam oil pan spacer arrived.

ohhhh its like christmas...wootwoot...more parts came in today. Air to water intercooler, injectors, more charge piping and misc. bits.

What is left to get?

Misc. stuff like oil feed line/return line, fittings etc... then just get some free time to actually adapt it to the car. Oh also need a boost controller ie: profec b spec 2,

pics!!!

Its tought finding time... after i finish this gtm tt kit i have another 40th aniversary coming in for a stillen supercharger so busy which is a good thing :)

Basicially its a big pile of parts, there will be a lot of pics when go to installing it.

:tup:

Please do mine next!
