(05-02-2012, 09:07 AM)SurfRodder I think i still have the one i just removed in my garage waste bin, PM me your addy and ill send it to you. I get the good ones dirt cheap, like less than $5 from my local OEM distributor.Don't worry about it, I pay that same few dollars for one at the store too. I just re use them by cleaning them because I am very thrifty. I mean cheap and poor.

yeah and its been that way for 2+ years now... planning on cutting a new quarter off a junker and welding it in place of that one... just dont have the time for such an adventure right now... gotta try to do motor mounts this weekend, my drivers side one is almost gone and its rattling like crazy now. maybe when schools done next winter I can look at doing the cosmetic shite...

(05-03-2012, 01:02 AM)DeliveryValve This thing is sounding great! Very nice touch on the engine bay. I'm quite jealous of how it looks.
I'm curious how it pulls through out the RPM ranges. I know you say your laying some thick smoke, but aside from that fact, how's it at the bottom end? And is there any point of it choking at the top end? Again, great job!

So, after installing new motor mounts 2 weekends back, I went for a
test drive and the PS pulley got a little close to the upper radiator
hose I have cobbled together until my flex lines come in... anyway,
lost most of the coolant before I could get into a safe work spot...
saw the issue, removed and taped hose to make it home, but apparently
didnt wait long enough to let the block/head cool down before adding
more coolant...a few days later (last Wed) crazy overheating on the
way home... thought it was one of my ghetto rigged hoses, so I
reclamped it, waited for it to cool and topped her off... made it
almost all the way home and it happens again... this time I'm on
surface streets and can see steam exiting my exhaust pipe... uh-oh...
After another cool down and refill, I get home and check the oil,
etc... definitely blown head gasket. So you can guess how my weekend
went....
On the plus side, this SNAFU allowed me to re-time my IP according to tomnik's recommendations and install my upgraded turbo drain and oil separator drain lines in the upper pan. Now, the car is even better performing and encourages me to play with timing some more when time permits... Anyway, here's some pics:
Installed Schtuff:
new head gasket:
iron pipe fittings to collect oil from turbo and separator:
closeup of drain fittings:
closeup of hose and modified drain fitting from turbo:
Future Schtuff:
test fit of intake and exhaust mainfolds from w115:
w115 Exhaust manifold clearance to chassis (minimum):
from above measurement, potential turbo placement would be here with and up/forward pipe from collector:
should leave enough room for my '85 intake to the front and keep from hitting the shock/spring pocket to the rear.
So pretty much the only hose i haven't upgraded came loose yesterday and caused a loss of power akin to swapping back my old pump... after conferring with Delivery Valve via SMS yesterday I checked the signal line to the overboost solenoid and sure enough, the silicone,hide i used to fix a leak several months ago was a bit loose... so i put a couple of zip ties on it to troubleshoot and full power returned... I've ordered the adapters to convert that line over to stainless braid too and I think that's the last hose left save vacuum lock system ones that haven't been swapped. Anyway, just making a public kudos to Richard for helping me troubleshoot the issue yesterday.
Hey Thanks for the props!
On the turbo drain line, the split is for an oil separator drain line? You should have one already if the upper oil pan is original.
Pics look good on your install. I'll see what I can do for that extension pipe and manifold flange for the turbo.
.
Yeah, there is one there for separator too, but it is too close to the other one to attach the fitting to it. Plus it looked a bit more of a pita to take that one off to modify. I ended up putting a temp plug in it so i could use it in the future if necessary.
If i ever tear the engine completely down, i will make two separate connections akin to the stock setup....but if i do that it will just be the AN adapters tig welded to the upper pan... no need for anything else.
Thanks again for all the advice!
Here you go gents, as promised...sorry it took so long to get these posted!

Your car looks like its running great! No comparison to stock, I have my pump in and a master power R444-2 with 3" mandrel exhaust and it is awesome. My max boost is set at 16psi right now and the egt's stay normally around 8-900 cruising at 70mph and on the long hills in the mountains I can get them up to 1250-1300 so I might try a bit higher boost? How much boost are you running and do ou know the EGT's?
Thanks
(06-06-2012, 12:15 AM)kmaser so I might try a bit higher boost?that should help...if you know what your pre and post compressor temps are you can likely find a sweet spot... or preferably if you have teh maps, dial it in to whatever boost looks like is best... Im sure the pump will be able to supply enough fuel...
(06-06-2012, 12:15 AM)kmaser How much boost are you running and do you know the EGT's?my original plan was to install the new manifolds and turbo and pump all at once...with EGT probes for pre and post turbo (just for curiosity's sake), W/M & propane injection... but havent yet had the chance... im still trying to get the timing dialed in(was much quieter & a little smoother before replacing head gasket and retiming(from 26* to 22*...but a little more power now) and I think ill bebuild/poptest my stock injectors before completing the rest of the upgrades... still have to get something fabbed up for the Ex to turbo hookup, not to mention the downpipe, etc. intake should be relatively easy with what I have on hand.

An stuff that would handle fuel pressure? I don't recall the math but isn't it like 2500 psi?

Sounds good dude
latest upgrades...
filter mount and t-stat
adapter with the turbo feed pointing aft...

larsalan I guess I need to look at this stupid ass drip shit. What you have to like mess with those elements on the pump? What a fucking hassle. then use some wire to hold the throttle open or some shit?
Don't know how I missed this, awesome build

Still need to repair the quarter panel on the left side. New plans are to drop in my spare om603 and after that and put her up for sale. I am going to build up my om606 and drop that into my s124 and take that 603 to get my 87 jeep XJ registered as a diesel.

What about the monster 617 with Tomnik elements?
