thanks man.

i'm HOPING to finish it up this week and start debugging this weekend....and make the XS BBQ next weekend.

turbo isn't anything big, just a GT3582R. the manifold makes it sit up nice and high, so it looks far larger than it is.


haha very nice...i've always been a fan of ur work!

thanks man!

Looking very good Adam, as expected!
That's an awesome sticker.. lol

Do they make the ATI covers smoked or did you do that?

[NDBoost]

It lives!

:aigo: is that radiator neccisary???? lol... looks very nice :D

[supra90turbo]

Well then, I'll have to get one of those, and tint it or get it tinted... thanks!

[drjonez]

I don't see any pictures, dammit!

Jeff

heh. just keep hitting reload....blame neureal!


:aigo: is that radiator neccisary???? lol... looks very nice :D

sure is. i don't like overheating. this is to be the "last" iteration of the MKIII that i will own...i.e. i'm doing everything right the first time. the car will probably see a fair amount of track time, so a big fat rad, oil cooler and PS cooler is def. necessary.

[drjonez]

Well then, I'll have to get one of those, and tint it or get it tinted... thanks!

[jimi87-t]

The thermostat housing, flipped the direction, I did that on mine too. :icon_bigg

Pic:

[drjonez]

ah. i did that like 3 yrs ago on my prev. setup....

[silver88turbo]

Sweet. Nice work as always. I cant wait to actually see some #s for that snail on a 7M. Do you expect it to spool as soon as your sp57(58?)?

[jimi87-t]

Yeah, I've seen it done a few times, not too common though, so I like seeing it done.

Haha. The cam gear cover is the best part. Awesome work as always Doc.

[drjonez]

it had better! if it doesn't i'm going back to the "old skool" SP57....the spool was fantastic!

everyone else- thanks!

[Rajunz]

Looks awesome Doc, can't wait to see the final product. black MKIII should look hot! Glad to see it's getting close to being finished!

[Brewster]

needs more 1j!


but seriously, it looks good.

[92turbo4life]

OT sry doc..
but brew ur sig looks so sweet lol!

[NDBoost]

needs more 1j!


but seriously, it looks good.
god damn you, is that a merc?

[Mr.PFloyd]

god damn you, is that a merc?
stay on topic damnit lol.
YO Doc, i was reading the 7m power site when i was in poland for some odd reason, and i read up on your car. I was wondering, who did you end up taking for the free dinner for 2 when you bought the car? i hope it wasnt your mom :stickpoke


:biglaugh:

[aye mate]

Nice looking set up, Doc! Can't wait to see it running. And yes, Pre-89 is the shiznatts.

[Nick M]

And I thought we would get to see some carnage...

[Doward]

Any pics of that bottom radiator hose? I'm curious as to how you got it over there!

[drjonez]

stay on topic damnit lol.

werd. crazy off topic freaks!

IIRC i gave the free dinner to my parents? i dunno....it's been like 7? yrs?


Any pics of that bottom radiator hose? I'm curious as to how you got it over there!

i'll see if i can get some pix. the only real way to do it is splice 2 hoses together. i used 1/2 the stocker and an "adaptor" hose i found @ an auto parts store. long term plan is to build one out of SS braid or steel.

for those that care, i managed to get the IC piping done last night. woooooooooooooooooooooooo. chances are fairly good that it will run this w/e.

[Loki]

Looks good Doc, can't wait to see it all done.

[87_7MGTE]

Love the GT35/r. Looks good man, as always

[shaeff]

[Stanzaspeed]

what hot side a/r are you using on the GT35R doc?

[Reign_Maker]

MORE PICCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCS!!!

[drjonez]

what hot side a/r are you using on the GT35R doc?

was .82 T4, the ATP housing.

lots of pix:

http://mkiiitech.com/drj/blackcar/

[Stanzaspeed]

what kind of power / spool time are you expecting with it. sorry about the dumb questions but im going to be in the market for a turbo soon and i was looking at a GT30 or GT35. :1zhelp:

project looks wicked from those pics BTW! :love:

[drjonez]

according to the math, etc. the spool and power should be similar to what i had w/the SP57....just a touch better all around. too bad i'll never find out:

http://www.4cefed.com/temp/deadGT35R.avi

[Stanzaspeed]

holy crap! what happened to it! :wtc:

[Reign_Maker]

holy crap! what happened to it! :wtc:
NO SHIT! Double you tea eff!!!

[MK3Brent]

:( that's terrible.

Are you going to rebuild it, or just get something different?

[Reign_Maker]

So what is it with you guys putting HKS and TiAL bov's on there? And what kind of radiator is that?

[MK3Brent]

(I'll make a guess, but he may do it for other reasons.)

Tial makes stiff springs, so you're likely to surge on low boost shifts. Running a tial with a bov like the ssq (pull type) helps relieve this.

SSQ because theoretically the style of valve is unlikely to leak boost.

My tial's spring is so soft I don't surge much at all... and so far isn't leaking boost.

[NJsupraA70]

Since navigating through your picture albumn took a few minutes, I figured Id direct link the pics here for everyone elses convenience :):

Looks great Adam! Too bad about the turbo. Are you going to try anther, or go another route?

[drjonez]

holy crap! what happened to it! :wtc:

wish i knew...it's one of a few things- bad oil filter, crap in oil feed line, bad turbo.

[drjonez]

:( that's terrible.

Are you going to rebuild it, or just get something different?

it is terrible.

i'm waiting to hear back on the verdict from ATP.

[drjonez]

So what is it with you guys putting HKS and TiAL bov's on there? And what kind of radiator is that?

simple- HK$ for low boost, tial for high.

that's a custom ron davis rad. no idea what car it was for.

[NashMan]

looking nice man i see u are reuseing the npr

[drjonez]

looking nice man i see u are reuseing the npr

sure am, no complaints w/it.....other than i wish the outlet was straight out, would make plumbing much easier....

[NashMan]

i know what you mena

[Reign_Maker]

simple- HK$ for low boost, tial for high. Well, I have an HKS, I think I just might go with a TiAL too... You have a sound clip of it?

[drjonez]

nope, no sound clip....but it sounds just like a nice PSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. almost like a blitz DD....

[BJ91T]

Dr J its looking sweet man!!!

[shaeff]

damn. that's just straight up ridiculous! :( i hope ATP finds that the turbo was going to die from the start, and isn't the fault of your motor or accessories!

good luck!

-shaeff

[NashMan]

what size tire's are you runing the front look like 255

[RHDMK3]

werd <'88 RULES!

as for pix, my host sux. :3d_frown:

I beg to differ!! LOL. Nice setup man!!

[drjonez]

damn. that's just straight up ridiculous! :( i hope ATP finds that the turbo was going to die from the start, and isn't the fault of your motor or accessories!

-shaeff

it does suck. got the offical word today, oil inlet totally clogged. so, looks like my oil filter was stuck open or thte line had junk in it (which doesn't make sense since it was fine on the SP57...). so, $900 to get it fixed....donations anyone? oi.

275s, same as i've been running for yrs...
