Shot with my Hero2
6+ hours of footage in 3 Minutes




Thanks again to everyone for their help.
- NF Performance - helping since day one and making this very stress free
- Ryan, Roger and Nuke for coming over to my house to help
- Ben for giving up time with family to lend a hand
- Mike and Nick for coming over to hang out and help

 

Cool vid I dig it. If this was recent, I hope you have a heated garage!

 

It was Tuesday and Wednesday night.

Yeah... the heater is sitting off to the right side.

 

Yeah it wasn't to bad we had a propane heater. It got a little chilly at times but we can hang

 

Good job guys. Well done. I like the song too.

 

Thanks man. Its old, i think we recorded it in 2005.... but i wanted to use something of my own

 

Fastest engine pull I have ever seen. COOL.

 

When do we see one with the engine going in?

 

I could do that... it was pretty easy to put together after i changed some settings on Sony Vegas to prevent ghosting. I might have to borrow a third battery from Ben for the GoPro so i don't miss anything this time.

 

Everyone's taking their engines out super fast, do something different... put one in super slow? So whatcha going do, built engine and a big turbo?

 

I would like to do a larger turbo, but this happened at a bad time. So i am doing the basics to setup for the future. If i did the turbo, i would want to do the tranny too.

Machine the engine
Manley pistons,
ACL race bearings,
Main and connecting rods,
Manley turbo tuff i beam connecting rods
Head Gasket Studs (AMR... IIRC?!?)
Subaru Gasket Kit (for Head Gasket)
Air pump delete. Already had the pump removed. Now we are removing the lines and gasket/covers for the engine.
Exedy stage 2 clutch

 

Everybody wants to do the tranny.

 

Where can we get the song?

 

I have it on sound cloud for free download. PM me.

 

ARP head studs

 

I knew i had it wrong... i was too lazy to look for my invoice.

 

Didn't make the list

 

Still also running stock transmission. I'll have to do more work if i want to go larger correctly. Not sure what the stock setup can hold HP wise. So i can't really answer your question.

 

I know. I am in good hands. I am not worried.

Budget is the biggest factor. This wasn't a planned upgrade.

 

Did you pick them up at Home Depot and paid them with beer and pizza? Those guys are really fast....

 

Damn, it always comes down to that.

 

Crank? Use stock. You want other good quality aftermarket crank? It'll cost as much as your build

 

Derek's turbo. Looking fresh!

 

Looks great Ben. Thanks for the photos.... it's so clean. Did you do that or was it the work of NF?

Edit... just noticed some residue from my gasket maker. I need to pick up a GS gasket when I put this all back together. The IPR TMIC one that I have sucks balls.

 

I cleaned it. I removed as much of the gasket maker as I could. The sealing surface is flat, but there is still some silicone visible.

GrimmSpeed doesn't make that gasket yet. Hopefully their 08+ TMIC gaskets come out soon because I'm sure a lot of people could use them!

 

Damn. I have to go over there for an exhaust gasket tomorrow. I was hoping they would have a turbo one too. Any idea on who carries a good replacement? I dont like what i have.

 

OEM?

 

Maybe. What came with my TMIC sucks.

 

The OEM TMIC seal is an o-ring type gasket. It allows for a reasonable amount of "squeeze" and usually creates a good seal.



The IPR TMIC has an o-ring gland, but I do not believe it actually comes with an o-ring. Only a flat, hard plastic "gasket" or spacer.



The spacer is not likely to seal well, and I believe Derek found this out, and that's why he used silicone.

Instead of using the spacer you could buy an o-ring to fit the gland (the OEM one will not so you'd just have to go the hardware store and see what fits), but I don't know how well it will seal, because it will be an o-ring with a relatively small cross section (due to the dimensions of the gland). If you go that route, then don't use the spacer, unless you're still going to do silicone on the bottom of the spacer.

Honestly the silicone may be the best option. I tried the gasket/spacer, and nothing else, and it didn't seal well. Then I went to just the o-ring and it did seem to work OK, but it wasn't perfect. The silicone is a mess (especially if you have to take it on and off a lot), but it should do the job pretty well. The other option (that I didn't try) is to cut a custom gasket yourself. Just find some gasket material from the auto parts store and trace out your pattern and cut.

 

I got you bro

 

I'm excited to see it.

 

plan is to weld the IC onto your turbo. no more gaskets!

 

If by weld you mean JB Weld... then I am for it. Seems like the best scientific approach.

 

I have a template. However, don't we want a gasket like material. Similar to a crush washer. I think since the turbo and TMIC are not perfect surfaces it may leak when we have a perfect gasket. We want something that we can tighten down and flatten.... right?

 

Deal, Sold... where do I sign up. Lets get that BWW and I can give you the gasket I have as a template. We can work out the details.

 

Steve - Can you cut BOV gaskets from rubber?

 

u mad bro?

 

That picture is fantastic. I love that my video is sped up to like 1800X normal speed and you find this awesome shot. It has so much going on..... hat 1/2 on, safety glasses from draining the coolant, me ripping old white t-shirts for rags, and i might be pooping.
