if you are referring to the fog light. it is suppose to be a run by a switch. I have not made a harness yet so it does stay on all the time at the moment. I am working on a hybrid USDM one that will light up with the parking lights (dimly like USDM) and then switch operated for the foglight. :)

- Sat Mar 01, 2008 10:06 am #44249 Finished installing the turbo today... it was rather long and tiring.. I didn't expect to run into many problems.


T3 Super60 OUT, GT2871R IN

in the process..

First one I ran into were the fittings I bought were not the proper angle. The 45 AN fittings would hit the block..something I did not anticipate since most GT kits gave you two 45s.. But luckily I had a 90 for the water port adapter so I used that and routed the coolant line all the way to the back from the PS side.

Now my front water port with a 45 to the front 45 looks hilarious as in the final pic..

Image


still some minor stuff to take care of as coolant is leaking at the water port (guess not enough teflon for the top plug)

and the turbo needs a mesh and tuning.. :)

Dope set-up tho. Reminds me of one of my old set-ups besides I ran a Full-Race manifold and GT28R.

the low compression pistons dont help with the psi either :(

yea..I need a few more things to lower the psi needs. I'm working with what I got right now. We opt to stop on the dyno, since i have ACT stage 1 clutch which is a oem disc with aem pressure plates.
