okay. so got to take the micra for a quick spin last night.
scotty finished the front pipe looks beautiful.... so to recap....
scotty customs manifold to 33gtr turbo, stock dump pipe to scotty customs 2.5inch front pipe, stock 3 inch cat and 2 inch cat back to VAG diesel muffler.
all that is left is intercooler piping and me to fit the cooler up tonight.
have two options so i can use it for a couple of weeks, leave wastgate open and have 1-2psi of boost, or diconnect cooler piping and runa pod filter on intake......
anyway also changed the throttle body to a ga15, much bigger throttle body. and a more reliable afm. in future if found to be a restriction, will simply place rb25 or z32 afm in cooler piping and by pass stock afm.
i originally set my self a budget of 2k for turbo and tune, knowing full well this was a dream.
initial set backs where had with the modified standard manifold not being up to the job and having to go custom, but this was saved by the oem dump fitting perfectly, so money spent, money saved kinda equalled out.
the lengths we went too to save cash is pretty extreme! (leaving sump on to drill return with magnets in it to catch sworf, using 2 different types of oil to flush engine, cutting our own flanges for the manifold, me die grinding the shit out of everything, doing all the shit jobs my self etc etc) cant say enough of a thanks to scotty for this! (inb4 he charges me a ridiculous amount for cooler piping now hahahahahah)
lets just say 2500 isnt dreaming with a tune, and ill have change. sure there is a few 20-30 dollars here and there i havent accounted for, but to say this will be turbo an on the road for 4 grand, after being sat in a wreckers is a miracle. the fact that some turbo builds cost twice that alone, with out the car just shows how cheap ive got things and how good my friends are with coming thru for me.
anyway enough mush we arnt finished yet. ill update after cooler is in. maybe with some videos etc.
