BlackT5 Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 (edited) EDIT: My thread was neutered during the unarchiving process, so half of it is gone.. I've updated the first post with some pics. Latest upgrades start on page 17/18 Click here for the latest My setup started out with a 19T, BSR downpipe. BSR exhaust and Upsolute tune from Bill@adrenaline racing. This lasted just over a month before a few rods bent from detonation. I had a local machine shop tear the motor down and install VMS rods and pistons (I was one of Terry's first customers) I sent the head out to get ported/polished, 3 angle valve job, etc.. I ran the built motor with the same 19T, exhaust and tune I had before but never heard the sound of detonation. I beat the shit outta this thing for almost 3 years but I wanted more. The newest setup: 1998 B5234T3 Eagle rods Ross pistons Balanced rotating assembly Arp headstuds Ported/polished head 3 angle valve job Catcams camshafts Autotech racing valve springs Coil on plug conversion 850 T5-R flywheel Spec stage 3+ clutch Quaife LSD Race Lab tubular exhaust manifold GT35R (T3 0.82/.70 A/R) Tial 44mm wastegate Tial 50mm blow off valve Precision 600hp intercooler NA throttlebody 2.5" intercooler piping 3" turbo back exhaust Siemens 875cc injectors - Upgrading to ID1000s Walbro 255lph Fuelab 10 micron filter PTFE -6 fuel lines to tank Aeromotive FPR S60R fuel rail DO88 aluminum radiator Custom external oil cooler Nira i3+ EMS KW v2 coilovers IPD sway bars OMP strut brace Rear upper shock brace S60R caliper coversion front & rear 330mm rotors all around GReddy Boost gauge GReddy Oil pressure gauge Innovate LC-1 Wideband o2 V70R door panels V70R instrument cluster 04 C70 Jewel headlights & corners V70R front bumper STI front lip Mirzam 18x8" wheels 235/40R18 10mm spacers front 20mm spacers rear a few pics from the build.. The car is off the road for the winter turbo upgrade http://volvospeed.com/vs_forum/public/style_emoticons/#EMO_DIR#/biggrin.gif 19T was the first to come off, as was the stock IC and the BSR exhaust. 19T and GT35R: Precision intercooler mocked up: S60R manifold and new turbo mocked up. The turbo will end up sitting higher as I only had 8mm studs to mount it and the hole in the turbine flange and a fair size larger. It's close to the mount, but like i said, it will sit a bit higher after final install. I had originally planned on having a tubular exhuast manifold made, but ended up using the S60R manifold to save myself some headaches. I still wanted to run the external wastegate so I switched over to a 5 bolt turbine. 4 bolt: 5 bolt: Installed the Innovate WB02 and XD16 gauge: Siemens 630cc injectors: New coolant lines and fittings: GT install kit. I'm hoping I will luck out and be able to use the stock return line, but we'll see. Oil feed setup: Next step is to run the IC piping and drop in the NA cams. The 3" exhaust/external wastegate setup is being fabbed locally after I get all this other stuff done. Tuning.. yes I know someone's going to ask... is still up in the air. Nira is a possibility if the budget permits. I currently have a dualmass flywheel and spec stage III clutch installed. I have purchased a T5R singlemass flywheel but am still on the hunt for a good clutch. I will stick with the dualmass for a while and just keep the boost down until I can find a clutch and get my hands on a LSD. That way, it can all be done at once and then I can crank the boost up. Updating this with some new pics since the last half of my thread got lost. Edited October 7, 2016 by BlackT5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
