jnprn2003's OBP 07' Turbo upgrade in the works post 528... - Page 15

***jnprn2003*** · 05-05-2008, 03:46 PM

Yeah a stock VF43...
I did a little more prying and found a good vacuum leak on one of my catch cans...(running concern)...I will do another (3rd) compression test this weekend to see...I will be sure to get her nice and hot.

i thought i didnt like wingless but this car makes me like wingless a little more.. nice car.

***jnprn2003*** · 05-06-2008, 04:11 PM

So I fixed a few Vacuum leaks found in my oil catch cans (removed them for now) and reset the ecu...car now runs like a champ!

I am getting a shortblock from XXtuning/EFI Logics instead of the nice gent on NASIOC. We'll see what happens from there.

Subaru13 · 05-06-2008, 04:32 PM

nice joe, what the xx shortblock come with??

***jnprn2003*** · 05-06-2008, 04:38 PM

^^^
It is just a stock block that I will bore to 100mm, CP pistons, Mahle rods, machined and improved stock crank... I am going to do this slowly over time and do it right.

How's it going Joe? This turbo setup is going to be very cool! Your car is going to be NUTS after!

***jnprn2003*** · 05-13-2008, 11:42 PM

So I did another compression test...I found a leaky o-ring on my tester. I had mid to high 130s on all cylinders. I think they are a little bit higher because I also tested the compression tester and it was about 10 lbs off (lower). This is good news for me...

On that note my motor build will be in the not so near future...it still will happen but not this summer...probably over this upcoming winter and spring.

I ordered up some goodies too...
WC Lathe Works 1lbs sphere shift knob.
Element Tuning air-oil seperator.
Gimmick Turbo Inlet

And I may try and see if I like it...an e-bay CF vortex generator...

**Seventy STi** · 05-14-2008, 12:12 AM

Element Tuning air-oil seperator.

That good to hear dude.... When you do the shortblock what you thinking??
Your gonna love that WC Lathe Knob its nice feels like I did bushings or something it makes the shifts so smooth bro, your gonna love it.. I said that already... How much was the element air/oil? I just got the crawford air/oil its nice a little pricey but.. I am getting my DOM 3 and Meth this week plus the tune.. Hopefully the block will be ok.. Good luck let me know how you make out
