FrankensteinZ31Could u just have an oil reservoir in the back that the electric pump connects too then you wouldn't have to take oil from the engine all the way back to the turbo?  Would you need 2 pumps?  Or if you had the turbo gravity supplied with oil would you be able to mount the reservoir above the turbo and run a line to it then pump the oil out?  Just trying to get some more ideas
Tons of great remote turbo info here..its all LS1 but the same principles apply...read all threads by ZOMBIE!!

i borrowed a friends compression tester and gave it a go...pretty decent results with 170psi more or less across the bunch...threw in a new set of NGK and gapped them @ .035"...the old set looked pretty good[June 2005]...tan-ish color on the porcelin...no detonation damage.

i pulled out the IC for some repairs..here is a pix of the HOBBS switch which activates the meth injection..

The last one doesn't work.

mcNov 22, 2009, 7:43 am · #405

fixed the link...24 deg timing..meth injection[pre-turbo] is spraying with the orange lite[need to adjust the on-set ]...i need to launch harder..the 225-50-16 dont spin as easy!

mcNov 23, 2009, 12:47 pm · #406

another weekend of excellent weather iN NY...i was able to do a 0-60=5.7sec...really poor video as the camera didnt pick up the tach/meth light...its just the boost guage and the tires squeeling on the launch...Boost 11.5psi...3500rpm launch....really needs LSD unit.

Til I get the parts for a turbo, the only thing I can say is...

THANK YOU C-S12 FOR NO ADS!!!

mcDec 16, 2009, 1:42 pm · #408

...new best 0-60mph = 5.6sec...the camera shut down so there is no video...VC200 TIMER estimates 255hp...11.5psi boost.

cannan89Dec 16, 2009, 6:12 pm · #409

Lol, in the vid in post 383 you left your turn signal on the whole time...

mcDec 18, 2009, 11:03 am · #410

...here is some AFM data using a accurate meter..i tapped into the AFM harness[its the "B" terminal] to monitor the voltage output with my blow through AFM set-up..its pretty close to some data i posted awhile back...AFM seems consistant/repeatable..reving the car in neutral=
IDLE/750RPM...2.55VOLTS
1500RPM.......2.87
2000RPM.......3.02
2500RPM.......3.20
3000RPM.......3.35
3500RPM.......3.44
4000RPM.......3.59
..I took it for a test run and at 10psi its putting out 5.88volts.

mcJan 15, 2010, 4:19 pm · #411

i picked up a electric fuel pressure guage and a pod...it'll be interesting to see the  fuel pressure under boost.

Should be 55.6PSI.

David BJan 15, 2010, 10:57 pm · #413

what pump are you running??

mcJan 16, 2010, 6:20 am · #414
David Bwhat pump are you running??
Stock original SE pump..idles at 30psi..0 vacuum it goes to 38 psi..tried to get data under boost last nite but the exhaust blew a connection feeding the turbo..it'll have to wait.
mcJan 17, 2010, 6:31 pm · #415

...patched-up the exhaust leak and took it for another test...roads were still damp but was able to take it up to 13psi boost...fuel pressure guage has a cool feature,it records high/low data...it recorded  a high 44psi.

mcJan 18, 2010, 6:43 pm · #416

i built this wastegate controller from a article in Autospeed...it works amazing,the car boost's so much faster..it keeps the wastegate shut till it hits the set pressure...i purchased all the parts through Mcmaster-Carr.

Not to nit-pick but you need to change out your clutch fluid my friend.

I love your build and you just keep making it better. You need to make it to a track this summer and get some QM times.

it looks pretty bad, but its just stained[original part]...fluid was changed when i blew the dampner hose....i wish there was a closer track.
mcJan 21, 2010, 9:12 pm · #419

i mounted up another thermocouple in the exhaust,its toward the rear of the cheater pipe..i drilled and mounted a fitting for the 1/8" probe.....it recorded 1100F @ 13psi....600F @idle

i relocated the 2 activation LED's[meth,ect] to the guage pod.

MC you have the ULTIMATE SE.

mcFeb 3, 2010, 1:51 pm · #425

...ULTIMATE SE?? that is funny!!..thanks guys, i'm glad its appreciated!!..i took a video of the LED in action...LED is from Radioshack..its pretty bright even in daylite.

mcFeb 7, 2010, 11:34 am · #426

..best tool i've bought in a long time...and its the only reason i've gotten stuff done on the SE lately...runs off the bbq propane tank and puts out enough heat to make garage comfortable.

i lovethe updates

mcFeb 10, 2010, 9:14 am · #428

i had a tranny cooler laying around so i decided to use it connected to the bypassed T/B coolant lines...i sandwiched it in between the front fan and radiator..it should help.

mcFeb 21, 2010, 4:18 pm · #429

i relocated the battery to hatch area...i used 2 guage wire and a cheap-o Walmart battery box.

vg30e_x2_200sxFeb 22, 2010, 12:04 am · #430

Did you vent it outside? You really need to in a hatch.
Seal the box with weather strip and run a vent through the floor if you can.

i'll look around for some sort of tubing to attach and vent...you have any pixs of vented cases?

thx...i thought it would of needed a wider hose...easy enough.
vg30e_x2_200sxFeb 23, 2010, 1:58 am · #434

Nah, not really. It just needs to be able to vent the gasses out of the passenger compartment.
I think the hardest thing you're going to have to deal with is sealing up that cheapo box.

..i found some similar closed cell foam gasket material in the McMaster-Carr site so it can be sealed correctly...also found some seat belt latch's to hold it securely to the floor.

..new addition..DevilsOwn 220psi pump replacing a windshield washer pump.

mcMar 8, 2010, 7:35 pm · #437

..the engine bay is getting tight to mount the pump so i relocated it in the hatch area next to the battery...also mounted the reservoir in the back...works out pretty good as i,m just spraying pre turbo so its really short delivery...it'll stay cooler located in the hatch.

nice build. even tho I'm not a big fan of remote turbo set ups, but this one is nice. budget build?

yeah...its a low $$$$ fun car.

i bet! looks fun. have u got it on a dyno yet?

mcMar 10, 2010, 9:35 pm · #442
Johnny_boii bet! looks fun. have u got it on a dyno yet?
nope..i just use the VC200 accelerometer timer to crunch the numbers...i have a new best 0-60mph in 5.2sec,,and .089g=280hp[give or take]...14psi

mcMar 27, 2010, 11:06 pm · #443

...new camera mount..i like how it catches the tach/boost/fuel pressure/meth activation/AFR info, which are difficult to monitor during the run...NEW BEST 0-60 mph= 5.1sec...15 psi

yeah, its a funky viewing angle!!..i better get a viewer disclaimer posted!!
..it works for my needs..boost builds at 3200rpm...hits 10psi in first gear at 5500rpm..i just need to get a shade over the WB display to catch its data.
