2.0L 8V turbo C20GET Lemans

Post by **PrecisionBoost** » Thu Feb 01, 2007 3:10 am

Well...... after nearly 8 months of patient waiting some of my new parts arrived !

I recieved a 6 pack ceramic clutch with Sachs HD pressure plate and my new 8V T3 turbo manifold

Finally I will be able to get some work done on my car.

First thing is first.... I have to take it over and get an inspection done so I can register it in Alberta..... then the mods will start

Here are some pics....

This is my new turbo manifold after 2 very long hours of blending walls, removing large ridges and casting defects....

This is a picture of the manifold with my T3/T04E hybrid turbo and external waste gate

Here are some of my performance parts....

8V adjustable cam gear

8V underdrive pulley and 16V underdrive pulley

A Dozen oil jets ( piston coolers )

A couple sets of ARP rod bolts and a set of ARP cylinder head studs

MSD blaster coil ( Neon ), MSD programable ignition system, MSD remote programmer (so you don't need laptop)

Adjustable rising rate fuel pressure regulator

External wastegate

VBand kit (since my turbo has a Vband downpipe connector )

Cometic MLS Gasket

JE forged pistons.... still need to machine them once I figure out what compression I want to go with.

Set of C20LET connecting rods.... debeamed and polished.... still need to shotpeen them.

My T3/T04E compressor with divided T3 flange (will build an equal length divided flange turbo manifold later)

Workbench in garage with my other 16V Cast iron turbo manifold

Top of the line OBDII reader with live data streaming and data capture (so I can capture vital information such as ignition advance during tuning )

Bookshelf with all my tuner magazines..... dating back to 1999

Some of my other Opel/Daewoo motors, intakes, transmissions and stuff I've collected over the last few years.

More images to come.....
I just purchased a GMC Cyclone 255 High Pressure fuel pump (shipped today)
Two Inovattive wideband LC1 O2 monitor systems
Autometer Pyrometer
Various other parts.... 20ft of stainless seamless 1.5" tubing... 20ft of 2.5" stainles seamless 2.5" tubing.... various mandrel bends, couplers, clamps

1. Why do YOU get to be a sticky in the general section?

2. Nice

3. Where are your parts that were designed and made by me that we haven't discussed at all but I'll end up making cause I really need stuff to do and I know you want some "Made In the USA" stuff on your car or better yet "Audacity Motorsports" or even "Audacity Racing" labeled parts that I will end up designing at the least and runnign things like FEA and CFD on because you want the best possible performance while maintaining your not-so-shoestring budget

NICE!! lots of pretty toys i see.I was wondering how much did you pay for the UD pulleys. I have got to say that i LOVE that manifold very sexy!!

1) That was an accident... I moved it
2) Got some other nice goodies on a different camera (these ones were taken with my phone)
3) Are you talking about the mounts? If so... PM me... if not... I'm not sure what your talking about.... is your shop setup allready?

Underdrive pullies.... well.... the 8V I bought off Tom after he blew his 8V C20GET

The 16V.... that was free..... I financed the machining costs for 360 Dynamics.... so as a result I got one free pully ( instead of paying interest )

They are small jets that are press fit into the oil supply.... when the oil pressure goes over 40psi it starts shooting a stream of oil out of the end.

Basicly.... the oil jets are positioned such that they spray oil on the back side of the piston... which cools the pistons (and transfers the heat to the oil)

They are used on many high performance turbo engines.... our engines don't come will them stock... but there are several sites (such as Migweb) where there are links to "how to install oil jets" into the 2.0L block.

The process requires someone very experienced to do the modifications.... it's definitly not something your every day joe should attmept to try.

I still have a set of X20XEV forged pistons, two sets of race piston pins, another clutch and pressure plate on it's way.... the original shipment was split up and Tom's custom turbo race manifold and my pistons delayed the second package.

The main thing was getting the 8V manifold.... I'm not in a real big hurry for the rest of it.

Oh.... my SAFC... which will be pulled from the Optra and installed into the Lemans turbo.

Here are the forged followers for the C20GET that arrived today.

you have stuff to build pretty good engines.

the only thing i dont like is the SAFC, there no editor for the GMs ECU?
