Waste-Gate...

[tango]

Hey Gang! Glad to finally see the board up and running. let's give it all we got. Let me start out right by letting the guys know that I should be getting my waste-gate this weekend!! It's from a JDM Toyota Starlet GT Turbo.. A co-worker has one of these cars and has a few spare bits lying around. He's gonna let me have it for a tidy sum....Stay tuned.

Welcome to the Board. I don't notice your name from either Daewootech Group or Team SR, so I figure you're new to us. Welcome once again.
My car is a 1995 Daewoo Cielo. It's the car in my sig below (save me the trouble of reposting another pic). She's a 1.5L single cam 8valve with the TH-125C 3 spd auto. She's got all the toys. POwer everything (except mirrirs) and wears 185/65-13 tyres with TSW Quad alloys. I plan to go up to 195/50-15s and have them wrap around Primax 695s. The parts I have so far are as follows:

rear suspension from a 1994 Vauxhall Astra GTE (discs)
Mitsubish TDO4 turbocharger
Mazda Millenia S Intercooler
AutoMeter Phantom fuel mixture gauge
Autogage Boost gauge
Greddy Turbo Timer
Boost Controller (not sure of make)
Assorted computer fans (cpu and power source)
Turbo MPI badge (itself worth 100hp!!!)

These I have in theory (my buddy has them in storage for me):

Dodge Dakota 3.9 injectors (6)
Mitsubishi Eclipse Blow-off valve
High Pressure Fuel Pump (not sure of the make)
Toyota Starlet GT Turbo Waste-gate (co-worker has this in storage)

The following I have to get:

Oil Pressure Gauge
Oil cooler/filter relocator
Oil catch tank

Then after I get these parts all I have to do is save the money and get it all fitted. My shop of choice is gonna fabricate the entire intake and exhaust, as well as the oil catch tank. You may be wondering why I need the computer fans. These (4 of them) will be bolted on the intercooler (I plan to mount the intercooler where our air-cleaner is now....so that the car will LOOK stock) to pull air in through the hole in the fender that allowed a hose to go to the baffle box. The air-cleaner will sit behind the right fender. The exhaust will run into a crossflow muffler (sitting transversely behind the rear axle). The muffler will have one in-two out (from either side) giving me a twin exhaust set-up. At this point I'm leaning towards using oval tips (for a mature look) but I still have twin round tips in mind (giving four in total). That's pretty much the plan thus far. I'll probably not be able to do anything until sometime next year (April or so). I'll keep you informed.

I FINALLY GOT IT !!! Yes indeed, fellas...the waste gate is in my hands...I'm gonna need a few adjustments here and there to make it fit...but that shouldn't be a problem at all....You guys know me...I have no problem with MAKING something work for my 'Woo as long as it will improve it...Dig?

[FoRk]

right on dude, hurry, stop reading this and slap that bad boy in there!!!! hehe, i might buy a 91 eclipse turbo for the parts, because he said it was in a rear accident, and only 400 bucks to. maybe

Eclipse you say? Hmmm...I can handle that. Plan to drop the entire engine in the 'Woo? If you do, remember that Mitsu engines (like Hondas) are rotated 180 degs from ours (ie, the tranny is on the passenger side of the car). My turbo (TDO4) is from an Eclipse incidentally. Let's see what you're up to.

[FoRk]

well i was just going to use the turbo parts, mostly because the mitsu is a 91 so the miles may be way up there, but if there low miles, like around 65k then maybe do a drop, maybe........ ok peace
