-+- FINISHED 3071r 3" TIP/Intake -+-

[socks]

Okie dokie, so for a while i was running VTA on the blowoff valve, and the boost solenoid was dumping to atmosphere.

So I finally finished up my inlet. I tapped it for a barb to connect the boost solenoid to. JB weld ensures it will stay in since the pipe is rather thin.

I also took the inlet to Competition Race Parts, and had them weld a fitting on it to recirculate my HKS valve, which, by the way, does make the car run MUCH better, the cars drivability is increased GREATLY. He wasnt too happy with the "prettiness" of the weld. The pipe was painted, and then the paint was grinded off. he said while welding it it would spit back on him because the paint trapped in the aluminum. Anyways, i think it looks great for being an aluminum weld, but I also saw some of his other aluminum work, and it was very pretty, so im sure he was onto something with the paint.

Anyways, I got it home, and painted it up. I blindly picked a color that i thought was a match for the cobb powdercoating, but it was much darker. I dont mind, it looks great IMO.

Alright, some pics. Im sure ill come up with some more stuff. All in all, this intake cost me just shy of $250. I had to relocate the battery, which was about $125, the alu tube was $60 (IIRC), the welding was $30, etc.

Very nice Sean!

Very clean except for that ECU flopping around in the engine bay, unsecured to anything. When are you gonna come back and fix that?!

there is no floppage. it stays put, but i will be making a bracket for it.

ill be home monday. then madness will ensue.

[samsel450r]

how do you have ur stock boost controller all hooked?? could you draw a diagram for me please or just explain it?

[socks]

Im using the standback.

I have the boost source right off the turbo. it goes to a .045¨ restrictor pill. From there, it goes to a T. The t´s go to both the wastegate, and the boost solenoid.

[samsel450r]

were could i get a restrictor pill from..

[sbspeed]

just google for a .045" NOS funnel jet

[JumpingJackson]

What part of the T goes to the solenoid .045" is probably too big, .039" worked best for me

[samsel450r]

were did you get ur .039 restricor

[sbspeed]

The .045" restrictor fit perfectly into the 1/4" brass T - then the tubing slipped over it to hold it in

[samsel450r]

lol thats the same battery setup i was goin to do.. thanks for the pic... can you also post up pick of ur whole engine bay if you have one

[sbspeed]

naw nothing much to look at right now - engine is in shreds right now - should be back together in another week or so...

[samsel450r]

and with me running the 3076 would the restrictor pill need to be a different size?

not sure - I know people have had different luck with different size restrictors on the same size turbo - I guess you just have to experiment with it but .045 is probably a good place to start

just making it more better!

[samsel450r]

oh so it didnt blow up or nothing? and were did you get that brass tee that works with that restrictor pill so well.. home depot??

[socks]

i think .045" is the generic "good size"

depending on what you use, you can make a range of pill sizes work (such as the standback)
