About time I got that 30R

[schwartzmagic]

Nice build.

Newcastle is some good ****.

Hell Yeah! Pretty much my favorite beer. They make Newcastle ice cream over in jolly old England. Been wanting to somehow ship some over.

this is basically my old setup but billet wheel + SEM manifold.

i must say, it was really fun with a cast wheel, cant imagine with the billet wheel

[MikeKondilis]

Yes the mold was changed when they switched casting foundries. Just some insurance to ensure everyone gets a product that functions as it should.SEM MOTORSPORT has caste over 200 manifolds since 2 years ago

HTH

good looking out issam, can't wait till i get this setup up and running. I hope I can surprise some people with the numbers.

[Big_Tom]

I want a SEM intake mani

[MikeKondilis]

bump! throttle body and coilpacks are here but still no manifold.

[MikeKondilis]

manifold is suppose to be here tomorrow....

[T-Boy]

With all that money spent, you should buy a better camera, or better phone with a better camera.

[MikeKondilis]

TELL ME ABOUT IT!

[MikeKondilis]

since I have been waiting for this manifold for a while, I had time to search about tuning, so I ordered me EURODYNE Maestro, was going to go with Unitronic but wanted to get more into the tuning as on the dyno also.

[MikeKondilis]

thanks to Issam@INA for the express shipping and Marco@SEM for sending me out one of the first of the new manifolds that came in to me Tuesday. Finally putting the car into pieces tomorrow and tuesday, pics will be posted!... Turbo Timer, 2 Step and WOT Box, and Eurodyne came in!

[MikeKondilis]

Everything so far is coming together but, there is no boost hoses to connect my MBC like a regular TIP would for a k03 or k04, so the solution was to drill a hole in the compressor and insert a nipple which I am not because that is a ****ing 1,200 dollar turbo, so we going to ghetto rig some stuff to see if it works before drilling anything hope no boost creeps if we do what we are saying. Now, I am looking to see if I should do a catch can.

[MikeKondilis]

[MikeKondilis]

since there is not a place to set up those boost hoses I can't put that eurojet silicon hose kit where the valve cover is, so what you think is the easiest thing to do plus first time I ever paid attention to that smaller nipple on the cover next to the one that connects to the pcv what does that connect to?

[BlckGLI04]

Come on get that thing running...

[MikeKondilis]

I'm trying fool

[schwartzmagic]

Dude, drill and tap the compressor cover. That's how these turbo companies do it. If you look at the pic you posted on your compressor cover with the bottle of new castle you'll see a flat circle spot on the compressor outlet area towards the left of the bottle. That's where you need to drill and tap it. Go to ACE Hardware and get a drill and tap for a 1/8 NPT brass barb. Also make sure to get the brass barb. Don't be scurred. Turbo may have been $1200 but the compressor cover is a lot cheaper if you screw it up lol ... In all seriousness though... It's cake. Once you've drilled and tapped it you can run a rubber hose or silicone hose to your manual or electronic boost controller.

Also, do not install the 2 Step/WOT box if you're going to be running Maestro. It has 2 step and No lift shift built in.

[schwartzmagic]

Oh, one more thing. Since you're gonna run Maestro you can delete all that emissions stuff and you won't get a CEL. Get rid of all that garbage and you wont have to worry about the silicon eurojet hoses.

[MikeKondilis]

so all I have to do is put a little filter on the valve cover nipple? so then I don't even have to run a catch can or those breather hoses...

[schwartzmagic]

You still need a catch can. One that vents to atmosphere. You can get IE's fitting that you tap into the side of the valvecover. Get their breather block adapter. Then get a catch can kit that will run 2 hoses to a catch can. One from block breather and one from valvecover. Dont run a little filter please....

[MikeKondilis]

that's cool, just ordered an adapter and a catch can from IE and a SEI block off plate also since I am in there I'll also do that. probably going to work on it saturday, plus I'll probably drill the compressor also so I can run my mbc so I dont have to look at it back when it runs like **** because I didn't do it. let you know how it goes playa

[MikeKondilis]

another question for ya, what am I suppose to do with this vacuum reservoir, that black plate thats keeps vacuum that used to connect on the valve cover?

[schwartzmagic]

Dump it. Since you're getting Maestro and deleting all the emissions stuff you won't need it anymore. Try and follow one of those evap/emissions delete thread to make sure you cover everything. I slacked and didn't do mine so I can't tell you off the top of my head.

punt it across the street...

throw all that stuff out, I did my deletes this fall, it's amazon how much stuff gets taken out, working on your car will be so much easier... theres a video floating around on here that has it all, besides the thread, I'll see if I can find it for you, I literally watched it as I did all the work, it's very straight forward


edit: here it is... http://www.bysavko.com/video/diys/1-...leanup-part-1/

[MikeKondilis]

^^ Thanks a lot bud, ill be doing that all day saturday especially since my catch can is coming in tomorrow ! I'm going to light those ****ty ass vacuum hoses on fire pissed me off real bad lol.

hahaha you got it man

you could have done this, but the catch can fan club got to you first lol I don't have a catch can, they are kinda pointless IMO. i put a breather on my valve cover and ran a hose to the floor from the crankcase breather. simple, and basically free. **** a catch can, i had one and took it off after like 3 days

You still dont need a catch can. run a little breather filter please....

^^^ fixed that for you

[MikeKondilis]

^ I tried running it like that but my hose gets sucked in since the valve cover is blowing air out and the other end is sucking air in, it doesn't match all i saw was that hose get flat lol
