I finally got a t3 turbo for my 98 cavy 5 speed. Its a 50 trim I believe out of a 1983 mercede benz. I really wanted a super 60, but for less that $70 I'm not gonna complain. Since the last pics I posted I remounted my msd w/boost retard to where the battery was mounted. I picked up some diamond plate to make things look a little better (nothing wrong with a little eye candy under the hood!!!) I also put the battery in the trunk to make room for the msd to go. I also took the radio out of the stock din location and in its place put a voltmeter and three switches. The switches are for my neutral safety switch, two step and boost controller (Atleast it will be for the boost control soon.) I also included some pics of the last dyno run I made at innovative tuning and a pic of the car itself too. All in all I'm hoping for atleast 200 whp and I would like to make a 13 sec pass down the 1/4 mile some day. But I will just settle for a daily driven turboed cavy if all else fails.

Down in the pics I've also included a shot of my secondary fuel injector controller, my 40 lb injectors and bungs. And also the turbo manifold itself along with the bov. In the future I will be getting a fmic. But for now I'm just gonna get everything going at about 6 psi. The only things let to get to complete the turbo project are oil lines, charge pipe and down pipe and some fuel lines for the injectors.

Comments are welcome, as well as opinions as to if I'm missing anything in the parts for the project.

Here are the pics:



















This is the dyno pull BEFORE I put the turbo on:

don't run 6 psi unintercooled for too long. high IAT's = detonation problems.




I was a retard, and now I'm permanently banned.

Detonation at 6 psi shouldn't be any kind of trouble. With the msd I can retard timing up to 30 degrees based on boost levels. But an intercooler is definitly going on.

Smart move with the IC. Though where are the dyno numbers for after the install!?

i can't wait to see dyno numbers with the intercooled setup.
