Boosted and home (Pics & Vids)
Saturday, December 31, 2005 2:51 PM
I finally got the car home yesterday, with boost It sat down in Milwaukee in Brians driveway for a good month before I got the turbo and could go rescue it.

This is how she sits now, brought it home, backed it in, and put a cover on it


Its like opening a Christmas present














And the interior shot:

Video of the turbo spooling and the blow off valve (door open), wasn't able to get more than 1 or 2 PSI out of it, I was brake torquing it in the snow and the traction control kept kicking on.

I have a LOT of cleaning up to do, have to install my Profec-B Spec II (electronic boost controller). I'll do a lot more work on it when it warms up. I have to fix the coolant leak and its going in for a new exhaust hopefully next week. Also need to get some tires.

HUGE thanks to SpeedRacerZ (Brian), WrenchMonkey (Tom), and even Jake (GreenZ).

BOV is the TurboXS RFL

Manifold has some cheap coating on it, its in the process of burning off, but the manifold is only temporary, I'll be getting one from Exploited someday.

I had no clue your car was an automatic!

Looking good though, betcha can't wait to enjoy it?

For some reason I had in mind that turbo charging a Z24 was not a good idea due to the engine's incapability to handle the "pressure". Well that's what I was told . Also because when Chevy or any big company boosts up a Cavy. it's always a 2.2 single cam they use.

Scotty B-

Anytime.

JCavi-

No, this one seems to have held up.

Joe-

Winter sucks! Yup, really can't wait.

Jason-
You're welcome to see it anytime you come up, as long as I'm still here. Still planning on moving down south, just the date keeps moving back, newest estimate is Marchish. I'll be going to the meet on the 7th of this month if you make it you can see it there.

Whitecavy-
Yeah, its heater core hose and the brake booster tube has been removed. I need to do a lot of clean up work in that area as you can see.

Everyone else-

Thanks! I can't wait to drive it around a little bit. I'm waiting for the roads to clear up again and I'm going to take it out and impress some locals
