Re: Twin Turbo EG33 Build - cozykat

Thanks! Yup, getting CP pistons. Shaun sent off our pistons to them. I think its a 3 week turn around.
The turbos won't be going on anytime soon. I have to build and break in the motor first. My thinking is that probably around August, the turbos will start making their appearances. It's just nice to have some clarity in the build... it started out real foggy.

I would like to share a video - starring Matt, Adam, and Shaun:

Aside from two small bolts on part of the EGR system, we didn't have any other bolts snap or rusted on. We did have one cam bolt that wouldn't budge. We thought we needed an impact to get it off which was crazy because, I think, they are only suppose to have like 60ft/lb torque on them - maybe I'm mistaken. Either way, this bolt was not coming off so we had to get creative.. and it wouldn't be me if I wasn't recording it. This is when the bolt finally broke free - you can see the breaker bar bending.

remember kids: don't try this at home. safety first.

Re: Twin Turbo EG33 Build - cozykat

Sounds like a pretty solid plan Marissa. If you need some water-jet flanges for the exhaust, let me know I have a couple sets in stock.

Do they differ from the smallcar ones? How thick are they?

Mine are 3/8" mild. I have used small-car's in the past and they are good. but not all that great on price. I have finally found a water-jet guy to do some intake manifold flanges for me, so I have him do half a dozen exhaust flanges while he was at it

Re: Twin Turbo EG33 Build - cozykat

Wow, nm. Small-car's are $30 a piece which makes them $60 a pair( I thought they were twice as much). I am asking $100 a pair for mine. As long as small-car still has them. (I know they didn't want to stock them for a little while) I would recomend you buy their's

Thanks for the honest answer. I just wished everyone on here would be as such. Thanks again.

Re: Twin Turbo EG33 Build - cozykat

So, I ran the SVX at San Antonio Raceway with Shaun's stock block (~92k) and my stock tranny (~80k). I thought it would be a nice comparison for later.

My best time was 15.7s @ 87mph and I weighed in at 3660lbs (with me in the car).

Weather conditions (3/25/06) while at the track (Zip:78257):
--Time--------Condition/Felt Like-----Dew Pt--Humidity--Visibility-------Pressure--------------Wind---------
6:05 PM - Mostly Cloudy 81°F / 82°F --- 62°F --- 52% -- 10.0 miles - 29.71inches (steady) - From SW/3mph
7:05 PM - Mostly Cloudy 81°F / 82°F --- 62°F --- 52% -- 10.0 miles - 29.72inches (up) ----- From ESE/6mph
8:05 PM - Mostly Cloudy 76°F / 76°F --- 60°F --- 58% -- 10.0 miles - 29.72inches (steady) - From NE/14mph
9:05 PM - Partly Cloudy 66°F / 66°F ---- 53°F --- 63% -- 10.0 miles - 29.75inches (up) ----- From NNE/8mph
10:05 PM - Partly Cloudy 63°F / 63°F --- 53°F --- 70% -- 10.0 miles - 29.78inches (up) ----- From E/9mph

She has a vid of me taking it apart with a little tool i made at work. It's basically removing the pin clips and then beat the pins out with a long steel rod.
I think the vid is on her photo bucket account which is in her sig.

(I had OT tell me how to do this over the phone btw, but if you can watch the clip Marissa recorded it should give you an idea)
