Home Made Turbo R18

Wakko · 06-25-2007, 12:39 AM

What´s up guys?

Well, tomorrow I´ll start to build up my home made turbo R18. I´ve already installed clutchmasters stage 1 clutch, my injectors will be here in about 7-10 days, all other parts are waiting.

I´ll be using GReddy Emanage (the Blue one)...injector harness, ignition harness and pressure sensor, aswell the software to tune it up properly. This one I´ll be installing tomorrow already, and I´ll be doing some tests that, if it works, I´m shure that a lot of the R18 owners will like....let me run those tests first, if they work I´ll let you guys know.

I´ll be using:

Holset HX35 turbo
GReddy Emanage
Tial wastegate (a copy made by a brazilian company)
Walbro 255 fuel pump
450cc injectors
HKS SSQV
Custom exhaust
SPA intercooler (same brazilian company where I got my wastegate)

Thats the basic....fuel return line will be made too, I´m also thinking to do make a secondary oil line for the turbo, and use a oil radiator....but just later, and just if I think it´s needed due to temperature issues...

I´ll post some pictures by tuesday.

Wish me luck...

how much have you spent in parts thus far?

iknowmysh1t · 06-25-2007, 01:46 AM

what kinda manifold are you gonna use?

k20beast · 06-25-2007, 02:00 AM

good luck with that man... i wanna do a custom setup on my fa5. let me kno how it goes.

Wakko · 06-25-2007, 02:32 AM

Amount spent? Need to do some currency conversion....LOL....

Let´s see...about US$2.600...but it´s not done yet. I still don´t know how much it will cost the exhaust (still working at it). Probably it will stay around 3k total, with exhaust.....I could import the AJP kit when ready....BUT, I would be paying around 7k on it, without reflash, because of taxes. That´s why I´m going for HMT.

There´s another R18 Turbo down here....K16 turbo, 4 or 5 PSi, can´t remember now (it´s 3:30am here now) 204hp at the crank....for a MT R18, that´s some really bad numbers.

Off to bed....be back with updates later tomorrow.

Suscribed, I want to see the end of this, good luck with your proyect dude.

Skylinegtr06 · 06-25-2007, 04:15 AM

nice good luck

JeShUa · 06-25-2007, 04:30 AM

7k.. that sucks

.. I'd like to see #'s as well :].. good luck.

Wakko · 06-25-2007, 11:08 PM

Damn firewall.....I couldn´t find a single hole at it to pass all the emanage harness.....but at least the wires got cut, and no CEL (yeaaah!!!)...

So, for day one I just managed to separate the car harness, cut what I needed to cut and clamp the ones that needed to be clamped. Let´s see how it goes tomorrow. Next week I´ll be stoping the car at the shop to get everything assembled.

I´ll have some pictures by saturday.

Cheers.

Couldn´t hold myself...emanage installed. I left it inside the hood, next to the ECU for now. I´ll probably drill a hole at the firewall if I can´t find a place to pass the harness through.

Don´t have any dino numbers, but the first thing I did was change VTEC....and I think (I think, need to run it at the dino) I changed it from "economy" to "performance"....at least while driving, I could feel some diference at the car behaviour and engine noise, almost like the noise you can hear at the D-Series when VTEC engages. I´ll be runing it at the dino saturday too....gonna be away from town the next 3 days (I need to work....lol)...almost forgot, a friend of mine manage to do the same thing using Unichip + VTEC control....he has a dino sheet (dastek dino) and will be uploading it sometime today.....I´ll post it here when I get it.

Anyway, I had no CEL so far, I think I won´t have it unless I push the tune too hard....so, see you guys saturday....
