My Black 2003 Turbo Build - CrazySX

[CrazySX]

So anyway, apart from the awkwardness of the job, the injectors are very easy to swap out. A lot easier than on my 200sx. Took me about an hour including cleaning.

I then moved on to fitting the induction kit. I removed all the old stuff and decided to clean the throttle body. Went from this:

To this:

To this:

To this:



I used most of the can of carb cleaner.

Then I spent ages faffing around with re assembling and positioning the induction kit correctly.

Then realised the screws that came with the maf riser wouldn't thread into my induction kit so spent ages looking for ones that would!!

Anyway.. end result:

So I put the fuses back in and started the car. It took a few goes and when it eventually started it was coughing and farting and stinking and smoking! That's what half a can of carb cleaner will do you!

Once it settled I took it for a spin and power is now effortless!

Idles real nice too!

Will stick some super in it tomorrow and see if it's any good.

Still needs a turbo badly!

That filter is gonna pick a lot of heat over here. Why don't you place it behind the battery Waiting for the turbo?

It was running a little hot and the maf mod didn't like it so went back to stock and sold it at 20 quid loss   s:cry: :cry: s:cry:  

Yes this was only supposed to be a temp measure until turbo time. At least the injectors are all done   s;) s;)

I'm booked in for a map with my powerfc tomorrow. All going well my Emange blue will be up for sale if you're still interested mate.

Also, thought about battery relocation? That's my next mod to improve air into the engine bay.

Who's mapping your PowerFC? Andy Forrest?

[Swan_Connery]

No. Chris at Dynatune.

When's it all going together then Dan?
Anticipation and all that

[CrazySX]

Hey Lee, at this rate never!!! Lol.

Went for MOT today and it failed on emissions. I think it's because of the MAF mod and the car running rich so CO and HC are through the roof. But after some hard revving there was also smoke coming out the exhausts not clouds but a little.  Oil burning I suspect. My plan was to turbo it next year. Might have to get a better engine, change it, then turbo it.

Ok so been a busy day. Changed the rear drivers side caliper, and rear discs and pads. Also fitted my braided lines!

Then bled all the brakes and fitted one way bleed nipples.  

Couldn't fit the front braided lines at the nut would not give. Any tips???

Also reverted back to 1zz injectors and scrapped the MAF riser. I think it was a waste of time!

Will be doing it this year. Just waiting for the weather to cheer up before I begin work. Got most of the bits.

Just had major surgery to do on the 200sx and a major house renovation last year lol
