dennis Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 sounds like a mini dragster! Quote Link to comment
fisch Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 So sweet! Man I love a VG30 with a gnarly idle. What are you running for exhaust? Quote Link to comment
cjr198car Posted May 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 2 inch y pipe to a 2 1/2 single out back (I also have a 2 1/2 cut out that exits before the drivers side rear tire). The exhaust system is getting a complete overhaul in a few months. Quote Link to comment

cjr198car Posted May 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 Yeah I really like how it sounds! I was not expecting such a radical idle. Quote Link to comment
Jesse C. Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 I like that! Sounds nice!! Quote Link to comment

fisch Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 Man had to listen again. Like music! I have a VG30 I picked up for free under my work bench. You sure have me dreaming! Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 may be a stupid question but why an exhaust temp gauge? doesnt seem like somthing that would need to be watched Quote Link to comment
cjr198car Posted May 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 An EGT gauge is just another monitoring device. It can be used in conjunction with many other monitors (like a wide band or narrow band gauge). Here is a tech page with regards to tuning with an EGT VS X, Y, Z: http://www.sdsefi.com/techegt.htm Long story short you should use a wideband on an engine dyno or chassis dyno, make note of your EGT and use them as a reference to what your engine is doing under real world conditions.

Jester Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 Hey Colton, Where did you find the info on seting up your wiring for the EFI? Quote Link to comment
cjr198car Posted May 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 Im running a Tec3 for engine management (I scrapped all of the factory components less a few sensors). The setup is a complete custom deal so I dont know how much I can actually help you on this one! I can recommed z31performance.com for vg related tech/wiring. Quote Link to comment
cjr198car Posted May 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 turbo manifold construction pics! -Colton Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted May 29, 2010 Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 im really interested to see how you run the piping from the other cyl bank to the turbo Quote Link to comment
cjr198car Posted May 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 here is the drivers side manifold (finished last night). The two manifolds will be connected with a crossover pipe in front of the engine (no pics of it yet). Turbo placement/downpipe Overall look (the fuel cell on the right is for water/meth injection) -Colton Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted May 29, 2010 Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 accross the front huh hmmmm no room to go along the back im guessing? im also guessing that is why the turbo is so far forward correct? how are you going to run an air filter on it? Quote Link to comment
cjr198car Posted May 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 Yep no room on the backside. The turbo is large in general and the placement is about as close as I can get to the valve cover/radiator/engine and as far away from the relays/fuses/electrical. The turbo placement is also good considering the down pipe will not have to fight with the steering box for space. I will be using a very short filter (I do have space between the headlight and turbo, the pics just dont show it off). I hope to have the car running tomorrow for the Minnesota Sport Compact spring opener. -Colton Quote Link to comment
