That4doorKiD Posted June 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 It's a 68 sedan!! And looks like you have 2 of them. Is that correct? Looking good on the Turbo build. Good luck and hopes you'll finish it. Yes, someone noticed they are two different cars being used for test fitting, and both 68's. MY CAR is not pink. Quote Link to comment
pl521sss Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 What's the story on the other 68' sedan? Pics? Quote Link to comment
That4doorKiD Posted June 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 What's the story on the other 68' sedan? Pics? My dad's 68 two door, he used to daily drive it to work rockin some 13 libres, but the L-16 on it blew up like 8 years ago. Now it's a project waiting to be revived again :lol: Quote Link to comment
That4doorKiD Posted June 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 Turbo Hat for the 32/36 Last night cutting up some pipes for my intercooler piping Wasn't my first choice to do an intercooler on top of the bumper, but I'm not sacrificing my 68 valence for that soo.. headlights out, doesn't look half bad when the bezels are actually on. And the hat on the carb is for my weber, I am not using the stock carb shown in the picture. Tight fit on the passengers side because the battery, and radiator are a tight space when trying to clear the fan at the same time :lol:, but still made it work. Gonna run my piping straight up the passenger side then over the valve cover to the weber 32/36. Quote Link to comment
Lockleaf Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 Swap to a 90s Honda civic battery if you want to gain space. Group 51. Plenty of power for a 510, almost half the width of the battery you have. 1 Quote Link to comment
That4doorKiD Posted June 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 Sell me your intake manifold after this whole project fails........ By the way, some benificial info, in case you actually make a turbo manifold that doesn't fall apart. HKS used to make a black box called an EGC, which stood for Electronic Governer Control. The name really didn't fit what it did. It was an ignition timing retard that had a pressure sensor, and would retard timing as boost came up. The dash mount black box had knobs to set rate of retard. You then just timed the engine to factory spec.s, and let the EGC control timing durring boost. I'm running low boost and probably only run stock timing 5 degress retard til i can get an MSD Boost reference-able Timing Module. And FYI I don't fail at things, when I really want something to happen, I do it. Eventually soon, I'm gonna build a thick mild steel header with more practical welds, and rebuild an L-20 with a water injection set-up for my turbo. My project doesn't stop here maaaan. I got all the parts for a reliable turbo build, just missing my Boost Timing Module and an optional water injection set-up. Quote Link to comment

spudly13 Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 i made a janky manifold (no offense) like that when i did my r1 carb turbo setup and it completely cracked apart along the welds in a couple months. the next one i heat treated after it was all welded together. Heat it red hot and dunk it in some oil or something. that one lasted a lot longer. 2 Quote Link to comment

That4doorKiD Posted July 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 Uhh I guess whatever that means Quote Link to comment
Anonymous Waffle Posted July 11, 2016 Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 Uhh I guess whatever that means What stoney is saying, have one Datsun or project car running, have fun driving it this year, and that'll motivate your turbo build even more. At our house we have 4 Datsuns non-running. And man oh man I miss driving one. Quote Link to comment

That4doorKiD Posted July 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 It runs, and the inevitable came...I'm going to build a new manifold just cause it'll crack soon and it could use some thicker gauge, I could run it right now how it is but I wanna take the more thorough route and build a quality manifold. Remember this one costed me a free chopped up header and $75 bucks to weld it up :lol: and plus my turbo just spits out oil cause the seals are bad. Looking for a new turbo also. This was one of the best feelings I've had so far building my car throughout this past year :confused: or how long it's been haha, but knowing that I made my manifold with a band saw and cut up header, it was awesome. I really just wanted to see this thing turn on! It was amazing honestly and can't wait til it's done...the right way, I'll be looking for a fabricator or maybe a top end performance manifold for my turbo to position a little bit better, and I decided I'm going to throw on my stock set-up just cause I miss my car so much. I fuckn love my dime. And this thing does run by the way :thumbup: , I just dont wanna risk any further destruction to my car that'll make me wait more repairing time to drive it. Free parking near my house and this wagon is not the same one that was on Craigslist a while back ago haha, they're almost identical tho lol 1 Quote Link to comment
