All that being said. I will go through my boxes of parts from my older turbo setups. I’ll post back if I find anything useful. And I’ll probably just let it go for shipping costs. I might have an intercooler.
Trbogt that would be awesome man, I would definitely be willing to send you some extra cash at least for your time. I really appreciate that offer.
Sorry guys ive been really busy this weekend with my daughter being sick, we've been in and out of the hospital several timea. We've made up our minds, were not taking her into pubilc until after all this nasty illness/flu season is over. She's been sick several times this winter, I feel bad for the little thing.
Also for other mods, like I've mentioned, everything on a super low budget lol. Injectors, sloppy mechanic style decapped ls injectors, I sent in 13of them to a guy, let him know my situation, and he gave me a great deal on cleaning and matching them up, at my fuel pressure they are all within 1.8% of 56lb/hr, they sent me the matched set of 6, and I let them keep the extras in case they ever need one for a set they're matching, those should be plenty to hold me over for awhile(I have eBay injector spacers, paid 18$ for 6, the injectors at junkyard cost me 10$, flow matching was 60$, so not too bad), I decided to make my own fuel logs, which came out really nice, I bought 24" of -6 fuel rail extrusion off of eBay for 25$, and a knockoff fuel lab regulator that came with all of the fittings necessary for the fuel rail(was cheaper to buy the regulator with all the fittings rather than piece them out,still may just use one of those adapters to allow use of the stock regulator on fuel logs(I believe I saw that stock regulator fitting adapter on prj website, which gave me the idea) For the turbo, I got super lucky and found a used genuine gt3582, 82 ar exhaust, I found it at a flea market from a guy who bought storage lockers, he didnt know what he had, paid 100$ even for it, it badly needed seals, so I got a 30$ kit and replaced them myself, bearings feel tight, little if any shaft play. It should be capable of mid 12s or so, I'm not 100% sure on that so if someone knows, please enlighten me. Which I'm cool with for now. Should allow pretty fast spool, I don't plan on shifting past 6200 anyways so I think it'll be ok. I have a super nasty cam, one of the old tep style .574 .566 deals.got a KILLER deal on it from someone who was just done with the platform, which was really cool. I need to get some 130# springs for it, already have modded retainers. As for doing the valve guides and porting, that is something I'm good at. My grandpa was a machinist by trade and I used to do a lot of porting/polishing with him. I used an old valve guide cutter and took mine down .100 to give retainer clearance for the big cam. Also ported my heads, don't worry I didn't do them like half of the idiots you typically see that say, look here guys I ported my exhaust port look how nice and round it is, lol. I didn't mess with the short turn too much, just cleaned it up. And cleaned up the bowl area beside the guide, took the lip off of the area right behind the seat from where the factory cut them in. I unshrouded the valves in the CC, by marking with a pick thru the plug hole and then removing some material, then I carefully smoothed out the CC's. I gasket matched the ports, didn't take it too far, did a nice job. As for a trans, when I bought my 98 Daytona years ago,it had a tep s2, built back in 08 (verified the id numbers with Dave), I got the whole car for 350 off of some guy on craigslist that didn't know anything about the car, motor was locked up, when I pulled it I found a nice hole in the back about the size of two pistons, and found part of the crank on the sub frame. I put a stock motor/headers/rockers/3.3 in it and drove it for about a year, this was back in 2013 or so, had a blast in it, trans still felt good, but I'm sure it won't hold up long to the abuse I plan to put it thru. I've located several built transmissions for sale, which is why you guys see me posting up several nitrous kits for sale in the classifieds, I am trying to use that money to get another trans to have on hand, it to slap in ahead of time. It's no big deal to replace one, I smoked quite a few and got good at replacing them in one evening by myself. If only I was a decent welder I'd be set, I honestly thing the cheap shitty 70amp one that I have,(bought used of coarse, you guys should know me by now, lol), and I think the previous owner may have not followed duty cycle instruction properly and constantly over heated it, which can cause erratic function, which I experience. It has high and low, I've tried properly matching rod to material, thickness etc, but still just burns thru. So yeah guys, if any of you have any stuff that's turbo related, or 3800 in general, please let me know, and let's try to make a deal. Even if I have to send you money each week for a month, if you're OK with it, so am I. I need a dbl roller, 130# springs, possibly 3/8 7.05 pushrods?, Crossover, I could use an intercooler because the one I have is one of the small eBay ones, that I picked up used for 25$, and it's a little beat up, I may end up needing some more ic piping, I already have a m90 block off, and rear manifold block off. Oh and I do have a dhp, picked it up on here for a great deal from a great guy who didn't need it anymore. I have experience tuning, I used to have an old school hpt(I believe it was a 2.2 or 2.3 era unit, of course I got it used lol) but one day I was out tuning my Daytona, and someone stole it off the passenger seat with my laptop when I ran into a small country gas station for like 1 minute to pay for gas, I saw the car speeding off and didn't know why until I got done pumping gas and got into my car, man I was upset that day. Ended up parking my car for a few months and driving my old Astro van for awhile till i got this dhp a few months ago.
Sorry for the stupid long post, just trying to give you guys some back ground into what I've already got done. I know it's pathetic that I'm going thru this much hassle to do everything as cheap as possible,but even if something happens down the road, and even it it takes me a long time to get it fixed again. I'll still be really happy that I was finally able to turbo my car.
It's just been something I wanted to do for a really long time. But like I said, after I'm done with school, I'll get a good job behind the desk of a computer somewhere making decent money and be able to afford all the cool stuff I want without having to worry about take care of family/or build my car, which has been the deal so far, which I don't mind at all, I love them. I just wanna feel the boost from a turbo in my gp.
To whoever takes the time to read all of that... Thank you.
I appreciate all of your guys feedback, and am glad to finally start chatting with you all.
I'll keep the next post down to 5 or 6 lines I promise lol
