can't wait to see what's next Sorry Guys LOL |
awesome catch can design. Gonna try making this. sick!
|
Just flipped through the thread. Great work! Kind interested to see what is next. Hopefully it is not a piston engine. :puke:

Love the wirecare products, that stuff is harder to work with then I thought to be honest. Hard to get the shrink tubing down to size without destroying the braided sleeving. Also the bigger sleeving does not counter well to 90 degree bends. Evaluating a different approach but love the them

Hard to be sure by just looking at a picture, but zooming into the last pic above it appears that the outer compressor housing has been ground off for clearance.

When I try to mount the trubo the front of the compressor housing clears but the back plate and back of the compressor housing doesn't. In MM's upgrade kit he said that he machined the backplate, I just want to know if KMA did the same because the way he mounted his turbo is a lot cleaner than MM's. I may try to enlarge the holes on the turbine flange of the turbo so I can shift it so it doesn't hit the manifold. |
Yes I did trim the housing and backplate. Be careful how far you go because you don't want to go too far and hit the O-Ring.

Where did you get your turbo oil drain tube from?
|
It looks like the silicone high temp turbo drain hose from ATP turbo. That is what I have.
https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7076/...f603d7f6_b.jpg In this state it did it was pretty toasty when I pulled it recently after 20,000 miles. So I redid it recently with fire sleeve over it, it shoudl last much longer this way. https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3892/...6125f216_b.jpg https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-maj...thread-214417/ |
I am sure he had it fabricated.
|
I have the silicone hose already, I need the metal drain tube. The one KMA has looks like it was bought instead of fabricated like the ones MM used. I ordered a 5 degree tilt drain tube and I will try to make that work. But I'm not sure there will enough space to put a hose on it without extending the tube somehow.

All you need is a flange (common) tube, and a welder :)

I just finished reading this thread. super clean build and love the attention to detail!!
There is something so satisfying about reading a thread from start to finish its like binge watching a series on Netflix. |
I enjoy reading this thread also keep up the good work.
