DJ made a quick stop to visit me and had some eats on his way through my town, so he's on his way... his hood looks sexay!

As title states, looking for a good undamaged grill that matches my Lancer Shelby (it will be painted... so I don't care about that). Preferably would like one in Canada but will buy from the states...

Actually Todd, its one quick one and one fast one, LOL :) It's ON bakes!!

I can't really recommend anything, only let you know what I've done. I don't want to have your wastegate blowing open due...

Ahoy!

To OmniLuvr, it is a stage 2 exhaust wheel in a 63AR. Also, I could very easily hook up my exhaust (just a y-pipe with a cap after the DP) but my reasoning was... if I can't make it work...

Hah! I will run 25 at the track but I just wanted to tame it for the street :)

On another note, with the new setup I never heard a squeak of detonation at 24psi on 94 octane when creeping :)

It's back on. Once again, thank the turbo gods for the TU manifold allowing the turbo to be removed and reinstalled that easy.

Boost no longer spikes to 24! It's fairly steady at 10-12 through...

Well, I popped the turbo off (thank crikey for TU manifold... it really wasn't too bad) and there is definitely mucho room to improve, so I whipped out the die grinder with some junk bits and opened...

Disconnected wastegate arm and set my cam timing back to measured centerline and went for a drive, definitely laggy but will still hit 20-21psi in 3rd, more in 4th.

Will perhaps pull turbo tonight...

I can't say exactly, I did it like two years ago when I got my TU 3" SV which has the larger puck, but I definitely opened up to take advantage of the larger puck anyway. I'll take it for a spin this...

No more ideas?

The more I think about it the more its probably the wastegate. If I get ambition I'll go pull the WG arm off and see if it still creeps. (as laggy as it would be with it open at low...

I know what you mean, and its a possibility... maybe I'm moving so much more air this time that its becoming an issue. The only stock part was the cam last year, everything was modified... its just...

Hey everyone. I've recently got my Lancer Shelby back up and running with a very different top end and am suffering from serious boost creep issues, ie 24psi when I'd rather have it set to 10-14.
...

Ahoy-hoy, nothing ground breaking but I guess I has an update for all y'all.

Everything underhood is essentially complete, minus tuning and tweaking. I/C pipes and air intake complete, got my PS...

That is an awesome little car.

I don't know if they are a Mopar part or not, but I pulled a set of chrome side window visors for all 4 windows on an L. I'll get around to owning another L some...

Hey!

Yea they are PTs, I reshimmed them to .120 and I think it sounds better. When I measured my crusty old lifter I got a .180 difference between that and the PT (whether the measurement is...

I just went through the process of doing a adj prop valve, and keep in mind, depending on what you are doing.. there are two of the lines at the prop valve that have a larger size nut (7/16) as...

I could only speculate that 1.67 probably isn't a big deal with a stock cam and such, but I'm sure more people know a lot more on that topic.

On another note... cool car, my first TD (second car...

Jake the buildup looks awesome!

Just wanted to throw my two cents in on the head/turbo fitment. I've had a TU header for years (one of the first actual batch) and as expected really, had to do...

Aw sorry to hear about your luck JT. On the same note, yes, I do love my intermediate shaft... I was priming my system this afternoon to feed me new turbocharger, wouldn't pick up a prime with the...

Worked on the car all day today. Degree'd cam, hooked stuff up, ran into a leaky shrader valve on the fuel rail - replaced that, had a nice puddle of fuel there for a bit :) Set up my AEM wideband to...

If you are referring to the intake, its not even close to being done, I have more bends and the filter will either sit under the battery tray or possibly in front of the radiator support :)

Thanks...

TU header...

You know you are excited when... you start mocking IC pipes on the bench. Got the turbo clocked, this head is ready to go on. Over to the car now to set up the degree wheel and find exact TDC. I know...

Yea bakes, I'm just gonna say.... good luck :D

Fixed my sticky cam issue. Disassembled, removed rockers, cleaned and emery clothed any minor burrs/scratches. Installed cam without rockers and...

Shouldn't you be sanding something? :)

Thanks eh! I don't have the angle in which the motor sits, or else I'd be able to calculate the drain tube better based on your thoughts.
