Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Thanks, I'm working early shift today so hopefully I can have some time after work to get try some stuff to get this thing to try and spray oil all over the place.

Plus most of the house stuff is done, its time to wait.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Well I fixed my blowby issue thanks to carl and some other smart people.

So now to see what the weather does for saturday.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

What did you guys do?

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Smoke weed.

No, I took my PCV and vented it instead of recirculating into the intake manifold and I added another vent.
This is in addition to the breather going to the catch can, so now I have 3 instead of 2. But Carl said he was good since venting the PCV.

I also have a way to increase the one I added.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

wow, so I bought a house a couple of weeks ago and I've been really busy with it.
Now all my cars can live at 45* year round inside.
Plan for winter is to do as little as possible and still drive it next year, with that said I'll be rocking a 5857 in a mitsu housing.
Goal is 130mph traps and to build the car around this setup before changing the turbo again. (A couple of years)

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

You obviously haven't gotten your gas or electric bill yet if you're keeping your garage that warm. :D

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

I cant wait to come work on the car in the summer when its 45 in your garage.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

:score009:

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

It was nice in my old townhouse when the garage floor was cold and it was summer outside.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

:woohoo1:

Hope to see it out ripping around next year!

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

just don't get all ADD and start selling shit off again and this fucker will be fast!

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

You will, you will also see it at the track.

Lol, that won't happen I have enough people keeping me in line. Plus I miss going to the track too much.

I need to sort out my garage still but then I'll start getting the car sorted out.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Go 6262, grow into it. :)

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Lol, too late. I'm content with having the 5857, it will get me quick enough for now. I should be able to ET pretty good with it even though right now I just care about trap speed.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Picked up a Kiggly flexplate for cheap, along with a shiftbox color.
Hopefully going to get some time in the next few weeks to get working on the car.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Funny, i did what I said and about a month and a half ahead of time.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

So decided to use this thing:
https://scontent-a-ord.xx.fbcdn.net/...27327112_n.jpg

It's a 5857 in a mitsu housing I believe .63a/r, hotside is ceramic coated and ported. S-cover.

2/23/14 Kiggly HLA and turbo mock up. Finally worked on the car for a bit.
Seizure pic for Goodhart:

I already have a feed line stuff in place and a fitting to put on a gauge so I know the oil psi at the turbo.
Parts are on the way for the drain line as we speak.
Not sure how much I'll make it outside too cold, even if the garage is warm all the tools and the car itself is like ice, I haven't really been keeping the heat on there since there are too many air leaks for my liking.

Goal is to have it running and driving for april though.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Giggity. Now stick with it son! Shouldn't be too much else to do now but go run some 10's. :D

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Damn those cell phone pics look good!!!

Will do, my new goal is to get on the DSMLink fastest times every year. Last year the average time was 10.22 with the slowest being 11.74, Carltalon was on there for the 2nd year in a row.
The first 15 times out of 35 listed were 9s or faster!

Right now I have the following things to install:

Rear bumper diffuser
Mechanical oil psi gauge
Forced Four Shift Box Color
Electric fan for trans cooler
Weld bung for oil pan (turbo drain line)
Wire radiator fans to a switch
Wire Vacuum pump
Make/Buy intake pipe
Weld fittings for Speed Density
Wire in speed density
Tighten housings on turbo
Find a 4-5" coupler for LICP for now or make new pipe.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Awesome turbo choice, good luck man.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

More info plz

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Hmm, that list makes me want to drag my car again. It's nice having a running car two full years in a row even though it's sitting on jackstands.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

With the new turbo are you going to be able to build boost at the line? Looking good tho. Can't wait to see it out putting the butt hurt on people....

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Only one way to find out, if it doesn't then i'll have to spray it.

We will see, people are crazy these days its not random powered cars anymore everyone wants to be the fastest.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

I wanna go fast

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Not sure what that post is about.
But I did get some ARP turbo bolts from FFWD.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Arp turbo bolts ftw!

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Just jacking ur thread up with some humor. Deff be fun to see u trap 130+ this year. Gotta love auto

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

2/28/14:

Received all of my oil return fittings.
https://scontent-b-ord.xx.fbcdn.net/...42510558_n.jpg

These fittings are huge! Seriously they look stupid.
https://scontent-b-ord.xx.fbcdn.net/...91331563_n.jpg

I'm gonna have quite a bit of work to do to get these to fit.
I'll have to take the pan off, but that will give me a chance to modify the oil pickup too.

Now just need the weather to warm up so I can have a chance to work on it. Now that I have the parts of course I don't have any time. I work almost everyday until April 23rd.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

What are you doing to the oil pickup?

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

I'll be having the front 2/3rd of it welded over with a plate. Per Kiggly it helps pickup issues when cutting low 60 Fts.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Oh yep, I've seen that before.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

he will also sell you one done like that if you call him. $60

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

I called him and he wanted $85+, so I passed.

Lame sauce update time:
I've basically had zero drive to work on the car for the last few months I can't explain it. That has changed a bit since I've realized that this is my only hope to go "fast" so i have to do it. I'm actually more excited to hit the track (turns) with my bmw more than anything, but I realized that I can't keep up my shit talking without anything to back it up.

Anywho, was outside today and did this:
https://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.n...15694004_n.jpg

I went a bit too much and the hole is bigger than I wanted it to be, but it will work.
Fitting a -12AN drain has been kicking my ass, but to be honest its not that hard, if I would of just settled down and looked at it better from the get go I'd be done with it.

I did however discover that fitting PTE SP covered turbo in there is a PITA, so I need to find a NT water pipe.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Holy fucking shit are you feeling ok?!?! QFT and maybe sig-worthy right there!!!

Get motivated and stay motivated, it's spring and there's lots of fun to be had!!! Glad to see your new leaf dude, keep it up!

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Thanks to the bearing master that I know. Specs were checked and good, new set of ACL's rolled in.
https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.n...92370621_n.jpg

I need to weld the oil pickup tube and make change my LICP because of the new turbo.
Most of the ugly visible engine bay stuff will be temporary since I'm desperate to have the car running next week, but then I'll use the summer to change things to how I want them.

I realized for the amount of time I've had with the car I really haven't done a lot of work to make it reliable and that is where my issue is, I need to spend some more time fixing all the current issues and getting reliable, so hopefully that is what this year will be.
I don't plan on installing a boost controller so it will only be at about 21-24psi for now.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Haven't welded for a couple of weeks, I was tired of doing random crap.
Well I needed to do the Kiggly oil pickup mod and I believe it was successful.
https://scontent-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hpho...04911371_n.jpg
https://scontent-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hpho...59167390_n.jpg

I took a wire wheel to the pickup and acetone. Wasn't too bad once I figured out a good position to be in.
Ordered a bung for the GM IAT sensor and I'm supposed to be MIG welding my oil drain line tonight, if that is the case I will get the pan back on and do all the stuff underneath the car I think, well I have tomorrow off so we will see.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Look out your window, I beg to differ.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

holy hole in the oil pan bro. seems awfully big to me but i guess we will see. The oil pickup mod looks pretty decent for sure. hope it holds…deff cool seeing you try and make your car bad ask this year
