Have chris come over...everyone will be at ryans before we go to the meet tomorrow and i am sure they wont mind helping out.

 

I think i found the problem.

Went to honda today and got some new header studs, replaced the bad ones, screwed the manifold on tight. Started the car, and VROOOM still hardcore exhaust leak. Checked the downpipe, it was missing a bolt. Got the bolt in started it again, still VROOM

so we checked the manifold again and the gasket was flapping, the left side of the manifold wasn't sitting flush. Upon further inspection my turbo is TOO BIG, it's hitting the block so the mani can't sit flush. Gonna have to dremel out a small chunk of the corner of the block tomorrow and then it should sit flush, seal and i should be BOOSTING

 

hahaah!! I had to cut my block too!

I dremeled that bitch and it fits fine now. It was pretty funny...

 

The things people do to have power lol !

 

Yup

 

Haha, good luck getting that chunk out (be careful)...Congrats on finding the problem, hopefully when it's fixed you'll get the boost you want...good luck man.

 

I can't wait till it's working well.

 

I realy hope i dont need to do that to mine!!!!

 

if you know the turbo you are going to run, you might want to get a new flange made onto the manifold on an angle, not straight down...get what im saying?

 

Yup i do, or just make one that brings the turbo out more then most so its not so plush with the block
