I tired doing a ton of sharpening on my out of focus photos. They still look pretty bad though. Car looks stock anyways, so who cares, lol.

I have been reading your thread since the beginning and to be honest i am not surprised the whole going stage 1 for financial reasons was a joke. Just happy you got around to your newest set up and that you document everything so well.
Anyways as for rpf1s i heard if they are 18x9.5 and you want to fit bigger calipers i heard they clear the fhi 4 and 2 pots but i dont know about the 17s. I have a full set of front and rear calipers in boxes waiting for rebuild kits and a paint job along with supporting mods and hardware. Just haven't had time or the supporting parts to get the install done. Buying a house sucks up all my mod money for other projects right now. |

The install of the rotated turbo setup isn't hard. The v-band actually makes it pretty easy. Along with it I put in a completely new/rebuild motor and modified many small things along the way (breather, coolant, evap, boost lines, fuel lines, etc). All of these seemingly small things take a long time to get sorted out. It helps to have knowledgeable people (ie. NF) there to help! Quote:

wow didnt see this coming at all…
cant you just not be an attention seeker for once, maybe? anywho, the rotated kit looks very nice. looks to be a 1.5 scroll since its a vband exhaust inlet. why not just get a twin scroll since you pretty much have it setup for that? and how come you didnt wrap any of your wire harness that sits directly on top of the turbo no air oil separator? |

I choose not to post my plans beforehand because then I'm left with people constantly asking about details and looking for results. I find it far more efficient to simply wait until things are done and then post all of the info one time, rather than try to answer many, many individual questions. If I hadn't been selling off all of my parts, then no one would have even known a thing until it was done. It is a 1.5 scroll because I chose the convenience and great sealing ability of a v-band uppipe connection. A twinscroll T4 flange setup would have cost me the exact same, but I didn't want to deal with that when v-band is so simple and works great. I did get a full twinscroll header, so if I do want to switch I just need a new uppipe and new turbo exhaust housing. The wire harness is covered in the OEM loom, and routed in the OEM location. The cold side of the turbo does sit significantly higher than the small stock turbo, so it may require additional heat isolation in the future, but so far it seems to be doing OK. I don't have any breather lines routed back into the intake, so I am not concerned with blow by. A catch can may be added later. |

Very nice work Xluben. I always enjoy your ever evolving setup and the detailed write-ups and pictures.
A couple questions for you: Did you rebuild your bottom end again for this new setup? I'm curious why you did that. Did something fail in the previous build or were you just looking for even more reliability on this setup? What are you doing for your breather system? Where are your heads and crankcase venting to? |

So you have your heads vented to atmosphere and running to the side vents? Do you end up with oil residue on the side of your car? Do you have the lines filtered for vacuum conditions when air flows into the heads rather than out of them? What have you done for crank case venting? Do you use to the intake manifold to draw on the crank case during vacuum? What about under boost? Where does the crank case vent under boost? Sorry for all the questions, I've spent a lot of time trying to understand the breather system and how it can made better. I'm guessing you've done some homework on this as well and possible got some help from the guys at NF. I've been thinking about trying an exhaust drawn system to vent the crank case but then dealing the heads needing to breath in under vacuum and out under boost is always where I get stuck trying to think of a good solution. |

That is an interesting setup. If there is no real need or little benefit from keeping the crankcase under vacuum then this would be an ideal, maintenance free solution that keeps oil and fuel vapor out of your oil and intake air stream. |

Not my pic haha So the green lines stay as they are... The blue lines go to atmosphere... Red, orange and all other lines get cap off... Correct? |

Green stay. Essentially blue, red, and orange are all T'd together and vented. You don't need that many hoses but that's basically what's happening.
