Hey all,
I was told that I should post my project here and I decided, sure why the hell not?
Here's a little backstory:
I'm new to the auto hobby world, and got this D100 from my mom in TX. Drove it back from TX through New Orleans, to Nashville before the dash lit on fire (which we later found out was because of a bad wire on the plug for the voltage regulator)!
Overcharged the whole system, melted the ballast resistor plug, everything was gooey!
Got back on the road using a multimeter and a power strip in line with the alternator to prevent overcharge, and made it out of the mountains to Knoxville where I got it fixed. haha
Few days later we were back in NY the day of the first snow. From there I was determined to fix this big hunk of sheet metal.
Well I got that far, and the winter has kicked me out of my makeshift paint booth, and on to other things.
SO I was thinking, well, I have all winter...Let's Turbo It!
Still in the middle of the research step right now, but from what I've gathered from the forum here, the slant should be able to take a quiet 10psi with stock components (assuming it's not all beat up inside).
Currently designing a blow through system, and have these components:
Garret Turbo from an 2.3L Audi 9-5 Aero (2005)
Super-Six 2BBL that I was lucky to get off craigslist for 70 bucks
Modified Holley 500 CFM Blow Through Carburetor (Not 70 bucks) lol
and lastly, a wideband standalone O2 AFR setup from AEM
That's it for now, but if anyone shows interest, I'll be happy to post more stuff!
Thanks all for watching.
(P.S. If anyone knows where I can get an old 5 1/8" blow through bonnet that doesn't restrict air flow, and doesn't cost 250 dollars, please let me know. I feel like I'm in the desert and running out of places to look for water. Damn things are in hiding, or just don't exist.)
