Re: JLW's ( REV 3 GT spec Turbo, smg Tbar ) YVS Performance Built
Another job done recently was to wrap the boost and intake pipes on the car with heat management gold tape from Funk Motorsport, I thought this might be a easy job.... turns out it was very tricky, straight pipes easy as pie. Bends however, a nightmare. The tape does not give at all, so you have to ...

Re: JLW's ( REV 3 GT spec Turbo, smg Tbar ) YVS Performance Built
Another small job, But one that was needed to be redone was to re-grease the seals. As many know, best process is to clean all the seals on the T-bar. Then liberally apply ( with gloves being best ) and leave for 24 hours for the seals to absorb as much as possible of the "Shin Etsu" greas...

Re: JLW's ( REV 3 GT spec Turbo, smg Tbar ) YVS Performance Built
So, like the rest of the world, I'm staying home as we speak due to the corona virus crisis. However, it has given me plenty of time to get tonnes of smaller, and larger jobs I had listed on the car done. And in the process of doing more. The first I wanted to tackle was re-routing the launch contro...

Re: JLW's ( REV 3 GT spec Turbo, smg Tbar ) YVS Performance Built
1.7 bar. It's a borg warner s252sx-e. Had to stop at 373 (actually made 380 at one point) as the fuel pressure was very erratic. I run a deadhead setup so the mapper suggested going back to a regular return line. My walbro is whiney as hell so something's not quite right. Once i get the pressure so...

Re: JLW's ( REV 3 GT spec Turbo, smg Tbar ) YVS Performance Built
Downpipe created and WG fitted, next up will be creating the new pipe running
from the SMIC intake. The downpipe is only tac'ed in place as the manifold was
but will be properly welded once all angles are done.

Re: JLW's ( REV 3 GT spec Turbo, smg Tbar ) YVS Performance Built
So instead of just putting the car back together, I decided that with the success of the spare wheel I would paint the strut braces. Along with tackling two problem area's for corrosion, mostly caused by the strut tower openings. https://i.imgur.com/b1rixMq.jpg https://i.imgur.com/1PyJ7eG.jpg I star...
