[doGGy]

Well guy and girls - i can proudly present another project witch i will try to document / write-up / expain to a smallest details as posible. The project is install of a Turbo kit to a Martin (malpaso) 96' ST celica.

Works begin tomorow - so i will try to write up every single day of work i will be spending on his car, all the jobs what was done, and what things are installed and WHY they are installed + how they work and etc. Hoping to make this write up to be usefull to a people who will be doing the same thing later, and for the people to understand better how things work and etc.

Keep and eye on this topic - cuz it will have lots of info and pics in the long run

As for now - Martin celica is securly standing in my yeard - and Martin is traveling back home with the bus (20h drive oh man.... ), so lets hope the owner will give his response in this topic later

My ST-T was running like this for almost 2 years - and nothing melted. If the heat in the place there the hoses run would be such high - everything would melt (including radiator and etc etc..) The bigger head source is Header / Downpipe and Turbo hot part. For the turbine - there will be SSteel cover made, Header has a Heatshield, and doenpipe is wraped in heatwrap. So nothing will melt.

As for the long hoses for the EBC solenoid - i like how they run - its look like there are more action going on under the hood So yea

I could just put the 2 short hoses and mount the Solenoid near the turbo - but practicly there is no place there (cuz of teh damn ABS module....)

As for the Updates - Car is running / drivible. Everything works fine (finished everything yasterday), today finished with the exhaust. SO almost everything is done for tomorow.... Exept one small thing as ussualy has to pop out.. The seal in the inition Distributor is totaly out... It leaks like crazy and i will need to manage some fast way to replace it... So more work left...

Will be posting pics tomorow, and some Dyno chart, and maybe some Video Who knows
