Operation: Boosted Tangerine, BACK UP AND RUNNING!!! Options

[hurley97]

Yes, a properly welded fitting will work fine, key word being properly. IMO, I would rather eliminate the risk by using a factory pan. Either way, goodluck and can't wait to see some progress on this project.

That was pretty much what I was getting at. But can't beat free I guess. It's not like I'm against welding a fitting to the pan, that's how I have with my return line.

cant wait to see this boosted tangerine put up some #s...

Just to end the oil pan dilemma. The oil pan is my old 5S pan, and the fittting is being welded on my the welding instructor at my college. He has been welding for over 35 years and his "weekend job" is welding tube race chassis together. I feel as though a man who puts other peoples lives in the balance of his welds will have NO problem with an oil return fitting on an oil pan. Enough said.

Also...Yes, this is a budget build. However, this is NOT the first turbo setup I have ever installed. Its easier for me to list the cars WITHOUT turbos that I've worked on, rather than list the turbo cars. Brent's setup will be VERY similar, if not almost identicle to Shannons setup. Jim has helped oversee this build along with myself, so Brent is in very good hands.

think ill just use 5s oil pan then, learn new things everyday. cant wait to see progress!!!

time to speak from experience. I am a welder, iv welded enough fittings to oil pans for friends who have boosted, and down pipes etc etc. if it is done properly (which doesnt take alot of effort) it will be fine, i have fixed a few of other people's bubble gum screw ups were they have brazed the fitting on and it leaked, but iv never had any issues with mine, iv never had anyone come back yet telling me one of my weld's failed. part of my guarantee is a free repair if it fails, 3 years running and no complaints or returns yet that being said.
good luck Brent, i am anxious to see that lil orange fly! no doubt you guys will do the 6thgen fam proud with a sick budget build! make us proud.....

Ok ive been super busy lately and havnt had time to buy parts. i planned on doin more this weekend but it ended up that iw asnt near a computer all weekend. so hopefully tomorrow i will be able to start getting mroe parts that i need. clutch,wastegate, piping, etc. But sadly the install will probly take place early to mid march. because Cam could not get off work haha. all is good tho. im hopeing to get my exhaust installed in the next week or 2!.

Well, aside from the fact that I can't get off work that weekend, the fact that someone was neglecting their parts buying responsibilities this weekend by hustling ppl, jumping off houses, running from cops, fornicating, getting slammed into walls, and breaking body parts, things might be moving a long a little faster

juuuuuuuust playin

So what is the cost of this budget build?

[SeverX13]

[crankyelbow]

sweet man.. I'll be watching closely and gaining inspiration =)

[SeverX13]

Im glad man, inspiration is what got me to keep my celica and turbo it. Jim and Shannon's celica's were my inspiration.

So its starting to look more along the lines of Mid to Late March. But its all good, PA weather isnt that nice until then anyway. Also, it will give you (and me) more time to weed out a few more small things. I just hope the Mexican can make it back to PA with me then too.
