Turbo M3 build / project

[DubsMcGee]

Went up to Real Street Performance in Blaine tonight and checked out the shop and talked to the owner, Chris, about doing some work for me. He showed me some of the other projects/cars he is working on and I am excited to bring my car up there for the exhaust work.

Interesting, it looks like they cater to multiple demographics, unlike most custom shops around. Cool.

Yup; just car guys playin with cars. No discrimination.

Yeah, first plan is a hose to teh ground. put it in a container or catch can for tuning/track.

That's how I'm rolling. 3/4" heater hose from the valve cover down just below the steering rack on the drivers side. Natural vacuum is created whilst driving.

[magz]

it shot volleyball shaped/sized flames before.

I can attest to that.

Dave, when is the car going in to Real Street?

[BimmerTim]

I wanna shoot flames.

Great progress Dave. I should swing up some night when you are out there.

Thank! Agree. Likely going to pull the front subframe this week so i can reinforce it and then pull the motor again because teh new flywheel should be here on friday.

Tthats sweet. Still thinking about stainless?

Nope, no reason to run stainless piping on this car, just like we talked about. The muffler will likely be stainless though. Chris at Real Street was showing us how he coats all of the piping after it is welded up. Pretty sweet.

Exactly how I felt. They were working on a bagged S10 with an LS1 in it when we were there.

Well, aside from the pressurized air that finds its way into the valvetrain.... it is fairly common for boosted cars to see pressure in the valve cover region. However, I have never been one to worry about that more than just running a hose out. Shit, on my gti i ran without anything and sprayed oil all over my shiny engine bay. ha

I can attest to that.

Dave, when is the car going in to Real Street?

2-3 weeks. Lots of work to do before then. I would like to have the exhuast done before it gets painted.

Mahoney talked me into polishing the barrels on the Kinesis wheels. So I started that last night.

Good call on the exhaust.

If we built a small bracket so that the hose opening was always facing the rear of the car, there would be some solid vacuum any time you're moving forward.

That's what I did. With a zip tie.

I would hate for oil to come out of the line under boost and then have to worry about driving on it. Especially on a track day or something. I am sure the track attendants would love that. I am not sure how much oil would come out, but when you putting down in front of your rear wheels, any is more than I would want.

There most definitely needs a 'like' button on that photo.

[KeithStone]

kinda hard to photo the barrels under house lighting with a flash. just shows the imperfections and shit.

oh well. they look tits outside.

You can't pass tech inspection with the line draining to the road. It has to be into a container, easy to do.

a drip of oil here or there isnt cool but it is what it is. there is oil all over the roads.

Plus it is a good way to rust proof the under side of the car... just have a light mist of oil on everything.
