Agreed on the ticking time bomb, but that is probably the nicest Cavalier I've ever seen.

slidebite posted:For starters, nothing on the air side of that turbo at all from what I can see. I can't figure out what that small pipe at the bottom center of where they collect at the turbo flange is doing. Is it going to another turbo or something? It's just not running a filter, and the small pipe is heading to the wastegate. Apart from just having the intake-side of the turbo open, that appears to be a pretty straight-forward turbo setup.

The Nissan KA has a forged bottom end awaiting new pistons to seal the deal. They can withstand quite a lot of abuse and make that Altima move rather quickly for what it is. The tail lights (probably head lights too), paint, stupid can exhaust, decals, and wheels ruin a rather quick sleeper.

The attachment then for the compressed air going feeding the engine is just below frame then? It looked so far right to me that I wondered if was attached to it at all.

Yes, the air going to the intake is just out of frame, it then most likely goes through an inter cooler which is why the pipes don't turn around right at the turbo and go back into the engine. The big tube shaped part coming out of the turbo is where the air comes into the turbo, there is usually an air filter on that end, or piped to it. The fifth pipe as he said is going to a wastegate (it's the silver bubble to the left of the turbo). Chickenbisket fucked around with this message at 21:58 on Nov 26, 2011 |

Yeah, pretty common setup for inline 4 FWD engine bays. GIS Edit: It's a shame the rest of the car looks like poo poo.

You can make out the compressor outlet's coupler just barely at the bottom of the turbo/picture. The comp housing is clocked such that it points toward the ground. The fifth pipe is not an inlet but an outlet leading to an external wastegate. He is not running an air filter on the turbo like a dummy.

I am, however a fan of wheels painted a different colour, particularly if the car is white. If I had it I would keep it stock looking and get some OEM wheels and paint them red or something. Did I mention I have bad taste? Hopefully the brakes are not stock :sartre: leyton house fucked around with this message at 13:31 on Nov 29, 2011 |

Tongsy posted:http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Cadi...3#ht_500wt_1182 These were the Caterra's of the 80's. Even if you were a Cadillac dealer, they had an additional $15,000 buy in to sell the vehicles because of "promotional market cost." There was also a 25k buy in on the Caterra. All the Cadillac dealers in the area, save for one, had this reaction in both the Caterra and Cimarron's case:  I remember my dad going to the meeting wondering what they were going to spew out because the last time Cadillac pulled a "special meeting", they revealed the 4-6-8 which as we all know was a classic turd.

Had to almost pull the whole dash out and it's made weird noise since, but the heater works great now! I'm definitely paying someone else to do it if there's ever another problem though.
