Turbo BS Thread

Just a lil better still rich but goin in the right direction

 

I need a new maf tube, some mandrel bends and vbands for the down pipe/exhaust. Then some odds and ends for vacuum/boost lines that I’ll figure out as I go. I'm still super early in the build because I swapped gears with @boostedka in the middle and did all the preventative maintenance stuff to my front end. But I’ve added a line and resealed the oil pan, removed throttle body and stock exhaust. This is my first turbo project ever so I’m researching everything like twice before I do/buy still. I really wish there was a cheaper option for a forward facing intake the stock one adds alot of piping/bends.
Also i close on a two family in two weeks so i had to slow my role with parts ordering for a few.

 

@Speed Freek makes a fairly reasonably price FFM.

www.stainlessheaders.com for your stainless. Very well priced for USA steel.

 

Speak of the

 

I have recently had a bunch of requests to build these again (economy seems to be swinging back into spend mode recently)
Im going start making these again so will be an option.

Gets rid of a mile of bends and the factory throttle cable fits as well as using the stock TB.
And for anyone that thinks that the stock TB cant make power, I made over 520hp @ the wheels with a stock TB and fuel rail.

 

How much $?

 

They used to be priced at $550, however I need to check on material cost since its been years since I made them, and material is always going up (even though recycle price goes down) go figure!

 

I’ve been in contact with you I’ve just been waiting to hear actual prices+Start and lead time

 

Anyone aware of good sales on radiator hoses? Mine look good but I’ll probably pic some up

 

Basically going through this truck while doing the turbo

 

dyno tuned yesterday... had some issues initially but got them rectified.... wastegate wasnt opening boost spiked to 20psi
pulled it apart and changed the wastegate springs and was getting 8psi so i added a manual boost controller

plugs needed to be gapped... boost was killing the spark

went back and did couple pulls to lock in the boost controller at 13psi... wanted 15psi but with that much power the van would be pointless to drive... let me tell you at 13psi now.... its disgustingggg rips the backend straight up to 3rd gear

sorry for the captions on the pic... just saved them from my snapchat story

 

Dat 400 ft lb club brah!

 

Which engine is this? Either way, very nice numbers! That torque curve!!!

 

5vz engine stock motor

 

Just raised the bar for you, @Brice .

 

I can't possibly follow this whole thread, so forgive me if it's been mentioned. What fuel are you using, and how much, if any, timing are you pulling at 13lb?

 

ok no problem.... heres my thread

Fuel we get at the pump in Jamaica is 91 octane which is crap to be honest... Im also running meth
can view dyno pull here

Is that some antilag 2step witchcraft going on there? That's wild!

 

With all due respect, can't wait for some carnage. Would you ever consider using forged internals?

For anyone whom hasn't read through his build this guy goes fucking hard. Has pictures of the aftermath of a failed flywheel being ejected out of the side of his bell housing.

 

yup antilag
