Turbo BS Thread

Generally it is an amp per thousandth of an inch.

 

my cxr wastegate had some shmoo in it initially that i cleaned out before installing. everything else looked pretty good and its been working perfectly so far.

 

Just got finished opening it up and cleaning said shmoo out.

You watch AvE on youtube too? Hes a smart old prick lol

 

i do but whad i say have to do about him?

 

Shmoo hahah

RELEASE THE SHMOO!!!!!

 

shmoo is a common "word" isnt it. it is here

 

Pics of shmoo?

 

mine's perkin right now, ill be joining you soon

 

Since @MrCrowntown purchased his wastegate, figured I should get mine as well. Hard to boost without one, anyway.....

Hoping to have the charge tubing fabricated and intercooler mounted, by the end of the weekend. Then wastegate once it arrives.

 

How much boost do you plan on running when its all said and done? And are you shoot for 723 whp?

 

Starting out small. 4-7 psi. Get the tune dialed in, then go from there. We'll see what the psi brings as far as hp.

 

I'll be going with the turbosmart kompact BOV upgrade as well

 

I think I mentioned it before in this thread. Anyway, typical history has proven that a ~ 2x power output is had on a turbo build, when certain components are used, at ~8.7psi.

My dyno gives me the idea that hypothetically 8.7psi should get the engine near 540whp and 660wtq. I'll likely be at the very low end of the efficiency range of the EFR 9180, so as the boost goes up a little it would make even more hp/psi.

 

I found the problem with the tps and a solution.

 

Yup. That'd do it. Lol . Good find.

 

Finally got around to putting on a turbo blanket and heatwrapping the downpipe. Well rather, got around to taking pics of it lol.
It's made such a big difference in underhood temps- plus it stopped my main harness from melting!

Used an eBay turbo blanket that was set to work with internally gated turbskies
DEI Titanium heatwrap was used on the downpipe.
Also installed the Mamba adjustable internal wastegate, and cleaned up around the area. I'll be attempting to deep clean the whole engine bay as carshow season approaches.

 

I keep looking thinkin there is a better way to clock that but stuff keeps gettin in my way...

 

Dude I know- It's odd because @KirkRio has a similar turbo, and his is clocked 180 degrees counterclockwise of mine. If I do that, mine hits the inner wheel well. And I don't have that many clocking points of adjustments. I would LOVE to clock it to how he has it, because it looks so much cleaner.

 

Have you tried clocking it 180° clockwise
