Double check your 1/8 bspt oil feed tee you got, just got mine in and it didn't have the 1/8 npt on the side like it was suppose to as just a 1/8 bspt tee all around. I was only able to get maybe 1 thread engaged on that 1/8 npt > 4 an fitting. Just ordered the GlowShift one now (should have done that to begin with ...), but it comes with 2 - 1/8 npt now.

 

Just checked it mine out
The top doesn't like the NPT but it does fit my 1/8 BSP fitting nicely

.
It doesn't seem to want more than just the tip of the NPT or BSPT in the back end though

There's probably a thread chaser or tap to make it fit a little better.

I should test fit the other option I have for below the oil pressure sensor

 

Yea I took a wrench to mine and could get it to go 2.5 turns, but I don't think I could with thread tape on there so I ain't trusting it with the amount of oil pressure coming out of that port. Hopefully the Glowshift one is better.

Got my IC and pipe kit today too! I am digging the black pipe, too bad some of it will need chopped though. Should be getting WG, gauges, and catch can and other goodies later tonight as well! Will post them up in Turbo BS when I does.

 

I'm just over here jamming a 1/8NPT tee into the BSPT block cause they're so close the brass deforms and seals fine

 

I had my NPT And BSPT fitting backwards in that statement so I edited it

 

Brass makes sense

 

I also don't have a single vacuum check valve yet

 

You can get em at the auto parts store usually

 

I looked a little while back and they didn't have any or I would have snagged them. I'll check again eventually. I wasn't sure how many I'd end up needing or what sizes so it was mostly just a scouting mission

 

I did stainless to stainless so that might be part the problem

 

Here's the Tee were talking about for those following along

How much is project gonna cost in the end?

 

All of it

 

same yo

 

Ace maybe?

Other than the brake booster, what are you putting check valves on?

 

I have a spreadsheet I am keeping with everything I am buying for it, currently I am up to $2650. I am still pending Oil lines, BOV, and some misc other parts so likely somewhere in the ballpark of $3000 for my first phase. That doesn't include any engine mgt system yet either...

 

I'm about $3000 into the physical turbo and manifolds/lines etc and $3000 into engine mgmt. Probably have another $400 to go on intercooler and piping shit

 

Good question but I honestly don't know yet

I'd imagine the VSV's don't want to see boost. I feel like most of the turbo 5vz's I've seen don't have our style of charcoal canister and VSV's but Im sure the info is out there if I try digging

 

ah yea, I haven't put much thought into those yet. I think most of it can likely be just capped/filtered but guess we will find out haha Brake Booster I know already has a check valve in it, but not sure of the strength so I might put another one in just in case. PCV system I am fully routing to catch and vent to atomosphere. FPR will see a vacuum/boost source for that FreeMU . That is about as far as I have thought at this point, I have been looking at the Split Second Enrichner too though and may be pulling the trigger on it for my first phase rather than down the road. Simple little thing and you can tap into the TPS voltage to essentially turn it off when in open loop and let the ECU and FPR do its thing for the lower boost we will run initially.

 

You'll definitely need something, they just don't do well on the stock computer alone since it strives for near 14.7AFR constantly. I fought with piggybacks and other devices on my 3RZ truck so much I just decided I'm not doing all that again just have it still act weird.
