5 Lug Long Travel 2rz Turbo Build

Yup, corona/riverside for me. I moved to SD, but work was easier to find out here. And everything is cheaper. And guns. Haha

 

Yeah they did our AR-15 pretty bad now. I sure have a good amount of restrictions on the things I like. We do have legal weed even though I don't smoke, lol. Oh yeah they charge you for plastic bags. Hmm search for an engineering job in AZ maybe.

 

The drive from PHX aint that bad

 

Went to superstition ohv over the weekend. Truck did great til the end. The turbo header snapped at the brace. Made it home with safety wire holding the header together. Stay tuned for engine mounts and header repair, lol. Pretty sure the jump at camp broke it. 2 years. Thought I'd honestly kill it sooner.

 

I will live vicariously through your pictures while im working in southern illinois

Glad you had the resources to get you home! Good luck with the repair

 

Just means your suspension setup works really well.

I safety wired a turbo to its manifold on a friend's drift car once. Broke off during a drift race. Worked well enough that he was able place 3rd. Lol. That wasn't long before he went Pro in FD.

 

@YumaTRD stuck his gopro in the window when I took his fiance a ride. Of course when you stick a gopro in my truck things get pretty wild when I hucked the truck. Hoping the video turned out well even though I was shit talking for the first minute.

I snap some photo next weekend of what lasted for a 180 mile drive home in the pouring rain,lol. Loud as all hell under the hood and couldn't get enough back pressure to boost. I see gussets tabs happening when I reweld it. Stainless manifold would be best, but I'm so rough on this truck. Guys around camp were like this motor sounds sweet with the BOV and turbo screaming.

 

Hell yeah it does! 4cylinder turbo dune slayers are the shit.

 

My mind has been looking into a megasquirt ms3 when I do a standalone. Not as powerful like a haltech, but it will get me to where I want to take this motor. Still need to beef up the engine bay first as my header told me this weekend when it slammed into the hood multiple times.

 

Time to creep through your thread to find parts with your rear end

 

What size injectors are you planning on running with the MS?

 

I'm going to run my 550s on pump gas. This is going to take a bit of time. Probably only going to run 350hp to the ground. We are talking into the future though. This crazy idea might take me a year.

 

That sucks. Oh well, can be fixed.
Windy and rain?

 

A year!?!?!?!! Nothing else is as important

(I cannot do anything to mine, so I currently must live vicariously.)

 

NIce! Thats going to be a fast truck! I'm thinking i may do the MS3 as well with 440 injectors.

 

No rain and just a bit windy on saturday. Dirt was awesome. Wish I could of done more than just a saturday sunday meet.

Why you stuck on yours? It all takes time. I gotta teach myself all this stuff. Once I get my stock pile of parts installed I'll be doing motor stuff. There is a bit left to squeeze out of my mapecu3 still.

 

Are you still using it in Maf-intercept?

If so, then you can squeeze more out of it if you switch it to Maf-Delete(using its MAP sensor.)

Working to fix the head gasket on my BMW 328iS. So that Incan focus on the truck.

 

Yeah still on maf. Haven't tried map, but only read that people say it makes the motor feel slow. I can try it for a day to see if they are right. I can trick the maf by pulling out my insert to change my maf curve.

Oh yeah side projects do that. Think I got an air leak on my car I gotta chase down.

 

Got a guy on XRU, who gave up on MAF intercept because he just couldn't get everything to smooth out. Switched to MAP, and he was much more enthusiastic about its response from the operation. It is worthy a try.

I want to say that he loaded a different vehicle's map, then adjusted from there.

 

I'm definitely going to try it out.
