Sleipnir's FURD BURD Bigfoot thread: Oh chit we have proof of life!

Just did another datalog with V23 and it feels good. Boost is much more controlled and the power feels awesome. Good thing I have V24 at home which @Boostking remapped the torque tables

 

So looks like we're going to TX2K after all! I got the truck all cleaned up and even took a video of the startup. Absolutely no smoke! I'm going to test the @Boostking V24 tune and decide if I want that or V23 for the drive tomorrow.

Been a rollercoaster ride, to get to this end point. Not one of those fun ones either. Now time for the enjoyment and fun of what that kit was meant to be.

 

My sentiments exactly now I get to have some fun with this old girl

 

Called Full Race and I'm getting the 50mm flange elbow to mount the Tial Q. Seems the supersonic is 38mm and won't work for what I'm pushing

 

Already have the Tial Q before I realized the two BOVs were different sizes. It’s super pretty and I’ll snap a pic when I get home. Also will take a picture of the turbo blankets and the little bit of gold heat tape I put on.

 

Your BW's don't also have integrated BOV's?

 

Are you out at the track???

 

We took them off and did a single BOV. I have block of plates on each

I wish!

 

Funnily enough, I have both the TiAL Q, and BW bov's working simultaneously.

 

Well that’s interesting. How did you do that?

 

Ran two vacuum lines.

 

Well went to TX2K today and sure enough the exhaust is smoking again. Biggest embarrassment to date with the truck. I’m seriously pissed that I can pay a “recommended installer” to half ass an engine install and the people who referred me to these crooks take 0 responsibility for their actions.


Let me ask everyone this because clearly every shop I go to is incompetent and I genuinely mean that. Do these drain lines look like they’re going to drain a damn thing? How the hell do you expect to drain a turbo with a 90* elbow? How hard is it seriously to order a $16 fitting from Summit to fix an issue that was promised to be fixed two years ago? How is it I was given a “favor” to fix this issue and it wasn’t fixed? All I got out of it was a $1500 hit to my checking account because I was told to ship the truck there and my problem would be over. Yea right. If I had to do this over, when the motor blew I should’ve threw a junkyard in there, got rid of it and never have done business with crooked people.


Does this look like quality work?

The more I look at this the more I think the drain fittings are jacked on the turbos. Just on a comparison here’s the drains again on the turbos





the drains are covered in oil. Meaning they’re not draining into the block and back into the turbos. I say this because here’s the block side





the drains on the block are not covered in oil so this goes back to my theory the fittings on the drain are jacked. I ordered new vibrant fitting that are straight and will be here Tuesday.

Best example I could find that seems to be part of the issue. I am going to change the 90* bend out and if I’m still smoking I’m going to change the oil drain flanges too

 

Bought these drain flanges which should include the gasket. It looks like an amazing piece and should help prevent frothing and drain the turbos like they should be

Per BW install instructions. That 90* bend ain’t doing me no favors

 

KirkRio will appreciate the business!

Your drains fittings on the block, are currently -10AN yes? Hard to tell by the photo.

If it isn't draining quickly enough due to those 90°'s, that would certainly be a repetitive problem.

NEVR give up. You're nearly there.

 

He definitely makes great stuff!

The drains going into the block are -10 an too. I think that’s my issue with the drains. The 90* elbow should never had been to begin with but hey that’s the price you pay when you take it a PrOfEsSiOnAl ShOp

hopefully this fixes the issues for good
