Turbo BS Thread

Downpipe after any sensors. I have the hardware for sale if you’re interested.

 

I’m not going to exhaust.

 

If you put it on the outlet of the compressor, you're going to pressurize the system. You could run a check valve to keep from pressurizing the pcv system, but then you would only be drawing through the system when you're out of boost.

 

Definitely can’t do anywhere outlet side of the turbo you won’t see enough vacuum during boosting to keep up with crancase pressure i know from experience. Also you couldn’t do the angle trick because the boost pressure would overcome the cfm of air speed whenever you are boosting. Your really better off venting a turbo to atmosphere or pre turbo intake or post sensors exhaust. No real reason to venture away from those three as they are proven and consistent

 

Found what I was thinking about with the crankcase venting to exhaust.

So I'm slowly getting a urd SC kit installed. I got it used so there was a few things missing (basic hardware and brackets). I'm looking at getting the aem afr/boost with fail safe gauge. What do you guys think? Also are there any parts I should consider swapping out or replacing as I prepare to finally install the kit?

 

Isn’t this for heads without PCV?

 

I thought pressure builds at the plenum, there’s still vacuum at the turbo outlet at boost due to turbo moving air

 

No it’s a positive pressure every where from compressor to the throttle body.

 

May be. But if you can scavenge a light vacuum with it then in theory it'll pull the crankcase vent away and out the tailpipe. The only way to do this on a FI engine is pre turbo which puts all that gunk into the turbo. On my VDub I just ran some 3/4" hose off of the delete kit that Teed into the crankcase and valve cover. This vents to atmosphere under the car where it's tie wrapped.

 

Haltech DBW CRUISE released yesterday with v2.29 firmware, grab ESP v2.00.35 to go with it

I’d wait till the first few bugs are found to make a decision... haltech seems to while having a great tuning system be really buggy with no real answers from their engineers in aus

 

Cruise has been incorporated with their Ford Falcon Barra PnP ECU since release, with no issues. I've spoken with them for the last few weeks about this and was told it was being tested with the 1500/2500 thoroughly. I doubt they released cruise control prematurely, especially after having taken so long to release it.

After updating yesterday and reviewing the software, speed sensors must be enabled (obviously, but not necessary otherwise) and there's a single wire from the stalk that must be calibrated. It seems easy enough, there's a calibration button to autosense the voltage as it's being applied; I'm happy to see this, vice measuring and inputting resistance for each control.

 

What are you thinking needs to be replaced?

Upgraded spark plugs.

 

I’m not talking about bugs in the cruise but rather bugs in the new software as a whole.

 

Caution cannot be used with mufflers. Exactly what I was talking about.

 

Yes and no. Any back pressure would overpower the potential vacuum created. Stock exhaust-no good. Free flowing 3"-good.

 

Nothing in particular I was just wondering if there was anything that was like hey it would be better if it used this instead of that.

 

Did you get the fuel pump upgrade with the used kit or buy it seperate? There are a couple of threads on better parts to swap for some of the parts that come with it.
