Turbo BS Thread

You going back to stock cams for VVTi use?

 

Yes sir. Only the intake cams though. Depending on how well that works, may have the Kelford intake cams reground to work with the VVT-I actuators.

 

I think so

 

Alright. What stand alones are folks using?

Wanting to turbo my 95(bad year for boost on stock ecu) single cab SX

 

No help but it's about time you start tinkering with turbos.

 

well. I had a supra...at one point. Wish I still had it. I don't want anything super crazy, mostly just for fun on this street queen DD.

I know some have used Haltec. Not sure which one. I like the PnP DIY setup thats like a MS Micro, but not sure if that what I need or not.

 

I have a problem with my crankcase vent system, advice needed. I had oil come up through the head cover filter and now I’m seeing what appears to be oil at air filter.

 

About time...

 

A handful of us are using the Haltech Elite ecus. Just need to find the match for your needs. Super easy to tune.

 

Turbos create a vacuum headache. For mine, all hoses attached between intake and valve cover/s have been removed and isolated. I imagine you did this, but am not sure. Then the valve cover/s are ran to a vent to atmosphere catch can.

Piston ring blow by goes into crankcase and valve cover space. Through valve cover hose into catch can and vented. No boost air gets forced into the crankcase void preventing oil from blowing out where it shouldn't.

Is that along your path, or do you have something more intriguing?

 

Here's what I have going on, using an Air Oil Separator with Return (AOS-R)

I noted the two places I have oil

 

As in easy to totally do yourself? Don't have any tuning shops where I am.

 

Seems like the 2000 would be fine for a daily driver setup.

 

Looks like your seperator isn't quite doing its job. I don't think you want that oil going back to the pan. It's mixed with other stuff that isn't oil, water from condensation being one. Get rid of the pcv valve also. Back a few pages I posted a file about the ccv/pcv system. There was info in it about the pcv valve closing or restricting the air flow out of the valve cover and forcing it out the breather vent. This might be why you are seeing oil there. In that file the ideal setup was a catch can for each breather. I think both were routed back to the intake.

 

God damn expensive haha

Why aren't folks using the ms3 at all?

 

Go to this quote for the file.

 

I'm reading your file now.
The oil collects at the bottom until there's enough to flow over and down the drain, meanwhile the coolant going to/from the AOS-R heats the oil captured in the bottom, evaporating water and fuel etc to intake (or atmosphere)- supposedly it's clean oil going back in.

 

I see pics of the line I have going to intake going to atmosphere

 

So delete the PCV is what you're saying, unrestricted line from cover to AOS-R

 

Maybe I have the crank pressure coming up the drain line and out the other end?
Install check valve?
