Turbo BS Thread

Sheesh! that's awesome! arp head studs? That's going to be killer!

 

Stock. Doesn't need them, it's just a back up engine at this point. My current engine has been up to 13 psi twin charged with non metal gaskets and stock head bolts. Timing is everything, or atleast a major part of it.

Throttle body shipped from Maxbore today! Woooo!

 

Thats a bunch of spare parts which is great. If you get the chance i would put a drift brake in. I need to.

 

Finally finished the manifold. Time to deck it, and then barking wheelies

 

I like it! Ready to see it installed. Nice wastegate too.

I still have silicone couplers of theirs, from when I first turbo charged my truck. Very good quality!!!

 

Inching closer. My throttle body returned from Maxbore.com today! Super happy with the work and now I don't have a high idle.

For those with a 3.4, the butterfly wears into the throttle bore over time and creates a leak. This is because there is no thrust bushing on the throttle shaft.

Maxbore opens up the bore a bit and machines a new butterfly valve to fit. Perfect seal. They also put a washer on the shaft to prevent walk. Additionally they recalibrate the Tps sensor to spec. Finally return shipping is included in the price. This ends up being $10 more than a used junk yard throttle body after shipping. Sooo worth it!

I thought I took a pic of the before gap (it was bad) but I guess not (Found it and added). Here is another old one I have and the reworked one side by side.

 

Wow. Never seen one worn out like that.

 

Here is the latest. The twin scroll setup for a T4 flange.

 

That painter's tape rated for 1000°?

 

2000

 

Looks good, lot tighter then mine. Is that 1.25 pipe?

 

Finally got it all wrapped. Fucker barks a wheelie now. Now the speedometer dont work. If i didnt have bad luck i wouldnt have any luck. Got the rear chassis painted. Probably shouldve opened a door, but its colder then a coal miners ass out there. Plus i cant smell anything cause of the wuhan wheezer.

 

Thank you! You are correct. That was the closest to the OEM primaries. From the header that @BassAckwards sent to me.

That turned out very nice! Got a coal miner's black nose too, I imagine. Lol. Sending some positive vibes that you heal up well!

 

Starting 5 speed swap right meow.

 

Made some progress in the short time I have had.

 

It's out.

 

That went quickly. Do you have to change the ECU?

 

that looks like pretty heavy gauge tubing (pipe?) for an exhaust manifold.
