Turbo BS Thread

Quite curious what you find. Bee too long, but looking at the above photo, it looks to be a TiAL one.

 

Are you planning on using radiator coolant plumbed into it, or its own reservoir and pump?

 

For like 2 minutes this morning it seemed that someone slipped some non e85 in my lines... But it settled out kinda

 

Phenolic gasket? Never heard of this.

It's own reservoir and pump. So far the radiator is looking like it'll fit nicely in the grill. The only problem is the extra weight on my core support is probably going to kill it. Already has multiple cracks in it.

 

So this is something I've been looking into for my 1uz since the block and all the intake is aluminum.

 

Valve is just fine. I lost a port cap. The base has 3 areas you can hook up to. I lost the one you can't see. New plug and high temp loctite in my future. Ignore the open coolant port

 

That'll do it. Easy enough fix though.

 

That's quite the perfect fit.

I know you've the skills to gusset up that core support. Then it'll be perfect.

 

Is there a general rule of thumb for blow off valve size? I'm sure larger is better. I'm considering using this port which I can't remember what it was originally for, pvc return maybe? It's about a half inch hole.

 

You cannot use that port for the BOV actuation. It needs to be post throttle body. To have vacuum and boost.

 

That hole is a bit small. Just cap it off. Put your BOV by your turbo kinda like how an EFR turbo is.

edit: plus you don't want to add any more turbulence around your throttle body.

 

Not for the signal line, was thinking of venting it out of there.

 

Are you running a maf sensor?

 

Ahh

 

This, and where is its location?

 

Yes, still running with a MAF. It's staying in the same place it's been, right before the turbo. The BOV is a 25 air 75 recirc type to keep from stalling.

Old photo but it's pretty much still the same other than a better filter. The port on the 90 coupler is the return for the BOV. At 100% it would screw with the MAF and stall, the 25/75 seems to make it all happy.

 

Maybe tap a hole on the intercooler like the subarus

Don't believe everything you read on FB.

 

So I got another 5 lug but this one has a turbo (n20). It needed a timing chain job so that took a bit to do.
