Re: Starting turbo build

no problem, any time... got the methanol pump from you too lol

Thats right you did, I got the 250 PSI pump since the tank is in the trunk space. Hows it working for you?

After all is done , there will be a dual remote filter setup on the drivers side , so there will be only 2 lines coming off the oil filter housing. Its a Trans Depot setup.

Yeah another thing i never did understand where you getting the oil from for the turbo?

Re: Starting turbo build

Usually, you put a T in the oil pressure sensor and it feeds it, I don't know if ssms5411 has anything special in mind, but thats how mine is.

You should probably read more about turbos asking these kind of questions. I'd suggest starting here: http://www.junkyardturbos.com/. It gives a pretty decent overview of everything.

If you look at the picture showdown posted follow the feed line and you'll see the brass T with the oil pressure sensor in it.

Correct using a T at the oil pressure sensor and for coolant for the turbo using a T at the ECT fitting and having a one way flow drain into the lower radiator hose for coolant to go back in the system. I didn't want to mess with the big return lines off the heater core so these should do well.Heres some pics of the oil T and ECT T:

Re: Starting turbo build

Steve, what kind of horsepower/ torque are you expecting to make?
Build looks good thus far.

Wish it was quicker.LOL I got my mount on the engine side done and will try to install the turbo along with the lines today with the DP. Will clean up the area and lower the car back down and drive it to the exhaust shop to install the rest of the exhaust, I'm done welding....LOL

Whatever 10-12 PSI makes while its still cool out, might try 15 PSI if I get some 100 OCT.
During summer I will run 7 PSI with methanol since their brutal here with all the heat. I will still need my methanol hooked up and going but thats a ways off any how maybe April -May.

Re: Starting turbo build

Ran into a snag , well not really I have to take my TB off to install the ECT adapter so it shouldn' take too long to do, heres a nice pic of the oil pressure adapter:
