My turbo build

[ssms5411]

So decided to make a thread for my turbo build, going in January 2022. The Turbo is a Garrett Gt35r with a T4,.63ar, Tial 38mm wastegate 10lb spring, Tial 50mm bov , eBay headers. Have -4an line for the oil feed line with .035 oil restrictor, -10an return line to the oil pan, 3” down pipe back to the rest of the 3” exhaust. Have plx wideband, shift glow fuel psi gauge, just got a mks digital vac/boost gauge , should be easier to read when driving. Also 2 Aeruoforce gauges and will be tuned by Hptuners.31”x12x 4” alm. Intercooler, 2 1/2” alm. pipping.Turbosmart boost controller.

Looking forward to seeing that, Steve.

Me too, hopefully he doesn’t back out this time. I’m staying the weekend , plan is to drop it off Friday, work on it Saturday and Sunday and I’m going to have it towed after we’re done don’t really want to drive it 11 miles up the hill going from 2k DA to 5k DA . Really needs to be fine tuned. Plus I have 4 free tows with AAA. I’ll tune it once I’m up here.

Well I’ll see how it runs next Saturday, have a alignment appointment next Saturday should be over a hundred miles round trip. I think my transmission is on its way out sometimes when I go WOT the engine revs up but I don’t gain any speed. I’m lost on what to do.

Where are you from in Arizona, Steve?

[ssms5411]

Where are you from in Arizona, Steve?

Yes, but don’t know how long. Checking out Colorado next year.

[2.8 Bird]

I ask because I was in Arizona this weekend. I just got back last night. I was at William's on Saturday and Flagstaff on Saturday and Monday. I thought about you for some reason.

[ssms5411]

Cool you were pretty close to me. I’m in Yarnell, you probably drove through if you were on the 93 or 89. I’ll have to give you my contact info so next time you can stop by.

[ssms5411]

Fixed some of my tunning problems , see if it makes it Saturday for the alignment. But still think my tranny is going out. Won’t get even close to redline, just revs about 4700-5100 rpm’s. Checked fluid it’s good.

[ssms5411]

Found out my transmission problems was the tune ,put it back to stock settings and it’s fine. Always keep your stock tune,lol Going to make some little changes at a time. Got my alignment Saturday and drove not too bad.

[ssms5411]

So the mechanic said January 15th and 16th. Going to drop everything off this weekend while dropping off X-Mas stuff. I’m starting off with a10lb spring. See how it runs. I still have tunning problems with the transmission but hopefully will figure it out by then. Engine wise it’s running strong.

[ssms5411]

It’s still ago, 2 more weeks, can’t wait.
