Turbo Build !!!

[tdurr]

everyone asking if ur car is boosted lol.

[dallasb84]

and it sounds like shit

[tdurr]

^^ ur dumb. not 1 person who has heard my car said such. only that its loud.

[dallasb84]

[dallasb84]

[tdurr]

lol. if u say so.

[ej1boy95]

looks like we have a race !

[dallasb84]

[dallasb84]

btw im in marietta too

[ej1boy95]

hmmm idk. if u say your car is fast then go slow

if you want to run open downpipe, make sure you have at least 18-24" of pipe after the o2 bung so it doesn't get contaminated afr readings.

[dallasb84]

sounds like you wanna open dp.... thats ghey.

ok so after the O2 bung have 18-24" of pipe ? and how far should the O2 bung be from the turbo ?

[ej1boy95]

if you say so

[SPOOLIN]

DP might be painful, i suggest 1 on 1 at first!!

what do u mean painful ?

some stock ones put the o2 right @ the turbo, but the pressure can damage the o2 and give slightly erroneous readings. i suggest anywhere 12" after the turbo at the closest. the more common is towards the end of the downpipe underneath the axle area, but if you do that you'll need a bolt on extension if you want to run open dp.

wish someone told me this before i made my set up lol

you can just do a bolt on extension for the tuning and remove it if you want to stay open dp. we've had to do that on some cars that come in, but we don't always have the perfect extension on hand without having to make/modify one.

lol i'd have to weld a flange to the pipe then.. its just a turndown atm...

[ej1boy95]

hey guys.
sorry its been taking so long to get this together. but tomorrow im going to start putting it on. i have everything i need. i went and got the bov flange welded to the intercooler piping so im all set. i will take some pics. while installing everything. so i can let yall know how smooth it goes.

[tdurr]

still wating on pics

[ej1boy95]

alright well ive got the turbo FINALLY on. It has taken me 6 days and these were the worst 6 days ever. It was a pain in my ass but i made it happen. I prolly would of finished a lot earlier if i didnt have a bunch of littleproblems. Anyways I got it on and it runs great. Sorry it has taken so long for me to reply back. Ive been getting up at like 10 and getting home at 12. So i havent really had any time, but I will get some pics. up soon. I dont really have that many, sosorry for that.

[tdurr]

its all good man. It took me 4 straight 12+ hours days to get my kit on my car. the first two days i stayed awake under my car for over 30hours.... ask Roche lol

yea i am soooooooo happy to finally be done with mine. at one point i wanted to give up, but i stayed strong. lol but for some reason i dont think the bov is working right. it opens when i let off the throttle but it dont sound like it should. i have an HKS SSQV, but mine is really quiet compared to my friends.

[CaTcH22]

Each setup may have a slightly different sound... but as long as it works it ok. Pics, or you dont have a boosted car.

[ej1boy95]

ok. well tomorrow i will have some pics. so yall will believe me.

[tdurr]

play with the screw on the back of the bov. that adjust the "loudness" if u will of the bov. do u have the instructions?

no i dont have the instructions. but i have the newer style bov. so theres no screw on back

[tdurr]

um.. check the website then. should be something on there

[jdm>usdm]

In for pics!!!

[dallasb84]

i got the same one....

im betting you got a vac problem....... mines pretty loud

[ej1boy95]

well today i drove my car for a good bit. but when i got close to the house it started to smoke and i smelt oil burning.i said to myself no fucking way ! well i pulled under my carport smoke was still coming from under hood. so i got out and checked under the hood, and guess what, there was oil EVERYWHERE ! it was on the mani, turbo, piping almost any thing under the hood had oil on it. so i look under the car and theres was about a quart of oil laying on the concrete. right beside the downpipe. so im guessing the turbos seals are gone and oil shot out the downpipe. if that is the case im selling everything, because im tired of dealing with this turbo. my car is a daily driver so i cant keep messing with it and not having anything to drive. so if anyone wants some 4 day old turbo stuff, im selling it. hola at me if your interested !

[D3UC3S]

we all told you to be careful of that ebay stuff


Shoulda left the S/C on....it was a perfect car

[dallasb84]

whoa whoa whoa..... befor jumping to conclusions you need to do a thourough pre flight check list.....

or have someone look at it and check everything out. this is your first time and you prolly made a bunch of mistakes that you need to fix......


i dont understand how you can blow the seals like that.....

theres a few thing you could have fucked up.......

first is your drain line.... second is not having a restrictor.... third oil drain location.....
is your evac hooked up right.... did you burn up your feed line...

a seal like that should not blow....... period... even on a ebay.... ive bought quite a few of em

[dallasb84]

take some pic asap....

close ups of the engine bay.... and more importantly underside of your hood......

pics of your vacum lines.... basically post up some pics of each item you installed and well go from there and save this build.....

youve put too much into this for failure.....


i have a full ebay kit working just fine on my car and i drive it everyday. and so far 3 trips to va and back........


well get it right.


now post some pics.... do it now

x49875394. Dont take it off, more then likely its a simple problem. Ebay turbos usually are good up to like 12psi daily with a restrictor(from wut i heard) gaskets and oil lines are deff things u wanna check. Check to see where the oil is spraying from and too.

[dallasb84]

if theres a problem with the drain line...... the oil pressure will build in the center section and blow past the turbine seal..... on any turbo not just ebay ones....

just keep that in mind

[TopNotchEG9]

I got the same set-up but never had any problem...but don't give up on the set-up...when i got the ebay turbo...i was told to re-torque every bolt on the turbo...and my motor is complete stock...
