Turbo Build !!!

[ej1boy95]

ok i will get some pics tomorrow. but what is the exducer ?

[dallasb84]

turbine

[ej1boy95]

so it would be blowing oil through the piping and into the motor ?

[ej1boy95]

ok well im posting up some pics. from installing the turbo. sorry it has taken so long to get them up and its not a lot of pics. i havent got up under the car yet to look at the situation i got because its been below 30 degrees with like 9 degree wind chill everyday. hopefully i will get to look at it tomorrow.

the oil feed/drain set up isnt in the best spot, esp. with the feed resting on top of the mani. Pull off the pipes that clamps right on the turbo and see if there is oil in them.

[dallasb84]

yeah your turbo should not be at an angle... you need to get a 45* an fitting to get that line off the manifold..... i bet its melted

post a pic of the drain line.....

i think that might be your issue..... the oil feed and drain

so yall think that since the turbo is at an angle the oil isnt draining properly and oil is sitting in the turbo.

[scttydb411]

you melted through the feed line inside the braided sleeve more than likely. angle isn't too bad as long as the drain is a good diameter and no low spots in it. if you can straighten it out more it won't hurt, but the angle isn't likely the issue.

yup u and shawn are right. i looked at the feed line and theres rubber goozing out of the braided steel. so im going to the parker store tomorrow to get a new one made with a 90 degree elbow on it.

When joey told me you were goin turbo. I said "Nooooooooooo!!!!!" You know how rare the Jackson Racing S/C is??? Plus it was clean like it was. G/l with the oil leak though.

This car was in its prime in 2000....u have no idea how cool this car WAS. Cleanest one on the road. I was really upset to hear about the change as well

ight might not have the supercharger anymore. but it is still the coolest and cleanest. lol

[CaTcH22]

If theres oil all over the manifold, its prolly just the feed line is loose or burnt through. You cant get oil that high up from a blown turbo seal, just oil out of the exhaust

You can gladly buy it back.

haha. nah man im good. all the trouble i went through. im keeping the turbo.

yea a lot of ppl hate that i took it off. but i guess the SC just wasnt me. ever since i was like 10 ( when i started to get into cars ) ive always wanted a turbo so thats what im doingg. lol sorry everyone

[-S Double C-]

without a doubt that oil feed line is fucked being right on that manifold like that

[dallasb84]

make sure you get it a foot or two longer so you can get it out of the way.....

moar is better

[tdurr]

he shouldnt need it, he should be able to go around the dizzy and bring it right over the top of the turbo.

[ej1boy95]

well i got a 45 degree angle and i new hose made today. i put it all on and i havent seen any leaks. everything looks good so far. now the only problemi have is relocating the return line. cause my stupid self didnt measure were i need to put it before i started to drill. so the fitting on the oil pan is right in front of the downpipe and the return line is wrapped around the downpipe. i put 3 layers of heat wrap around it till i can get a new oil pan and do it right.

[tdurr]

lol 3 layers should do u right. d series right?

[ej1boy95]

lol 3 layers should do u right. d series right?

yea its a d series

[jojeezek]

good luck with the build. i'm building a d16 turbo too.

[ej1boy95]

does anyone know a really good way to tap an oil pan. or good fittings so that i willl have a good seal

[dallasb84]

yes....

you should weld it on..... or have it welded on...

get a steel an fitting....

weld it on..... then with oil still in the pan drill it out.....

the oil on the back side with flush the chips out..... ive done about 6 oil pans like this with no problems....

one time i burned a small pin hole throught the pan tho...... i had to wait for the oil to drain at that point.... it sucked.

[dallasb84]

they make "bulkhead" an fittings too..... they work but you gotta drop the pan...


look for a tapped pan

[tdurr]

I just got another oil drain and bolted it on to my oil pan. lol works great and i can block if i ever get rid of my boost.

[ej1boy95]

yea right now i have my fitting bolted on. but it makes me paranoid everytime i drive it, cause i think oil is going to leak out and im going to lock up my motor. lol but getting it welded sounds like a good idea, ill think about that one.

[tdurr]

meh, locktight/super glue on the bolt and ur straight. I used some lock washers and its held up fine since july*knock on wood*

[ej1boy95]

lol

[dallasb84]

i swear to god if you let this build thread die with no dynos or tuning snapshots..... close up pics and a completed post.....

im going to neg rep you.

[tdurr]

ill just shank him....

[ej1boy95]

ok well i dont know if you notice, but im not 100 percent done with it. when i get everything done i will post some pics.

[dallasb84]

cool ive been following your build and rootin for ya

[tdurr]

ok well i dont know if you notice, but im not 100 percent done with it. when i get everything done i will post some pics.

lol i feel ya on not being 100% done. im still not close to being done.

cool ive been following your build and rootin for ya

x2. id like to see the whole car too. everyone keeps sayin its super clean.

[ej1boy95]

well im really close to being done. the only thing i need to do is by a new oil pan or used and tap it the right way. but other than that i just need a tune and im done. i did install my turbo timer today. its one of the pen style apexi ones. anyways if i have time tomorrow i will post pics. of the whole car as it sits.

[ej1boy95]

well here lately my car hasnt been running right. idk if it is because im running a stock ecu and no tune, but when i drive my car for awhile it wants to idle at like 1500. then it acts like it has a 20lbs flywheel on it. it revs down real slow. it also backfires like a srt-4. could someone tell me why this is

[LIKEG6]

Tune, tune, tune, tune, tune.

The longer you drive it without a tune the more likely it will blow up or cause random problems.

true story. At least a basemap.
