Turbo Progress Thread !

[prodigymb]

over the weekend. her is what i got done:

-manifold is on
-T25 turbo is on (might cut the 90 degree elbow tho)
-fmic is mounted, yet no piping
-oilpan is getting a fittin welded into it

some things i ran into:

i have an oil kit from homemadeturbo.com
which comes witha a brass fitting which cant be just welded to the oilpan.
also thereturn hose just doest look long enough, is it?
3rd is the :where do i plug the oil feed line?

1 - if u wield it ur gonna waste ur oil pan , drill a hole so the fitting can be screwed in it then use jb weld to seal it.

2 - dont worry if its steath's kit it is...

3 - the oil feed kit use the tuner toys piece u sould have in the kit , u unscrew the oil pressure sensor ( located over the oil filter behind the block ) , screw the tuner toy in and screw the sensor in the top fitting , turbo oil feed on the side. also if u did not buy a oil restrictor i would advise u to do so , it really helps.

I am going to drill the oil pan now and do it how you said with JB Weld. I was just curious, why not weld it?

[TÜNE.FREE]

will distort the metal and i dont know why else?? why would it.. i see em welded all the time..

[MRX]

if you can find a stainless steel fitting of some sort then use one of those and weld it. I've been able to find the perfect part at Lowe's a couple of times. Its just an 1.5" long stainless steel tube that you'll find with the nuts and bolts. Either way is good tho just make sure its sealed

[prodigymb]

yeah i got it at lowes but then just decide to jb weld it ! gonna go put in the oil feed line now !

[prodigymb]

stuff done today

-oilpan is done
-drain line attached to oiplan and turbo
-new oilpan seal
-cut the retarded t25 elbow off so it clears my slave cylinder and doesnt send piiping the way i dont want it to go

Downpipe and exhaust were made but turbo is just free spooling tight now due to plumbing issues witht the t25 turbo.

I know how that is. My turbo has been doing that for awhile. It's kinda a pain....still waiting on my parts to fix it...

use exhaust piping if needed for charge pipes for right now, that is my specialty being that there is a muffler shop just down the alley from my garage! Its scrap metal bin comes in wonders!

[prodigymb]

the ppl who did my exhaust were gonna do my charge piping too but then they bitched out because its "way to difficult" with the way trubo sits and my fmic. but oh well ill find another shop to do it . Car sound SICK with 2.5 inch exhaust with no rstrictions and trubo spool is sooo loud. ill make sound clips of the exhaust they made me!
