Blueprotegelx Turbo Build

oil return line:

your oil return is routed horribly. the line is too long. you want the straightest shot to the oil pan so the line is verticle the whole time and does not go any lower than the bung on the oil pan. and the bung looks pretty low. it should be as high as possible

i think u may have solved my problem. when hooking them up i was thinking they pushed air against the radiator. i'm an idiot, it makes perfect sense if the car is going forward the fans would help pull air through the fans, idiot!

yeah i installed them that way for going in reverse. lol. i'll switch wiring in morning! I'm cussing at myself right at the moment!

lol thats gonna be your problem right there...i had a friend that did the exact thing on his truck, and i fixed it for him last week

the bung is almost to the top of the oil pan (dunno) if it went vertical, it would be touching the downpipe

Here's a pic: so the fans need to be pulling air and not pushing against radiator the way i have it at the current moment.

stock turbo cars return the oil above the oil pan for a reason. i cut the lip on my pan so i could fit the bung slightly off the inside edge of the pan. not where i wanted it cuz i wanted to drill and tap the support plate, but i only had 4 days to do my install. and i wasn't 100% about tapping the support plate

its hard to tell in the pic but it looks like the horizontal part is pretty extreme. you can afford to slack it up. you can make a bracket to keep it off the DP if need be.

make sure the blades are facing the proper way. i have Hayden fans, which come setup as a pusher, so you need to flip the blades as well as reverse the wiring

edit just looked at the pic. those look like hayden fans. if so the blades need to be flipped and wiring reversed. why are u usin zipties? wheres the mounting hardware? you want the fans to "seal" against the radiator or it won't be as efficient. i'm running 2 10" hayden fans and have zero cooling problems in 90+ degree weather

usually the blades are already on the correct way to be set up as a puller

those are hayden fans. i'll reverse wiring in morning. the two zip ties was b/c i was at a restaurant and just curious which way they were blowing and then zip tied them back real quick. in morning i'll make a better seal...

i did't read the whole post but i'm assuming your fans are in front of the radiator and pushing. if they are behind they should not be blowing air onto the radiator, but pulling air though it.

the turkey is compressor surge. your BOV isn't opening all the way. if the source isn't good then it won't have the response... does your vac gauge read any vac at all or jut sit at 0?

Like I said, when I put vac hose on the entire face of gauge moved and now needle sits at like ten on vac side. Tomo I'm gonna try and adjust fitting hose cnnected to til needle sits at 0.

If vac was to read 0, but shows boost what does that mean?

just exchanged wiring on the fans. i have to go with my g/f and her dad to do some errands and then when i get back heading to a buddies. so we'll see on the drive out there whether it works or not

Night pics:

Interior shot with new gauges and dave b rings install:

Vacuum block: Red hose-bov, middle hose-wastegate, last hose goes to boost gauge

Oil Adapter plate, oil pressure sensor, oil feed location: Oil on adapter is not a current leak. This is from when I found that there was not a plug in the t fitting therefore oil sprayed out. After seeing this happening immediately instead of using the tfitting I removed it and ran the oil feed line directly to oil adapter.

MAF & BOV:

turkey may be because the bov and maf are so close together

Thought about it! I'll move maf to intake and see what that does

 

[J_Naoto]

why does your boost gauge read -15 when the car isnt on??

 

[JCell]

it probably got stuck there when the power was cut....

 

[justanothermp5]

or it might be the gauge, sunpro isnt really a highend brand...

 

[mp3-79bronco]

its most likely not a electronic gauge...so the guage is probably ****** up

(lol)

trust me, hayden fans come set up in a pusher configuation

blueprotegelx, did you flip the blades as well? they should be spinning so the inside of the half moon, this side-> ) is the leading edge. i believe it should face left at the top of the fan looking backwards at it from the engine side of the fan, and it should spin counter clockwise.

get better gauges. i have Stri gauges, very good. and easy to wire up. they run about $130 each
