my kit is ALMOST done...

[Brian MP5T]

Look at the upper radiator hose. follow it to the block. you'll see a 3/8" or so hose coming up out of that aluminum block. that goes to the TB. remove that and then just go from there to the turbo and back to that hose. Very easy.

I'd take some pics for you but the dig is down right now. The dog chewed up the memory card.

This will work and it's where the MSP and many kits such as High Boost etc take the coolant form. Think about this though, that point is where the coolant is it's hottest. It's just after the coolant passes through the block.

I designed an independant turbo cooler fed by a new inline fuel pump, oil cooler and an aluminium coolant catch can. The coolant leaves the car and passes thorugh the oil cooler (Turbo Cooler) on the A/C condenser, then through the pump, through the turbo and back into the catch can. The system is run off a relay hooked to the ignition. Even on the TT it runs, then shuts off with the car. The theory is that my coolant is much colder than the coolant leaving the engine, so it will cool the turbo much better. Also, it kept the engine cooling system simpler when I was building it 2 summers ago. It has worked extreemly well for the past two years!​

interesting... what did you do about the egr pipe? i'm probably just going to leave it open... but that will throw a cel...
-pedro

I plugged it with a large bolt. No CEL (Yet)

 

[Brian MP5T]

another question... what did you do about the temperature sensor that (on the stock intake) is next to the maf?
-pedro

Mine is simply plugged into the end cap of the K&N with the same stock rubber busshing that is in the stock airbox.

 

[accuser]

ok i'll find somewhere to plug this darn sensor in...

and as for the coolant lines... i don't have enough hardware right now to install them... but it is something i will be doing in a few days... right now i'm more concerned about getting my freaking car running... i'm abotu to leave work in an hour or so... hopefully i will pull out that broken bolt... hook it all back up... and start the freaking thing

i guess it's good that the bolt broke... gives me a second chance to make sure everything is ok...

hey, what would be a good way to check if my oil pan is leaking (asside from putting it on the car and putting oil in the motor) i'm not too sure if my freind and i did a good welding job.

The Attachment on the top of the Wastegete...What do you plan to hook it to?

 

[Brian MP5T]

Yes, I am Very Aware of the TIAL diagram (I have a 35mm TIAL). However, you must look at your Boost controller diagram. The TIAL diagram is misleading, it is not how it is usually hooked up.

Ok, I would like to give you a word, please don't take this the wrong way, Do Not Rush A Turbo Install.

A new motor will cost you and if the turbo has been slammed together quickly, it can either break the turbo, blow the motor or pre-mature wear on some of the parts. Take it easy, it seems that you have spent alot of bread on this, why cheap out now and ruin it all.

Mine is in the fender to make the ECU think it's colder and give more fuel. Here is a pic that Linux Racr took of where his is. Mine is on the side of where his is just down a little. There is a hole already there that it fits in nicely and you will not need to extend the wires either. The yellow arrow!

That's a great idea!

I didn't need more fuel so I just fed it in the intake.

You can always use more fuel, you will just need to trim back the xtra injectors.(you have them don't you?)

 

[Matthew]

i just want to mention i have a mpi tuner without the turbo module for only 300 shipped. you cant beat that price, and all you would need is a turbo module to get it working.

Yes, The car ran super-sweet the way it was. I'm going to stick with what worked and rebuild it with better internals this time.

I'm shooting for 13.0 or better.

 

[accuser]

what would the turbo module do? controll boost?

i have a boost controller that i would use... then i would just use the mpi to controll fuel

let me know... because if that is the case i am definately interested

Boost Controller Either Electric or manual is a device that sits in line of the wastegate vac/boost line and creates a very controlled air leak in the line, making the wastegate stay closed longer...More Boost. (It is not normally possible to lower the boost lower than when the spring would normally open, only increase the boost from the normal setting).

MPI lets the user controll all aspects of the Fuel, Timing Etc...

 

[accuser]

so what does the turbo module do?

-pedro

(by the way... i'm still struggling with that bolt...)
it's the top left hand side bold on the exhaust manifold... (so it's hard to get to) and tips are appreciated.

Turbo Mod... On a stock car that comes with a turbocharger, it's a device that lets the wastegate stay closed longer...More Boost.

Vice grips and take off anything that would let you get to it easier.

 

[Brian MP5T]

Also, oil it 30 Min before with WD-40 or Penetrating Oil...

 

[accuser]

what about easy out...

do you think it's worth trying...
i've used them before and tehy've broken on me

gonna try the wd 40 ... it's jsut hard to get a grip on the damn thing cause their isn't much exposed

-pedro

Also, oil it 30 Min before with WD-40 or Penetrating Oil...

 

[mazda2002]

1800$ for a full kit is impressive. Can you make a list of what those parts are?

Good luck with that bolt.

 

[Brian MP5T]

^^^ Agreed, More details please!
