RE: TURBO PROJECT ON MY 54
 

cbrclassic thanx for getting the pic in this post, i tried to figure it out but failed.my concerns on making it were 1. bolt down on TB's 2. not getting pushed down and move when i bolt down the tank.

where did you get the turbo mani? also how is the flow on the home made air box?

im making a manifold, and i am thinking about using a 2.25" charge pipe which should give me a decent air flow.. will post the pic in couple of days once i make that manifold.

hey guys, been little busy at work but today i had sometime on my hands so decided to go to my buddies shop and see if i can design something, so here is what i came up so far. i still cant get the pic up in here so click on the link's below.

im confused by the mani... no equal lenght or mini ramhorn? also what steel are you using?

i think length will not gona matter since its going to be welded into a single flange which will bolt rite on to the turbo. i am using a 1.50" exhaust tubing i think it is a 12 guage. which can be bought from exhaust repair shop, lucky me my buddy had it in his shop which i just took. i am not a professional turbo guy i am designing this for the first timein my life tried askin JHSWAIN some question but no reply. so any advise to make it better will be appreciated.

well i made a thread for turbo questions. i would most certainly make it equal length, you will get a better for even flow into the turbine thus making boost ALOT faster at lower RPMS. You also might run into problems with that metal. Most fabricators used sch10 steal for turbo manifold to reduce the risk of cracks because the shear weight of the turbo, wastegate, and downpipe. any questions just post in the thread i made and i will help out to the best my knowledge.

Am back
 

hey guys i was out of town for few weeks and left the project as it was and now that the riding season is around the corner here in chicago wana finish the project and enjoy it, finaly got some time to put it together over the weekend and it fired rite up but with some flow and that is my 16g brand new turbo spitting oil on for first few minutes and then it goes away(turn it off restart spits oil) where am i going wrong with it? also i am little confused about my ICT sensor that i used to have on my airbox should i drill a hole in my plenum and mount it or leave it alone? any advise at this point would be great..... and thanx in advance
