well i got bored and had some spare cash so i decided to Turbo the daily.
d15b7 w/ a6 camshaft
stock engine otherwise. 240k miles. 10k miles on the rebuild.
mhi 13g Turbo with volvo 13g compressor housing all welded together lol.

quick question though. what kind of pressure lose would 5 foot of 3an cause? oil pressure before Turbo was 8-10 warm idle now 3-7. 40 psi at 3k now 35ish.

 

[v8killaz]

wait is that turbo welded to the manifold

 

[DreaMer]

Yup

oh i took off the elbow of the Wastegate also.
welded the manifold to the turbine housing using a 90amp stick welder. been holding up for a week.

 

[wakkjobb]

Yup.

Uh.......... ????

You gonna IC this beast?

 

[DreaMer]

yeah. it's got a blacked out fmic. all nice and sleeper like.

 

[Sentry]

I love it.

Dirty, gettin the job done.

How much power you going for? I think a good 160-180whp would be great for a daily. Be enough for close to 100mph in the quarter. Not too fast, but fast enough to keep you interested.

 

[xile6]

I just dont know what to say.
How does she run?

yeah shooting for 180ish. runs great. i just need to get my 02 bung in so i can do some tuning. only running 4psi for now. once i get the bung in there I'll turn it up to 10 and leave it.

Awesome....

 

[DreaMer]

lol. i still can't believe it but my mileage went up 3mpg and I've been ripping on it all week. 33mpg on e85. sweet

 

[DreaMer]

mpg's about to go up... lower ethanol content. 3-4k miles on ethanol so far. think my injectors are flowing completely different rates...

 

[b16racereg6]

Tune That SLUT

 

[snailslow]

turbo is gonna fall off with those welds!

 

[XxTACTIKZxX]

Same here comment loading........ Think I found the words now good job with keeping the ac and is it on a good base map? Stock injectors right now?

 

[4eyedconekiller]

that would be the perfect sleeper... I agree on teh welds - I might look into touching those up if I could.

If it runs, and you can get it tuned, it would be a blast, regardless of what direction you decide to go.

I approve

 

[DreaMer]

it's tuned. welds have been holding up for 3 weeks. i finally got a air filter on the thing. just been rocking a screen mesh for a couple weeks.

dsm 450 injectors. need to get them flow tested.

 

[Boostincx]

What happened to your exhaust studs for the #3 runner?
Isn't that a oil/water cooled turbo? I don't see any water lines...

Otherwise its a pretty cool little hmt setup, as long as you used dryer duct for the charge pipes of course :tt2:

 

[DreaMer]

didn't go that ghetto. old aluminum pipes from previous turbo setups. yeah it's water cooled I've just been to cheap to get fitting for it
