Well officially boosting with the new turbo, but still getting oil past the seals at high revs. Tomorrow I'll install the oil restrictor-valve, and if that doesn't fix it, then the turbo might be the problem again.

One step closer

Anyways here is a video of the first time i started her up:

Exciting stuff, wish you luck with the oil leak. Will keep an eye out for more videos to come.

 

Nice. My neck hurts now, but nice. You'll be needing to address traction soon.

 

Woot, congrats sir.

Your going to have to make a burn out vid better than blown.

 

Highly doubtful it's the turbo. Either a return problem or it needs a restrictor. Have you verified the pump is working?

 

Yeah I hear the pump working. Im going to install the restrictor on monday. I feel confident that will solve my problem.

As far as tuning im going to bite the bullet and get a full standalone. I have a buddy that can street tune it for me so I can get it fine tuned at a local dyno.

Wingman i dont know about better than blown but surely faster than that new Nissan he is driiving around

 

Standalone is the only way to go. Megasquirt II is very powerful and very inexpensive. Taking over fuel is easy and there's a number of ways to tackle spark.

 

badass, looks weird mounted under the truck. u going to get any kind of plate mounted to protect it?

 

Megasquirt is also very complicated. Im thinking AEMs EMS 8860 altought not too exited about the price.


gjmoran the intake is routed higher up where it doesnt see water. A litte water splashing the turbo should be fine as long as is not submerged completely but i dont really offroad. I suppose i could fabricate a case for it later on.

 

Not really, had mine installed and running in about 3 hours (Fuel only).
