Swaps, Turbos, Buildups / turbo questions

« on: February 14, 2010, 05:04:04 AM »

What sort of bearings does the turbo have? Plain bushes or ball bearings? Ball Bearings need a very small restrictor (to limit the flow) whereas plain bush turbos will most likely not need a restrictor (but some do, just bigger than the ball bearing one).

Specifically I would ask the turbo supplier/manufacturer what size restrictor they recommend.

I have a Garrett Ball Bearing turbo and bought the proper sized restrictor Banjo bolt off ebay for the turbo feed. There may be something similar available for your specific turbo.

 My turbo has plain bushings but im goin getting a ball bearing one now. Ok thanks ill look that up and see what i find out.

A tee piece where the oil pressure switch goes for the turbo feed and you need to modify the sump or timing case for a turbo drain. Remember to keep it above the oil level (timing case is best for this).

Ok Thanks. Have you any experience on the engine running too much oil pressure? Because mine has blown the seals in the turbo.:confused:

:confused:

The Mustang Green top injectors on ebay (42lbers) are affordable and should cope with anything you throw at them. But some 32lbs might do the job.

"tglaze" on this forum was making PnP megsquirt kits.

Ok thanks. Where do you pick the oil feed up from? And where do ye run the return to?:confused:

I'll be running megasquirt on mine for what that's worth. Seems suitably adaptable and I want to learn about EMS anyway.

The WAR chip is nice, but you can't tune it on the fly, which makes it a real pain.

Ok who is supplying the megasquirt?

I have fine luck with NGK plugs.

Note this is a NGK distributor not NGK's web page. Lots of good information.

I would recommend either a full standalone (any would really do, just depends who can tune what) or a custom burnt chip for the standard ecu. You will need larger injectors and a slight fuel pump upgrade is preferrable. All depends how much boost your going to run really.

The spark plugs will need to be a step or two cooler also.

"tglaze" on the forums sell a Plug and Play MegaSquirt setup, this would involve the least work setup wise, but you would need to tune it yourself or find someone who can. There are a few people who could help you out with base maps for the MS setup though.

Your in the right spot. Have a poke around the build threads and see what the rest of us are doing

I was thinking of running around 10psi of boost until i can save up enough money to buy pistons. What make of plug do you use as i cant find anyone Over here that can supply cooler plugs? also what make pump would you reccomend? Thanks for help so far.
