Low-PSI Turbo BP Build: Few Questions
Posted: March 4th, 2007, 1:06 am
So i'm picking up a BRAND NEW never on a car SAAB turbo from a guy for 125 bux... Orginally bought dealer new, sold for 250, sold to my friend for 175...
It's small and is set to run 7psi factory, which is Fine by me, for now
...
Anywho... I'm not new to boost just new to boosting a BP.. I'm running the newer style bp on my b6dohc Ecu and it runs fine(NA)..
I plan on making a BP manifold at the machine shop i work at..1/2" mild steel flanges and 2"-Internal, Schedule-40(0.200" wall) pipe..
Plans are:
- Head flange machined and lapped to .001" flatness
- 3" leads to the log-body
- 3" piece with Caps on the ends for a collector
- 2" piece to bring the turbo off the manifold and keep it outa anything's way
-Turbo flange with a bellmouth hole
-I may weld some 1/2"x1/2" pieces to the body to help disappate heat and give it strength.
-For the mean-time i hope to change nothing as far as ecu goes.
-BOV i'm hoping to get ahold of by next month
-Fuel injectors should handle my level of boost
-FPR is being aquired
-I'm pming around for an AFR meter, Intercooler(though i don't think it's nessicary at this level always a good idea)
- Oil cooler I'm getting from a junkyard and Machining an Adapter plate, which will allow 25% bypass direct-to-filter. With another filter pre-cooler
-Exhaust is 2", no cat, no res and a no-name muffler..
-I'm also getting a Digital Liquid-Flow meter(i like to know how fuel efficient I'm being)
I don't think i've forgotten any of my planned upgrades. The only thing i'm trying to decide on is weather i need a MegaSquirt before i install this or not.
Any suggestions are welcome..Also looking for parts I'm going to need, from central to eastern canada only please..I hate the border charges...
