Boosted Performance single turbo build

wheee!

I think Sasha has already made it clear that the AT has clearance issues with the oil pan etc that make it impractical to try and develop a mid mount turbo in automatics. It MAY be possible with some major modifications, but then it would no longer be what it is: a mid mount performance turbo with minimal flow disruption... sorry guys.

Bit of an update...not so exciding but I think you guys will take anything.. :lol:

All the oil stuff is done, oil cooler is installed for good, as is the scavenge pump. Turbo oil fed line is also complete, so the front bumper is close to going back on. I have to do a bit of intercooler pipe work first thing in the morning, so that I have a set of charge pipe (engine bay) to keep with me.

On to the pictures:

Spacer with oil return port:




Getting the OE pan off, you got to use a hammer on this:




Aaaaan off:




RTV on:




Oil cooler with hardware before assembly:




Both FMIC brackets welded solid and bolted on:





Oil pressure sensor with hardware/adapter for turbo oil feed:









Scavenge pump with hardware ready for assembly:




A few oil lines under there:




Final install shot of the pump with all hoses in place, tied up




As you can see nothing is left to chance, all of this is top quality, built for performance and durablity.

Forgot to get spark plugs. Quick search shows that HKS part number: 50003-M40HL is popular. I don't think I will find these localy, any other part numbers? I understand that thay need to be set to about .035. Is there an NGK part number available?

Staples

DILKAR7B11 - Those are for NGK Iridium Plugs. They MSRP about $20 - $22 a piece.

I think these are stock plugs, correct? I would need one step colder.

Staples

Ahh most people just run the stock plugs, but you're right they're not one step colder.

That explains the lack of info. when I did a search. Only about 6 threads came up while searching "spark plugs".

I guess the OEM's are fine then if most people run them. I would assume that one step colder plugs are used for big builds, with upgraded rods/pistons.

I kinda skimmed through some of the thread and missed the clearance issue for the AT. The work looks amazing though! Keep the pictures coming.

My STS kit came with plugs and you know I dont know if they were colder or not I'll have to check

BlkNismo

Any option to have cold side pipes powdercoated in black?

wheee!

and cover up those amazing welds?????

More stealthy even though the core would be obvious lurking in the bumber to any enthusiast.

That can be coated as well...personally the route I'd go as well. Stealthy

Yesterday was fuel day. Got the OEM plenum off (very easy to do) and removed the fuel rails (also very easy task).

OEM fuel rails/injectors ready for the new 750cc injectors with pigtails:



A few minutes later, old injectors out and new ones in:



With the plenum off, it was a good time to add two ports to it. One will be for the waste gates, and the other will be used on the BOV's. Removing the TB is a must, because there will be a good amount of plastic on the inside to clean up form drilling/taping. The TB is also very easy to remove, just 4 allen head bolts and it is off.



The oil lines to the turbo, viewed from the passenger side wheel well. (wheel removed):



Then it was time to start putting things together for the final time...first pipe going to the turbo:



Then #2 goes in:



Followed by #3, inserted from the other side (header):



Clamps are on, ready for the turbo to go in:



With all the IC piping done under the car, it was time to move up top:







Driver side:



Passenger side:





All done:




Things to do:

-Plug'n play wire harness/relay for the scavenge pump (evening project)
-Fuel pump install (possibly today)
-Waste gate pluming/recirculation (x2 for the kit that stays behind)
-Go over everything and make sure it is good

Hope to get a base map for the 750cc injectors and UpRev soon, and then we start her up.
