Need a Turbo Patron

[TS87325IS]

i wish I had a watercooled turbo , I would definatly use it , my shit gets so hot , it will evaporate rain off the hood above the turbo , lol.

^ I remember, every time we pulled you had hood up...

I don't believe in wasted features... Besides, because of coolant passages, doesn't that mean there's smaller oil capacity in the turbo? I want it to run at it's optimum.


There was good point about coolant not getting anywhere close in temos compared to turbine. I'll probably bypass throttle in favor of turbo. Does anyone have detailed coolant flow diagram? If I do that, I'd like to know much coolant and the best way to dump it. I got MSII ordered and IC piping is also on the way. I need clutch and engine gasket sets now... It's going to be a little while though.

I mounted turbo and looking for all little things that eventually will be a big deal. I'd like to sort out downpipe and all sensors off the car.

Watercooled center will not solve any of that.

[Aptyp]

it may not solve it entirely, but it should help some... right? otherwise Garrett would stop making water cooled turbos.

So....any updates?

[Aptyp]

I have a lot of decisions to make by December and there's a high chance that wherever I go, turbo vehicle may not be going with me, so I'm putting this entire project on hold.

If I stay put in NC with a job and grad school, I'll be able to carry on. If I get to move, then I'll clean out my parts stock, and restart project in a few years. Tough call as of right now.

[Aptyp]

but on the positive side, I will plug in my built motor in and run it with a WAR chip. Whether I decide to turbo or not, it seems like a smart move.

[TS87325IS]

you should have went for a ride with me in the mountains , it would have probably helped you decide , lol. definatly next time though , i insist. I am going to miss the fall rally , but make the summer one , so see you there.

[yberther]

Sad to hear but things come up.

Good luck, and let us know how the WAR chip works out.

[Aptyp]

well an update...


I got a free m50 NV today out of a running car. SO, the master plan is as follows: I will install all turbo parts on my car and let the stock E-engine do it's thing until it blows. Then I'll plug in m50 over that same weekend and carry on.

No engine management required, and I am gonna tune it through FPR and that's just about it. Hopefully it lasts just long enough, hehe.

mine is still kicking around like that , but 8 lbs is about the limit with no chip art , starts to preasurize the coolant a bit at 9 psi , but runs well otherwise.

[Aptyp]

i'll be selling all my turbo parts very shortly. This project is officially over, because I have only a month of freedom left.

[TS87325IS]

what all do you have art? I may be interested in some bits
