Ultimate budget build.

[Danny]

I agree with you, and once I have some cash I will.

I'm happy with this for now though.

Its not bad for under a grand.

[Danny]

Ok so my turbo's oil seals are fucked.

Anyone know where I can find the seals?

The turbo is a Tc05-12a.

[Danny]

So I'm leaning out under boost at around 4500 in second gear.

Looks like I need to turn up the RRFPR

Hmm...

Search the page for "12a" it will be a td05 rebuild kit.

[Danny]

So because I has no money for bigger injectors, I'm turning down the boost a little :(

To about 6 psi.

What were you at before? Are you on stock internals? OEM head gasket ect?

[Danny]

Yeah everything is stock.

I was at 7psi but I'll be at about 5.5-6 now so that I don't lean out under boost.

Sweet, thanks. I want to turbo my m42 now.

[Danny]

Well I went to Sac and back the other day with no issues other than burning a mess of oil.

But that will be solved soon with fittings I have coming.

It isn't amazingly fast, but its faster than it was before and it has the potential to be faster.

[e30nub]

Oh yeah, get better videos ASAP!

[E30nate]

go to pick n pull and get some turbo volvo injectors. theyre like 23lb/hr or something like that. my buddys running them in his m20 with no issues.

[SamE30e]

5.0L mustang ones could work, but since you have no way to control them you might be going rich off boost.

[Danny]

I'm ok with rich off boost.

I'm not ok with lean in boost.

[nando]

what size are stock M42 injectors?

neither 19 or 23 # are going to realistically be big enough (I think 19# is the stock size?), although you can get around that somewhat with fuel pressure, to a point. I'd be looking for some 32# injectors if you want some reliability and breathing room. realistically what you need is standalone EMS but you already know that. :p

[Danny]

They're 19 lbs.

How big are pinktops from an s52?

I have a line on some cheap ones.
