Ultimate budget build.

[Danny]

I put on a new clamp and put a layer of electrical tape on the outside of the pipe, so it grabs a little better, no problems now.

[E30nate]

i knew you would have trouble with those pipes. you need some with beads around the edges. you can try getting some t-bolt clamps, they usually hold better

[Danny]

Cool.

I keep having trouble with the first charge pipe popping off that 90 deg silicone house.

Bypass valve is holding up well though.

danny, this has inspired me. we are going to do another turbo asap. i just need to get a job, but it is happening.

[Danny]

Haha, Thanks buddy ;)

Looking great Danny, watch out for deer now. They will have a faster closing rate!!!

[Danny]

I'll get pictures for everybody once I dial in the oil lines and everything else, I'd hate to lead people astray.

Nice, I must say I wish I could build a budget turbo for my eta just to get a little extra out of it. Congrats.

[Shaheenem]

Thats good to know, thanks buddy.

Oh and if anyone wants pictures of anything for reference, lemme know and I'll take some.

That would be great. Im doing something similar and could use all the help i can get.

Any pics of the adapter on the manifold to lift the turbo, oil feed and return lines, BOV placement, and rrfpr connections.

Once again, congrats Danny! And all this in such a short space of time.

this car definately doesnt pull like an m42 should, it pulls pretty hard for only being at 5-6 psi. theres still a little work to be done, but i dont think danny will have any problems with it, as long as he doesnt go too crazy with the boost. i must say though, it wasnt as easy as he was hoping for.

i would say its putting down anywhere from 140-160 right now. it is definately faster than my 318, and mine dynoed at 128 whp.

[Danny]

Oh and Sam/Nando, we took your advice and tapped into the oil pan, so don't be worried about the drain.

I want to know! ^

Kronus that was the first car to go during dyno day right? I think that was the only m42 there. I'm thinking Danny will be pulling somewhere from 140-180 at the crank.

Yeah, it was.

Damn. Not bad... for your reference, an M42 i saw dyno'd put down around 118 to the crank stock.
