Alright, guys so here I am after a year or so of collecting parts I'm almost done with my build. I have done a lot of research and am doing my best to search forums to find the correct info but if you guys could help me fill in the gaps I would appreciate it.
GT35 Turbo:
- 4" Air Inlet, 2.5" Compressed Air Outlet
- Oil and Water Cooled
- .70 A/R Compressor, .63 A/R Turbine
List of Questions:
I have one more question. I set my timing to 0 on tuner studios and checked it with a timing light(only can see the cam gear).... it still was 1.5 teeth off about. How do I edit that in tuner studios so my ecu is reading the correct timing?
Answered
1. My 45mm wastegate spring is 15lbs and my blow off valve spring feel like half that. How do I measure my spring rate and if I want to run around 8-10 psi am I okay to rely on my diverter valve with such a strong spring on my wastegate?
2. I bought a cx racing oil sandwich, running my oil feed line from that sandwich the top of my turbo, do I run the line from either inlet on the sandwich, there are 2(my return line just going to the oil pan).
example: https://www.cxracing.com/OIL-SW1?search=oil%20sandwich
3. Do I just run breather hose from the back of my valve cover into the intake with a catch can? ill plug the throttle body where it originally would hook up to. Do I need to worry about any other breather hoses under boost blowing my gaskets? is my brake booster okay under boost?
4. Fuel and fuel regulator, both are stock, what power figures will they be okay with before I need to upgrade? Can i just add another inline pump on the line and keep my oem pump in the tank?
5. Has anyone used these wide bands? Megasquirt seems to have preset options in the ecu, should I just get one of those listed? this just seems like a good deal.
Also, I have an undiagnosed draw and have been unplugging the battery alot, do i need to recalibrate the wideband every time that happens?
I know this is a lot to drop on the forums and I appreciate all you guys so much. Been living on here... girlfriends pissed.
I've been an Audi guy forever and this project is by far the deepest I've gone. Done a lot of 1.8t and 2.0t turbo nonsense, but starting from scratch on a turbo build has proven to be quite the journey. If I was going to do it again I would have just done itb's an called it a day lol.
thanks again!
