Actually the bar was unattached to make room for the intake hoses, It is just wedged in there for now, I haven't gotten to all of the little things yet, slowly but surely I will get there. I am also going to remake the crossover pipe for the turbo this one was a test fit I could use a little more room for the Flowmaster muffler which by the way is a little loud for me but sounds awesome.

Thats the problem with the turbo at the rear of the car - getting the oil back to the engine. The oil needs to drain out of the turbo by gravity and not get backed up in there - The turbo book I have reckons that oil coming out of turbos is closer to mayonaise than oil - since it has been whipped up at speeds approaching 100,000rpm. Apparently it takes a while for the oil to settle out again which is why thegravity feed. It is okay to use a scavenger pump to send the oil back, but you want the input to that pump to be gravity fed from the turbo.

I agree what are you doing about oil return? Nice wastegate, I am running one of those on my Honda. What turbo are you running? Did you just modify 914-6 heat exchangers or did you do some custom headers?

I am using a Tilton oil pump to pump the oil out of the turbo, I am in the process of making a little sump for the oil to collect into after it drains out of the turbo. I am pumping it back into the oil tank breather hose, spent this morning cleaning up a mess and replacing the breather gasket which was leaking all over the place. The pump seems to be working fine right now without the sump but I haven't logged many miles yet.
My turbo and intake plumbing came from a BAE turbo kit for an SC which uses a Rayjay To4b Turbo charger. I am running an MSD BTM boost retard ignition, and am using a fuel enrichment injector that opens on 4lbs of boost to make sure theres no pre-detonation by going to lean. |

The cost is very reasonable:
Used bae turbo kit 1500 ( can be had for less but are hard to find bought mine from a guy in Hawaii) Rebuild turbo 450 Tial Bov 220 Tial 38mm Wastegate 220 Turbo x boost controller 80 MSD BTM ignition 350 911 SC CSV injector with fuel line 130 Hobbs NO 4lbs pressure switch 30 Assorted flanges, gaskets and SS pipe for crossover pipe 120 Silicone intake and vacuum hoses and elbows 120 Tilton oil pump 200 Assorted fittings and hoses 80 Westberg A/r gauge 40 VDO boost gauge and line 60 Flow master muffler 140 Total = 3750 I will be able to reclaim a few hundred dollars by selling a few parts I no longer need so all in all not to bad . About 31 dollars per horsepower gain. I figure I am at 300 hp at 7 or 8lbs of boost. I will experiment with boost pressures to see what I can get away with, and if I add an 8th injector and intercooler 10lbs or more possible. that would push the engine I assume to 350 or more horsepower. |

Too cool, I'm working on a similar project. are you using a stock 3.0, or have you changed comp. ratio, cams, etc? my set-up is very similar to yours, but should have to run through the trunk.

As far as I know the engine is a stock 79 3.0, it was rebuilt 40,000 miles ago when it had 104,000 miles on it in 98, I do know that the cams were replaced along with a lot of other stuff, unfortunately the guy I purchased the engine from had a bad car accident and I have not been able to get the paper work on the rebuild. I was lucky because it seems to be a very good running engine.
I followed a thread on the pelican board about turbo sc conversions and used that with the help of those board members, and sammyg. I am using 944 turbo phone dial wheels 7's and 8's x 16's 225 50 16 Yokohama es100's front, 245 45 16 rears with 3/4" spacers front and rear with plenty of room. |

I have a few test drives under my belt and the engine is very comfortable running 9 - 10lbs of boost. The tranny seems ok with it also, I had the boost controller hooked up wrong on those first test drives and was showing over 15lbs of boost at times, amazingly nothing blew up .I now know why I was blown away by the performance. The car is still very exciting at 9lbs and all the gauges read very good A/R 12.5 on boost, MSD BTM at 1.5 retard. Had to re-route the oil scavange drain lower as oil was blowing out the exhaust which seems to be remendied now. I still have the short gear tranny in with the Quaffe lsd until I get some time to swap out the gear clusters. So as for now, I will run it as is and start to enjoy this endevor.
Next the paint job. |
