Scorchsta's Turbo Build

[Scorchsta]

Well I figured I would post up some pictures and info on my turbo build since I haven't posted much for a while. Turbo project has been in the works for quite some time now. I started back in September with the basics and then I've been slowly adding on stuff until now.

Parts List:

eBay T3/T4 57 trim
Godspeed Log manifold
Tial 38mm wastegate
custom downpipe
custom intercooler piping
small intercooler of unknown brand
Y8 intake manifold
DSM 450's
XS BOV
Greddy Catch-can
ARP Headstuds


On the electronics side of things I have:

AVC-R Boost controller
OBD1 P28 ECU with harness
Crome Pro running GOLD
Ostrich 2.0
Hulog datalogger
Innovate Wideband with XC-16 guage

I just got done installing the wideband a few days ago and man is it awesome. To my amazement, my map was pretty close to what it should be. There were only a few spots that were rich and almost none that were lean. For those of you that have gold but don't have the dealer version I know a trick to saving the bin

Onto the crappy pics from the start and to now.

The Install:

The Inside:

(yes I know my interior is dirty. i cleaned it right after i saw this picture on my computer)

(wires anyone?)

I also installed an ASR Subframe Brace with 22mm Sway and Blox control arms not too long ago but no pics of those yet.

Questions or comments or suggestions are welcome.

Oh and I know my engine bay is ridiculously dirty.

Update:

I got some new parts in for my engine build.

These are thanks to whtcivic93

That mani isnt ac compatible? not that it matters with your location, just wondering..

 

[Scorchsta]

I took mine out just because it wasn't working anyways. If I were to have a smaller turbo and turned it around I think that you could run A/C with it. It would be tight but I think it's possible.

Haha you know it! Cherry coke ftw! It's at 11psi or so right now (0.75 bar) and when I get my 4bar map sensor wired up among some other goodies that will go up

Haha, I love your light source. Hows the eBay turbo holding up? Where you at in NY, anyways?

Haha yea it's a detached garage so we have to make due somehow. Turbo is holding up surprising well. It's been about 5000k miles so far and still going strong! I'm in Rochester, NY.

 

[xxsenceo89x]

is it built? what else is goin in?

 

[Scorchsta]

It has ARP headstuds but that's it for now. Vitaras and either TunerToy or Eagle rods and some crower valve springs.

 

[BillyB98]

turbo y7 huh? sweet stuff. How much would you say you have stuck into the turbo setup all together?

 

[Scorchsta]

The mechanical stuff was about $1000 with everything together totaling under $2000.

 

[blackej7]
