Rajicase's First Turbo Build, Ballin' On A (Nonexistent) Budget

[rajicase]

I would move the FPR over to the shock tower, but I know you put a lot of work into locating it in an inconvenient and jammed up space and are not likely to move it.

-20 percent chance of me moving it.

Today I installed a barb in the intake and hooked up the vac/boost reference for the fpr.

In 3 years we will all have TS steeds and 9180's . youll see. Once these guys starting hitting the dyno. Most of us already have our FPR's on the strut tower tho. That's just a given.

In three years I'll probably have a big v8 with twins in my m3.

Dibs on old setup if he goes V8. I just want 500whp lol

Lol you guys are killing me. You guys build your car the way you want and I'll build mine the way I want. I don't build my car to please yall; I know the mantra on bf.c is build your car to make others happy, but not gonna happen here. Also, that line does have slack in it. At least an 3/4" which is more than 5% of its length. And I'm pretty sure 110% of people here have 90° junctions in their fuel system; impossible not to at the firewall side of the rail.

Build it how you want....... obviously....... I'm just throwing out there what the recommended best practices are to educate the peeps that don't know. From the picture it looks like a straight line.

Safety third.

If there is something unsafe about my set up I'm definitely willing to change that.

It's fine since it's attached to the intake they move together. Make boost noises

Waiting on injectors and tune! Hopefully next week.

Excited for the e85 stuff. Let's see if it is worth all of this hassle.

Turn it right to 25 and prepare for the mind blowage

Very very tempting.

Think I'm gonna start off around 12-14 psi to make thing everything is safe lol.

I don't think mine can be that safe. I hope it can, but have my doubts.

Where is the fun in that?
at least go to 22.05psi.
you'll be fine.
and leave your fpr where you like. (Maybe some positive reinforcement will get Alec to turn up the boost.)

I plan to turn up the boost, just not going to back it out of the drive way and then go hit 25psi with a new fuel, pump, injectors, tune... if 12-14 psi is safe, I'll keep turning it up till it starts to go lean lol.

[doktor b]

If you think metric, 22.05psi is only 1.5Bar.
Now it's only a little boost.

[rajicase]

Oh that makes a bunch of sense. I'll just run 3 bar then. That should be really safe for test purposes.

This makes me so happy.

[rajicase]

This makes me so happy.

Actually lll just disconnect the waste gate and run all the boosts.

I did that once....on accident.
my WG-turbo reference hose blew off (or otherwise failed) and I was unaware.
I knew something was up when I hit 35psi instead of 14.7....

[Mklock]

Just weld the wastegate skip all this nonsense.

ugh, all this talk is making me want to convert over from 93+meth but my car will sit too much once it's done. I don't know if it's worth it based on that with some of the issues I've read about idle time in the tank/system. Definitely looking forward to the results though.

You've done a lot in what seems like a short amount of time, that's awesome. I'm jelly since my free time is very minimal and it's taking forever to get mine close to 100% where I want it. It's been a garage ornament for a few years now

I'm excited. Funny, I feel like it's taken forever. I started this project on 2/13. Gonna be at least a week from now by time it is running again, so over a month in this project.

Really feel like I could have knocked it out in a few days had I had the money to buy all the parts at once and the time. But school/work takes up the vast majority of my time.

[dburt86]

hakentt would have had this done 2/14

[rajicase]

Man hakky would have been done on 2/12
