m52 Turbo Build

Butters already schooled me about the gas light...

I don't have access to a pump right now I've been using a can

FYI, newbies, don't run gas low because it could cause the car to lean out, which = death.

I had a sharp eye on the AFRS, they were in the 11's while in boost and I put a bit of fuel in before driving and it was in a straight line for maybe 2 miles total. I had had an idea that it wasn't good to run it low but sometimes you just wanna drive...

I think I've found my drug

Watch the boost load near the end of the second vid. That is intense for 7

I think this turbos efficiency hits full at about 80 mph.

It does have a small back housing.

No need to thank, just get it up and running. There are loads of guys with heavy knowledge like Pbonsalb, Chikinhed, dburt, Vollosso, sg2800 , e30kid, juggernaut, and notorious VR etc etc. Thing is, the veterans need to help the younger crowd, so later the younger crowd can become veterans. This will give us a break. Also, with stupid Facebook the forums are dying. We need to make this section worth wild for people to enter. We are, in a way the elite of the community. We need to keep it that way.

Thank you for this Butters...I am lucky to have bought a well-sorted car. However, It's good to know that everyone on here is willing to help. I'm doing my best to learn as much as possible.

OP, didn't mean to hijack, I've been learning from your struggles as well. All learning together....

It is quite a learning process.

Taking any NA car to FI, especially when you cobble everything together yourself isn't easy. Glad your learning!

I really don't want take the intake manifold off again.... it would be like the 76th time

This is a hole I had plugged with a bolt and epoxied it. It was too big for the bolt and was leaking.

Any ideas on plugging it with the manifold staying on?

Needs taper threads. Find a taper that fits.

Man your quick!

Gotcha will do. Makes sense. Smaller threads = more grip.

Just didn't know the term

I think he means like npt...they are smaller at the start and get wider as you screw it in.

you can get npt plugs
