sulk Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 If only this worked for 3.0r. Good job with the turbo! They have some pretty crazy supercharger kits for the 3.0! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryouske Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 I'm surprised I feel like that sounds like one lol I guess mine makes a more distinct noise. My video of My 0 to 80 is in my thread about the turbo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsprophecy Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Here are some videos as promised. Paul said the weird noise when coming off the gas is the throttle body mixed with boost, nothing to worry about. I'm not sure how to put the videos in the post so here are the links for now. 0-70 http://img705.imageshack.us/img705/8905/ua4.mp4 Engine bay with revving http://img580.imageshack.us/img580/9342/t9f.mp4 Drive by, after 16 seconds, skip to around 48secs to see the end, it took longer for me to turn around than I thought it would take. After watching the video the car sounds so mean going by in 2nd while being on it a little. http://img695.imageshack.us/img695/7887/u7gz.mp4 Sounds nice!

GEE-OTTO Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 The one thing about this kit I would change would be that BOV i despise that blow off note I prefer a cleaner purge like the Synchronic or the GFB 50/50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XRJoe Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Looks good Brian! Nice install and writeup. The one thing about this kit I would change would be that BOV i despise that blow off note I prefer a cleaner purge like the Synchronic or the GFB 50/50 No BOV or BPV on the kit. The sound you hear is compressor surge. The air from the intake track is coming back off the closed throttle plate and through the inlet of the turbo. It's also commonly referred to as a 'flutter dump'. Not the best for the turbo, but at only .5 bar, it's not going to cause any serious issues for a LONG time. If you look at the inlet piece, these is a bung on the side that is blocked which is for a BPV recirc line. Tapping any of the charge pipes for a quality BPV and then running the line to there will get rid of the surge and help you get back into boost a bit sooner after lifting the throttle as the turbo doesn't have to do more work to spool back up. Brian, if you are interested I still have a 1G DSM BPV that will work, you'll just need someone to weld the flange onto your cold side piping. I don't have access to a TIG. A Bosch valve works great too and can be picked from almost any VW or Saab in the junkyard and only needs a 1" bung on the charge pipe to connect to.

GEE-OTTO Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Thanks i know full well the effects of Compressor surge and why some guys run a BPV, 50/50 or a BOV VTA. (not to be an azz ) Even full race guys dont run a valve with the logic that the throttle plate is only closed for a fraction of the time and the time it is closed isnt enough the stall the turbine wheel.

rdhoggattjr Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Would a lgt intake manifold fit a 2.5i? Is a turbo shield better than a turbo blanket fyi they also have a spray you can use http://www.honda-tech.com/showthread.php?t=1608324 i dont know if i would want to spray something no my turbo though but it looks like it works good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryouske Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Thanks! I actually picked up a Cobb radiator shroud and not to sound like an idiot but it really does seem to help so far. I also was looking at an hks ssqv and I really love the sound! I want one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1stick3pedals Posted June 7, 2011 Author Share Posted June 7, 2011 Some goodies arrived today! http://img864.imageshack.us/img864/511/dscn0466df.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1stick3pedals Posted June 9, 2011 Author Share Posted June 9, 2011 Turbo blanket installed. It was simple yet a little bit of a pain at the same time. The pain part were the 2 springs you have to attach to the top of one end of the blanket and then the sides of the other end. It's pretty well set even without the springs. One cut was made to fit past the actuator which you can see in the photos. I haven't driven with it too much yet, I'm planning on driving around some tomorrow with the near 100 degree weather we're supposed to get here! I did use a heat reading gun on it after driving it quick on the highway and the blanket was 200F while last time I tested the turbo after driving for 40 minutes on the highway was 550F. http://img831.imageshack.us/img831/9660/dscn0474i.jpg http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/9674/dscn0473n.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryouske Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Is that a bov in the picture? How's it sound? I just hit 1300 with my turbo on I feel like it's much more broken in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still waiting on one piece so I can install it. That's good, I haven't calculated what mileage I'm at recently. But I still love it, the sound, the torque, it never gets old.

Ryouske Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Same here you going to wbm this year I'd be pumped to see your set up in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1stick3pedals Posted June 9, 2011 Author Share Posted June 9, 2011 Same here you going to wbm this year I'd be pumped to see your set up in person. I definitely am, I can't wait! Update on the turbo blanket: I took the car out this afternoon, even though it hasn't reached 100F here, it is 90F in the sun. The turbo blanket ranged from 200F-240F and the turbo was 450F+ It looks like it is doing it's job pretty well. So far I'm happy with it. Keeps the heat down near the wiring, that's a huge plus.

GEE-OTTO Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 hey great addition with the blanket It is way close to the main wiring harness for 100% peace of mind, not to mention it dresses the bay up a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEE-OTTO Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Another Question I have is: What feeds the Turbo oil? it is above the block so it can't be gravity...right ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1stick3pedals Posted June 9, 2011 Author Share Posted June 9, 2011 Another Question I have is: What feeds the Turbo oil? it is above the block so it can't be gravity...right ? Check page 4 for a picture of the oil line feed, there is a spot near the alternator that provides oil for the turbo. I believe it is the oil pressure sensor possibly.

THE RZA Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 rotated setup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEE-OTTO Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Nice! I think that is the oil sending outlet or rather where one would place a oil pressure gauge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1stick3pedals Posted June 10, 2011 Author Share Posted June 10, 2011 Nice! I think that is the oil sending outlet or rather where one would place a oil pressure gauge Yup, it's not too hard to deal with. Just a little tight of an area. An angle adapter on an extended socket will do the trick. And THE RZA, are you talking about the turbo set up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEE-OTTO Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 rotated setup? rotated indeed ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE RZA Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 I was just saying that as the answer to how the oil is fed in to the turbo, good to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1stick3pedals Posted June 13, 2011 Author Share Posted June 13, 2011 Update: The turbo is still running strong. Put some miles on it again this past weekend. I love not having to shift out of 5th on the highway unless I go below 40 or 45 mph, hill or not. The turbo blanket really helps keep the heat down in the engine bay. I am really glad I purchased it. For anyone interested it is the T3 sized blanket that fits this turbo. My last piece for the BOV is coming in this week, so I should have that all set before WBM this weekend! If anyone has any questions or wants pictures of anything feel free to leave a comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1stick3pedals Posted June 16, 2011 Author Share Posted June 16, 2011 New update. Decided to wax and vacuum the car today in anticipation of WBM this weekend. Had to take a couple quick pics afterwards. http://img847.imageshack.us/img847/4697/dscn1248.jpg http://img684.imageshack.us/img684/6192/dscn1233u.jpg http://img844.imageshack.us/img844/1003/dscn1215o.jpg And after that was all done. I went ahead and installed my BOV since the final piece arrived today!! Very straight forward install. I went with the recirculating type to keep noise down as well as to avoid MAF issues. I'm really happy with it. It makes a slight chirp noise, but it isn't very loud. It also makes the phshooosh sound as well depending on how I handle the throttle. http://img543.imageshack.us/img543/25/dscn1265f.jpg http://img28.imageshack.us/img28/2135/dscn1266v.jpg It's a Type 10 BOV and I used the weakest of the 3 springs that came with it.
