Why is the stock set up lame? It certainly allows enough air and filters it very well. What else do you want from your air filter???
(11-09-2011, 10:16 AM)iheartboost just disconnect the waste gate FULL BOOST! lol jk
Efff the waste gate.
Save your lunch money and get the manual controller.
- Set it.
- Test run down the street, if it needs adjustment
- Pop the hood
- Adjust
- Leave hood on the safety
- Repeat.
- Close hood when properly adjusted.
That will take 10 min max

Is the overboost safety switch that sensor lookin thingy sticking out of the manifold towards the back??

Oh well the switchover valve was bypassed by a previous owner sooo I guess thats one less thing I have to remove lol. Has anybody come up with any good uses for the hole the sensor screws into, or is it just best left alone
Ahh, i pulled that thing off when i yanked the ALDA off.
I figured if it was hooked into the ALDA i didnt need it anymore
You can leave the sensor there if you bypass the switchover valve. Or unplug the sensor and leave the switch over in place
lol yea captain thats true. i was figuring he was going to remove it or by pass it like everyone else lol
I by passed that hoe!
A previous owner by-passed the switchover valve so its already done! Now I just have to stop screwing around and actually get some more work done on the car, maybe after this week since Im gonna have some other stuff goin on that takes precedent
I ran without the wastegate hooked up for at least two months... It maxed out my harbor frieght boost gauge and then some. At least 25 psi. Sounded sooooo amazing on the freeway at 17-23psi in third passing someone. I had so many people looking like WTF is this haha.
Now I have my wastegate actuator line replaced, and I went back to the stock air cleaner, versus the shitty fram 8038.
How did it perform at that boost?

(11-14-2011, 01:54 AM)Captain America How did it perform at that boost?
Haha yeah probly like a heat gun too lol
So what I take from this is, increase boost until it sounds like the turbo is gonna explode, then back off a little bit lol
Lol dont do that. But dam I dident think these baby turbos could get to more than 25 psi
It will make that boost. But at that pressure you are both over running it and making an intense amount of heat. Take a look at what 15lbs looks like....
Poor Little 45 trim looks like this @4500 rpm with 15lbs of boost:
I don't really understand what Im looking at
wow. yea its already falling off the map at 15lbs. its been a while since ive read a compressor map. looks like ill have to do a little refresher once i try to find the turbo for the 603
They need to teach useful information like how to read these things in schools, so I understand what the the y-axis and x-axis represent but am still trying to figure out what they have to do with each other and where rpm comes into the equation
Alright that makes a little more sense
Basically the more boost and RPM you have the red dot moves up and to the right....
The curved lines that start high on the left and go down to the right are turbo RPM
The left side is SURGE (when more air volume is being made than can be taken in by the engine IIRC)
The right side is CHOKE:
"When a turbocharger is run deep into choke, turbo speeds increase dramatically while compressor efficiency plunges (very high compressor outlet temps). Additionally, the turbo's durability is compromised by the resulting high thrust loads."
You can plug boost and RPM into the calc to see where your turbo is operating...

Does anybody know the diameter of the line going to the wastegate? The manual boost controller people make you choose between 1/4" and 3/16" on their website
hmm... good question. lol.
Line size is 3/8" going to the wastegate.
I guess I should get the 1/4" one then
Which part are they referring to for the size choice? Link?

(12-01-2011, 11:36 PM)Captain America Which part are they referring to for the size choice? Link?
Ahhh, Guess it wont matter because you need 3/8" barbs anyway...
FINALLY!!! Ordered turbo and exhaust gaskets along with a new thermostat, from autohausaz, hopefully they arrive in the next week so I can finish this project lol, so I guess I need to get an egt guage and install on the non-egr manifold before installing in the car, and then I can hopefully move on to other projects.... hmmmm Im having trouble deciding, A/W IC, or water/meth/war emergency power/ whatever you want to call it, or maybe something else?? Suggestions folks?
Nuclear Reactor FOR THE WIN!
That would be bitchin!!! Imagine the torque lol

Do you want me to rename it too?

TURBO -Biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitch!
^^^^^^ like X 1000 lol
I just got mine rebuilt. I guess it depends on your goals...
My goal is to be able to be able to merge with traffic, possibly going uphill while doing so
Cost me $400 to go from a blown out Garret T3, 45 trim to a 60 trim with a brand new CHRA and new turbine wheel. Only old parts used were the turbine and compressor housings. Now I can safely run up to 24psi @ 5000 RPM and still be 70% efficient, whereas my 45 trim would have exploded 3 times over
http://www.superturbodiesel.com/std/show...5#pid28225
Hmm do you actually run it at 24psi? And I thought 13 or so was the max that could be run efficiently without extensive pump work/tuning, without just producing more heat
No I dont but have that option available. at 14psi with stock turbo, youre under 65% efficiency so yes a lot of heat is being made... IP tuning will not change the compressor map. The 45 trim works harder with higher pressure no matter what you do to the IP.
So approximately what is the ideal pressure for stock turbo with stock IP (ALDA maxxed) for best power/efficiency combination?
I would say 13, 14 max
Yeah that's about where I was planning on putting it
after that turbo charger go boom! ....Not literally, but you will be over running it if you go past 14lbs.

Ryan after he cranks the boost up...

lol. I have too much fun
HAAAHAHAHAHAAHAAHAHAHAA!!!!!!!!!!! That would be awesome!!!!
