Dazzi's Turbo Project

"Cheers Polo Well I was having a good talk with my mate and I think we've come to the decision to drill the sump. Its far too risky drilling into the block as its cast which is bad for drilling. Bit like drilling into tempered glass really. At least you can replace the sump if it goes wrong. Hes contacting the guy from Boost Logic who he knows quite well to include a drilled and tapped sump in with the package so its a straight fit out the box "

"Well seeing as I have ran out of money for the time being buying parts (roll on next week) I decided to wire in my digital gauges. I installed oil pressure oil temperature and I rerouted my existing water temp gauge. Im planning on getting the glove box gauge pod but dont fancy paying 170 quid for that yet. So first of all strip the whole dash off Find the + and - wire. I used my old clock wire for this. Make sure to wire in a fused connection between the + wire and the gauges so they don't go pop. I got a 3amp fuse installed as suggested. The fuse holder I got from maplins btw The tricky part is feeding the sensor wire through the firewall. I got coat hanger with the wire taped on the end and pushed it through the rubber grommet in the foot well where all the ignition leads go. Once through the otherside I got the coat hanger and made a hook to pull it through. Its now easy to route the other wires through once you have a wire going into the engine bay already. Pull the existing wire back through but not all the way and tape the other sensor wire to this. Now pull slowly through the fire wall again and more wires should magically appear. Once all that was done I grounded the gauges using the - wire from the clock turned the ignition on and got them working first time I also manages to wire in the boost gauge/controller but obviously not plugged in yet but anyway its ready.

lookin good dazzi

"Right people after finally getting back on my feet and still craving that boosted feeling i've decided to take the plunge and get this done. Im going to run around 9psi of boost to start me off. This is perfect for me as im not looking to do engine work just yet so should be nippy at around 325rwhp. First of all I finished my carbon gauge pod with oil pressure oil Temp and water temp installed. The large silver gauge is the Air/Fuel ratio and next to that (not quite visible is the exhaust gas temperature gauge. Somewhere I will need to mount a boost gauge. Im sourcing all the turbo parts myself to build a budget kit as I really don't have the kind of money the Boost Logic kit want. I've ordered a T4 flange (for T61 turbos) manifold which im going to fully brace/support and clean up for the project. This set me back 299 quid with 3"" downpipe 4"" induction pipe and wastegate dump tube. Pics of the manifold. Very good quality pretty much bullet proof looking. Internals are not that bad tbh. I should receive the T61 turbo and other bits soon "

"wow it makes me wonder where you get all this money from dazzi! especially seen as the last thing i read on here was that you had lost your job hun! but although im not overly clued up on engines it does all look very shiney "

"looking forward to seeing this finished mate only question i have is what comes with your kit? do you have to uprate any areas of the engine as your adding the turbo? i know you have said the N/A engine can handle the power but im thinking of getting a new turbo for mine incase mine should go and i was thinking of getting a bigger T28 or maybe a T3 Hybrid turbo instead as ive been lead to believe the hybrid will spool up alot faster however im unsure if i would need to start uprating areas of the engine to run this? or does it all depend on the psi that you run? also you probably allready know this dazzi but ive been looking into ceramic casings for the turbo helps protect them from turbo stall and keep the pressures with in the turbo to allow it to spool faster also helps keep the turbo cool also so maybe a thought? "

"looking good dazzi like the gauges. for some reason i always thought the supra was a v6 not a flat 6. you learn something new everyday eh? get some pics up"
