S&H Performance turbo build,

The link didn't work for me Fuel

I editted the above post.

I did, I mean the WG itself. The 2 pipes that hold it together.

That would be an exhaust leak only as those are exhaust pipes. Any vacuum leak would have to be post TB.

True. Well fuck idk where it could be. That wouldn't effect the vacuum if I was open like that?

Thank you fuel! What did you use to block the intake openings?

See post number #42 and #48 of this thread

I read that I guess it just didn't stick. Thank you!

I thought I told you about hooking the line to the wg off the compressor housing Mikey? If you did that, then that can't be a vacuum leak.

Due to a clearence issue I wasn't able to tap into the turbo housing. I ordered a stainless fitting and welded it 2" down from the turbo in the first piece of coldside plumbing. I can't imagine much of a difference compared to tapping directly into the housing.

^^ That sounds perfectly fine to me. I was texting with Mikeyfitz when he was installing his kit, that is what I was referrring to.

Yeah I managed to tap the housing itself, but when car finally started it was reading 12hg of vacuum. But it was also on a shit tune so idk

I'll take a picture and post it in a bit. I have a whopping 1/4" clearance around the compressor housing and various objects. One of them being right in front of that area designed to be tapped for the WG.

Had the car on the rack on Monday. Just running 91 Octane, 15 PSI, and a moderate tune it put down 593 rwhp/530 ft lbs and then with a check engine light on for the fuel pressure sensor on it made 554/554 immediately after the 593 pull.

I am trying to figure out why the turbo is not creating boost sooner; I don't know how long the break in on the oil-less turbo really takes.

Couldn't figure out how to embed a movie from photobucket, so just click on this and it will take you to the movie.

who's tuning the car?

Sweet man, congrats!

 

[JoshK]

That looks like way to slow of a spool for that turbo. Have you checked for any boost leaks?

 

[Fantas]

That is what I have to do this weekend. I have to figure out it is hot side or cold side.

 

[one eyed willy]

Took about 5-6 hot cycles, about 30-45 miles for my oil-less to start spooling up faster. Plus when it's on the dyno, the tuner will start out in fourth gear at a real low rpm to get more steady load on it.....so the dyno won't show you real spool time.

 

[JoshK]

FWIW, I had an exhaust leak on my car at the exhaust manifold running 8lbs and still made full boost by 3000-3100 rpm. If this is an exhaust leak it would be enough to hear easily I think.

I can hear a small exhaust leak but it is post turbo, I am still going to go through and tighten up all the V-bands on the hot side just to be sure. I will have to undo all my cold side clamps and make sure they are seated properly then re-tighten to see if that fixes the problem.

i agree boost leek. how many heat cycles and how many miles do you have on the turbo. also remind me again the specs of the turbo
