are you oiling the turbos in sequence, or do you have two feed loops setup?

 

[one eyed willy]

what size oil drian line are you using? are you going from a push line hose to a stainless steel line somwhere for the oil feed?

Loking great man!

thanks man! You have a hell of a build yourself! Much more extras lol how's it coming!!!

are you oiling the turbos in sequence, or do you have two feed loops setup?

is that what you mean I have a pie like adapter inbetween my oil pressure sender with two 3an feed lines going to the turbos.. One feed line to each from th motor...

The drain lines are Russel/stainless in a few places, mostly a thick brake line type.. They don't say how large they are but they are considerably larger then the 3an and I can easily fit a few different fingers in them...
These came with the kit a d are actually molded perfect so not to touch the manifolds I will get some pictures of that tomorrow...

good choice, i just spent a few hours this past sunday really dialing in the "street" version for a little higher boost. it takes some patience, this setting effects that setting and yada yada yada, what tuner are you uaing, sct? have you datalogged at all before,if not you may want to go ahead and wire for it when you do the gauges,it will save you some headache from having to do it later. i wired up a 3 bar map sensor and my aem wideband on a firewire cable that coils up on the driver side access panel, when i datalog i just pull the cable out and run it over to the laptop.using the datalogging really helped me get the boost controller working good,just start the logging,go thru the gears,check it out and make adjustments,then do it again until it works right,took about 10 runs to get it dialed in good.it holds 15psi to redline.

 

[1BADHRSE]

How are you hooking your Wideband and boost controller up to your laptop? I know they have the analog wires that you can tap into... I have datalogged before but was never good at it so I will get some practice...
My tuner only lives 30mins away though so I dont know whats best... I will probably end up trailering the car over there...

i use a 3 bar map sensor and a aem wideband, im using a xcal 3 hooked up to a laptop, the boost controller is not on the laptop,just used the loggs from the laptop to help dial it in,alot easier to do with datalogging than just watching the boost gauge.what tuner do you have?if you have a xcal 3 i can tell you exactly how it wired up,real easy to do.

(Sorry if you've answered this before, too many pages to go looking though)

Here's the pics of my maf

I got about 15 inches of straight pipe before the maf, no issues!

 

[1BADHRSE]

Thanks for the pictures man!!! That looks really good just make me want to get my piping done LOL!!!

 

[one eyed willy]

this was the pic i sent to my tuner before i had it welded into one piece so he could approve the location.

 

[Vashthe3rd]

willy does that mean your BOV is venting to the atmosphere?
That's pretty sick either way, and a superb location for it on the piping, no way you'd have any trouble with that.


Good move on the Eboost2 btw, a much better controller than the AEM one will ever be.
