rookie asking questions

[thepushercg]

ok im ready to go turbo, someone lay the facts out there as to what i need ? i would like to go used, what should i look for ? im running a 06 busa with nitrous now.around a 50 hp shot on it. i know this is probally been asked before, but in your kindess i ask for your answers

[Chris Horoho]

here is a small list of dos and donts do be added to later

1. dont go above 7.5 pounds of boost on an fmu (this is to be safe)
2. secondaries makes for a better/more tunable/streetable setup
3. the tune is key to a good running turbobike


ill post more when i can come up with more dos and donts

feel free to ask any ? you have we will answer when we can

[HEAVYbusa]

Yo brother. 

[vic]

Is this the type of set up you are looking for???

[atticdog]

thats what im looking for!!!

[thepushercg]

in my dreams

[thepushercg]

what about buying a used system, good or bad ?

[Chris Horoho]

as long as you find out the history of it
also you would want to know the brand
there is a few kits to watch out for due to the fueling setup
but they can be changed
also try and check to see that the turbo isnt burnt up

[HEAVYbusa]

wow  I could stare at this all day.

[Dan.J]

   thats a bad mofo right there!

I turbo mustangs a lot & that turbo looks bigger that some of mine. Looks like 76 to 88mm range.

PINKY & GSXTurbo will give U great advice & more knowledge than U would imagine. GSXTurbo is a user name to look up in the search.

what about those 2700 ebay turbos ? i know the one one s.org, but im afraid to put that kind of money into a 4 year old system

they use knockoff parts (which some parts are ok to use knockoffs but they dont claim it to be knockoffs)
(not sure what FAST uses) but stedman uses knockoffs on his cheep kit

the wastegates if inspected are fine to be knockoffs and the BOV if inspected are ok too
but they have used some lower quality turbos and claiming quality (would be fine if told they were knockoffs)

[BrianK]

i still laugh thinking about the thread where stedman was claiming to use master power turbos. when quizzed about it he back tracked and then said he thought they were. what a tool. pinky laid a major ownage on him

I remember that post LMAO- was good pwnage

[Dan.J]

from best i can tell the F.A.S.T kits use all good stuff but the blowoff valve (if u buy 1) will be a knockoff unless u pay the extra for a tial. he uses garrett turbo's/tial gates/begi fmu(unless secondary's) my kit was very complete and thought out pretty decent BUT some people had issues with getting there stuff from him ect. so its hard for me to recommend him 100%........can only give ya my exsperiance

[thepushercg]

i found a motorhead kit for around 2500 this a good deal ? he says everthing is there

[Chris Horoho]

what yr was it made?
and which turbo does it have with it? he used a couple different turbos

if you know these things that would help

[thepushercg]

it is a garrets turbo, hes looking up the year, its one of dennis, aka motorheads

[Chris Horoho]

there was a yr or so that TMH used knockoff turbos
usually the header will have the yr welded on it

[thepushercg]

i bought the hahns system for 2k everthing included. so now we will see if i did right or wrong. the brown truck should be here monday. thanks for everones input, i will be asking alot lot more.

[Chris Horoho]

congrats

good luck on the boost
and you have a pm

[thepushercg]

heres where im at so far

what do i do with the oil cooler

[Chris Horoho]

the oiler is usually removed
if you remove it you need to remove the restrictor from behind the oil filter
most dont run it and its not truely required

or another option is to use a 1k cooler

[thepushercg]

i dont seem to have enought piping to go from the turbo to the plenium, does anyone have soem hahns turbo install instructions

[thepushercg]

heres what i mean i dont think they sent enought pipe to run from the turbot tothe plenium

[Chris Horoho]

the plenum input points to the back
the fuel rail is simple to swap
it seems from a post on another board you might be missing a piece (elbow) from the turbo to the charge tube??
but thats just what ive seen posted???

[thepushercg]

pinky u ready for some more questions.

i dropped the oil pan today, waiting on the other one to come allready drilled. i found where to tie the small stainless hose into. i think i can add a gasket to make the snorkle fit. now then the gas area, i pulled the pump out, what all do i take loose from that thing and put back in, and i need to know the vacaccm lines runnings, other than that she is almost done. pics to follow

[thepushercg]

herer is the tfail is this where the spring goes, i got to change it, he had the big spring in side for 12 pounds of boost.

[Chris Horoho]

i sent that info with a vac diagram i thought
if not ill search tomorrow and post up in the evening if i can (long day today)

the sending unit is all you swap to your pump housing in bottom of tank



4 vac lines go from TB's to map sensor
1 to boost gauge
1 to BOV (if have one)
1 teed from the BOV/or boost gauge to go to fmu (restrictor required to fmu)

anymore ?s feel free to post up and someone will try and answer your ?s

[thepushercg]

picture

[thepushercg]

next fuel pump disassemble

[thepushercg]

where does this go

[thepushercg]

the little oval cylinder on front of the plenium what does it do and where does ti plug into

[thepushercg]

does this look right except hooking up the vaccum hoses

[thepushercg]

does the main fuel line go into the fuel rail right here

[thepushercg]

thats enough for now, other than figuruing out the fuel lines and vaccum lines i think i have it done. just not sure about those, and how hard is ti to change that spring out for the smaller one.

[BrianK]

don't forget to put ty-raps on all vacuum hose conections. all of them

[Chris Horoho]

its easy to swap a spring just remove  the bolts and reinstall with care

I'm on my phone so I can't see the pics till tomorrow

[BrianK]

on my kit (rcc) thats where the fuel line goes, from the pump to that fitting on the rail
