well after 9 hours straight i am boosted according to my guage it says 20psi. But it doesnt pull like it should it doesnt even break the tires loose in 1st the turbo is off of a dodge daytona 2.2liter, lovefab shorty manifold, vortec fmu, stock fuel pump, 2.5" mandrel bent intercooler piping, johnnyracecar intercooler, no BOV, and No exhaust. the exhaust just comes off of the turbo like 6" and then its open. But what is going on here im going to use a friends boost guage tomorrow to see what i am actually running for psi and hook up my oil lines. Help me try and figure this out.
20psi on a fmu? :think:
you dont already have your oil lines hooked up? im no expert but im pretty sure that if it doesnt have oil it wont last very long
i bought the turbo from a junk yard and brought it home and it ended up being the old turbo a buddy of mine had on his civic and it has bad seals so i didnt care about the oil since i only drove it down the block and back a few times but i stopped in between those times to work on it. And about the 20 psi i really dont think thats right where is the best vaccum line to hook the guage up to??
hook it into the fuel pressure regulator vaccuum line. I still cant believe you would drive around with no oil lines hooked up though
thats where it is hooked up could be a bad guage but why isnt it pulling that hard could it be the turbo it spins at idle and spins freely by hand
I dont know man, but you need to stop driving your car before you fuck something up. No oil lines, no bov, 20psi on an fmu. Your askin for disaster :tsk:
im looking for a new turbo anyway and i need a bov flange made for a 1g oh and it was only around the small ass block 3 times then its parked again till i get my oil lines done. Do you know if napa or autozone has a flange for the drain on the turbo mine is missing it
A-Freakin-Greed.
I dont even know much about turbos, but I do know theu spin EXREMLY FAST, so WHY WOULD YOU NOT HOOK UP OIL LINES!! AND NOT USE A BOV!!?!?!!?!?!
I hope your looking for a new turbo, they only last a few seconds, maybe a minute if your lucky with NO oil…and not having a BOV if just asking for a quick death…
You are going to kill your car, and im sorry your car has such an idiot for an owner… :bang: :bang: :bang:
i must be getting soft! But if he wanna run his car on Kool-Aid more power to him.
Ill just add some more of these…
:bang::bang::bang::bang::bang::bang::bang:
O and one of these :sad:
O and some of these!!
:gunright: :gunright: :gunright: :gunright:
And the look on his face when his engine blows through his hood taking the ‘short’ trips around the block :shock:
the turbo is fucked anyway so lay off i was only using it as a template for the downpipe and piping the new turbo will be on tomorrow and i bought a new guage and it isnt boosting at all
Hes from Idaho…what does he know? ask him about a potato or whatever the fuck they do out there in nowheresville. What are you a landpirate? we call them gays where im from…
no but really running the turbo with no oil lines was dumb but its a dodge turbo i’m surprised it worked at all. Good luck on the project.
hrm…I wonder why
Lets all pray that Darwinism will win this fight sooner rather than later…because, we all know it is inevitable.
Do you really need to stand up for somone else, or can you just let them defend themselves? The comments were not directed at yuo in any way. The potato joke is way old and overused, I have lived here for years and there is no fucking potato farms, not one, all farmland that used to be here 6 or so years ago is now houses were mormons live. And this is not even close to nowheresville, but whatever, your probably one of the many Americans that think Idaho is somwhere by the Great Lakes…
Im sorry I offended you without even speaking to you mighty leader of the assclowns :bowdown:
your ass has a clown on it…
Im just playing man…If you cant joke about living in Idaho then what can you joke about. And no im not a moron so i know where it is.
But i was right about nowheresville? thats a town out there?
Well if you were joking you have to make a little better hint at it next time, im sure you know how many people are on here just to seek out and make fun of others while offering no knowledge whatsoever to the board…
And belive me I do just about Idaho, but there seriously is no potato farms out here, or at least on 100 mile radius of me…And no theres no nowheresville…but it is funny to drive by towns that have population 3 written on the sign…why even bother?
But to the post…You are lucky there was no boost coming out of that thing, you need to not operate without a BOV next time, even for testing your asking for trouble,
if i was you i would be looking for a new motor also if your really boosting 20psi on stock pistons . i did that shit on my b16 because my wastegate fucked up and let the boost go to 20psi . i crack every fucking ringland on every pistons
are you the guy that got the motor you got from me…? If so :rockon: and I will have to check it out some time, that was my plan for it before my other teg got hit… Also I would love to take a ride sometime when everthing is working, owatanna isnt far from me.
well i broke the shaft in 2 places in the turbo but if i had the oil lines hooked up it would have smoked so bad i wouldnt have been able to see out the back window anyway the new turbo will be on tomorrow i had my downpipe made today wich made it jump from running 0psi to 5psi and the blow off valve will be in tomorrow also. I am buying an apexi safc II is it easy to work with and gen2_integra i will let you know when its done ill email you because i dont have a cell phone anymore i will be running about 12psi my goal is to beat my buddies boosted civic running 12-14psi with a shittier setup but he says i cant beat him.
P.s. I NEED A CLUTCH ASAP <ANYONE
