part list for s-series turbo

[Satizzle]

where was that list at?? i remember in a post somewhere there was a list of everything you would need for a turbo kit done up right....whats the url??

[TunerFreak]

Turbo...DUH
downpipe
injectors
fuel tuning capabilities ex. megasquirt or better
wastegate
flanges for wastegate, drain oil from turbo, blow off valve +gaskets for all them
oil lines and fittings
EGT, oil pressure, WBO2 and Boost gauges
vaccume lines
intercooler
intercooler piping
blow off valve
piping for wastegate if you not goin to run an open dump
2 slim fans would probably be good too

im probably missin some things but its the little things that killa ya trust me

[Satizzle]

hey now no need to be rude, i got the jist of it, but there were tons of crap on this page, wouldn't hurt to have it for a referance or sumthin, wasn't lookin for it so i could have a shoppin list

[Satizzle]

oh just caught the last part there, its the little things that i'm lookin for this site for

if no [search] results show up here, head over to turbosaturns.net and type in "parts list" in the [search] function over there.

I see this a lot, and it is not ness. needed for a turbo build and it's the oil press. gauge. You can save the money from that and put it to a superior single slim fan or an upgraded radiator.

couple things I noticed...

You can run the space saving Internal wastegate (low~mid boost)
or an external wastegate (low~stupid boost).

boost controller (unless you plan on running i/w set to a spec.)

couplers for i/c piping

A wideband with datalog functions if not provided from piggyback/standalone of choice.

Tapped oil pan

I really suggest a set of turbo spec cams simply because otherwise things can become destructive very quickly if you get boost greedy....and it will happen.

Copper Headgasket either with the restrictor build in (in production supposedly) or a fitted restrictor.

You can relocate the battery if you feel like it and it's fairly cheap/quick, just makes things easier (ie more space).

Like tuner said, I'm sure there are other things that everyone forgets, but you'll discover them along the way, it's all part of the learning.

Forged internals (cp pistons, crower rods w/fitted pins).

New/rebuilt lifters depending on age of host engine.

Balanced/micropolished crank specfically to 10krpm (stupid power suggestion. If you are going to be placing rediculas amounts of force on this thing while at higher rpms specifically, you do not want it to wobble at all).

Probably most importantly, a supurb nearest to equal length manifold you can find.

If you're going all out, a couple ppl have researched intake manifold alternatives for those that push the engine to the absolute max. Otherwise altering the intake manifold isn't advised.

I've listed some of the basic stuff that I could think of, and some of the extreme end of the spectrum items I could think of. at this point it really all depends on what you want out of your turbo engine.

to get te return line to go to the oil pan, dont you cut a hole in it and weld a piece of small diameter and medium length sized pipe pointing upward and diagnolly towards the turbo.

eh u could if u want but i prefer to get a -10AN/Npt fitting and tap the oil pan for that cause its the same fitting that comes off the turbo oil return flange so just order 2 instead of one. you could also cut that fitting in half and weld it to the oil pan but that would not make it direct bolt on though

yeah, thats what a lot of ppl do and is the best solution.

[Satizzle]

thank you, when i come across that list maybe i'll post it on here for people

and am I correct that you have to make sur enot to mount it too low?

[dream36realms]

If you mount it to low it will leak it can't be below the highest sitting oil level inside the pan

the list should be on therob.com and alot of how too's

I was asking to point out to a person doing this project HINT F&CKIN HINT about how to take care of te oil return lines if tey dont know about therob.com or any other sites. I know why you shouldnt mount it too low. It will also cause the oil to back up in te line and now drip into the sump and will cause it to back up into the turbo and it will burn oil, damage turbo insides, etc.

I'm sorry this is a stupid question, but do you just use a hose clamp to hold the oil line on? I've never looked at a setup like this.

[mars_volta]

the first question you should ask yourself is how much HP you want to make..

anything over 225 whp, forged pistons and rods are a must.

[Satizzle]

well i'm doin the engine over, thats the extent of what i really can do myself tho, havn't turboed anything yet...i wanna go with rods, 8.5:1 pistons, gettin all new gaskets includin high perf head gasket studs and a new bearing kit, my engine is gonna most likely have over 100k on it.
t3/t4 and enough cfm to handle a nice size front mount, its the oil lines and fuel control i'm tryin to figure out, so this is helpin [img]{SMILIES_PATH}/wink.gif[/img]
