hey guys im in the process of installing my greddy turbo kit for the second time so this time around i thought of posting some pictures of the install process and some of the goodies i have at the same time....i dont have much free time so this install may take a while due to me spending small amounts of time once or twice a week, i will update as i go along with the install) enjoy!

nice, cant wait to see how it turns out this time!

im excited for you! haha

i cant wait either....this time i can take you for a full ride...lol

good luck man!

why is it a second time ?

good luck with the install .

hmm.. I wonder why Scott made my Mazsport CAI longer.

nice and good luck! this is making me really jealous

why is it a second time ?

good luck with the install .


this is the second time because i had a major issue with the car driving very horrible under boost and couldnt even idle after going into boost, i figured i had a vacuum leak but just couldnt pinpoint where it was coming from so i removed the turbo kit instead of troubleshooting the problem due to my daily driver car was in the body shop getting paint done so i had no transportation at the time, once i started removing the turbo kit i found a very large leak (silicone seal) at the block off plate greddy supplies for the 6th port i will not use that plate this time around from the research i have done looks like the plate is not needed...so now while the turbo kit was off i was able to purchase a full set of real silicone couplers and t-bolt clamps...btw the car has about 6k miles on it now so i hope once the kit is on it motivates me to drive it more often

hmm.. I wonder why Scott made my Mazsport CAI longer.

wow your right i wonder if mine looks like others or if mine is just short?

Wheres my stock intake box ?! ;)

haha i still have that, but its has been modified to fit over the turbo kit, ill show that later in the install, it still has the k&n sticker...lol

haha i still have that, but its has been modified to fit over the turbo kit, ill show that later in the install, it still has the k&n sticker...lol

You bite your tongue! That K&N sticker added 9rwhp.

wow dude your shts already startin to look clean....GL

good luck gregs

Great car! Good luck with the turbo!

thanks guys i cant wait till i can drive the car!

lol when I saw this I got excited for a sec, I thought someone put a turbo on my car :lol:

Lol!!!

its fuuny b/c "s" is the first letter of my last name, so gregs is normally me

Man..I wish my car didn't have 36k on it, I would prolly sell my rocket and turbo/supercharge my 8.

Man..I wish my car didn't have 36k on it, I would prolly sell my rocket and turbo/supercharge my 8.

lol......is 36K supposed to be high mileage or something? :lol:

Im planning to boost my car next year and I have 71,XXX on mine

looks nice

Looks very clean man, cant wait to see the finished product.

very nice!

Nice pics, gregs! I'll be following your progress and hopefully you won't have anymore hiccups in your build. Do you know where that mazdaspeed sign came from? I like it.

i got that from my work, i work at my local mazda dealership. when i work on the car with the garage open its a pretty big distraction i always get cars that drive by really slow and just look or a thumbs up if im looking outside

update:
tonight i was able to finally get all my t bolt clamps to correctly it took several attempts at my local pipe store to get the correct sizing on the clamps due to different thickness on all the black silicone atp couplers & i just realized theres a pretty big difference between different manufactures of the t bolt clamps even though they are listed as the same measurement...these darn clamps can get pricey once they start to add up!

Hopefully tomorrow i can sneak away from the family for about an hour to atleast remove the stock exhaust manifold & part of the exhaust

very inspiring :beerchug:

these pics really help show how everything is set up.

subscribing fa sho... great work greg!

Nice pics man! I am planning on doing the greddy install myself and just wondering if you are having any "stupid" problems that you are running into. Have you had to cut or modify anything?? I am doing this in a 1 car garage also so I know its going to be tight so I just wannt make sure its not going to require major modifications. Thanks!

i wish i had these pictures as a refrence when i installed the turbo kit the first time, this time around im going to remove both engine mounts as kane has recommended so theres a bit more clearance last time i had a heck of a time squeazing the turbo on the manifold

working on the ground is very tight, only modifications i can think of is cutting the lower fenderwell cover to fit the ic piping on both sides, and read the greddy instructions very well they can make the install soo much easier

I did, but he didnt say anything about modifying things or working in a 1 car garage. Just making sure it was even do-able.

it's doable, trust me.
is it fun? not really. :)
it can be done in a one car garage just fine, just make sure you organize all the small parts that you remove, like bolts and plastic rivets and such....also keep your tools organized, I can't emphasize that enough! I lost so many tools during the process and had to waste time finding them.
as for modifications, the only thing you have to modify is the fenderwell plastic and undertray. Easily done in a one car garage.

gregs: good call on the sandwich plate for the oil pressure....that worked out great for me

^^thanks installing my oil pressure guage to the sandwich plate makes it soo much easier

i know my question seem out of topic :D: but what strut bar is that? looks good :)

i know my question seem out of topic :D: but what strut bar is that? looks good :)

his sig sais its a Corksport 3 point strut bar.

i know my question seem out of topic :D: but what strut bar is that? looks good :)

no problem its a corksport 3 point strut bar, lots of bling...bling

Good luck man. Dont feel bad. Mine took 2 months to do and it is running very strong. I still need a resonated midpipe. May the finger healing gods be with you.

nice pics! this will really help me when i get my turbo kit

update
so i got the exhaust manifold off but i have a quick question hopefully someone can help me, before i attempt to place the turbo and manifold on the car i wanted to know if i can remove this brace??? im hoping it will not interupt my front end alignment settings?

Hell yeah - you have to remove that brace.

It will cause no alignment harm.

I also recommend removing the oil sending unit; and both motor mounts to fit the turbo in there with plenty of space to work.

thanks kane i saw your previous thread looks like ill do that, is removing that oil sending unit a pita?

Nah; adjustable wrench and it is off; you have to anyway to install the oil sending line; might as well drop it and the mounts; to make installing the snail easier.... IMO.

I have big hands; and am Clumsy....

kool ill take a crack at it rite now, i cant believe i managed to squeeze everything in there without removing anything but then again i remember cursing quite a bit

thanks again kane!

Anytime brother.

If I can help some folks avoid my pain - then I am down.

well i havent given an update in a while i just finished the install last night and it looks like i have some bugs to work out, car is drivable after 3k goes into boost faily smooth and afr is in the lower 11's at WOT but after driving the car for a few min the car will stall when coming to a stop after restarting the car still will not idle on its own only way i can keep the car running is by keeping the rpm above 3,000 rpm...sigh

^hmm...vacuum leak maybe?

can you get a vacuum reading?

get back to us after 3-4 drive cycles if it still does it ....

Update!
I spent some time on installing my 2nd greddy turbo kit today, just to give you a brief update after blowing my engine a few days before the so cal annual dyno day i had to remove my turbo kit for a reman engine sent from mazda (once my engine was being replaced my turbo kit was sitting around at home and stolen! so i came across a decent deal on a used greddy turbo kit that had seen better days...nothing bryan from bnr cant fix! hope you like the bnr turbo upgrade pictures....now for the pictures:

More detailed pics to come when i have more time

Awesome man!! Youre car is at the exact same step as mine so all these pics look like my own right now!!

awesome! glad to see things are finally come along again greg!

^^thanks im glad im soo close to being boosted again especially after the obstacles i went through

Man, the turbo and manifold are very nicely done great touch!

What are your plans with existing wheels???????????????!!!!!!!!

i put them up for sale but i might still keep them well see...

Greg, great to see you getting the car back up and running.
keep us posted!

Don't worry, we'll be doing another big Dyno Day at the beginning of the year :)

^^glad to hear that..this time i will take it easy and keep an eye out for my afr's

sweet man .

Any thoughts on why the last motor blew ?

^^once we pulled the motor and spun the crank pulley you could see parts of my apex seal floating around...the night my engine went i did hear marbles in a can and 20 min down the road while still in 6th gear i may have put too much load on the engine to lean it out?? i didnt have my access port hooked up so i wasnt sure where my afr's were

What were you doing when you heard the marbles ? High rpm low rpm WOT ?

You really should try analyse what went wrong before you boost on the new engine ...

when i heard the marbles in a can i was "WOT" i actually took it up to about 120 (stupid me) once the engine is up and running im going to take it easy and hopefully get a tune really soon (when my engine blew i also just corrected a boost leak i had and was spiking to 10 psi and settling down to 8-9psi, previously was at 5 psi at wot)

good to see this thing back in ackshun... cant wait for more pics

if you went from 5 psi to 10 at wot I would suspect your wastegate was sticking somehow . If your tune was any good it would not have mattered .

Nice man - I am working with J Cab right now on his BNR.... I am excited to see how those things perform.

if you went from 5 psi to 10 at wot I would suspect your wastegate was sticking somehow . If your tune was any good it would not have mattered .

when boost changed was after i corrected the boost leak i had, so when i had a boost leak coming from my bov flange, i had it welded (originally had some weired o-ring on the flange) thats when my boost raised consistantly

Glad to see ya get that car together! Hope it makes it to the magazine shoot here in the next few weeks.

You shouldn't have any problems with the turbo at all. It is balanced to .5 gram in2 and has the best thrust bearing you can put in it. If you have clearance issues with that lower coolant barb, just remove one of the steps in the barb. I didn't think you needed to if you went up with the 2 rubber lines and tied them off somehow.

Beside the emanage, I really favor the greddy kit after the turbo upgrade. That is really nice quality parts and the oil pan is also a very nice piece. After several years the technology got better with the accessport and give better control over tuning which is the most important thing with a rotary.

thanks for the info bryan! the coolant lines that i will run will be rubber fuel hose (i have heard it last the longest of the rubber hoses) do you think i will need clamps on the barb fittings? seems like they fit pretty snug on the fittings

hmm, this BNR upgrade sounds like something i should get done before i put my turbo on.

Yes; you should.

I would put hose clamps on coolant lines. If the car gets hot the coolant line might bow off the fitting. That would not be good. Hose clamps = cheap insurance.

If it were me I would too, but every hose I have ever put on those type of fittings you have to cut off :D.

hmm, this BNR upgrade sounds like something i should get done before i put my turbo on.

If you want to do the job once, I would. The greddy units are very nice quality. They just have to be messaged a bit thats all.

Bryan@BNR

well today no updates.. had a long day at work and i have to work on the infiniti (replacing axles) i wont get a chance to work on the car until saturday or sunday

I was going to ask about the hose fittings too on the water lines but I finally got them on. The bottom line is a mother f'r to get the clamp on. I just used the t/b lines and the one was super long and the other one just barely gets in there. Im hoping it wont leak from the amount of times I took it on and off. Need to try and tie the one line to something cause it hangs really close to the turbo.

might stop by and check it out if thats okay with you greg! ill be in oxnard all weekend long, let me know if you need another hand or a couple arizonas haha =P

you guys give me some suggestions about the water lines. If they need to be shortened I would like to make the corrections so that other customers will have it easier!

Bryan@BNR

whats the turnaround time for one of those? i might be able to do it in 2.5 weeks. its around $1K too right?

bryan this weekend ill be finishing mine up so ill give some details and even try to get some better shots of the tight area since theres soo much interest in that area..btw: jess give me a call ill be here working on it sat and sunday!

saturday i was able to spend a couple of hours on putting the car back together, got the coolant lines hooked up to the turbo..the way bryan supplied the coolant lines i was able to hook up the hoses without clearance issues or kinks...one concern is the lower line is lightly resting against the wastegate shaft, think it will be ok?

the lower coolant line to the throttle body is very short, i used a 3/8 barb fitting from home depot to enxtend the hose
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y219/giznizmo/bnr%20upgrade/P1010487.jpg
the upper coolant line to the throttle body has plenty of line to reach the turbo
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y219/giznizmo/bnr%20upgrade/P1010489.jpg
this is the best shot i could get of the turbo actually mounted
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2592/3666945231_1ed9576340.jpg?v=0

All that is left is to hook up my intercooler piping add oil and im ready for startup!
hope these pictures help!

one concern is the lower line is lightly resting against the wastegate shaft, think it will be ok?


it will be ok till it wears through the hose . After that ................. not so much .

im going to see if i can zip tie the lines together tomorrow, see if that makes a difference then...

Greg I was thinking that lower coolant line can be wrapped with Kapton tape used for high temp electronics in my world. I'll ask if I can have a small bit, a little goes a long way. Another option would be installing a sleeve over that area, it shouldn't be heat that's a concern but like Konig mentioned it would probably wear over a long long long period of time. several layers of rubber and fibers. how long, depends on vibration.

I miss my turbo KA setup:bowdown:

^^thanks, i was also thinking of using some heat wrap i have here as well .

You did the smart thing of putting the actuator on before you mounted the turbo. Im having a hell of a time getting the top bolt in, between the coolant lines. I need someone with small hands! I dont even know how Im going to tighten in up.....

^^thanks, i was also thinking of using some heat wrap i have here as well .

That's a fantastic idea! Damn me for not thinking of that :) Well you have to remove the coolant line tho?

I figure next time I turbo I'll just use a turbo timer and say eff the coolant lines.

Just zip tie the 2 water lines together where they come off the fittings. That should keep the lower rubber line from resting on the actuator arm. Looks like a good fit to me! Also looks pretty easy to get to on the car as well.

I may put a 45 degree barb fitting there just to make it easily bolt up.

Bryan@BNR

^^i was actually not looking foward to installing those lines but if you mount them when the turbo is loose in the motor mount location its very easy...the design is pretty close to perfect!

Do you have any advice of getting the compression pipe on the top?? No one wants to answer my post in another thread. Pipe is kicking my ass!!

Hey man, best of luck with the turbo install.

I wanted to know is that Maz-Sport intake still available for purchase, if so where did you pick it up.

Thanks

Do you have any advice of getting the compression pipe on the top?? No one wants to answer my post in another thread. Pipe is kicking my ass!!

its not too bad to get to if you have a stubby open end wrench..i also lay underneath the car and reach my hand up there and tighen most of it by hand...hope this helps...if not pm me so i can help you out

i dont think so...but the aem cai seems to be the easiest solution...i would also pm fluid motorsports and see if he has any, apparently he has quite a bit of maz-sport parts left over

this morning i switched out my hks hi-power exhaust with a greddy evo tt exhaust..progress has been slow being that last week i cut my foot and had stitches hopefully tomorrow ill finish installing my intercooler piping and startup
im suprised the greddy evo tt feels just as light as the hks high power if anything lighter than the hks hi-power

oh I'm jealous...I want that exhaust bad
I would have the same exhaust setup you have if I did. Post up some sound clips when it's installed.

i cant wait till its running, ill be sure to make some videos

exhaust i want :Drooling_

I would have drove down to socal to pick that exhaust up!

those evo tt looks bad ass than others :rock:

are those tips riveted on?

are those tips riveted on?

they are riveted on

Just zip tie the 2 water lines together where they come off the fittings. That should keep the lower rubber line from resting on the actuator arm. Looks like a good fit to me! Also looks pretty easy to get to on the car as well.

Bryan@BNR

placing a zip tie on the 2 water lines where they come off the fittings did the trick..the coolant line no longer rest on the actuator and still no kinks in the line!

today finally had some free time to finish my car! took it for a short drive not going into boost, car drives very smooth, no idle issues and my greddy evo exhaust is soo quiet! night and day difference between my hks hi-power (ill post some videos hopefully next weekend of the nice exhaust tone)

now get Kane or someone experienced to tune that puppy and make some power!

Let me know when you get her tuned! As we talked about earlier, I am almost inspired to go FI. and....er....um.....just need some inspiration

^^im sure once you go for a ride you will be convinced my friend!...lol

I was having the same problem with ideal. After boosting a few times won't stay running at the dam lights. What flash or ecu r u using. I'm running an anchent michrotec an a shitty esmirl turbo or should I say was.

lookin good love the exhaust sooo sexy

gregs, grats on finishing up the install. I wanna go for a ride when it's tuned. :)

Have you managed to up the boost yet greg ?

lookin good love the exhaust sooo sexy

thanks it sounds awesome on a turbo car

gregs, grats on finishing up the install. I wanna go for a ride when it's tuned. :)

thanks when its all sorted out you will def..get a ride for all the awesome dyno days you host..lol

Have you managed to up the boost yet greg ?

not yet, but i havent put much time into it, car is currently in the body shop getting a light makeover. i should have my car back hopefully at the end of next week..then im going to do some datalogs and find out what my afr's and g/sec im pushing with the boost controller turned off...then depending on what i see im going to start tinkering with the boost controller..also noticed my greddy profec b spec II boost controller reading is about 2 psi higher than my prosport boost gauge. im planning on entering high boost levels with caution this time..haha

sounds like a good plan :)

My profec was 1 psi higher than my boost guage as well - on the dyno the profec was the same as the dyno reading so thats what I go with now ....

glad to hear that from you..makes me feel better..ill keep you guys posted once i do some data logs as it sits, pretty curious to see what this car can do...:fingersx:

happy troubleshooting, looking forward to a ride when she's ready:naughty:

gregs where did you ever find gaskets to rebolt your turbo kit on?

gregs where did you ever find gaskets to rebolt your turbo kit on?

i did find a suitable gasket. the last gasket i had trouble finding was the turbo outlet pipe, the gasket that works perfectly without any triming is a tial 38mm gasket..the remaining gaskets for the manifold/turbo, downpipe, intake are all from a t25 turbo (nissan silvia sr20det turbo)

im glad theres other options for sourcing gaskets other than greddy mainly because it takes too darn long

very nice!

thanks for the info greg and great pics and install btw

made a couple of "wot" runs tonight big thanks to ngo for plotting my runs! let me know what you guys think..btw: jeff (MM) & bryan (BNR) the turbo upgrade and tune kick ass... these runs are done without the boost controller turned on so it hits 5 psi and holds to redline

Running rich so no problems to raise the boost a bit at a time .

340g/s is optimistic for 5 psi ....

I love how this is in the multimedia forum. :)

Nice install - can't wait for more multimedia!

BHR pen ftw!

glad to hear the alchie arrived!

Yes, I agree with you Brettus...My MAF is pretty much on point and I believe the highest I have been able to pull was around 369 g/s at around 10-11 psi during a 3rd gear pull.

just read the thread... interesting... :suspect: was this your first turbo install? (forgot to ask at the meet)

just read the thread... interesting... :suspect: was this your first turbo install? (forgot to ask at the meet)

it started off with the first install which was the basic greddy turbo kit, then after
a few pages its the second time around with the BNR turbo upgrade

How's the 8 running?

running nice and strong, tune is perfect and safe, hopefully in the next couple months ill finally be in "baller status" and finally break 300+ whp

I shall hit baller status this spring

muhahaha.......

Hey Greg.

Have you put the pill in the right line and turned up the boost yet? If so, how is it working for you?

Bryan@BNR

i did install the pill but still working on the boost controller settings for now, im hoping by the end of the week ill have some feedback on that..thanks for the help again Bryan!

i want install pics for my thread ;)

Gregs did you mount your meth injection yet? Im curious to see where you will put this...I have my ideas where I will mount mine.

I did mount mine already, i mounted it in the same location as Phils supercharged rx8. look in his profile or previous thread for more pictures, if you cant find pictures ill snap some of mine..mounted in the trunk

I love where you mounted it. haha. easily accessible.

SoCal Dyno Day is coming up really soon and doing some final installs to get ready for the next dyno/tune:

Greg: your turbo setup is amongst one of the CLEANEST setups out there. Congrats man, your car looks better and better every time I see it.

Thanks Jedi! Some more clean up plans to come shortly

Love this thread, thanks.

What the ........ Gregs has a turbo ?

haha i need to get on taking some pictures of some of the recent upcoming changes

your flame out of your exhaust is small.....



j/k

Man o man...that's some bad ass stuffs you have there.

niiicee, if i ever went turbo i know who i could rely on for a reliable/badass setup!

oh wait....... ;)

Great thread and awesome project. Nicely done.

hey man, who makes your IC?
steven

currently it's a Greddy IC, in the next couple of weeks i'll finally have a chance to switch to a larger HKS IC which will fill most of the gaps (IC will rest directly up to the lower section of the radaitor) and focus on a nice idea for ducting.

are you going to make it as front IC? or you are going to tilt it? what is the size of HKS intercooler?
steven

btw, was it the stock greddy intercooler?

steven

Lemme know if you can use a hand installing the IC

still going to tilt it, almost lay flat up against the radiator with a good amount of ducting/a way for air to escape through the IC.

Dimensions
Core-23"
thickness 3"
with end tanks-31.5"
height-12"

Lemme know if you can use a hand installing the IC

will do!
