heh - you aint kidding . I have only done it once with the engine in place .
Easy when engine is out and you fit it on before fitting the engine .

seriously, it is! So much for the manual. Ok, so I understand you put the pipe in last, but even so, how do you manage to torque it properly? I can only tighten the thing with my fingers.... Looks like I'm going to have to deal with an exhaust leak otherwise

gregs

iTrader: (7)

you should be able to tighten everything with a standard wrench just takes a while because of the limited space

Brettus

I told you about using capscrews - only way to go ....
Also , you know why there is a slotted hole on the return pipe flange don't you ?

gregs

iTrader: (7)

sounds like he is having trouble with the 4 bolts from the turbo to the manifold if he is talking about a exhaust leak

hey i have a question for you guys. i have BNR turbo upgrade. I just had a profesional installed my turbo kit. At the end he said there is a coolant leak from the turbo. Other words, he said the turbo had a flaw. I'm sure anybody can chime in on this. Especially anybody who has BNR turbo upgrade on their car. Gregs?

i think your the first member to have a concern with a coolant leak at the turbo, i would make sure they are checking the fittings on the turbo are tight..i cant see the turbo leaking from anywhere else

G-Gray dude

iTrader: (1)

well the he took the picture with the turbo installed. he showed me green stuff near the turbo. He said coolant leak?

gregs

iTrader: (7)

if the coolant fittings are not tightend properly you will get a leak at the turbo..i would have them remove the fittings and retighten them

one more question, Gregs. my car is running untuned right now. how long can i stay like that for? my accessport is dead. i have to send it back to Cobb.

gregs

iTrader: (7)

as long as you stay out of boost pressures you should be fine for quite a while, just to be sure you can post in MM tuning thread so he can confirm

Benjamz

Just to clarify, I installed this kit and the turbo is leaking coolant at the freeze plug/ cap on the turbo. NOT the coolant nipples where you attach the lines. I will have to re-seal it when I take it back off...I should have checked the turbo before I put it on, I should not have assumed it was just fine and dandy when shipped.

The center section has a freeze plug?
That'll last long...

gregs

iTrader: (7)

its not a freeze plug...its a hex bolt and washer in the center section

MazdaManiac

iTrader: (3)

Ah. I understand. What's it for? Any reason not to weld it shut?

gregs

iTrader: (7)

just additional openings on that housing..welding it shut would be the best option

gregs

iTrader: (7)

they are not usable being they would point in the direction of the turbo manifold..

Benjamz

My bad, I should have said bolt plug and not freeze plug like they use on engines.

Anyways, I am taking the turbo off on Monday and sending it back to BNR.

I really like the fitment of the kit, I took pictures of every step and I will make a thread on it. I did the AEM intake upgrade, BHR coils, AEM boost controller/gauge install and modified the factory airbox to be used. I like the AEM intake, I made it work by cutting the pipe that goes through the front that the filter sits on. I then put the hump hose on that and put the short pipe with a screen at each end onto that with the maf pipe after that. I did cut a little off the maf pipe to get more room. The whole set up came out nice and I took pics of every step of that and how much I cut off on each pipe. I did cut the wire loom open and pulled the MAF harness wires out and towards the front of the car. I rewrapped the harness and routed the MAF harness under the plastic housing and it goes to the AEM intake just fine.

I did not have to bend or modify any pipe and I did not have to zip tie the coolant line to the bracket, I was still able to use the hose clamp fitting.

Since I did take a picture of every step, I will make a step by step report on how I did it with pictures for each step.

Anyways, I am taking the turbo off on Monday and sending it back to BHR. <----- it;s BNR LOL. now i'm really offended ^_^

Benjamz

hi,

maybe you have already answer this, but here it goes:

I got the greddy turbo kit, bnr upgrade, 650cc rc injectors, walbro fuel pump and de-cat exhaust. how much boost can I get from the turbo and how much boost can the engine handle?

*if my English is not correct it's because it's not my native language

thanks

/\ that is an impossible question .
If you put it all together without modifying the wastegate actuator you will make 6-7 psi up top which is plenty while you are sorting out your tune . Don't worry about making big power till you have ironed out all the little issues you are bound to have .

RodrigoSoares

sorry for my ignorance, but i lack the vocabulary in english. can you explain what is the wastegate actuator?

p.s. forgot to tell i'm portuguese, based in Portugal :P

Brettus

The little round thing bolted to the side of the turbo . Leave it alone till your tune is sorted though .
