but then how would you ever learn the real way to take care of stubborn bolts?

 

I just pretend they don't exist and go about my day.

 

^Fact

Heck especially when you keep buying more parts that have nothing to do with going turbo!

LOL yea...

Boost controller it is!

 

depends on which upgrade you ended up with ?


Stock Greddy - no way

20 g - no way

anything capable of 45 lb/min or more - yes way .

 

Brett's polite way of calling me a pansy for not getting a bigger wheel.

 

me ......POLITE !

 

57trim............. its what you should of done

 

57 trim fanbois !

 

that's another $165... Not worth it, I can do that later when I get bored of my 20g.

 

 

Man - I could write a book on why I disagree with that

 

Indeed, But its just not in the cards mate!

I would need to get the new wheel, send it off to get balanced.an extra $165 Not including the boost controller, honing of the compressor housing, ceramic coating of the manifold, t bolt clamps, mounting the whole thing etc etc etc.

I just don't have the time or money to drop another $165 on the project. I'm getting a balanced assembly as it is tearing it apart and having to pay to get it rebalanced just seems silly.

trying to get this complete before tuning takes place is hard as it is.

 

I inquired about a 57 trim from my turbo builder too.... at the time I didnt want to drop another 250 cash for it, but damnit it would have been worth it. But then again, I would need upgraded fuel pump, injectors, radiator, etc... and that was something I had not have built into my budget for the install. life = need more money

 

Just got my CHRA!!!

Surprise its not a 100% fit...

I think it will still work though... I'll send pics.

 

Turbine comparison


Old


New


It's not a major difference, the wheel is slightly longer. The exducer and inducer are the same size.

Compressor side obviously is the same size just 2 mm off.

 

Compressor

 

soup blender??

 

So will it all bolt together?

 

Yeap, just need to get the compressor housing honed out.

Turbine side fits almost like a glove, still not sure what that 1 mm difference will make in the length of the wheel...

Got the water and oil line kit as well, came with new gaskets and all the fittings i need!

 

Sounds good, do you have a machine shop for the honing?

 

Nope not yet...

 

Bump. Finished yet? Man, this build is taking forever.

 

Shady : looking good man . At least the 20g will flow enough to make a reliable 260-270 - so it won't be no slouch .

 

LOL Only build threads with 40 plus pages and no results deserve... oh wait.... LOLOL

don't forget the fact that I'm ported!

 

will make zero difference at that power level ..
