Upgrading my turbo.

So I'm in the process of upgrading my turbo and I have a dilemma. My current turbo is a t3/t4 to4e egay special. It's has done me good for nearly 30k miles on 10lbs. It's now starting to smoke at idle and is quite an embarrassment. I obviously don't want to purchase another ebay turbo and want to go...

Re: Hunting AFRs

Does the turbine sound more audible? More gas smell from the engine bay? Going through gas a tid bit quicker?

I would suspect exhaust leak pre O2 sensor and pre wide band sensor.

Re: S15 BMC clearance for turbo

Sorry, should've been more clear about the booster situation. The booster that you mentioned is what I have.

Although it should be more common sense, the thicker the booster, more possible problems.

S14 non ABS RHD booster w/stock brake line fittings didn't cause me any problem.

Recharge battery, (possibly buy a new battery),and get the alternator tested in the same time frame, (possibly buy a new alternator).

youll have to hammer in the strut tower about 1/2" or so to clearance the banjo fittings you will need to use. I have the s14 RHD master and booster. I didn't have to beat the strut tower one bit. If you tweak the lines just right, there is no beating involved. Of course, you have to add line ...

Re: Fusible Link - RPM Signal

There is not a fusible link. From point A to point B, the only thing in between is the ECU. You blew something on your tuning method.

Which you already figured out.

I did this to myself a few months back.

Re: Battery tray cutting for cold pipe

I think mine was cut to about 10" in diameter. It's pretty big than what most people do.

+1 for lining the cut. I used vacuum line that I had lying around my shop. For the guys that have holes that are slightly larger than their pipes, it helps in case of rubbing.

They are relatively close to 3/16 or a 1/4 inch. If I can remember when I go to my shop later today, I'll get an exact measurement for you.

Re: Wastegate won't stay closed.

There should be a fitting on the front of the turbo, where the hot pipe joins. If you have one, get your vacuum source from there. If you don't find or understand what I'm talking about, let me know.
