Ok I've been checking out my turbo and I noticed the only vacuum line is on the compresser housing. It's the first turbo besides stock that I've installed and I know the stock turbo has a vacuum that bolts to the valve cover and the pte doesn't have a spot for this so will I just put a filter on the valve cover or run it in with something else

 

CoOl.

 

? -_-

 

i dont see a question lol. just kindof a statement of randomness

 

That is not a vacuum line on the compressor housing, that will see boost and you do not want to pressurize your crankcase. You can either put a filter on the VC or tap into the intake for vacuum, I would suggest taping into the intake.

 

It was at the end I was wondering what to do with the line that ran from the valve cover to the stock turbo but the other guy has answered it already

 

So as far as the stocker was this line hereto equalize the pressures in the turbo center housing with the vc?

 

I though we were talking about vacuum lines? There are no vacuum lines from the VC to the center cartridge, that would be either oil or water. I'm assuming that turbos only oil cooled so the water lines can just be plugged and hook up the oil lines.

 

Let me get a picture. If I can't find one ill take one tomorrow and upload it

 

It is that nipple on the compressor side that is bolted down by one bolt.

 

If you don't have an answer when i get home ill just provide you some pics of how it should be setup or look at your photo and point it out.

 

What Ford said. Best reply.

 

The line that goes from the corner of the VC to the stock turbo is a vaccum source to help pull crankcase pressure out as it doesnt do a very good job on its own of relieving crankase pressure, especially under boost. You want to tap the intake as close to the mouth of the turbo as possible to attach the line from the VC to. This way, when you are in boost the suction will help pull the crankcase pressure down so it doest build up and make your pistons fight building pressure down below.

You can vent that VC to atmosphere if youd like, but I wouldnt leave it like that indefinitely.

 

Thanks guys this answers a lot I've been wondering as I'm probably 2 or 3 days from having my money and ordering the rest of my parts which means its bout time to start the build!

Thanks guys

 

I would also recommend finding someone who knows what they are doing and have them look your car over before you drive it. Post pictures when you can!

 

I have a certified mechanic who's helping with the build and he knows quite a bit from what I've gathered just from discussing the build with him. Although he hasn't dealt with a turbo before. I will be sure to take plenty of pics and the car won't be started till I take it to ccss3 for the base tune cuz I have a stock tune right now and have three bar sensors. Needless to say it's not being drivin till I get my hands on a proper base tune

 

Oh yea and I got my overtime paycheck so first thing in the am I'm placing my order with ZZP. I'm sure they aren't going to be there on New Years or I'd just call and order it instead of going online

 

What all are you ordering?

 

Rotated trans mounts
Billet engine mount
Arp studs
New head gasket
Dual scan gauges
Wiseco pistons
Zzp rods
Stage 1 cams with larger fuel lobe
82# valve springs
Clutch alignment tool (already bought stage 3 ky clutch)
Rod and crank bearings
New oem flywheel with new own bolts
Zzps oil squirters
6 quart break in oil
And rvt high temp gasket maker for the precision turbo kit

 

My goal is a lil more than 400whp that will be safe and last a long time

 

Nice list. You ever torn apart a motor before?

 

sweet list

 

A couple atvs and a Dirtbike and put a clutch in my Honda. I have a basic knowledge and like I was saying my buddy does it for a living and he'll be there helping the whole way. He just finished his trans am. Don't know what cam is in it but its a beast

The only thing I'm nervous about is honing the cylinders and I may just make him do it

 

Well the parts are paid for. All that's left is for Zzp to ship them after the holidays cuz they were all in stock

 

Did you figure out how to run that vacuum line?
