Alright I know this has already been done but I jus kinda wanted to document this for future builders and not to mention my own help when I run into snags. So after about 6 months of hording parts and a year siesta in warm friendly Iraq I'm finally ready to begin turbocharging my car. well I'll keep you guys updated and hopefully I can get pictures to work at a later date to help.

 

good ****. any details abouf wat you have?

 

Alright Ive got some 43 lbs injectors I got off of someone on here awhile back, with the log style manifold. garrett t3/t4 turbo .63, .70 AR trim. Universal charge piping with a smaller off brand intercooler. a 8-12 lbs adjustable wastegate and an apexi BOV. Mazda 6 V-band 3" downpipe. And then an apexi digital boost controller and apexi turbo timer, and some universal oil lines. O and top it all off wit a tune from Vince over at Trifecta.

 

ok so still no ability to post pics which i think is cuz I haven't posted too much on here ( not much to say that hasnt already been said) but Ive gotten the oil pan done, mounted the turbo manifold and turbo, and had to fab a new pipe to remote mount the wastegate. We'll c wut kind of fun this project holds for me tomorrow. and again sorry no pics, o and does anybody know wut kinda studs I need to the greddy t3/t4 turbo with the 4 bolt exhaust pattern. I got it mounted to the manifold but i have no bolts to mount the downpipe to the turbo.

 

if you want the pics posted you can email them to me and ill post them for you

as for the studs most i can say is go to ace hardware and get a variety of studs and test fit them. thats wt i did, but my manifold was still off when i did it

 

Are you an auto or manual?are you doin any trans upgrades?

 

I've got an automatic unfortunately. but other than adding a shift + to it im not touching the trans or cv's for now. the transmission is technically built for a v6 engine so it can handle the 250 horse that ill be pushing. So up till I up the boost there isnt a need for me to build up the tranny.

 

Ok I'll take u up on that, havent got many pics now because i wasnt able to post and its 40 bucks a day to wrk in the shop im using so since I've got no help Ive kinda been in super fast wrking mode, and its almost all finished jus gotta fix an oil leak wednsday and get a few silicon or rubber or wutever step up tubes for the intercooler pipes. well that and instal the turbo timer and avc-r but that should only take me bout an hr or so to do those two. but as for this long winded reply haha ill send u what I got so far and take more the next time im wrking on it

 

o yeah and the exhaust studs for the greddy t3/t4 turbo wit the square 4 bolt pattern exhaust side r metric. If I remember right they're m8x1.25 for future reference. Hopefully that helps someone.

 

do you want them in here or in the picture and video thread?

 

idk wut the pic n video thread is so here i guess haha unless the other is better for wut were trying to do, and thanks alot for the help

 

heres your pics

 

ur the man blackcobalt707, and jus for the rest of u, that 2nd pic is a random pic of my block heater was showin it to a buddy back in Alaska n accidently added it in there wit the rest of the pics. Jus never seen a block heater u didnt have to pop a freeze plug for.

 

no problem homie. glad to help

 

hey can anyone tell me where the vaccuum lines theyre tappin into for the boost controller, wastegate, BOV are. Pics r a plus

 

see where my vacuum line is coming off my intake manifold?



i just tapped everything off from there. the wastegate you run off the turbo

 

ok thanks

 

no prob, hopefully it helps

 

def did, I thought that was the vaccuum line, but I wasnt sure cuz the material of the stock line haha but is that an avc-r boost controller i c on there?

 

i got rid of that **** asap and got flexible vacuum line lol

 

yeah I'll def b doing the same

 

ok got into the shop today, and finished the build ( sorry no pics, I was wrking wit 4 hrs) then tuned the vehicle n went to start it to test it all... and no go. Thing starts for half a second then dies immediately, none of the lights (security, check engine, etc) come on, car jus dies. Repinned the injectors for the new 42# injectors also today. Anybody have any ideas on wut this could be, would check it tom but I gotta go into the field. so i'll have to look friday, but all i can think to check would b spark, the injectors, or look for vaccuum leak somwhere. any other ideas? o n this all made for a nice 5 mile walk back home.... yay

 

To me sounds like a fuel problem but hard to say without being there

 

5 mile? eff that i woulda called for a ride lol

 

check your injectors and the wiring. Also check your MAF.

As stupid as it sounds, mine did this when I had the MAF backwards.
