Please explain how my turbo works. Pic included

Been thre done that man! I knew nothing on turbo sled at he beginning of the season but decided to turbo my dragon anyway.

Best advice on here was print the instructions from bd and read them not once but 2-3-5-10 times if needed. You need to know how to do everything on this sled or pretty much. When I started I wold read charge tube and wonder what that should look like and then fuel pressure regulator and still don't know what it means. After reading instructions several times (before install cause I did my own install) and reading every possible thread on here I ended up building an okay knowledge of my sled.

I am riding anywhere between 00 to 3000' and I can assure you 6-7 psi with 100% avgas is not a problem.

I would also suggest you build yourself a little plastified tuning guide that you can just throw in you backpack or under the seat. This way when you're out there you have something to work from. Don't go out thinking you will remember all the buttons and numbers on the box!

Finally most important thing, start tuning too rich and then lean it out. Makes sense you will say but hey you never know what people can do!

Thanks for the kind words Mike. I am just trying to do a good job.
The kit he has is one of the first we did, The setups we do now run the Tial housing and has awsome boost adjustment and such. anytime you need help, feel free to ask.

Cheat sheet

What Francois said, carry a plastic coverd cheat sheet in your pocket.....good luck. These things are addicting. oh and carry a tow rope!

I've got both, that last part doesn't sound to comforting though

Hope i don't have to use the tow rope.

Well boyz

Took her out for about a 5 min spin on the field, opened her up once and the o2 guage read 15. Turned up the fuel in the BD box, didn't help. I'm getting tons of air to this thing, (which is great) but my injectors are maxed out!! Will be needing a 4 lb wastegate acuator.

Anyone have one for sale??

Fuel with lead (Av gas) slowly wrecks O2 sensors making them inaccurate. Is your sensor new or used?

 

[Mike89]

The turbo has about 400km on it. I'm guessing thats about how old the 02 sensor is. Don't know for sure! Just bought the sled. What are u thinking?? I will put in MU single screen egt soon then I will know for sure what's going on in there!

pull the 02 sensor out of the exhaust and place a rag sprayed with brakeclean over the sensor and start the sled the o2 guage should read like 9 or 10 very rich if it reads rich then goes lean like 19 or higher the sensor is toast....just went through all of this if the guage is an innovate the replaceent sensor is a bosch part you can get from napa....good luck
