YES

I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DONT BE GRINDING THAT!!!! FRANKINWELD!!!
I tend to get myself in those situations as well!!

 

[Visi]

Lol, yeah. It's a bit of a Frankenstein. I burned a couple holes in the wastegate to exhaust because there was a pretty big gap to start with. I'm going to wrap some of it.

 

[joshkoltes]

gotta do what you gotta do! especially when you dont have a tig

 

[Visi]

Very true. At least you know it won't break. A tig is the next thing I get for the shop.

What are you building?

Got some time and some parts this last week to get some work done.

Pipe pressure line with black stainless steel line and -4AN fittings

Pipe pressure tee. Used 1/8" brass tee and two -4AN x 1/8" and an 1/8" x 1/4" barb fitting.

2 mm boost line feeding the fuel regulator reference from the pipe pressure tee.

 

[Visi]

Manual boost controller fed by stainless steel coming from the pipe pressure reference tee.

Used a NOS 1/16" NPT x -4AN fitting for one blow off valve and on the other side a NOS 1/16" male NPT x female 1/8" NPT and then a 1/8" x -4AN elbow to get the stainless steel line in to the carbs.

Power jets. Tapped the float bowl and installed the power jet infront of the slide. Each 1/4 turn on the power jet is the equivalent to a main jet size.

 

[Visi]

Built some split flanges for both sides of the pipe.

Y pipe to pipe

Pipe to turbo up pipe

 

[Visi]

Welded in the AF sensor fitting after the wastegate on the exhaust.

Cut the exhaust and welded on the baseplate on the exhaust.

Drilled the fuel tank. Put the groment and fuel pressure regulator return fitting in.

 

[Visi]

Wrapped the exhaust, wastegate pipe, and up pipeand got the turbo mounted. Need to finish the charge tube, cold air intake, intake manifold fittings, weld on the charge tube for the blow off valve, finish wiring, and finish the fuel lines. If it rains I will have it started mid week, if not next weekend.

looking good! nice work putting it all together. should be a fun sled for you.

 

[screech]

you sure arent going to have any problems with the connection of the y pipe and the pipe... those are some beefy clamp brackets!!

 

[Visi]

I hope it's like learning to ride a sled again. Can't wait to ride it. Those flanges took alot longer than expected to make. They sure made everything stout though.

Between reading Gus's carbed turbo thread and talking to Gus, Ski-dooin it, Tonysno, Swerv, and Bryce at Turbo Performance was how I learned the majority. Did a few things different and added some other things I wanted to try.

Alright ... just filling time till the body heals.

Did you go as far as to calculate on paper what gains you'll end up with?

How about cost?

 

[Visi]

Not sure on HP. Maybe 220 on 8lbs. More or less, not sure. Gus would know more. Cost ended up being a little more than kit costs because of the external wastegate and buying the individual bends for building the exhaust.

Been a while since I've given an update. I've got a little burned out on this build in the last 10 days or so. I did get the engine going at the end of last week! Really stoked. Had to use an air compressor to prime the float bowls because of the electric fuel pump by blowing air into the vent of the gas tank with the cap on. Watched the fuel come up the power jet hose and I knew I was good. (Thanks Tony) Started on the first pull after that. I am taking my choke out and installing a manual primer. Just tee into the line from the gas tank to the fuel pump then the primer and then tee it back into the line from the fuel regulator to the carbs. I have a few engine adjustments to do before i'm happy with it. I ordered my new skid last week. A 154 Timbersled with custom Exits from racing. Going to try a BR Tech headlight delete hood and run a single pod Cyclops headlight between my handlebar risers.

Not much room in there with the 3" charge tube.

I cut my plastics a little bit and am going to cut my side pannel to alow the cold air intake to work.

Charge tube with the blow off valve welded in.
