I was making 353 on 91 with the base 2871 at 15psi. 9:1 c/r. Installed the gtx3076r for the same reason. Won't have numbers for awhile tho. I doubt 450

Yeah, sorry I miss understood, so there would be less boost lag with lower compression pistons?

I'm curious to see numbers, I'd love to know so I can make a decision from there

It's there. Ran into unforeseen issues so it'll be a couple weeks I think. Need to get the downpipe and header ceramic coated and try to fix the oil leaks again.

I have the exedy stg 1 clutch back in it, so I don't think I'll be able to push it past 300wtq anyways

I'll definitely post once it's done. 400/300 is the goal.

Not acceptable. I want numbers, NAAAOOOOOOOWWWW!

Hahaha, I was hoping for 450/350 but it seems like that might not happen

What oil leaks did you have? I had my car back and enjoying it for maybe 3-4 days before finding the turbo was leaking oil. It's out for repairs now. I think I've had every problem possible so far.

Hose end fittings on both sides - oil cooler and sandwich plate. I replaced them with the ones LJ sent me 3-ish weeks ago but they still seem to be leaking (much less though). I definitely could've done it wrong. @Sterz mentioned his were replaced with XPR lines and are still leaking as well, so I really don't know what to do.

How the hell did the turbo go bad? How did you notice that?

mike the snake · 03-12-2014, 11:22 PM

I noticed a bit of smoke coming out the headlight after I shut the car off at night. Looking around, I found a small bit of oil on the skidplate and oil return line. I took it in and the shop tightened the AN oil drain line, but the leak remained, so I got the car on a lift myself and saw the oil was coming from between the two halves, where the iron and aluminum halves meet. Oil was seeping from there and burning and smoking. The car also was smoking during warmup.

I took it to my shop, they removed the turbo and confirmed it was the shaft seal.

No one has seen this happen on a turbo with this few miles (maybe 150-200 miles), it's just my luck.

It's being shipped out for repairs, hopefully it won't take long. I was really digging driving my car with good power.

Anyone run the coolant hose to the turbo from the fitting near the driverside behind the head and the upper coolant passage under the manifold? Deleting the TB coolant lines. @King Tut is that how you did it?

That is exactly how I did it. I essentially had the coolant route through the turbo instead of through the throttle body.

Reaper · 03-16-2014, 01:35 PM

I wonder why they didnt run the coolant into the tb, out of the tb into the turbo, out of turbo into coolant passage under the manifold? @FullBlown ? That would have kept the heated tb and eliminated all the T's. I like our way @King Tut though.
