Reaper's turbo build

[Reaper]

Car was hit by a drunk driver. All parts have been ordered and there is no structural damage. Just hood, fender, bumpercover, grill etc.


Car also goes back on the dyno in the mean time to smooth out the tune.




While im waiting I pulled the ducati out of its slumber!

Nope, I like my Monster, I just wish it had the horsies of the new 1200 S. Needs an FBM turbo kit. I saw they made one for the Grom. How about it LJ @FullBlown ? Also watch out people, OP might be posting drunk.

tractor supply. Its only E15 rated, but honestly that doesn't make sense. Either the parts inside will corrode or they wont. That's like saying this coffee cup wont work with straight water in it. Im willing to bet they cant put a higher number on the box without a certification. When gas stations first started going E85 all they had to do was get an inspector to come down and certify one of their pumps. They very rarely changed anything. But the certification still cost money.
Either way if it blows up ill post on here.

Someone told me the Grom is the new Honda Rukus. I kind of want one as well, haha. I had never heard of one till I saw the FBM Facebook post.

Nice! I'll look for it next time I'm at TSC.

mines a 12v gpi pump. I contemplated using a 110v pump and hardwiring it into my house but then I had visions of pumping E85 out of my trailer at a racetrack somewhere someday and decided to go 12v instead.
Also e85 has a ravenous apatite for moisture so the least amount of times you open the containers the better. Which makes having an auto nozzle pretty awesome, and safer. Especially if you want to top off before a long drive. I think its an extra 50$ for the auto nozzle and worth it. They are generally blue. Also if you use a hpde drum (which I recommend) you'll need a buttress adapter since hpde drums have different threads than metal drums. I had one and broke it, but I don't keep my pump in the drum anyway. I always drain my pump after use and reseal my drums. Im 100% sure my drums are airtight but I couldn't guarantee the pump was during storage.

this is how to bypass the coolant lines running to/from the throttle body for use with a water cooled turbo.
The first picture is taken from the passenger side of the car and you can see the alternator in the right side of the picture. There is a rubber line that goes to a barb in the pass side of the throttle body, it has been removed and discarded. It usually runs to the water jacket line that runs along the top of the block under the intake manifold, you can see my fbm braided black coolant hose running to it now with a hose clamp. This runs to the turbo.







The second picture is taken from the drivers side in between the brake booster(right side and bottom of photo) and the strut brace (left of photo). Pointing straight up at you on the back of the cylinder head is a black metal coolant tube that usually has a rubber hose that runs to the throttle body. It has been removed and discarded. You can see the black fbm braided hose running to it from the bottom left to the center of the photo.

It is easy, but your photos don't give much perspective, haha.
