A standalone oiling system? Yep, been done before. It's absolutely great, but I wouldn't consider one for a turbo kit

Why? That's one of those above-and-beyond upgrades, when you're REALLY running massive power!

I'm running Mobil 1 synthetic in my 3.1 anyway - it can share with the turbo

 

The turbos I have spin 200,000 rpms+.
There kind of small and I'll spining them to 100% fairly often I think.

 

yeah.. update.... i guess....

went for 6 psi... ended up with 15.... DOT DOT DOT.

And she still lives... :lala:

Tuning tomorrow.. same turbo time same turbo channel...

Mind you, on stock chip... set for 22's... times to come.... we 20XD6'd it good. so..... whAAAAAAAt are you doin? gather yon pocketbook and purses mein kinder... for thou hast begun thy domination by burnination...er... spoolination?

 

No way you turbocharged the V6!

It's still not a 12 second screamer, so there's no way the turbo runs. It does, however, have a very peculiar whistling sound now...

 

It's funny how many posts are Doward/Vortex talking to themselves about turbos.

But the rest of us still aren't worthy :hail: !

 

So WHEN the HECK are you gonna run the blasted thing!!!!
My doctor says being anxious is bad for me, so hurry the heck up guys, I wanna see some numbers (Just whining I know). Good luck!

 

so.. uh..

show us

 

I'm heading to bed... I've got a lot of AE tuning to do tomorrow. Not to mention try to stop the turbo from building so much boost!

Oh, it's nice, though - the compressor side of the turbo gets just a little warm, but the tubing after the intercooler is seriously icy COLD!

Intercooler works like a charm

I'll get pics, and some prelim datalogging tomorrow morn for everyone. Like I said, this is the long, hard part!

 

huminuhhuminuhhuminuhhuminuh....

so do you adjust the pressure by adjusting the bov, or wastegate or what?

 

Wastegate

 

Word of advice.... actually having the EST hooked up does wonders for power output of a turbo V6

 

 

to coin a popular Ocala phrase "DUH"... also a momentary setback with the exhaut mating with concrete... but ill put that one on doward... but until then.. he beat a 4.6 crown vic.. high 15's?

 

sounds like you guys are making good progress....any new pics? maybe some audio lol cant wait to get some numbers on that thing

 

The turbo sound alone should be enough to keep most people in their place. Though most cars factory with a turbo do not have that cool sound. But people will learn.

 

well?? no updates today...fill us in!

 

we cant leave well enough alone... we decided that the y-pipe is just not efficient enough with all the bends in it, so we're gonna remake the y-pipe for now, and redo the mandrels when we get more money.. so its "downtime" again, but not for long.. its all tuning now.. its a long road ahead, but lots of seat time just tuning away. .. we'll let ya know asap ...

 

I like the TT's because it takes 3 things to drive any turbine and 1 turbo on each bank helps get these 3 things to the turbine better.
Heat
Pressure
Flow
Heat, With the TT's there closer to the exhaust ports so the heat loss before the turbo will be at a minium before it can get to the turbo it takes mass to drive that turbine and the more volume that mass takes up the better.
Pressure, There will be much less piping to the turbine inlet, less places for cracks to form in the header and less of a chance to blead off exhaust pressure and you port pressue and turbine inlet pressure will be all most the same its all about flow.
Flow, The exhaust gas flow will have fewer twists and truns before it gets to the turbine inlet, it will stay moving fast and not get slowed down.
