adjusting the cleatance between the valve/rocker/cam lobe is necessary at higher milage.

 

compression test done today!

all the cylinders were at 115, although my first cylinder took a little longer to get up there. It initially read 80 then went up to 115, the guy that was doing the test said it was because of my rings, but 115 is still good for an engine with 140K on it. He also said runnin a T25 turbo at 8 PSI should be okay on my engine, but anything more and it'd probably blow.

T25 turbos are fairly small turbos correct? He asked how big it was, like a specific number (maybe in cc?) but i didnt know. Can anyone help me out there?

Overall the guy siad my engine was doing really good though, just watch out for the first cylinder, but a fairly mild turbo setup like the one i got planned should be just fine

 

115 seems low, on my b7 i was up around 175 across the board and on my b8 i was at 150 across the board. Was the engine hot and WOT when he did the test

 

Ordered a T25 $80 shipped from a guy off Turbod16.com, says it's got no shaft play. Thanks for the find Tyler

Here she is:





You guys are gonna havta help me with which lines connect to where, there's quite a few nipples coming off of this thing.

 

hmmm....looks like you're the lucky owner of the same turbocharger as I have. You see those two larger nipples on the mid-section? You will take your throttle body coolant line and route it through there instead of the throttle body.

 

^ is one the inlet and one the oulet of for the coolant line? And if so, after the coolant line goes through the turbo, do i run the outlet one back to the throttle body?

 

dude, just save up for tony's setup, you will save yourself SO MANY HEADACHES

90% of the work is already done for you

 

i wont have enough til the end of this summer, that T25 is already on its wya though [&:]beleive me, i want Tonys kit really bad, its basically the same thing i'm gonna be running, i just dont have all the money rihgt now andi k now he wants to get rid of it

 

so got a few questions picking out some more parts for my kit. For my oil line kit:

http://www.stealthmodeperformance.com/oil-uni.shtml

Says theres a "Universal T25" kit, will that work? And how about the price?

What it says about the oil line kit: T25 kit uses a 7/16 thread size for the oil inlet. The drain flange from center to center mounting bolts measures 44mm.

So will the 7/16 thread inlet work with.....this oil sandwich adapter i plan on using for my oil feed: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/OIL-F...27369282QQrdZ1

I realize its generic, so if you guys think it'll fail let me know. And it'd also be helpful if you would recommend a better one.

And i remember a while back i reocmmended somebody against an Ebay Intercooler, but Sniper came on an corrected me, saying that the ebay FMIC's would do the job just fine. So with that, i was looking and came across: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/FMIC-...22511626QQrdZ1

I called this business i found on HomeMadeTurbo.com and they recommended for EK's a size very similar to that one's ^ (Core Size 21"x5.5"X2.5", Overall Size 28"x5.5"x2.5") Size and quality look okay? Or do you think its too big, or the quality might fail me somehow?

 

But those headaches are making him learn more
