Turbo Help

[Maguyver]

Guys I tried looking up info on Greddy Turbo installs and dont find much on here, does any body know where there is a good spot to tap in for the boost gauge and also any tips you guys can give me would help......... oh and how much did you guys Heat Rap around the turbo area, thanks guys

[biohazardous_customz]

tap off of the vacuum line goin into the brake booster...thats your best source for vaccum on our cars in my opinion.

As for the heat wrap I would wrap the fuel line next to the manifold and the vaccum line near the manifold.
also the sfter cables because they get sorta close to the downpipe...

and the biggest for me wrap the oil return line that runs to the pan.

I did this and saw an 11 degree drop in my oil temps from wrapped to unwrapped
from 210 down to 199


If you have any other questions let me know.

ok guys, just started the car the only thing not conected is the down pipe and the car starts up fine, it goes up to 2500 rpm and then it starts to shutter, the rpms drop and then it shuts off. Any ideas????

[arizonaturbo]

I had the same problem with the downpipe not being connected, except, that the car would drive. I have the CEL, Traction and VSC lights all on until I got my downpipe reflanged and had no exhaust leaks.

how is your tune? that sounds like the car is getting to much air to make up for and is dying. mine was doing the same thing with my larger intake so i had to choke it down, and my supra does the same thing cuz the MAF is bad. it may not be that, but it might be

[Maguyver]

lol its funny how a little thing like the MAF can play tricks on you, i had it on backwards. when i flipped it everything went to normal thanks for the help guys now its time for the Dyno

[Cinderblock]

:rofl: hahaha thats really funny. an outside opinion always helps. good luck on the dyno man keep us posted

[Maguyver]

one more question b4 the dyno, should i use a stock air box better or a filter just on the end of the tube in the motor compartment

[Cinderblock]

you mean the tube that connects to the airbox? does the greddy kit move the MAF of the airbox? if it does u wont even need a filter on the tube if your dynoing indoors becuase it should be ver clean inside where a dyno is lol.

[Maguyver]

where did u guys stick the e-manage, it looks like there is no space for it anywhere

[Cinderblock]

i dont have one myself, but ive heard some people double stick tape it rite to the bottom of the ecu, thats prob what i would do too.

[uber-xA-RS2]

My eManage is Velcro'd to the bottom of my stock ecu. That way everything is accessable and repositionable. :D

[JSosa]

I put my emanage in the glove box, nice, hidden and still VERY accessible.

[vettereddie]

I used two zip ties to fasten the eManage below the stock ECU. It's a bit more secure than velcro and leaves it accessable

[Maguyver]

Hey guys I’m looking for a vacuum fitting for the brake boost line that has for two slots.... what I’m trying to avoid is putting two different T's on the same line any idea where I can get that

[Maguyver]

ill try the tie wraps first if i don't like the way it goes then ill do the velcro thing, let see

[Cinderblock]

um i think stu at last look customs sells a 3 way vacuum piece, laslookcustoms.com under turbo acc.
