turbotoyotas ??

[chintastictc]

hey my buddy just got a tt kit and he doesnt know if he can/should clock the turbo its a garret gt3076r

[B_Real45]

He can clock it however he needs to get the correct fitment.

It's just a few bolts..

[Ace83]

sure can, all turbo can be clocked

[crush02342002]

^^and most likely will need to be clocked

[java09]

yup it will need to be clocked as todds turbines are drop shipped. you would need to clock it regardless as fitment is different on all cars.. maybe not a huge difference but youd want to adjust it on install day.

[chintastictc]

yeh but he wants to know how to clock it he is scared to mess it up....he just wants to know specifics on hw to clock it

[Bryan06tC]

its just a few bolts on the side of the turbo that needs to be clocked! just loosen them he doesnt even have to take them all the way out!..... if he cant clock the turbo, is he sure he can do everything else for the install??? changing injectors ( easy) , tapping oil pan?( easy) etc.

[java09]

you just loosent he bolts on the turbine and it will spin freely.. attach the turbo to the manifold.. put the manifold on the motor.. adjust the turbine where you need it to be.. hand tighten the bolts.. pull the mani and turbine of the motor.. place the mani and turbine on a towel on the ground.. tighten the bolts back up real good.. put the mani and turbine back on the motor.. check for correct fitment/placement.. proceed to finish with the install! cake stuff! haha GL!!

Java was using the term "turbine" here meaning the hotside (dark side) of the turbo. You can also clock the compressor housing (other side) if necessary.

thanks bro ..."bryantc06" hes done plenty of turbo installs but he just wanted to know specifics...lol btw he still wants to know torque specs on the bolts

[Bryan06tC]

which is usually the side that needs to be clocked.....

That's absurd.. if he's done "plenty of turbo installs" then he should know specifics. I can understand if he wanted tuning help - but clocking a turbo???

[java09]

B real.. yeah my bad haha.. the whole time i meant compressor housing (the bigger one, the gray in color one most likely)

good catch. thanks!

as far as torque specs.. i used a wrench till it was tight! haha

not to sweet not to ransid... but justtttttt righttttttttt!

[Ace83]

yeah what they all said, he should be more afraid of running the turbo without a tune or while driving to the tuner.

Whichever - you need to mock up the install first bro..

Put it on the studs and see where it needs to be clocked!..

[Bryan06tC]

Agreed...not trying to flame just think that if enough time had been spent around boosted cars thats just something you know about

[B_Real45]

Ah sorry Bryan - you obviously were not asking which side.. lol

yeh i think hes going to do what i did and cal dezod for a basetune to get it to the tuner

^^ i completly agree actually.. the fact that he asked if he needed to clock it...

i will throw it up!



again not bashing just he should have alreadyyyyyyyy known that. thats all come again! haha

no prob bro.... we are trying top get the same point across.....



oh and guy who is trying to install the turbo.......as far as a base tune there is no such thing.... dezod will tell you the samething even if the setup is spec'd out the same things are just different from ambient air temp to the exact VE your car is running at RPM....... you'll have to tweak whatever map you have a little .... do you have a wideband? Maybe you should hook that up first!!!!
