6 Port Turbo, Megasquirt Build
I am building a car for a local. Finally was able to start and get it to idle on a MS2 V3.
Car is running Walbro 255, 4x720cc injectors and Megasquirt for fuel and management.
Turbo is a China with a 1.15AR exhaust housing and .65 AR compressor housing. The turbo came with the car when he got it so we are going to run it and keep an eye on shaft play. If it gets out of spec it will get replaced with something reliable but for now since it was included with the car why not right?
Exhaust is full 3 inch stainless to duels. Heat wrapped headers and complete downpipe. LC1 for a wideband placed 32 inches down the downpipe.
Here is the first start video and some pictures. There was an exhaust leak at the time and the ECU was not getting a MAP signal. Once I fixed the MAP the car ran smooth as butter.
Enough words, here you go.

Main relay and power blocks.
There is not many people using the stock 6 port intake manifold so here you are.

I will take photos as soon as possible.
No Aux port sleeves although I was working on a custom pair in the past. I may bring the project back and see what I can make of them.
Thank you very much for the positive support. Its rare to see a thread not get flamed down one way or another around here.

First to answer your previous question. Yes the drain line goes directly to the pan. -10 AN bung welded to the pan with a perfect seal.
No knock sensor, just a slow conservative tune.
Ask as many questions as you would like.

As soon as I find the time I will make you and and others a detailed write up on the electrical system. If you are in a hurry for it I can get you something quick and in less quality by tomorrow PM.

The block was not removed from the car during the process. Only external modifications were made. As far as boost, I plan to run the injectors up to 75% duty cycle and whatever it lands us at we will be happy with.

interesting this is making me want to run mega squirt instead lol. but i already have a rtek so i will have to use the factory knock sensor.
have you driven a 4 port turbo? if so how does it compare to the 6 port?
my guess would be that the 4 port may have more lowend get up and the 6 port turbo would have more power in higher rpms. but the 6 port turbo should be able to run less boost pressure to put out the same horsepower.

The higher compression makes the low end a little better off. I have not driven a 4 port turbo. But stock for stock with turbo, the 6 port is a better option in my opinion. More stock port space, higher compression but still not enough to be considered "High". The car is real drivable not much worse then a N/A 6 port with the actuators removed.
Lots of pictures taken today. Ill get that battery relocation write up done soon.
