I rarely if ever post anything and much rather act as a silent member but i figured id share my budget-minded build granted, I am a tuner at a race shop as well as tech.

SORRY low res pics/size, and being short on my info but ask away if anyone has questions

i got this original 87 TurboII back in Aug 2013 it had been sitting since 1995 when the owner thought they had blown the turbo i knew had to be engine related(failed apex seal)


after getting the car to the shop i pulled the engine as expected the rear rotor and housing was trashed




i Built a engine for the time being to run the car but i wanted more


prepping for power fc



during injector swap


i always liked the vmount arrangement plus would love to do track days one day




budget vmount start



i got a s6 uim port matched it to the s4 lim




mean while i was working on my street port engine











a meet i went to in my NA fc

here is the finished product for now


Street port(pinnapple template) s4 13B-T
3mm Ra classics
s4 rotors
8-Blade Holset HX35 16cm2 exhaust housing
Power Fc
750 primaries
1680 secondaries
3" corksport exhaust
50mm wastegate recir'd
Tcw-3 1oz/gal (like castor 927 but dont want any gummy deposits + i cant readily find it near me)
spec stage 3 clutch
walbro 255

my goal isnt big power but fun on the street and trackday at mid-ohio etc

 

Do you have any pics of how you attached the radiator?

 

Are you running a non turbo hood still? How is the radiator set up?

 

Yeah I can get some Pictures of the brackets And yes I am running a non-turbo Hood now I had the factory Turbo 2 Hood it's a steel one I swapped out for an aluminum non-turbo Hood

 

Since the time of the original post I swapped out to a GTX 35 And Hooked up the electronic boost controller setup from the power FC I now have a Ground control switch for the boost solenoid
here is a current Dyno graph of low and high boost

That's a video of low boost which is 8 PSI High boost is currently 13 PSI i tuned it Kind of conservative

 

Nice numbers. Pretty good HP for 13psi. I made 327whp@13psi on my gt35. Looks like your boost solenoid needs some adjusting though.

 

The power FC boost control solenoid setup it is kind of a Auto Logging Or Closed-loop Style Control for Boost, I think on top of the fact that I don't have the duty cycle set right yet. There is A factor that I'm only using one of the wastegate ports versus both For accurate boost control
