turbo aveo, just starting up
 

Hey guys,
Im a crossover from daewootech and aveo forum. Have a good amount of deployment money saved up and figured I wanna go for it. This site seems to have awesome info, so I wanted to get some opinions. Looking to run a t1544 on my stock manifold, one hole needs modifying and it bolts right up. The Injectors from the 3.4 impala/Monte carlo fit and are 360cc.. I have the #'s from a Daewoo guy to tune emanage. Sending a head of to get ported and polished in the next few weeks. I'm only aiming at 7-8 psi, good for 140-150. Biggest concern is the turbo has about an inch at the bottom even with the top of the oil pan, do I need an extra pump to avoid problems? Not asking if this is worth the money. I plan to do the labor, welding, and tuning myself using info from this site and the other 2, just looking if there is any immediate pointers.

Thanks!

My question refers to a scavage pump, sorry

Shouldn't be a problem as long as the line doesn't point upwards. Just to be on the safe side i'd keep the oil level to a minimum after mounting the turbo.

Shortest return line I've seen is on this guy's build

look for post 49.

Btw, you say you came over from daewootech. I see that doesn't work anymore, I was wondering if there could have been any info there about what injectors I could run on my 0.8 L Matiz. I'm gonna need them for stage two of my build so I might just start to look for them.

You will probably need a scavenge pump if you don't have a reasonable downhill run to the oil pan. This is a common problem with some aftermarket BMW turbo setups. You'll know for sure if the turbo generates lots of smoke.

Thanks! Just modified a walbro 255 to fit. I think I need to switch to a return style fuel setup, so I can run a manual fuel pressure regulator

yes, i think you should go with a return line. The Walbros can push lots of pressure and fuel,so it has to go back to the tank when you don't need it all.

The return line can be a bit smaller than the feed line.

Keep it up.

Welcome! I wonder if any bits from the Spark Turbo can be used on an Aveo?

Is that the 1.4t you speak of? Unfortunately its a completely new design, not much switches over

Still gathering parts, ordered an Alexi AFC neo piggyback
