dear Dr. Boost...
 

Thanks for the turbo. I ripped off that tiny little .48 exhaust housing and put my .63 on it. I will celebrate by posting video of a huge burnout. For now, i'll post pictures.

Just waiting for the outlet pipe to come in the mail now. ;D

??? :P

must you copy everything about my whip stan.......

Re:dear Dr. Boost...
 

Hey, I had a .63/.60 before your project was finished. :P

Re:dear Dr. Boost...
 

we need to race

Re:dear Dr. Boost...
 

you need a clutch first :P

Re:dear Dr. Boost...
 

i got 20 on teg :)

Re:dear Dr. Boost...
 

Hmm, it'd be a fair race.

2000 civic hatch vs. 2000 coupe
b18b@8psi with forged internals and a clutch vs. b16a@12psi, no clutch and stock internals.

Anyways, on with the pics.

Re:dear Dr. Boost...
 

:P not right now, i'd be lucky net a high 13 on 13 psi, slippage owns me :-\

Celebrate the new turbo by having a beer.. best beer ever.

Just waiting for the outlet pipe to come so I can start to boost. I started it up and the ------- thing is smoking. I have the worst luck with turbos burning oil.. no idea why, my oil lines are mint, oil return is awesome.. but it smokes. I trust dr.boost, he said it the turbo was mint, and I tested the shaft play and it was fine. So I guess the next step is to put an oil restricter inline with the oil feed line. It's not smoking much though, so that's good.

I have a b16 oil pump, you guys think the pressure is too high for the turbo? Dr. boost said it wasn't smoking for him and he had it running without an oil restricter on a d16z6 (whatever those run for oil pressure, i assume my b16 oil pump runs higher pressure?)

damn bitch, same car, same turbo, same bov, same wg, you tried to copy my ecu too with my uberfuckable datalogging port, but mines a p05 bitch, i got you!! how'd you mount your radio down there? i don't think it's the oil pump, b/c if that was the case, every b16 would have that problem ;) could just be burning out some of the old oil/dirt and causing it to smoke. i told you a million times to use a ------- wg flange to make your outlet pipe off the turbo, you don't trust me? :P nice mbc, you keep a flat head with you?

Re:dear Dr. Boost...
 

Your oil feed line is ------- huge man!

Switch to -3an it I bet it won't smoke anymore... otherwise try the restrictor.

Matt

Re:dear Dr. Boost...
 

it looks like -4an, that's what i use, i've never had any problems :-\ looks like boost took ya for a ride stan, he needed some quick cash to fly up to ct to get ass raped by hotpex 8)

Re:dear Dr. Boost...
 

Try Steath's ball valve.That's what I got but I have it open all the way since I'm only getting 15-20 psi when my engine is warm. I don't think Dr. Boost had a prob with it smoking because the z6 puts out a lower amount of oil pressure.

Re:dear Dr. Boost...
 

or just fix this problem ;D

Re:dear Dr. Boost...
 

I took the oil return line off the pan and oil was pouring out of the fitting. I'm guess the turbo is fine, but it couldn't get the oil out fast enough. What I don't understand is that this return fitting is at the very top of the pan, why would the oil level be above that?

I let it drain out then put the oil line back on. Now it stopped smoking because it can get the oil back to the pan. But the dip stick only reads 1/2 now. ???

Moral of the story: dr.boost says it's a good turbo, then it's a good turbo. ;D

Stan

Re:dear Dr. Boost...
 

haha.. radio? well well well mr. copy cat, wouldn't you like to know?!?! It's a cup holder out of a 96-98 civic.
btw, my datalogging port is the original and don't you forget it. ;D

Got a head for sale cheap?? ;)

Re:dear Dr. Boost...
 

Something has to up with your oil lines or it might be your motor(rings?). That turbo was not smoking on my car. I have a DOHC ZC, not a Z6. The other turbo I have has so much shaftplay the blades hit the compressor housing and it doesn't smoke. If you want I'll take that turbo back and pay for the shipping, but I'm sure it's a good turbo. :-\

Let me know......

Re:dear Dr. Boost...
 

I already posted what the problem was... the oil line is above my return so i had to drain some of the oil. sheesh, read the whole topic. ;D

Re:dear Dr. Boost...
 

teg if you dont have an oil gauge it might be wise to see how high your oil pressure is. Mine was over 100 at WOT and driving around once it got warm. Got the restrictor and it dropped to 10-15psi on idle and goest up to 50psi-70psi in idle. Last thing I wanna see is ur seals f'ing up on you.

Re:dear Dr. Boost...
 

Nice looking setup though dude. ;)

Re:dear Dr. Boost...
 

do the rock away, lean back, repeat x3

Re:dear Dr. Boost...
 

what are you going to do with the .48 housing? i've got a .63/.60 that i'd like to to a .48/.60.

Re:dear Dr. Boost...
 

same here, i have a .63.60 that i'd like to experiment with w/ a .48 housing.

Re:dear Dr. Boost...
 

I dunno, it's sitting on my desk as a paper weight at the moment.

Stan

Re:dear Dr. Boost...
 

so why would you from a smaller compressor housing to a larger one?

Re:dear Dr. Boost...
