ITB's + GT32 = Fun!

[RBS14]

So some of you already know, but I've been building a turbo setup for the past few months.

Started it up for the first time last night, did a bit of idle smoothing today until my turbo started blowing oil into the exhaust. I'll pick up a pressure reducer tomorrow for my turbo feed line. Turbo is an AMS GT32 and i'm controlling it all with a Haltech E8 (which most of you already know).

Enough talking, more pics:

turbonetics mani and wastegate:


ITB's used to be attached to the intake mani like so:


They're now attached like so. Close up of new plenum too:


Inside of the plenum looks like this:


AMS GT32:


Downpipe:




wastegate dump tube: (I've since gotten much better at welding)

The whole shindig:






I'm dyno tuning it this week to get ready for an event next weekend. So I'll post up a dyno chart or two once I get that done. Even untuned it's still really responsive, like when it was n/a, but now it'll actually make some power. I'm not sure how much boost I'm gonna run yet, but the initial tune will prolly be for about 8psi. Then after the event next week I'll probably go back in and we can tune it up to maybe 1 bar or so. We'll see.

cheers
