The reflash is all I need. I don't plan on pushing it past stock boost, and the only other performance mods I plan doing anytime soon are Clutch/Flywheel and maybe the Kinetix SSV. From what I understand the ECU should be able to adjust for the manifold. I'm going to let Speed Dreams test that theory, though.

 

Taurran, do you know if you have to get a reflash for a new flywheel? Unsure if its needed, just curious cause the engine would rev quicker.

 

No not for a flywheel....

 

Don't meen to hijack but I know the e.c.u. is flashed for 91 octane. I live in florida where we have 93....should I request a flash for 93 or will the e.c.u. adjust for it? I just want to be able to take advantage of the 93 octane if I can.

 

The ECU will automatically adjust for the higher octane by adding a little more timing back in. This was tested here in cali by running 100 octance. On the dyno the power keep comiong up pass after pass as the ECU adjusted for the higher octane gas. Over 10 RWHP gain just by doing that.

 

Thanks Mia, cant wait kit should be here in the next couple of days!! Mia, does the BOV sound differient with the horn part not connected? Better/worse?


Taurran, cant wait to see install pics! I will use them sort of like cliff notes so I will have a better grasp of things when installing my kit. Also lets us know of any run ins the installers come across to sort of give everybody else getting the kit a heads up!!

 

If you dont mind me asking, where did you guys got your kit at? Any recommendations to where should I get mine from? PM me if necessary.

Thanks!

 

It should sound the same as long as it vents to atmosphere.

 

AAM , Avalon Racing, or Hopup Racing.

 

So what is it for, looks?

 

Basically...the Raptor BOV can be set up to vent to atmosphere or to recirc the air. You can buy a fitting that basically screws on the end and is ribbed for your recirc hose. Rather then leaving the threads showing if you are not using it like that they provide a horn to make it look nice,..

 

Right. I asked Reggie if it made a difference and he said with or without, it sounds the same. The horn is just for looks.

 

alright, thanks. Maybe I should start a new thread but what about priming the turbo/oil feed line before the first start up? Is there a way to do it, is it needed?

 

No there is no need...As soon as the engine cranks the oil pump is feeding 60+PSI of oil into the lines. The feed line for the turbo is right at the stock oil pressure sender so oil gets to the turbine bearing at the same time if not faster then it gets to the stock engine internals. I do usually however prime the fuel system by switching the key to on before starting...

 

I got my kit over a week ago, but I am waiting on some stuff then I will be on it.


Also to the starter of the thread, congrats and I was surprised how heavy the Turbo is. Coming from Civic's I have seen and dealt with smaller turbo's

 

Also not meaning to jack, just to add














On top of that box is my special tool, THE GHETTO TRQ. WRENCH :meek: :mgrin:


























Turbonetics 60-1 Stage V ceramic ball bearing turbo (T3-T4 Hybrid) which is much bigger than most snails you will see on the streets and is pretty dang heavy :mgrin:

Gauges yo, well atleast two out to the three I ordered...

 

Yeah the turbo definitely is beefy. Where did you order yours from? Did it come directly from Turbonetics? They sent out the latest batch last week and most haven't received the kits yet. Was yours complete?

Grats and good luck with the kit.

EDIT: nice, missed the pics while I was posting.

 

FYI... the 60-1 is actually not a T3/t4 hybrid. It is more of a T4/huge compressor hybrid. The All 60-1s use a T4 turbine section and a customer compressor section. Text from Turbonetics webpage...

Representing the careful marriage of a unique high flow/high efficiency compressor section teamed up with a T4 turbine section the 60-1 has proven itself in every competitive motorsport application from drag racing to bonneville. Available with either the standard (4” inlet, 2.5” discharge) compressor housing or the 60-1 HI-FI ( 2 3/4” inlet, 2” discharge) compressor housing, the 60-1 will outflow any standard T04B with ease! (The 60-1 HI-FI will deliver approximately 90-95% of the flow capacity of the standard 60-1.)

 

augghhhhh .. quoting pics.

 

I chose to go with the AEM Wideband 02 and the Autometer Sport-Comp electronic boost gauge. The boost gauge is like MIA's, with a 15psi range. It's got a black face and silver bezel, and matches up perfectly. I'll post pics when they're installed.
