man , you have SKILLS. great job.

 

Thanks for the compliments guys! This thing would be done weeks ago if I wasnt so lazy/busy/tired..... hah anyways what do you get when you combine a flange, a peice of box tube, some cage cromemolly and some random fittings?

Bam! This sh*t box right here, the ultimate turbo drain tank








I'll get some more interesting pics soon but I havent been up to much lately on this project.
Heres a 5s stroker bottom we built the other day. Mmmm tastey!




Later guys.

 

Nice drain tank. I had problems with the turbo and oil getting into the compressor after the car was shut off. With some help from members on here we concluded that I needed a drain tank. It is now installed and no problems. My is a bit simpler do to my turbo being low to begin with. It's a piece of 1.5" stainless tubing. For flange bolts I drilled straight through and sleeved it with some 1/2" tubing. It's a bout 150ml.








Is that a breather you got on top? Can't think of any other reason for it. I thought about putting one in but it doesn't look like I need it.

BTW, Power Fist FTW.

 

I love how you sleeved the bolt holes, good idea man. Yes it is a vent tube,it will plug in to the side of the catch can im building right now, next will be the fuel system. Man I need to finish this car.

edit: Hah ya every time I walk into PA I'm suckered into buying things I dont even need but "could" find a use for. Power First FTW!

 

Straight to a catch can, hmmmm that is a good idea. Something to look into I guess. I know when I was questioning everything I built while having the oil inside the turbine/compressor housing, I hooked up a "T" with a boost/vac gauge between the turbo drain and the scavenge pump. I wanted to make sure that my scavenge pump was able to keep up with the oil supply. Thinking that I am having too much oil going to the turbo. To my suprise, even when the oil pressure was at 100psi, the scavenge pump was pulling -10hg of vacuum on the gauge. So theoretically it whould keep the crankcase under vacuum as well.

Interesting. As far as Princess Auto goes, I have yet to walk out of there without spending $50. they get me every time. Good place to buy T-bolt clamps as well.

 

Nice to see someone using a rod bolt stretch gauge.....doin' it the proper way!

 

Updates?

 

+1. I believe it was finished a while back though.

 

was this ever finished?
