cquence 350 [Z]: Couple of friendly pointers.

1) Looks like your heat-wrap is marginal at best. Put a couple more layers on those wires, and MAKE SURE to change those plastic zip-ties to safety wire. The zip ties will melt in no at all.

2) It looks like your PS line is in jeopardy of melting against the oil line/exhuast housing on the driver side. That line needs to be loosened and moved as far away as possible, and then double heat wrap that as well. At least three TT's oweners have melted that line and ended up with tons of PS fluid on the floor.

3) After he does all the heat wrapping and rerouting, I can't stress enough how important it is to go back and triple check everything. It gets incredibily hot down there, and everything even remotely close to those turbos, oil lines, etc...needs to be securely heat wrapped. Oh, and heatwrap the starter housing as well...it's plastic, and will also melt. And even after the install is complete, it'sa good idea to crawl under your car periodically to check for heat damage.


Good Luck man!

 

Ya I used to live down there. My parents still down there so I go down there once in awhile. I will pm you sometime and we can go for a ride and take some pics.

 

I agree with GQ.... the heat wrap needs to have a litle more coverage... think about the bad things that could happen when your driving if fuel leaks out and meets up with red hot turbo metal... or if you loose power steering.... that would be enough to convince me..

But anyway.... conrats on install.. hope everything comes out great...

 

i want a ride too.. i wanna feel what 320+ whp feels like heheh

 

Is that the new Oil pan Greddy is sending out, or is that an option? Does it hold any more oil or is it just like stock?

Make sure to check that PSF line! Mine rubbed through and like GQ said, I had a huge mess on my hands. I had to cut the line out and replace it with a rubber hose. Luckly that's the return from the rack so it's not pressureized.

 

That is the new Greddy oil pan. I think it does hold more oil cause you can tell the difference in size. This one hangs lower than the stock oil pans. Ya I am goin today to check up on it and ask the installer to double check that nothing is close to the turbos. Thanks guys

 

is that SMA?? if so what was the price of install?? and how much did you get the turbo for.

 

No its not SMA. Its Midnight Performance. They are in Rancho Cordova. They do a good job and it was like 1500 to install. thats including dynotuning and all the gauges and stuff.

 

Hay GQ look studs on the turbos

 

you already got my advice from the other forum. Hope all turns out well

 

my car also wore thru the power steering line on the passenger side. I was able to get the pipe out without removing anything else, then we welded over the hole and ground it smooth... then I was able to get the pipe back in 100% how it was... and we also safty wired a peace of goodrich blue hose over the pipe to help protect it... and we bent it away from the turbo.
