Flatboys rear turbo build

That is a lot of work. I have the same space with my hitch and I want to do something about it.

Why didn't you move the hitch higher? Maybe even in the rear bumper?

I thought about bringing it up but she ended this way. Not sure if I'm 100 percent happy with it but no biggy, now you know what not to do lol.

Im pretty sure you can just unbolt it and flip it over. You just have to notch like a 1"x3" section out of the stock bumper. I think 4runningdaily did it.
 
So I've been driving her with no muffler since the summer, and promised the wife I'd do that up this weekend, er last weekend, so this is how the muffler project turned out.











 



this is where I drilled the holes to mount the pump. Now you gota watch out drilling these holes as just underneath a 1/2" or so is your windshield washer tank, and it don't want a hole drilled in it.



I cut down the screws that came with the Snow kit about 3/8" or so



these next 2 measurements set this tank with about 1/4" clearance to the hood heat/noise insulation.



 
I had been having some problems parking her at a angle, with the back end lower oil was leaking in the turbo. My oil feed to the turbo came off the sandwich plate adapter I installed with the oil filter relocation kit. This kit was lower than the oil pan, and the scavenging pump was what I believe still pushing oil in the turbo.

I redid the feed source to the turbo as below,




when I removed this plug I didn't have any fitting that would fit in there, its some kind of 3/8" npt metric thread thingy, so after welding a 1/4" an adapter to the wrong side, it finished off like this



 
Also monkeyed with bov a bit.

The one shown in the pics is a Turbonetics Raptor which was not doing anything, locked solid. I picked up a new Duo35 but that thing uses only a vacuum source(one hose only) and was steadly open and making the ecu have a fit.

It blew off nicely but she ran like crap, so took it all back off and running nothing again. All back to normal ish.


and that's pretty much how the muffler project went this weekend.
 
As she sits today



This is the coldest she has seen, tonight its supposed to get even colder....






got a friend coming over tonight to help wire the Snow kit, can't wait for :bolt:
 
I definitely have different taste than you, but I dig your fabrication skills.

Your style of modification is uh.... unique!
 
Thanks for the comments guys, no worries on tastes lol its all fun stuff, I change my mind like my underwear.

It is quieter than the open pipe at the turbo, plus you can hear some spooling noise better too, but its still pretty loud that's for sure. Once I start tuning the meth, I'll pull the discs and cap off and compare the performance and see where its more drivable.

a video or two is on my list of to do's too.
 
So I had gotten a bit of oil in my intake, and decided to redo my pump system set up.


Added a 2 psi 4an Summit check valve to the pressure feed going into the turbo




made a small sump and increased the drain size from 8an to 10an





also after reading more about these scavenging pumps it looks like they work better with the pump end down, which also made the pump lower than the turbo drain and that is good too.

Hoping next week to get my shift kit installed:lookout:


thanks for looking and have a Happy New Year!
