Flatboys rear turbo build

[Robb235]

I think it's time for some videos...

Have you had to tow anything since you've had the turbo on?

Also, where did you pick up the 0.08" restrictor for your oil feed?

Not sure how I missed all this, but welcome to the turbo club.

Thanks, turbos are fun!

I haven't towed anything, got a 93 cummins mildly warmed over for towing the kart trailer, and for the restrictor I took a an fitting and welded the end up then drilled a hole but I think ATP turbos sells restrictors.

Any chance you could take video of your scavenge pump running, but with engine off? I'm trying to get a feel for how much noise it makes. I've already ordered the same scavenge pump that you have, so I guess it's too late lol. But I'd still like to see if a video if you don't mind...

I really have no clue on uploading videos, but I'll see if my boy can give me a hand.

Speaking of videos, are you still thinking about prefabbing the turbo exhausts? I would be interested in buying on if so.

I'm in the same boat --only have iPhone no wifi at home
So no pics or videos

But I 6th the req for exhaust

Space reserved for pump video.






Crapy video but you get the idea. Pump is pretty quiet, you cant hear it when the engine is running, and when you shut it off you can barely hear it and a bit of vibration you can feel.

So finally got around to modifying the trailer hitch, not that I'm goina be pulling a trailer but I hated seeing the spare tire just sitting out in the open.



hmmm cant seem to get pics up from photobucket anymore.

For final sanding I always use a paper disc with the rubber back, you can pretend your a milling machine and get it deadly flat with this set up. Im not a fan of those flap discs as they are so easy to get the metal dished out and uneven.




now to go find the rest of the pics..............dam computers

 

[flatboy]

Some back up lights would be a good idea, with the windows tinted as dark as they are I'll admit backing up in the dark bites.

Last night I got some powder on the hitch, nice to finally get something back there. This is Eastwood 'Satin Black' color which is the same as my winter rims.







Next project is the Snow Performance boost cooler stage 2 pt#20010

As she sits today

 

[Robb235]

Return to the oil cap but I have a sweet cooler that's been on the shelf for years I might run it through after.

What fitting is that you use to return to the oil cap? You have a link by any chance?

It's a npt to an, can't remember the size but the same as the scavanging pump.

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?
