To be honest, I really thought this was just going to be another wannabe drifter build. It's the total opposite, some serious progress put into this build I see. Engine bay looks badass, something about that intercooler that I really like. Are you planning to upgrade the CT?

Hi Guys,
thanks for your comments...

Boost is going to hit hardNfast with that small a plenum volume.

Yes I think so, my goal is to get a fast response engine. For that reason there`s a XTD Flywheel and lightweight pulleys in the engine. I can feel a big improvement even I touch the throttle at idle. More to see after break in...

Hi, it`s a 600*300*100 Intercooler that means 4" thick... :naughty:

Why the knock off FPR?

I`m going to run a Lex AFM but first without bigger injectores. If I adjust the fuel pressure to 4,5bar I get a flow chart like a 520ccm Injector out of the OEM ones. Should be fine to about 400hp. I think about getting a 67-1 upgrade after brake in...

I don't get the OEM boost controller...

It`s a OEM VSV valve, i put in there. Because for now I`ll run without a wastegate, to get all the power out of the CT 26. So I can adjust from OEM boost to all the Ct can produce... Hoping for 1,2bar...

Now I`m going skiing until saturday...

I really wouldnt recomend pushing the stock ct that hard. Not only will you be forcing it to spin excessively fast and asking for something to go wrong, but at 18psi your way out of its efficiency range. All your going to be doing is forcing hot air into your engine and cutting the life of the turbo to a fraction of what it would be. .8-.9 bar is about the limit of the stock cts compressor efficiency range and pushed much beond that Iv seen several only last a few thousand miles. Two of which were catastrophic failures, they basically self destructed. I would spend the extra bit to a least go to a 57 trim if nothing else for peace of mind.

Just my two cents, Great build though :icon_bigg

fuel cut in first gear is gonna be fun...

I'v been there, first hard run after putting my temp motor in. The line popped off, hit like a freight train, broke the tires loose like it was nothing and I let off. I was thinking :love: for a near internally stock motor. Then I went again and wound up at a rodeo and knew right away what happened. :icon_bigg

Hi,
I don`t really care about my turbo, If it`s broken its broken... :nuts: I´m only going to run it a few hundred miles, until I save enough money to get a 67-1 upgrade.

Do you guys think I`ll hit fuel cut with the lex afm? I thougt I can run 18psi without fuelcut. And 18psi with a ct26 are not as strong as 18psi produced by a T70...

Hey u might want to reconsider putting the stock harmonic balancer back on or at least get a better quality unit..... but good stuff other than that

If the wastegate doesn't open at all, it will hit boost cut... If not in first, definately by 3rd...

I don`t think so, but I`ll see...

Hi, sorry, but I don`t know what a harmonic balancer is. Do you mean the fuel pulsation dampener?

Poodles;1259463 said:
nice catch, didn't notice the billet piece...

No dampener = dead bearings

And again, what do you mean with dampener?

Sorry for my bad english, but I`m trying to get better at the moment...

The "Crank Pulley", the stock one is more than just a pulley, its fully balanced and dampened to absorb the harmonic tones produced by the crankshaft at certain RPMs. Without it the resonance is transferred to the bearings and will trash them. You aluminum one is just a pulley, not a damper.

Thanks, now I got it.

A few of my buddy`s ran this pulley a few 10.000 miles and there`s no problem with the bearings yet.
This aluminium one weights only 1/10 of the oem pulley, so I`ts not that problem because of the unbalanced weight. And do you think a 22 year old oem one is better balanced than the new aluminium one? I don`t think so, because when the dampening material in the pulley is getting older it is getting harder, same like the hoses...

I talked to a lot of people before I mounted it, half of them said that it`s good and the others said it`s bad. So I decided to take the risk and try it.
