Xtra Posted March 27, 2018 Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 For those pulling off your Turbos here's the recommended replacement parts list: Notes: - Ford does not offer a Turbo gasket kit, you have to use this parts list to develop your own... - Verify your quantities, we based ours on the what if concept... Thank you this is a real time saver as well as great info. My Turbos should be arriving soon then off to be tweaked. I will be able to get the replacement parts together so when the modified turbos return I will be ready to go. It should save me a few trips to the parts store. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highly recommend not installing those Turbos until U do the following N this order: Upgraded Intercooler Modified outlet (cold) pipe Replace BOV with Turbosmart BOV New base line tune with logs 2 refine Edited March 27, 2018 by snmjim 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I live in California my car has to pass very strict smog laws. This is why I had to pass on your turbos they would never pass smog here. My turbos will be very mild in comparison more like blueprinted with very light modification. I will keep all your info handy and I do intend to install your intercooler and cold pipe once available I will also take your advice and not install the turbos until after the intercooler.

Xtra Posted March 27, 2018 Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 (edited) Turbos arrived and I got photos of them, but have not seen them yet . Some understand that statement. It looks like one is missing a clamp. Edited March 27, 2018 by Xtra 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snmjim Posted March 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 (edited) Hey there Tom!!! Now that I know it's U...brain cramp... ...I'd do it for bragging rights... Special K just brought me up to speed and if it weren't 4 a non adjustable schedule conflict I'd love 2. I'll definitely take a rain check if possible and a little more notice would help between work and an active personal life. Besides, I'd like my faithful wing man there, Special K... Maybe find a track somewhere closer to between all of us...considering your coming from FL... We can at least meet at a track somewhere in VA or NC to ease your drive??? 135 miles for me to Atco.

037 Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 90 mile drive for me. Are you guys packing something special? Not worth paying unless there's hope you break something and I can record it on video. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xtra Posted March 29, 2018 Report Share Posted March 29, 2018 (edited) I was able to ship the turbos out to CTI http://www.ctiturbo.com today they will be there tomorrow and the work will begin on Friday. I expect a short turnaround of under 2 weeks. The main mod will be to the compressor turbine, it will be billet and larger than stock. The turbo case will be machined so the larger turbine will fit. Anticipated HP gain at the crank of 40 to 50 Hp with the stock tune. I was able to find a AWD Dyno shop http://www.ktmotoring.com they specialize in rice but will work with me. KT will data log the car and work with LMS to tune the car. This will allow me to run the car with a stock or custom tune. I wonder how much the car is going to make once finished. I was thinking of taking my car in before the work to establish a base. Completely stock then with the LMS V3 tune. This will tell me just how much I really gain. This endeavor is going to cost a bit. Dyno time is 150 for the first hr, 125 after that. The turbos were 275 each and the mods are 650 each so it adds up fast . And that does not include installation. A LMS V3 tune for 600 is a great deal and killer bang for the buck.

Randhj Posted March 29, 2018 Report Share Posted March 29, 2018 I think its definitely worth the money to the dyno results. I would say two separate runs minimum one before turbos (but with tune) and one after turbos and updated tune. If it were me I would be anal retentive and get a base line as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FYI, we're anticipating the IC outlet pipe 2 come available within the next 2-4 Wks and and CPe IC results sometime in April. Dammit! just realized I neglected to inform you to pull all lines and attaching hardware before shipping...

If those intercoolers will net me at least 0.2 seconds in the quarter I will probably be in for one...

WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted March 29, 2018 Report Share Posted March 29, 2018 It is good that LME will work with 3rd party dyno operators to finetune. Normally they are sticklers for working with known dyno equipment, i.e., their own, as they can monitor so much more data in their own shop.

You must be psychic .. What is the diameter of the IC outlet pipe approximately ?Sorry, didn't have time 2 dig out your answer but your answer is in this string: http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/21117-intercooler-sport/page-5 The new pipe we're developing maintains the stock IC outlet pipe diameter to the throttle body connection pipe. Therefore maintaining a consistent non restricted maximum air flow for the size of the IC outlet pipe. Here's a Pic of the prototype: Edited March 30, 2018 by snmjim 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xtra Posted March 30, 2018 Report Share Posted March 30, 2018 (edited) The new pipe we're developing maintains the stock IC outlet pipe diameter to the throttle body connection pipe. Therefore maintaining a consistent non restricted maximum air flow for the size of the IC outlet pipe. Does this mean that the pipe can be used with the stock intercooler as well ? As for the size, this is good, for if the pipe was oversized it would slow the air flow though it. Though a oversize pipe may flow more air, throttle response would suffer. It is important to maintain speed of air flow for good response. It sounds perfect I can't wait. Edited March 30, 2018 by Xtra 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
