Custom Turbo Setup

Lankolf · May 1st, 2008, 07:12 PM

nope, so far I only have one turbo. I'll find the other one though, I'm in no hurry.

I'll probably need 20 bucks to cover the cost of the turbo, and then shipping and handling, but I'll PM you when I get the numbers figured out. Speaking of which, Onemanzu, you gonna PM your contact info so I can get your headers?

shit dude, totally forgot, i will grab a box from work on saturday, weigh it all and get you a shipping price on monday when i go to UPS... sorry, totally spaced it... this week and next week are pretty fucking intense at school

No biggy man, thanks

Hey wade, check out your PM inbox.

wadepetersen · May 2nd, 2008, 10:01 PM

checked and i no i said you didnt take pics but if you could that would be great

Lankolf · May 3rd, 2008, 02:58 PM

I'll take pictures in a few. It's basically the same as mine, but it's water cooled and has the manifold and exhaust still attached.

wadepetersen · May 3rd, 2008, 03:43 PM

alright cool

I got an idea the other day, maybe it's crazy, but I think it's rather smart if it works, but I thought I'd talk to you guys first and see what you all think. I've been on the lookout for an oil cooler(little radiator that cools oil), but I'm getting so many damn radiators stuffed under my car (radiator, a/c, intercooler) that I'm starting to worry about room. Now as we all know, it's a good idea to keep a turbo's oil cool. Thus a oil cooler. Well, I was thinking, my car is a five speed manual, and thus there are no tranny lines. Therefore, if I were to get a radiator that supported tranny lines, I could run oil through it rather than tranny fluid. If my assumption is correct, this would keep the oil cool and eliminate the need for additional parts (except it would need a radiator out of an automatic). How's the idea sound, stupid or smart?

On another note, I was observing my turbo pretty closely and realized it is water cooled

Also, I've been studying what piping methods have worked for other people and I'm starting to get a feel for what I want my turbo set up to look like. I'm going to move my battery to my trunk to make room in my engine bay, and I have some ideas going on in my head that I think just might work without too much fabby to the body. Let's also note, I'm $45 USD into this project, but just to be fair I'll double all values in my guide because not everybody has the same resources I have. In fact most do not

wadepetersen · May 7th, 2008, 01:54 PM

your idea seams to make some what some sense but im not sure on what you were saying for all of it
and thats good your geting our pipes figured out and i plan on sending you a check friday.sorry i didnt do it sooner i just had to make sure i had money for the week

Onemanzu · May 7th, 2008, 03:12 PM

your going to run a transmission on engine oil...

uhh...

no.

you wont have many coolers going on, it will be fine you can always have them down in front, you wont have any issues with intercooler/ radiators

MWWarlord · May 7th, 2008, 06:03 PM

No he doesn't want to run his transmission on engine oil. He wants a radiator than cools tansmission fluid, but instead of running his transmission lines through it, he's gonna run oil for the turbo. The only things that confuse me are a) I thought that oil for the turbo was self contained in the turbo (but I could be wrong) and b)If the turbo he has is already water cooled why does he need to further cool the oil?

Lankolf · May 7th, 2008, 07:47 PM

Because I don't think you can cool them too much, but maybe I'm wrong

As for self contained, I don't think so, it had a line running from the oil lines, and then an outlet leading to the oil pan on the original Saab, and not only that, but a turbo would quickly burn up self contained oil if it were all stored in that tiny thing, or at least that's my impression. As for the running oil through the radiator, I suppose I'll try it and see, I can't imagine why it wouldn't work. Chris, would you care to chime in please? You're the leading expert on this sort of thing.

Wadepeterson, no problem man, take as much time as you need

Lankolf · May 10th, 2008, 03:11 AM

Can I use injectors off of a 5.0? I want bigger injectors after I install the turbo, but it's not a must.

Onemanzu · May 10th, 2008, 08:38 PM

i don't believe so... but you might be able too... i would just go with anything off an OBD2 engine just to be one the safe side, then you have to tune the injectors into the cars parameters

Ok, thanks OMZ
