I wouldn't even hesitate to let stratified tune my car. They are some of the smartest and most knowledgable tuners in our market.

Hey Frank. Not to thread jack, but how are hose mounts coming along?

Not much I can do until ford restocks them in september

Not a sight most are used to seeing from under their fist

Need to log that WGDC and send it to me, full pull in 3rd gear

But either way, your tuner will have to build a new wastegate map for ya soon just this time, he'll have to reduce WGDC instead of adding it.

Do you want to see the current or the new one once the new wastegate is on? Also Bryan, is that our Turbo or the T19?

 

[re-rx7]

That's that T19 I believe.

Hey 15Perf. Just a question, or 2. How much boost max are you seeing on 93 & E30 respectively. Just trying to figure out what I can expect out of the cyborg. I'm waiting for a new wastegate actuator as its only holding boost to 23.5psi. Thanks in advance.

As of right now, I am not done tuning, but I did a 3rd gear pull today and I seen 24.15 on the AP on E30 and the car feels like a monster man, 2nd gear is awesome, 3rd is even more fun lol. 93 I only have a base tune but it is set on 23PSI now. I am guessing 25 or so for 93. and maybe 26 or so for E30. You should easily be up to 25-26 at minimum for maximum power.

Some tuners ( ok, only one ), have been lazy about adjusting boost maps ( wgdc ) for customers. So.... I went to a higher spring load on the wastegates. This video shows that it takes 19-20psi to crack the seat of the wastegate flapper now. This doe not really mean that your always going to run a min of 20psi at the upper end of the scale. But it does mean you will always see at least 20psi peaks, no matter the Ecu boost setting or wgdc.

It can be adjusted even higher to require 29psi to even crack the wastegate flapper.

Hopefully I will be able to get 25psi out of this with a good tune on 93 octane. I just installed my FMIC charge pipes and peak boost went up to 23.9 psi. Car still puts a smile on my face and it's not even fully tuned on 93. Can't wait to see what she does on E-30 and eventual E-30 meth combo. Let me know when mine is ready Bryan.

This has probably been answered in this thread but that's a lot of pages to go through. So I'd just like to ask how many people installed this themselves? I've never done a turbo swap on a car but I'll be damned if I'm paying anyone to do this for me for more than the price of the turbo itself. I have access to a lift but I have to install in one day. So I was wondering how long it took to change and how hard the removal and replacement is? Any little tips to make this go faster? I'll be doing all the work myself and with the help of my wife.

If you have the heat shields off, and the right tools, no more than 4-6 hours. Remove intake, battery, battery tray, and cowl. Tool list I use for turbo:

1/4" ratchet
3/4" ratchet
Breaker bar
13mm deep socket (1/4" and 3/4") = exhaust manifold (9x)
5/8" socket = water banjo bolts (2x)
Assorted torx bits and star sockets (E7 star, not necessary, but useful)
Various extensions
6mm socket = stock intake clamps
8mm (or 10mm) socket = Oil Feed
1/4" wrench and T25 (?) = Oil Return
Big bucket to catch coolant
Kitty litter
I can't recall what the stock downpipe bolt size is or the heat shields.

Anyway, once the downpipe is undone, and coolant lines are off and drained, get the manifold bolts off. Once the manifold and turbo are free, rotate the passenger side down, and you can pull the whole thing out the top. I believe that's everything.

Damn, thanks for that reply. I'll take a screen shot of that to keep with me the day I do it. I'll also be doing the downpipe at the same time because I figured it'd be easier to do all at once. My only other questions are what did you use to top off the oils and did you move the car up and down on a lift or did you get it just high enough to slide under?

A 10mm socket for heatshield and 11mm for downpipe.

I had my car on jack stands, and stood on a wheel/tire to pull the turbo out. For oil, run what you got.. You won't lose much. You'll need to replace about half of your coolant, though.

Anyone have a link to the "how to" I made a long time ago?
Also, some of the 13mm nuts on the turbine and exhaust manifold are actually 1/2". 13mm may work, but 1/2 is better.

3/8 ratchet not 3/4 lol

Potayto, potahto. A little part of me was saying "that's not right." But I didn't know why.

Just sent money for my cyborg! Pumped to say the least!
