1994 sho new guy going turbo.

[Michelle]

Yes, I am on BCM. I had Adam from Pops Racing out in the northeast remote tune it for me. Only running 7 pounds of boost.

Thats who i was planning on having tune mine too.you ran your maf blow through right?

 

[sho85]

Drilled out broken bolts on the manifolds header wrapped the y pipe and manifolds. But i forgot to weld on the wastegate ****** ohwell i wrapped the y pipe in sections so only have to undo like 2feet worth. Waiting on the oil pan bung being welded then i can put the pan on and the ypipe and manifolds then build the down pipe and hook it up to the stock exhaust.

Nice looking work.

Have you already checked clearance for the ABS stuff and rad hose and coil pack?

 

[Toolman]

This setup is similar to yours, running pipe behind subframe then up in front of trans.

 

[Toolman]

Clearance is not an issue when the ABS is deleted, and the ccrm and coil pack is moved.

 

[sho85]

Pulled my abs off.didnt want it or the extra weight. Yea i sort of copyed your ypipe ha.

 

[Dirk37]

I was working on making my y-pipe tonight based on your guys pictures, and I ran into an issue, how are you guys tightening the bolts holding the y-pipe to the front exhaust manifold? I played with it a bit and the pipe is always blocking access to the bolts. It looks like the only way is to stick a wrench above the sub frame from the front of the car.


Also where are you guys getting oil for the turbo from?

 

[Toolman]

Probably going to have to use and end wrench.

For oiling my turbo, I have an oil filter relocation sandwich with different ports on it. One feeds my turbo, one feeds one of my oil pressure gauges, and another my oil temp.

Also, other setups have used the stock oil pressure location ( near rear of engine, close to trans, you should be able to see it if you look past the hard coolant lines for the heater core) and teed off a turbo feed line.

 

[sho85]

I was just gonna tee off the factory oil pressure sensor. And yeah i pretty sure if i use a swivel i can tighten the front ypipe to.manifold bolts but using a wrench wouldnt be too bad either.
