Thanks I will let you know when i see some type of leak. Also where the leaks come from so i could keep on eye on it.
Thanks. Do they have a Mil-spec shaft seal for the 74 diamante TB. I know they have it for the evo. Not sure if they are universal.
Thanks guys for post. I will keep you guys update. Today Dion and I are ready to give it some more love. Hope today we finish bolting on the trani with clutch and install new hubs and axles. And do some more tests fitting for Radiator, intercooler, fix bumper, mount brackets and place for the oil coolers, mount the fuel pressure regulator; mount the tru-boost gauge and oil temp gauge. Also measure SS lines lengths to buy the final parts. More pic coming soon. .
I believe the evo seals fit the diamante throttle body with slight modification. I'll wait for silvertune to chime in for clarification since he actually rebuilt my throttle body.
The 74 throttle body uses a unique shaft seal diameter, to get the Evo seals in there you have to machine the bores in the housing out. Your method for doing so may be up to you, you just have to make sure you don't make it too big or the seals won't do anything for you, but big enough so that when you press them in you don't crimp the case on the seal. The nice thing is the 74 shaft is bigger than the 72 shaft so the Evo shaft seals fit even tighter. Mine was holding 45 pounds of pressure after two years of use when I was retesting my system after this latest season.
^ thanks. Ones the engine breaks in. I will test for leaks and change the seals
Update some pics check first post by date. We where going to install the trani and drop the engine on sat. But i was missing the throw out bearing clip, and i need new flywheel bolts since last one where a little bad for some reason.
The inner diameter on 10an swivel for the oil return looks awfully small and the feed fitting looks like it doesnt have a restrictor The reason im saying this is that these garrett turbos are very picky about their oiling. Too much oil and the seals will blow, not enough drainage and the seals are shot again.
I hope you did a research on the turbo to find out what psi it needs to see on cols start, idle, cruise and wot. These things matter when you do the balance shaft delete, because it gets some crazy oil pressures. Which reminds me - did you port the valve relief hole on the oil filter housing.
I have a -10 oil return for and a -4 for feed. A lot of people are running a -3 An for the feed and they have no problem on this type of turbo. They are running crazy boots also. I did my research on the turbo and the proper oil it needs for my boost levels goals. -12 for return is over kill if i'm not making more than 550WHP.
For the oil housing did not find anything about porting the release valve with a balance shaft delete. I'm using a evo 9 oil housing it has a better design than the old models. I will look in to that.
I just looked at my 12an push lock oil drain and it measured 15.6mm ID which isnt alot. That 10an swivel doesnt look any bigger than 10-12mm ID. I'd look into the oil drain setup for this particular turbo again.
Let me know what you find.
Most people are using the oil filter "restrictor" with -4 depending on the oil pressure. The only way to find out is to test the oil pressure. I will have to wait to see the oil pressure while the engine is running. If is too much oil pressure i will increase the oil drain to a -12
update pic.
If you guys ever need this information. This is for people looking AN fittings for the evo 8-9 oil filter housing i made this pic with the right sizes.
