Galant306m's turbo build

**bgood12** · 05-26-2012, 08:36 AM

Good luck man with the turbo. it sducks cause on one hand you want the a new turbo from mitsu but that like 2 grand and on other you are like wait I should be able to have this rebuilt no problem but people think they know what they are doing and might not. As a last resort try calling road race engineering and ask who they use to rebuild their turbos.

Precision always wants to kill you and get you to pay for a rebuild and new parts. They say oil contamination, but did they say what it is like bearing material or anything? Also, idk if you already have this but it may help to put a restrictor in the feed line from the oil filter housing as ball bearing turbos require less oil pressure, or just feed from the head as every dsm with a BB turbo I know feeds from the head and my best friend has run an FP3052 from the head for around 4 years and now runs a Precision 6776 the same way with no issues for thousands of miles.

True on the feed from head that 4g63 performance book says for ball bearings clean oil is especially important and to get max life use also an in line oil filter in the feed into the turbo as extra help for it.

Yea im going back to feeding from the head i had 0 issues when i was, never got the turbo out i have not had a ounce of time for the car but i did buy a bike which is paid for and not picked up lol

I really want to get this car up and running before my friend and i move out but with 70-80 hr weeks at work its really hard.

Plans for it atm
New rod bearings
Fix turbo
found a really rare item for the car that im going to buy
custom sway bars im going to make at work and have powder coated
custom aluminum rear control arms
custom aluminum solid motor mounts
lsd for the trans (winter)

Time to make this thread active again, everything set in place to get this thing running, crower 288/288 cams will be ordered this week
turbo NEEDS RUBILD STILL never actually got it done its gonna happen no for sure
upgrading my rod bearings and possible going to forge the shit out of my engine
4g63 oil block is a must to get the proper oiling to the turbo
this car will be on the road or in a scrap yard in 2013

lol lets hope for it being on the road. weird about the turbo. i used a sandwich adapter with a restricted fitting on the turbo and never had a problem.

Turbo is on its way to tampa as we speak for the rebuild, also bought a new oil pressure gauge and a oil filter spacer block. Going to buy rod bearings tonight.

Make sure you use a restrictor fitting on your turbo inlet

**Ivory8g** · 10-19-2012, 06:37 PM

Yea those damn precision turbos are picky about their oil pressure

**Galant306m** · 10-22-2012, 10:46 AM

Should have the turbo back by the end of the week which means the car should be running by next weekend give or take a few days depending on what parts i will need to get it running again.

You and Rob should both come dyno with me.

**Galant306m** · 10-22-2012, 11:01 AM

Pft im not driving my car that far lol and i dont have tahoe to tow it there lol. Not to mention I doubt that dyno would like 3 400+ whp cars dynoing right in a row HAHA

**Silvertune** · 10-22-2012, 11:53 AM

Excuses excuses. I watched 25 cars dyno on Saturday and most of them put down over 400whp. You should come do the same. I know I will so long as the tires don't fricken spin...
