AGP L2R installed!!!!!

[L2RTSiAWD]

As many people on here know I sold my mutt and bought a AGP L2R Dual-Ball-Bearing GT Turbo. It has a T04B Compressore housing with a Garret GT 54lb per min Compressor wheel and a Ported Mitsu Housing with a Garret GT30 Turbine Wheel.

Support is local for me. Ben and Kevin are great. Hell I got my turbo delivered to me and he even brought me a new turbo to manifold bolt after I stripped one . A special thanks goes out to Rob(Black95GSX) for driving up from Tuscon to help me out. Thanks Man!!!!

Install was easy it uses all the stock water lines (which I had to revert back to) and it gets the oil feed from the block(less pressure) and comes with a K&N Billet filter so the BB center cartridge doesn't get any foriegn materials in it.

After the turbo was installed I fired it up and no leaks so we go for a test drive. First run in second gear turbo spools so quickly then I hit 15 psi(just for right now) I shift to third and the IC pipe connected to the turbo blows off . Pull over. Fix it. Get on the road. 2 more runs car is pulling so crazy, then the IC pipe blows off again.Guess it's time for a T-bolt clamp. I will post more impressions after I fix this IC pipe but so far this thing is a monster at only 15psi. I found out while fixing my IC pipe the oil drain is leaking at the connection to the pan guess I need a little more RTV

Heh, you put in your new AGP and I put in a new Green. I'm thinking I might have the same problems as you with the lower I/C piping. We'll see. I'll be checking it out in a hour or so. Just woke up . I guess your not MuttedTSIAWD anymore hehe Good luck with your new setup ..i'm sure it will be balls to the wall.

 

[Ludachris]

Yeah, does that mean we have to call you AGPeedTSiAWD now?

 

[Tevenor]

Sounds like a beast! Enjoy. Hehhehe.

Well except for the fact the word "Peed" would be in my username.

 

[Tevenor]

Can your friends call you "Peed-off"?

 

[G-Ell]

Yeh, I'd be "Peed" too if my innercooler pipes kept blowing off.

I know it sucks so bad I can't spool or tune this bad-boy until I get a T-bolt clamp or try to double clamp it.

 

[G-Ell]

You using silicone connectors? I should show you the clamps I'm using. You need a 14m socket to tighten these boys.

Oh, make sure to clean off all the oil really good from the pipes (you probably knew that already).

Just wanted to let you know that NAPA sells t bolt clamps for under $3.00 each.

I will be buying all t-bolt when I pick up a frontmount.

 

[b00sted99-X]

yup NAPA is where i got mine, i'm using these big guns on my buschur 2.25" UICP and they're still a tad bit too big (gotta ratchet them down a whole lot) but they do the job and are like $2.60 apiece

NAPA part number 705-1531, knock yourself out

 

[L2RTSiAWD]

There is no oil on the pipe and I am using a good silicone coupler. Thanks for the part number and location. I will get at couple after work.

 

[BerZerk]

Keep us posted!!

 

[KenTSIII]

NAPA doesn't carry the ones that neck down enough for the turbo outlet.

 

[KenTSIII]

Now you have to change your name from muttedtsiawd to AGPedtsiawd!

 

[L2RTSiAWD]

It could even be a 3inch clamp and I could tighten down more. I just need something thicker that will hold better.

Sounds like a major personal problem. Maybe a pump is needed? Maybe a bit of Viagra?

 

[L2RTSiAWD]

Lol Very funny.:laugh:
But seriously who can reccomend a better clamp.

 

[Tevenor]

Are you using a socket to clamp down the clamps or a screw driver? Don't use a screwdriver. Use the socket. I have spiked to 20psi and run 16psi on a 14b and never blown a pipe after I started to socket the clamps on.

 

[L2RTSiAWD]

It's hard to get to but I will try a socket. I'm using a screwdriver now. I ran 20psi on my mutt and never blew an IC pipe.

 

[Z1500]

I've got the right sized T-bolts in stock. I'll bring you one tonight.

[L2RTSiAWD]

Damn!!! Kevin is the man as if you all didn't know already. I'll call
I get home at 7:00pm. I'll call you. Or you can drop it off if your near my house before that.

Just for informations sake incase someone is searching later. Constant torque clamps work just as good if not better than T-bolts. The have just as much clamping force but one calmp can cover a wider range of diameters unlike the Tbolts.
