So I've been playing with DSM's for years but I'm not great at keeping a build journal to show progress, things I've changed or upgraded. So this is where that's gonna change and I'll use this journal to show my progress with my car and any changes I make. So I'm gonna start with my turbo upgrade as that's one of the things I'm doing this year as well as a lot of other intersting things.
So this is my car.
So lets begin.......This year I'm switching turbos and going from a fp3586 to a fp3788 or 6466 in the pte nomenclature. My fp3586 got a little too hot from a sudden lean issue(WG line came loose) and this basicly started the melting process of my inconel exhaust wheel which put the turbo shaft grossly out of balance, this took place at the end of summer 2014. So not knowing the extent of the damage done in 2014, I ran the turbo again in 2015 with boost in the 40psi range and at that boost, shaft speeds will be in excess of 100,000rpm and at that rpm the shaft is pretty much like a piece of spagetti flopping around in the housing. Well that beat the gas seal fit out of my CHRA which caused a huge boost leak that was migrating out and into my engine and out my catch can. Sooooo that was ultimately the demise of my 3586 as there's an excepted leak threshold and I was 3 times the limit and with the fits bad unable to install new gas seals. Really sucked cause the turbo was mint besides that, I was planning on just replacing the exh whaeel, re-balance and good to go, not the case. So Mike at Fp gave me the deal of a life time IMO on a new Fp3788 which is what they were selling their 6466 as.
This 3788(6466) has an HTZ wheel and not the HTA, which I have in the description
So the compessor inducer is 64mm exducer is 88mm and turbine is 72.6mm inducer and 66.3mm exducer with a hp rating of 925 with flow potential in the 90+lbs/min range. I'm picking the turbo up this weekend and I'll upload so pics when I do. The hot side is their(fp).85ar T3 housing and thatrs hanging off a punishment racing turbo mani which I just wrapped with DEI heat wrap last night.
Finally got around to doing this to my engine harness and wow it's pretty labour intensive. The finished product will be a lot easier to manage and let me get rid of the mess the PO (of the wiring harness) did and eliminate all the cracked and dry rotted wires.
So this is what I accomplished after half a days work. Now my plan is to install it in the car and lay out everything so i can get an accurate length then solder the pig tails back on.
Thankfully I've got a FSM volume 2 electrical, its been very helpfull. I don't recommend doing this for the first time without one.
