Fp turbo install

[CDgr97GSX]

Hi guys. I just bolt my Fp manifold and my Dsm82 turbo on my car and i want to be sure i'm doing the things right. I have the FP 14mm water fitting and i want to know if is good to use a hose to get coolant in my turbo. I don't see another way to hook my turbo to the factory water lines. Another thing i'm wandering about is if i should delete the factory oil line form filter used for my old turbo because i'm not gonna use it anymore...i'll use the head oil line from FP with FP oil filter. If i didn't explain good enough i'll make some pictures. Thanks!

Yes I believe hose is what you need for the coolant side. It is a barbed fitting correct? And yes you should delete the oil feed from the filter housing because if you use the head feed for the turbo and leave the other one there it will leak all over the ground... quickly...

just run the turbo from the oil filter housing instead of the head, even though fp recommends to run it from the head, i have ran mine from the oil filter housing for around six months now with no problem at all, just make sure you use the inline filter they have.

I have a small problem. My fuelab is not fitting with the hose i bought like a kit and i'm not sure how to fix it. Also i want to be sure i put the intercooler in the right way. Can someone help me out. Thanks!

Well clearly the fitting you have and the filter are different sizes. Call up where you bought the parts and let them know the discrepancy, they should have a solution. On the other hand the intercooler looks great!

No solution....they can't change it because i bought it long time ago...even i didn't use it....so i have to find a solution by myself. Also the wideband sensor from AEM is not working. I hate when new parts are bad...or i get other parts then i need. About the intercooler i'm not sure about the throttle body elbow pipe...if is like in the picture or not.

As long as you have the good adjustable clamps, the ones with the 11mm nut on them are very good. Wouldn't recommend hose clamps for that monster. Need more info on the fuelab. I'm guess its their filter and upgraded fuel feed lines that go to the fuel rail? They should be -6an lines.

I have the clamps from ETS i just didn't put it on because i put all the pipes together to see how everything is coming...and i'm still not sure i put the pipes in the right way and the intercooler is in the right height. The fitting for fuel filter is -06AN but the filter threads are bigger so i need some adaptors or something

I'll try to get the fittings so i can use the filter i have. I will be expensive and it will take some time to get them in Europe.

its a ball bearing turbo it does not get run from the OFH its just known fact. even if you have a restrictor there could be too much volume due to the oil pressure differences.

I'll run it from head...i have the Fp filter with a restrictor.

Everything looks great man!! Is the IC you have a whole kit or did you piece it all together from a universal kit? Either way it looks great!! Im just surprised (if it was all one kit) that it didnt come with a throttle body elbow instead of using the stock pewnie one!!

 

[shane90gsx]

Looks good to me. I think your piping looks good. And it looks like you have -4fitting on a -6 fitting.

I got the Russell pro classic kit, and a similar turbo set up. I don't know if these photos helps.

The whole kit from ETS. Is the race core with 3.5'' thickness. About the elbow...i had a look on internet and i think this is the way the kit is coming. I had my pipe with IAT sensor bung so i can run SD.

I think is -8AN on the filter and -06 lines. I'll measure them and see exactly so i can get the right fitting. The photos are very helpful. Thanks!

Now...i have to drill a hole in the intercooler pipe to run the vacuum for the boost controller....should i use a thread bard or welded one? And the water lines...i have the FP water banjo...should i use normal rubber hose...silicon hose or SS hose. I'm thinking it will be a lot of heat...and normal rubber will not hold long without a heat shield.

Just drill and tap the compressor cover for the boost source line.

 

[d1prospect]

looks like the upper pipe needs to be flipped. your iat sensor bung is in wrong area. shoulb be by firewall side

I'm not so sure i want to drill the compressor cover...i was thinking is much better to drill the pipe...much simple to replace it if is needed and should not be any difference...right?

I thought so...but i wasn't sure. Thanks a lot.

If you do it correctly, why would it need to be replaced?

Drill and tap it with a 1/8" NPT thread, screw in a barb nipple and get on down the road. If you ever don't need that pressure tap for some reason, you can just remove the bar and screw in a pipe plug.

Besides that, the compressor cover will have more meat on it for threads to grab than most intake pipes will. They are usually pretty thin and hard to keep a fitting in, unless you weld a bung to them.

Quick question guys...i did measure the filter thread size so i can get an adaptor and it's around 17.6 mm in the deepest point of the thread and around 19mm outside and the swivel is around 13 mm at the threads level. I just want to know for sure i need AN coupler swivel fitting from 8AN to 6AN. Thanks!
