Stupid questions about BT build I am considering.

[I Love Brownies]

sounds like a plan so mid september?

[irishking03]

Im thinking I might get the 3076 BT and buy the external wastegate turbine housing. Thinking I might do that.. Still up in the air.

[I Love Brownies]

do it thats what im doing this weekend! it should be an easy install

Doooo iiiiiiiit! I would have gone that route if I had some more monies but, for my goals, iwg and stock mani is fine for now

[irishking03]

Screw it Im doing it. I think I am going to buy the Wastegate first.. Just for shits a giggles.

1. WG
2. External WG Turbine Housing
3. TIP
4. MANI
5. GT3076 Turbo

Theres the list in order on how I'm gonna do this shit.

Still need to get injector seals, MBC, Bigger MAF Housing, RMM and probably a newer coupler for the turbo to inlet piping...

(Sorry for jacking your thread) Im pumped now..

[frodaddyweez]

Hell yeah! As long as youre buying a BT, its not thread jacking.

Now who else needs some motivation...

Figured I would do WG first so I have something to look at and say to myself, Oh shit I need the rest of the setup.

mbc makes tuning a hell of alot easier on bt builds

Guess I'll Have to throw that on the list as well. Should be an easy $3500 for this build.. Can fucking wait. Do you know what the gt3076 will give as far as WHP not crank..

I'm hoping for 380-400 whp. Brian 2 years ago made 380 something whp and with the advances in tuning it should be fairly simple to replicate that.

From what I've seen there's also 3071's making around 380 and cruzito I believe his username is made over 400 (iirc near 420) at 22 psi on 3076

[I Love Brownies]

well i will be dynoing next friday on my set up with e-85 and no meth so it will give you an idea for what you guys hould be expecting. hopefully i can run 23-25 psi without any knock. im hoping for around 420 or so

[rfinkle2]

It doesn't matter either way, but I can tune a car to get it running @ least with any bcs.

Eventually, one might want to tune the car on a dyno, but I could @ least get things going if someone needed help with a 3" inlet maf curve, and the remainder of the tables in ATR.

[irishking03]

Cool..

[frodaddyweez]

Shit, I'd be happy as hell with just 350whp on the stock mani and some e85 if I have to

[I Love Brownies]

here is the link to my build guys. should be updated throughout the week with car pron and finished product by the weekend.

Teh time haz come (ms307nm) bt build

hahah i just love wrenching on cars. shits a blast. once you do this swap it becomes and addiction. every swap has it challenges but thats what i like about it.

[IshiKage]

ive gotten to where i hate wrenching on this car but maybe the excitement will come back when i go BT.

did Lenny include a list of parts needing to be bought in order to go BT in his thread...been a min since i have last read it

i dont know if he did or not i forgot. if you need a list of parts i bought all my shit and its going to be a direct drop in just like the atp kits

let me know and i will send you my list with all the links

[IshiKage]

can you pm it to be, please? thanks, bro

oh. im going iwg. have a list for that? are its pretty much plug and play. outside of porting the wg

[I Love Brownies]

everything im going to be doing is a direct drop in. no fabbing oil or coolant lines. the only thing i have to fab is a screamer pipe. and bend one oil line used from my old ko4. even with the drop in kits you have to do this.

i will show how to do that in my bt build

Yes. Please be detailed on the oil line part. That's the only thing I'm worried about.

[I Love Brownies]

ok will do captain.

[frodaddyweez]

Is there a break in procedure for installing a new turbo? Like once you get everything back together, don't you have to cycle oil through it by turning the engine over for a bit before starting it? And do you have to baby it for 500 miles or something like that?

[I Love Brownies]

im going wot once i get my tune.

[RayRay]

Fuck! Eric will go WOT out of the damn garage!

fuck yes man you will love it. i finally got everything in. i posted all my pics in my bt build thread :phillyb:

[frodaddyweez]

Just got my turbo in today. Looks beastly. Also it looks like the oil line already has a rubber hose attached to it. Damn, this is really looking to be plug and play

Haha that's ur coolant egr line. pm me if you need any help

[frodaddyweez]

Lol gotcha. I'm gonna pay attention to all the lines I'm removing when I'm taking the stocker off. But I will take you up on your offer.

[mayer]

I have a few questions that fall under the category of this thread title. So I hope it's ok for a short thread-jack. I'm going BT in a couple of months and this is the parts/setup I'm going with:
ATP GT3071R IWG bolt on kit (ported)
Steedspeed Mani
COBB FMIC V2
CP-E 4" inlet pipe
CP-E Xcel nano 3" SRI
CP-E injector seals
Autotech internals

I have DP, RMM, BPV, ITV22 already.

First of all, any thoughts regarding the setup? Something else I should need? Except for a tune...

Second, is there any of the lines in the bolt on kit that are necessary to change to like steel braided or something? I know one line has to be bent but this doesn't seem like a problem for most of you guys, right? Any lines or couplers or other stuff from the bolt on kit that is nice to replace with something better?

Third and final, I never got a hang of what happend to the turbo bracket that was made in Lennys thread. Does this have to be done or how do you other guys support the turbo from underneath? Never heard of this since that thread.

Very thankful for your answers. Hoping to get this thing installed in about two months from now...

Thanks again,
Jonatan

[I Love Brownies]

@mayer when you are doing your swap you will need a slight extension or a 45* coupler to come off the turbo to reach the hot pipe. the compressor housing on the 3076 and 3071 turbo is shorter then the k04 one causing the change.

also about that brace the only time in my opinion to use that brace is when someone has a tubular manifold such as pg or dnp cause they arnt strong enough to support the weight of the turbo and will crack. since you are rocking the ss mani or even the stock manifold you will have no problem with that thing cracking or breaking.

other then that your list looks money man. let me know if you have anymore questions.

[frodaddyweez]

No worries man. That's what this thread is for.

Only other thing I really think you would need would be a silicon extension for the hot pipe to the intercooler to the BT since the outlet sits lower.

Edit: bah he beat me to it

Thanks. Yeah kinda forgot to mention the extension parts, but that i have read about and will be getting as well. For the Cobb FMIC, what couplers do I need exactly? 45* 2-2,5" reducer? Anything else?

And nothing with the bolt on kit that should be replaced? No crap hoses that I should change to steel braided with AN-fittings or something?
If so, thats great
Did you wrap all the hoses to/from the turbo with high temp tape or what parts did you wrap?

What new gaskets do I need? From what I can see, the SS mani doesn't come with a new one. And the turbo doesn't either? I think I'm going to change those two and also the DP-one, while I'm down there...

Thanks a million times

[I Love Brownies]

@mayer you can resuse all the stock gaskets if you like. i had to buy a turbo to manifold gasket from mazda cause my car was missing on and that cost me 30 dollars. as far as the cobb fmic goes i think that 45* 2.2.5 reducer coupler coming off the turbo should work but we have only tested it with the cx racing kit.

i didnt heat rap any of the lines as the lines atp sends are plenty stout to handle the heat.

also you dont have to replace any other lines with stainless steel lines. the only thing i had to wrap with high temp heat was the power steering lines cause my ewg dump tube kinda points in that direction.

[dsmluck]

3076 should be arriving at my house shortly thanks to JP@edgeautosport.com. Just need to get the turbo to hot pipe connection squared away and I SHOULD be ready to go. I will pick up a DO7 nozzle shortly.

I have decided to stay with an MBC but need advice. Right now on the K04 I have a JoeP and it works great. Should I reuse it for the 3076 or should I get a halman instead?

[I Love Brownies]

halman are the shit. either that or a grimmspeed.
