I will not be going with a megasquirt nor a moates or ostrich. Not sure when I will swap to a 7730 if ever. I shall see how it runs on the factory computer first before trying something else. I have proven however it will run with the factory computer. Idle anyways.

I @$$ume you have plans to iteratively tune it and you're not expecting that tune to be spot on right out of the box...Shaun41178(2) wrote:its a custom prom by Ryan at Sinister performance

Re: My NEW turbo setup
My crossover follows the same route as a stock crossover. I am a le to use 2 of the factory crossover heatshields and the third just needs a slight tweak to make work because of the expansion joint.
I will post up more pics shortly showing more details

Re: My NEW turbo setup
Damn, perfect crossover. I mean it's not equal length and still uses factory manifolds, but for what it is it couldn't be any better. Very nicely designed and implemented.

Re: My NEW turbo setup
Ditto; looks very well packaged.
A donut would have made it a good bit easier to make that tight bend at the turbo connection.
Do you have any other brackets supporting the turbo?

Re: My NEW turbo setup
I don't have any brackets supporting the turbo right now but it won't be hard to make one real quick. I just haven't gotten around to it yet. I am also running a rear TGP manifold. Basically the TGP manifolds are just like the stock v6 fiero logs. The both point towards the transmission allowing for a crossover pipe to be used. The TGP manifolds share the same bolt pattern as the 3400 and 3500 heads.
i used the flanges from the TGP crossover, and modified a pair of 3400 crossover pipes to make my crossover. here are a couple more pics of it.

Re: My NEW turbo setup
Here is what I did for the coolant. Since my intake didn't have any sort of thermostat housing provision, I had to come up with something else. There were already two holes drilled in the intake for cooling in these locations. I drilled two more on the other side and added AN fittings.
I fabbed up a canister of sorts to fit where the stock Gas tank evap can was located. I used a Moroso screw on cap to fill my coolant system and made sure it was the highest point in the system. I welded on one -12 AN fitting to run to my heater core line, and out the bottom is the hose feeding the drivers side hard coolant pipe that runs to the radiator. I elminated the crossover coolant tube that runs on the backside of the engine in a stock v6.
Then I used pushloc hose and fittings and ran it to the fittings on the intake manifold.

Re: My NEW turbo setup
Braided -3 oil feed and a braided -10 return. i am also running a remote oil filter. The oil feed was "T"d off of the oil pressure sensor location which you can see in the pic below in the upper right corner
I picked one of these up off ebay to use on the oil feed side of the turbo. it just bolts right on.

This for the oil return.
