Would work pretty good except one thing........... the tube needs to protrudeinto the exhaust so the exhaust air isn't running past the hole which would acutally force air in or have no flow at all for the PCV. You need the tube in the exhaust stream so the exhaust goes up and around it and as it goes past it it will pull the pcv air with it, which is what creates the suction, thats draws air from the tubing.

Umm not so sure about that Heefner Whoa whats with the bad views on the ball bearing units You can get ball bearing unit that are made specifically for upto 250 HP upto 300HP and so on and so on. YOU don't have to run a ball bearing unit at max PSI for it not to fail from oil starvation or need a race car to use a ballbearing unit. Think about it your gonna get enough oil pressure to feed it at only 3000+ RPMS don't have to romp on it to make it stay alive haha thats hilarious. http://www.turbobygarrett.com/turbobygarre...0R_466541_1.htm A buddy of mine running that on his 22RE celica at only 8PSI and it still running good..no oil starvation haha. He said now it breaks the tires free instantly when given the throttle, spools is about 1000 RPMs quicker. THis is compared to the CT20 which is a little itty bitty turbo and pretty crudy stock.

Hey Boosted_One are you talking about the Magnacore Race Wires or Magnecor ELECTROSPORTS Series? Which ones are you using?

Okay I'll remeber that for next time I have to set my valve lash. For the meantime so I can feel safe about my recent valve lash adjustings, when your at TDC and adjusting the rocker arm does the cam lobe face directly opposite of the rocker arm??

Hmm well the thing is I have no tools where I am at to turn the engine over manually while looking at it. I unplug the distributor and just tap the key to crnak it over till the lob of the cam is farthest away from the rocker arm. Is this an okay method?? Just want to make sure thats the lobe to rocker position it needs to be at for valve lash adjusting.

No reponses :roll: without checking for TDC or BDC cna I just point the cam lobes away from rocker arm and be okay adjusting them at that point farthest from the lobe??

I found something funny when doing my valve lash... well only when I just crank the engine over a bit to get the lobes 180 degrees from the rocker arms instead of setting TDC or BDC. But when the lobe on the cam gets almost 90 degrees from the rocker arm it measures allot looser then when the lobe on the cam is 180 degrees, facing away from the rocker arm. Why is that?? Ohhh yea just to make sure when you adjust the valve lash you want the lobe pointing 180 degrees away from the rocker arm right??

Richie_Rich you speak complete truth. I was just saying how there beneficial not neccesary. I would have no doubt in building an engine that had no oil squirters. I wouldn't just throw out a block cause it didn't have oil squiters. If you had two blocks in front of me of course I would pick the oil squirted one, just would not limit myself cause of it.

I'd have to disagrre about the piston oil squirters. I know its better to have them, bu tnot every turbo engine has these stock. There are many turbo engines that run allot of boost and power that don't even have these. Just like nitraded cranks its better to have but doens't make or break it unless you putting out huge and outrageous numbers. :wink:

Hahah sounds like Artinist has some doubt With a really worked over head and good intake thats very possible. I would have to think its MPI, well I don't really know how well the TBI flow, so I just might be wrong. :?

Ahh I stand corrected thanks for the slip-up fix Fixed what I wrote...doh :wink:

Yea I'll try to keeo you guys up to date. Right now I am waiting for my forged CP pistons from LC engineering. The bottom end is getting rebuilt right now for future boost. Head is still good and low mileage, and I will limit boost to under 10lbs with just the stock EFI, SAFC 2, and bigger injectors. Then a few more months down the road I'm getting a standalone, head rebuilt(O/S valves and hogged out), and then I can up the boost to around 12lbs of boost. Now some of you might think "JUST 12lbs", well with a big cam, a high flowing head, and 8.5:1, the amount of air getting into the cylinders is gonna sky rocket my cylinder pressure up. Which is good and bad cause I'm gonna make allot of power for such low boost because of the amount of fuel and air jammed in there from the flow of the head and cam, but detonation can also be a little trickier at the same time. Allot of guys think you need more boost to solve the"not-enough power" syndrome, but that not the case. Most people have to run more boost to overcome the flow capacity of their head. If you can make the air go in and out easier you can use less boost to make the same amount of power And lower boost levels are good cause its quicker to build up then having to wait for 20lbs to build up, ya see. Old school thought is to use smaller cams and small ports for Turbos to get them to spool faster and be more efficient. But more and more of these old school thoughts are being disproven. The turboes now-a-days havew ball bearing sleeves and such and are designed allotbetter to make boost allot quicker. Don't use more boost to over come head and cam deficiencies.

Well the main point for this combination is for a bigger cam not higher compression. The bigger cam is what gonna make more power not the higher compression. With a smaller cam and say 10lbs of boost your only getting so much air. If you can run a bigger cam with still 10lbs of boost your gonna get allot more air into that engine which will make more power. Its def. a balancing act of components I am building up a 22RE right now and I wanted a big cam, but to run a big cam you need higher compression otherwsie you not gonna have much for cylinder pressure and it would run like a dog. I plan on running around 11 - 12lbs of boost on a 285°(255 @.050" Duration). On about 8.5:1. Along with a stage 5 ported head. This will net me at least 340horse all on just 11lbs of boost. You need a big cam and head to get enough air in to make that kinda of power with only 11lbs. But along with that you need decent compression to start with.

Yea the whole thing with a "smaller" pulley is that it will gain ALLOT in the low RPMS but once it gets up there rpm wise it starts to become massively ineffiecient. But in your case thats when you bypass it and turn the boost duty over to the turbo. SO technically you could go way "smaller" pulley wise, "smaller" than anyone just running a supercharger would ever consider, because you won't be running the supercharger higher then say 3000 or 4000 rpms. You would gain so much more with a "smaller" pulley more than you would think, go with a custom pulley cause no one is currently making a "small" enough pulley that is just for making making massive boost only up to around 3500-4000 RPMS. :twisted:
