My new car!

LOL, yeah, I did.

I could test the solenoids, but I really don't want to buy new ones just when I know they will probably fail again. IMO sequential just leads to more problems, although it's a better performing system than non-sequential. Although, sequential does allow for slightly more peak horsepower.

your car doesn't need the solenoids......

they don't help it pass emissions and emissions tests require a cat, so other than blowing clean the solenoids just WAY over complicate things

Its funny how many people think they actually do anything other than divert air from one place to another.

You do know solenoids control the ENTIRE twin turbo sequential system on an FD, right? They do more than help pass emissions. I don't care about emissions either, I live in Larimer county, so I don't have any.

It's a common problem for the factory solenoids to fail on the FD, which causes systems within the seq twin turbo sys to fail and the system to not operate properly.

What I was getting at was for you to go single haha

Ahhh, I get ya now LOL.

Yes, I am planning on the single turbo, I just want to do it right so I need to save up the cash. Complete fuel system, clutch/flywheel, electronic boost controller, and then obviously the turbo system.

I'm looking at the Borg Warner S366XL turbo as my main option.

My car has a Borg Warner, best turbo around plus they are loud and you can actually hear them over open wastegate on a rotary haha

Damn! Can you make a video so we can hear? Will it be at the B-Bash?

My car is taken apart right now, just YouTube a video for Borg Warner turbo sound or watch the video on the last page of the green fc tapping the wall drifting.

Awesome turbo but I was going to try my to4r next session

I am on the fence for the following turbos:

Borg Warner S366XL
-Pros: Cheap, good, reliable turbo. Twin scroll, lots of airflow.
-Cons: Not ball bearing, 3.5" v-band turbine discharge which makes finding a downpipe more difficult

Precision 6762 Billet
-Pros: Ball bearing, reliable, billet compressor, ported shroud, ultra quick response and high horsepower potential
-Cons: Very expensive, limited availability (they do make a non-ball bearing version for $800 less...)

Option 3

Trade Precision 6762 Billet turbo to Eric for his 500R-SP

LOL I ordered my turbo from A-Spec and then I saw that people had billet compressor wheels and I was trying to get them to change my order but it would have taken WAY longer and I just didn't want to wait that long. Maybe next time I need it rebuilt...maybe next deployment for the hell of it HAHA.

Seriously though, I heard those things spool super quick. I wouldn't mind getting the TiAL turbine shroud either, but being pricy, expensive and not available for my turbo makes it a no-go lol.

You should have a downpipe built anyway, buying one is stupid because you will pay too much

chickenwafer · Postby **chickenwafer** » Wed Aug 11, 2010 9:14

Haha Eric, get your own billet turbo!!!! LOLz. They are hard to get right now...and I've heard nothing but rave reviews about the Precision billet turbos.

And Change, I plan on building my own downpipe. A 3.5" v-band flange is more expensive, and then I need a transition piece from 3.5-3" as well since I can not fabricate that. It just makes it more expensive.

I know the EVO guys love that Precision billet turbo, I haven't really heard of too many others using it...although I haven't really been paying attention either.

Zico and I built my DP for my first single setup. It was kind of a pain since we didn't have a proper power source for the welder and it would just suck the power down to where it would stop working haha. So all we could do is make a piece, tack weld it, drive across town to their shop to finish welding it, drive back across town to my apartment and tack the next piece, drive back across town to weld it...but with a proper shop with a proper power source for the welder, it should be fine HAHAHA.

Haha I have a 220v MIG welder, so I don't have to worry about that. I can lay fat beads all day long without issue. They aren't the prettiest welds, since I'm welding flux core right now without gas, but they're strong.

I want to get a welder and learn how to do all that, but I just keep forgetting about it. I tried to learn a bit from a girl that worked in the metals shop when I was deployed back in '05, but it was in a blown-up hangar (provided by us 10 years earlier btw HAHA) that had horrible lighting and I couldn't see a thing, especially with the helmet on. So...that was the last time I tried.

My new car!
