untubbed_20 Posted September 22, 2011 Report Posted September 22, 2011 What you had a 2530??? Cause was just out playing in the shed and I thought for s&g's I'd put the magnet on the rear wheel and she not magnetic!!! So then I check where the tag normally is and nothing(in saying that it's a flimsy bit of steel held by one tiny tag). It seems to measure right on the inducer and exducer diam(did they make a bush bearing ceramic wheel/shaft one)Do I feck it off and buy a new Garrett?? Or am I just panicking? Oh e85 um well um maybe. Could sort of be the reason for the external gate. But still not sure on fuel, I do have another choice but I'm keeping that one quiet. Stu. Yeh i had a 2530 on my 5k motor 10yrs ago, cost me $2500 secondhand back then, was worth it as all garrets offerings where shithouse back then, a lot different now however, i still have it to put on my 4agte Really looking forward to seeing your build cheers darren Quote

kickn5k Posted October 14, 2011 Author Report Posted October 14, 2011 lOVE IT! Wow its rough at idle, never seen a engine move that much :laff: That's a broken engine mount for ya!!' Locked dizzy(28deg of timing) blower cam and rich idle tune. I had to tune it rich at idle because it had so much timing it would run really hot at perfect lambda reading. I told you they had s$&ty commentary Stu. Quote
Spencer[RL] Posted October 14, 2011 Report Posted October 14, 2011 when you say locked SC, you mean no clutch ? I also locked mine. Yours spins up pretty fast. Quote
kickn5k Posted October 14, 2011 Author Report Posted October 14, 2011 when you say locked SC, you mean no clutch ? I also locked mine. Yours spins up pretty fast. Yeah no clutch. I made the pulley on the CnC to use a STD type bearing with vbelt. I then ground out the rivets on the hub bolt and used them to bolt it to the pulley. Stu. Quote
Spencer[RL] Posted October 14, 2011 Report Posted October 14, 2011 (edited) I did waayyyyyyyyy more dodgy . Hard to explain but I'll chuck some pics up tomorrow , you'll laugh...Some real backyard engineering .. Edit: Progress on turbo? Edited October 14, 2011 by Spencer Quote
nerfbat Posted October 15, 2011 Report Posted October 15, 2011 (edited) I'm following this one with interest, Stu. tis a sweet build, mate and love those vids..! keep them coming :-) Edited October 15, 2011 by nerfbat Quote
YLD 10S Posted October 15, 2011 Report Posted October 15, 2011 Wow! Your re-living my 5k 'pipe-dreams' with the turbo setup haha, if its your daily stay pump fuel though, but if its not, HELLO E85 ! Oh and your 5K-ZE setup is finally getting installed in a couple of weeks, I'll let you know what kind of power it makes etc etc. Quote

Oh and your 5K-ZE setup is finally getting installed in a couple of weeks, I'll let you know what kind of power it makes etc etc. Yeah e85 is really only an injector change and retune. But for the most part I'd really like to see the max limit of pump fuel first. I'll mostly run 98 for road duties and change to e85 for racing. Glad to hear the old setup will be given a workout soon!! If you need to know anything about it while you putting on, I'm sure my phone number is in our PM conversation. Just give me a call and ill happily talk you through any issues. Stu. Quote
Taz_Rx Posted October 16, 2011 Report Posted October 16, 2011 Actuators are cheap, about $80 or something for a 18psi one, easier than piss farting around for no gain. this thing will fly..I'd half think about putting a .48 T25G exhaust housing on it, thats what i wanted to do to mine just never got around to it Tried this on the weekend, the bb cores are bigger and the .49 doesn't fit! Quote
kickn5k Posted October 16, 2011 Author Report Posted October 16, 2011 Tried this on the weekend, the bb cores are bigger and the .49 doesn't fit! Dang. I think the .64 should be ok seeing as it's a bb not a bushy. It still should be reasonably punchy. You could machine it to fit. Stu. Quote
Taz_Rx Posted October 17, 2011 Report Posted October 17, 2011 You could machine it to fit. I did think that, but you'll go nearly half way through the T25G bolt holes by the time you machined it out enough. The .49 will fit on a S14 T28, but not the S15. Quote
