ah true? thats handy, does the map do + pressure tho?
the bigger injectors/pump are not 100% necessary as you can bump up the fuel pressure with a rising rate FPR and just tweak the tune a little. if he is doing a stock internal build, then he wont be able to dump much more pressure in the cylinders anyway, so he can get away with stockies for a little while.
but yeah the oil lines and possibly water lines can be a touch tricky. my mate fitted a remote oil filter and ran the lines to and from that. water lines were just tapped into the heater hoses.
some turbs dont have water line tho.
Yeh the remote oil filter would work well, you can get a spacer to fit between the oil filter and its mounting surface too.
I am yet to turbo a V6, but i am planning to and have been reading up on it heaps. The oil return I would imaging could be tricky. You may have to remove the sump and drill a hole and tap it for a fitting for the hose to fit onto, I heard a rumor there might be a factory bung in the block and there could very well be one as the buick is used in the states for a factory turbo model. Anyway i will believe it when i see it.
There are lots of other pit falls to like putting one way valves in the PCV line so you dont pressurize the crank case and spew oil out of the gaskets.
Some people use L67 injectors ( 3800 v6 supercharged motor ) You might be able to use the factory ones, but I wouldn't advise it. The fastest way to kill an engine bar throwing sand in the oil cap is to lean it out. Put it this way, we had 4 hours of fun in my mates plus T Rb25de with facotry fuel pump and non turbo ECU before the engine bay was covered in more oil than the golf of mexico and running on 5 cylinders. Still dicked on my commy though
I would like to know if you can turbo ecotecs without a Map sensor, I dont see why you can't because turbo Rb's dont have a map and just a MAF. Well, welcome to the wonderful world of cars though. One thing that works on one car wont necessarily work on another.
