Dear 53Willys,

something new here? Is the car still running fine. Are you shedule to make a dyno run? Are you running high boost now or still keep it smooth?

Best Regards
Clemens

well I have been driving lots...even tho I don't have it registered :oops:
it running VERY VERY strong...I'm hitting 20psi often..and all seems well

I'm still trying to be easy on it so all this 20psi has been slowly building it to 20psi...no full throttle hard hitting boost yet...honestly I'm still kinda scared :lol: :oops: I dont want to take the head off again...
it runs super cool now too...I love this little car.

the k24/k26 turbo is a little laggy but I really like how it pulls once it does lite off....

I'm tiring to find a cheap k14 for some compounds... :twisted:

oh yeah... I plan to dyno it this spring..
it should do really well...i think...it runs so nice..better then I even expected.

How fast do you think it is with that turbo? Like it should be really, really fast. Dutzy ran 13's with a k26

The 24/26 hybrid turbo seems to be great.

Just for kicks I swapped on a full 24 so I could compare the spool up time between the 2 and to tell ya the truth I could not tell a difference at all so I re installed the 24/26 turbo.
The hybrid turbo gives me lower EGT's at cruising speeds.

it for sure feels fast...but I have not drag raced enough to guess on a 1/4 mile time..
I will run it at the strip and dyno this spring....

I just finished mine too!!! The t3 gives a nice surpise too. No insta-boost by any standard but once it's there its THERE. It'll go over 20psi noooo problem. I'm having ussues with blowing the rubber lines to and from the LDA out. Need hose clamps for them :roll:
Can't wait to insure mine :twisted:
I already have a mini ski trip for the day it's insured.

I'd LOVE to one day add a k12 to mine. What a sweet built.

The port/polished aaz head and polished tdi intake on mine completely transformed the engine. It's a fast revving (it will get the rpm up quick) super easy breathing throaty beast now. IT sounds so nice. I can't wait to show you all a video. I wanna see a video of yours!

right on Eddy...and thanks!

I too have noticed a very free revving engine and nice spool times, and the EGT's seem really manageable..(my max is 1200* while railing on it up some hills)**Note** I am at 4500-5000 ft elevation so I do fight thin air and increased spool times a little more then you sea level guys..
But I really must say this little car is a blast!! it's really a mean running SOB!! it seems to really sound and enjoy the higher rpm ranges...it really sings..all the TIME and CASH is paying off now :twisted:

I will make a vid with some 0-60 runs and we can try to time it with the video cameras timer..

it's FAST and this clutch LOVES fast firm shifts...it's sweet.

one thing I may change is the hydro mounts....although they are nice for keeping idle vibs down...they seem to flex to much IMHO...My IC tubing is bouncing around are high power shifts.....

I also need to get my radio hooked up....I like the sound of the diesel....but I need some tunes too :lol:

we nee a video and picture area so we can all whore out our cars!

I wanna see spool up time in video with shots of the boost guage.

I wish I would have done that on my first build.

you should have seen my friends face when that gauge hit 40 psi! :shock:

Smokey Eddy · « **Reply #293 on:** February 03, 2009, 01:28:12 am »

40?!?!?!?!!
I was going to say i'd love to show a video of my gauge going dead when it blows the rubber line off hahaha

I'd much rather show a vid of my tach working. I've been putting some time and thought into it lately with the help of Vince.

the spool time of my t3 is actually so comical.

ok go! bbrrrrrrrrRRRRRRR wwwwwwwwooooooo (10 psi) WOOOOOOO( 20!) WWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!!!! (25+!!!) WOOOOOOSSHSHSHSHSHS!!!!! *shift*

Wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwoooooooooooooo(20) and so on. :roll:

UPDATE=K24/K26 is TOAST!!!

well tonight I blew my turbo up!! pushed the compressor wheel right into the compressor housing :evil:
sighhhhh...I was just thinking today how well this car has been running too!! oh well...new turbo/s for me!!!

so the next question is....
ball bearing turbo??...VNT Turbo?? or compounds?(k14 over a k26) :twisted:

dillenger1 · « **Reply #295 on:** February 16, 2009, 03:20:00 am »

Dang ! did it over speed?Id go vnt.

Smokey Eddy · « **Reply #296 on:** February 16, 2009, 03:44:15 am »

if you can, VNT, if you can't compound :twisted:

theman53 · « **Reply #297 on:** February 16, 2009, 05:18:38 am »

Any ideas as to why it grenaded? that sounds bad, I would like to see another VNT...mostly so the mechanical linkage bugs are all worked out when I want to do it

.

zukgod1 · « **Reply #298 on:** February 16, 2009, 06:57:33 am »

Mark let me know as soon as you know what you need as to parts.

If the bearings and shaft are ok I have another k26 compressor wheel I can drop off.

I also have a few bearings that are good.

53 willys · « **Reply #299 on:** February 16, 2009, 07:44:48 am »

hey thanks for your help Dan!! (as always!!! you have been a big help!)

I don't know why it went out???
maybe I did something wrong when I rebuilt it?? although I don't know what it could be since I did it just like the instructions from KKK said...

it went south om my way to work..(35miles from home) when I took the air filter off to check the shaft the shaft nut was about 5 turns from falling off and getting sucked into the compressor!!!

after a bunch of texting between Zukgod1 and I I decided to bypass the turbo and run it in NA mode....I left the oil line hooked up just in case the turbo was not completely done for..I wanted it to have some lube so I left the lines on..
by the time I babied the car home for 35 miles to my house I raised the hood to find the oil seal went on my way home and proceeded to pump oil into the compressor housing!!

good thing I bypassed my turbo!!! and runaway engine at 1:30 in the morning is NOT COOL!! lol

I would like to find a VNT-20..but what car did they come on?? where can I get a VNT-20?? I need it right now too!! other wise I'm gonna call industrial injection and get a turbo from them...or better yet get me a turbonitics Ball bearing turbo
:twisted:
