Porks bike carbs and boost project

[pork]

also im about to buy wideband sensor, lc1 innovate is right?

 

[MicrAde]

right, im thinkinjg of getting this, as seems ok, tdo4 from a saab, but it has the t2 flange so will bolt straight onto my manifold

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/td04-turb...les_CarParts_SM&hash=item19d892efb7#vi-ilComp

im on pc now, so if anyone can think of a reason why this is no good, please say to stop me making a bad purchase

Condition and mileage look good neil. Have you compared specs with your existing turbo?

 

[pork]

Can't really as I never found out what turbo mine was !?!

But it's a td04 with the right flange so it's the sort if thing I'm after

Dont Saab generally run pretty low boost anyway? That would defo make it suitable

That'll be fine, I like the look of the AEM one though

 

[pork]

Jus ordered LC-1

Hmmm, not sure what to do about this tubby tho. Don't wanna make a costly mistake

Think the wideband is defo vital! As I say, I'm pretty sure saab use low pressure turbo's, more to boost low/midrange rather than out and out performance so I reckon it'll be sound. Ffs dont buy it on my say so though!! lol

Nice one Pork! very easy to fit im calibrating mine on Thursday carnt wait to get some use out of it

 

[pork]

Well it's defo needed. Gotta know what's going in with this fuel.

Aaarrrrrggghh.

To buy or not to buy turbo, that is the question

 

[MicrAde]

Bouncing around wikipedia and Saab spec sites it appears that it will be off a B205E engined saab (150hp) and will probably use the lpt, boosting at 0.40 bar (5.8 psi)
Dont take this as gospel though, just trying to help a brother out! lol

 

[pork]

So it's all good then?

 

[MicrAde]

So it's all good then?

IF my research is correct then I would say yes, unless you want to run big boost? Though even then you may be able to change w/g actuator. Whats the worst that could happen?? lol

 

[MicrAde]

Including this one I have 7 tabs open on laptop right now researching this turbo! lol

 

[pork]

Haha, lets not go there and jinx myself.

Sod it, il buy it

 

[pork]

Hahah thanks mate! I promise you a blast in the car for all your input

 

[MicrAde]

Haha, lets not go there and jinx myself.

Because you want to, not because I've said so!

 

[MicrAde]

Hahah thanks mate! I promise you a blast in the car for all your input

Defiantly mate!

Bit to much reading for my phone lol

I've been putting it off all day, whether to buy or not, jus looking at some t17 turbos too

It's a minefield if you don't know what your looking for

 

[pork]

Right, I'm on eBay, do I or don't I buy this td04?

 

[MicrAde]

Right, I'm on eBay, do I or don't I buy this td04?

Final decision has to rest with you dude #copout! lol

 

[frank]

a 2.0 petrol tubby is gonna be pretty big neil, 2.0 diesel tubby,s tend to be about 2/3rds the size eh (and more suited to a 1.2 petrol tbh)

 

[pork]

**** ! I jus bought it lol

 

[MicrAde]

#### ! I jus bought it lol

ABORT! ABORT! ABORT!

 

[pork]

I can't!

 

[SirChris]

[pork]

Thus cane today

,

LC-1

Looks a bit complicated, have to have a proper look at how to fit it

 

[Skinner_87]

LC-1

Looks a bit complicated, have to have a proper look at how to fit it

The quick start up guide is quiet good mate, by the end of it you'll have:

One switched live (Red made up of the main power wire and the red wire of the LED)
One (yellow) signal wire to the ECU (which you can just tape up if your not usuing it)
One earth thats a combination of 5 wires you solder togeather if i remember right

 

[pork]

Sounds simple enough

Jus waiting on replacement turbo now, then gotta make exhaust up

 

[superls]

just out of interest mate, how much did you pay for the LC-1?

 

[pork]

£148 from t'bay, next day dekivery

 

[superls]

thats not bad, i paid over £200 for mine 18 months ago maybe a bit more, still unised and unopened in the box lol, but im keeping it no way im standing to loose £70-80 on it haha

 

[pork]

Well I'm hoping this will make things easier with tuning/fuelling issues.

 

[superls]

oh it definately will, you cant fault find and sort things out without first knowing whats going on

 

[pork]

Got bored waiting for stuff to be delivered and had a rethink,

So done this today,

Still got some more grinding to do, it's A LOT lighter than the other manifold, and less places for cracks to form with my novice welding.

C'mon turbo, should of been here today

Need it so I can make exhaust so I can plug this wideband kit in and see what the crack is with the fuel

 

[sr20bud]

nice work on the manifold mate

 

[frank]

looks great neil bit more enginebay room now eh

[SirChris]

[pork]

Thanks

Get a welder mate, I find its quite addictive, and wanna weld everything in sight!
I have to stop myself breaking things so I can weld them back up
