Ba N/a To Turbo Help?

[FairlaneG]

Hi Guys ,

My first post here,

I have just recently picked up some bits of ebay off of an BA xr6T. Such as intake manifold,fuel rail with turbo injectors,turbo manifold,turbo,engine loom,STD intercooler & piping Ohh and what I am guessing is some thing to do with water cooling pipe work. With the intention to turbo my 05 fairlane Ghia... I have really no idea what is needed but am mechanicially minded , I have a few questions that I would appreciate some answers too. Maybe more to come lol

1, Where to tap in to feed oil to the turbo & the oil line out does that go into the sump?? "is it a turbo oil switch the inline feed to turbo taps in from there?

2.ECU?? Will the std ecu be able to be remaped . Will car start to drive it to get it tuned??

3.Water pipe work "Its kind of far from streight it has lots of 90 Degree bends to it... what n where does that go "heating pipwork??"

4.Do I need bigger fuel pump

5.will the STD "N/A" ECU even let their be booste on first start up after I have bolted on all this new gear...

6. Will a Bf std exhaust fit my car?

I may have left out some things here but if you guys can fill in the blanks, that would be gold

Thanks Regards Dan

1. Get a earls inline filter and install it with the factory oil pressure switch

2. Burr

3. Burr

4. I would put one

5. Burr

6. Yes,, are you talking turbo or na?

go loost at stock turbo in a car yard and take pics

will require map sensor and other bits and peices

it will start but wont last long as the turbo injectors flow more

Pretty sure the std injectors are the same on the n/a and Turbo engine.

You will need 2 turbo engine specific metal coolant (heater) pipes plus the 2 water lines that connect to the turbocharger. One of the coolant water pipes runs along the block on the turbo side just below the welsh plugs, this one has a pipe brazed to it just after the water pump which then connects to the outer turbo coolant pipe with a 2inch hose. The other coolant pipe runs under the inlet manifold and plumbs into the thermostat housing, this also has a pipe brazed on it just under the thermostat housing which then connects to the inner turbo coolant pipe with a 2inch hose.

Turbo oil supply is obtained just under the inlet manifold near the front of the block. I would presume the atmo engine also has the oil pressure there as well, this is where you get oil to the turbo from and you will also need the oil line from the sender to the turbocharger.

You will also need to drill and tap your sump and get an oil return line from the turbo to the sump.

Forget the atmo ECU and get your hands on a turbo ecu.

Do you have an electronic boost controller? You will also need a loom for you boost controller as well. This boost controller can not be controlled by the atmo ECU as the tables are not there.

Im not sure if the fuel pumps are the same but I would think they are.

I have a bunch of bits left over from my car like both water lines and turbo oil feed line, I was going to put them on ebay if you want them let me know.

Thanks Guys for your Input....

Stee3, The water in/Out I just opted to tap into heater hose near fire wall (Inlet) & for water out I opted to tap under the thermostat housing... I was going to get the xr6 STD pipes but got over that thought as I had other things I needed to sorce.Oil feed in, I just engeneered A Brass T with hydrolic hose from oil switch to turbo...Sump I Tapped that with a M8 thread & A 16mm hole.

I have no ecu or no electronic booste controller....I was thinking maybe add the extra loom & switch/solinoide as I have xr6t engine loom (Not hot side but the 26 or so switch one) but then Im thinking there are no relays in the engine fuse box for this controll???? So whats peoples thoughts on controlling my boost?? "Electronic?? xr6ecu?? Manual (bleed valve) And if one but not the other why?? whats the pro's & cons??thanks...

I have the xr6t fuel rail so im thinking the regulator is higher psi , yer?? STD 24p injectors STD fuel pump should see this go ok?

1 other question I have besides the boost/turbo controll is.......The Map 2 sensor I got of xr6t engine loom I wired that up the same as old switch,im under the thought that it has to be reverse wired in, is this correct?

Stee3 could you please inbox your number in relation to some parts you have left over , I am after piping for the intercooler , Trans cooler, ecu/hot side loom maybe? havn't worked that out quiet yet-lol , n yer other bits n peices relevent for my set up thanks

I have standard xr6 turbo exhaust if you want it and a few other mods. If you want the exhaust 50 bucks that includes dump pipe to tip, intercoolers, turbo piping and crossover, xr6 turbo clutch 2nd still good only changed due to mods) ,aftermarket boost controller

If I was you I would check if I had the boost solernoid cable behind the fuse box. the same plug as the power steering or injector. You might have to remove fuse box because cable might be taped up in an awkward spot. The cable isnt all there you have to get xr6 turbo computer and passengers side boost cable

If you do it the standard way your boost is more controller able. Your tuner can adjust the boost over the rev range and the other great thing is if anyone borrows your car or any thing they can't play with boost levels
