Wow nice entrance what sort of power this going to be running...any pics if the car

 

Just awesome! Keep it up

 

Thanks, Might as well make my first post count. I just leave my camera in my car. More pictures will be uploaded when I get everything finished. Im shooting for 250 WHP. That is me being modest, it may or may not make more. But Im hoping for a reasonable number as to not be disappointed.

 

What turbo/suspension wheels etc is it running

 

K04 hybrid turbo. Megan racing coilovers and right now I have these rims

but they are 4 years old so I plan to change over to these

this summer.

 

Need pictures of the car up

 

Have you got more detailed specs of the hybrid turbo you had created?

Also, not sure if you mentioned before but are you going to be tuning with the stock ECU?

 

Dam thats quite an intro, welcome to MT.

 

Wow! Welcome to MT.

 

Looks a serious bit of kit....

Welcome to MT

 

Awesome intro. Welcome to mt
I also like the smell of wd40

 

Here is the info on the turbo. G-Pop Shop :: Uncategorized :: KKK Turbos

I will be using the stock ECU for tuning.

As for it ever being put together it isn't looking good. Victor Rinez is a PITA to get in the states. Maybe one of you fine gents could get one and send it to me? That would be awesome.

 

£474 now thats tempting. Is that exchange or for the whole thing? (Can't see that it says on the site there). You can send me one of those with a birthday card and in wrapping paper so our UK customs don't arse rape me then I will get you what you need from Victor Rinez... :lol:

 

They take your turbo and inspect it for damage. If the core is good they strip it and replace and modify everything and send it back.

 

Promising project, some good quality parts there.

My solution to carbon buildup.

So after reading through all the posts about catch cans and our PVC system I decided this is the easiest thing to do.

First I contacted CZAR and purchased to of the caps from him.

First I removed to hose from the crankcase to the manifold and put in the two caps.

Then I went to the local auto parts store and picked up a neoprene plug and a breather filter (to substitute till I can get an appropriate length hose to run under the car)

This is the end result.

I have a longer hose now so all the crankcase gasses are come out of the front port and away into the air under the car. Not in my motor at all. If any of you are worried that this may cause positive pressure in your valve cover or crank case it wont. This is why,

So after all this talk about the PCV system I decided to go grab my valve cover and do a little investigating. Thanks to CZAR for cutting apart one of his valve covers and taking a bunch of pictures (which I tactfully acquired), I can give an even more detailed explanation of what is going on.

Ok so first we have the underside of the valve cover. As you can see in the picture below there are two ways for air to enter/exit the valve cover. The orange circle is a one way valve that will only let air into the valve cover. The white rectangle is an open port that will let air in or out. Mainly this is for air extraction. The white is just a paper towel I stuffed in the port so it would be more visible in the picture.

This is a picture of the extraction area of the PCV system

Open and closed flaps on the intake side of the PCV system.

Some pictures of this baffle thing.

Now that you have seen all the components, I will try to explain how this whole thing works. I sacrificed my lungs and braincells for this, so enjoy.

1. Either the rear or front PCV port can use vacuum to extract air from the valve cover. However neither port can force air into the valve cover.

2.When you block off one port the other is still able to extract air from the valve cover. The front port is more free flowing then the rear.

3.Blocking off the rear port will not cause pressure to build in the valve cover. The pressure will be able to escape from front port.

4.The orange one way valve is slightly confusing. It can only circulate air from the extraction port not air from outside. I think it is used as a way for oil to condense and drain back into the head. That way only fumes escape.

That pretty much sums it up. This should put all of the "PCV system" threads to rest. Questions? Ask away.

Additionally an explanation from CZAR

Firstly let me explain a little about the PCV, PCV is an acronym for Positive crankcase ventilation, inside the cam cover there are a few entrapment passages and direction chambers, which do their best to separate the suspended oil particles from the passing vapour, this vapour is then vacuum drawn from the cam cover passageways through a valve flap, the first direction is through the rear PCV line into the intake manifold, next, when the vacuum draw from the turbo (building boost pressure) is greater than the vacuum draw of the induction stroke from the pistons, the rear PCV valve flap is closed, as is the diaphragm in the cam cover, this then changes the direction flow of the vapour, and the vapour is vacuum drawn through the passenger side PCV valve flap into the air intake flow pre-turbo, once off boost and steady throttle is resumed then the vapour is once again vacuum drawn through the rear PCV line.

Now the actual valve flaps themselves are merely free falling self closing rubber diaphragms, there is no spring or piston actuation on either valve flap, however there is a sprung chamber diaphragm, which opens/closes under the vacuum draw from both the inlet manifold and turbo vacuum draw, this dictates the flow direction, and in the later re-designed cam cover allows excess pressure to vent through the inbuilt pressure release sprung valve.

There you have it. No more carbon buildup.

 

nice mods i must say. good luck with the build and please share your findings

 

Soon...

 

Its all done, Ill get pics up when I get back from work.

 

Excellent news, look forward to the updates.

 

Surprise!!!

Now I'm much to tired to type, so enjoy the car porn.

 

Props for the engine build and for sharing with the R56 community.
I'll be watching this closely...
When do you plan to get it mapped? (Of course after the run-in period)...

 

It will be a few months before I get the dyne tune. Right now I will be running a baby tune. Mainly to prevent it from running lean, and to prevent I from boosting to much. I also want to get my head done. I ran out of funds this time around.

Are you 100% sure you want to run with this blanked off?

Do you have a reason I shouldn't? If you do, what do you suggest I do with it?

Re-connect the line with a decent catch can.

Not sure if you read but I ran a similar setup to what you are about to run and experienced serious oil usage and the car was laggy, another member running a similar setup to confirmed the same thing today.

 

I've done the same and not noticed any lag effect. I do use quite a bit of oil but my car is quite high mileage (100,000 last week). I've got a catch can attached to the front PCV which doesn't get too full of oil resin and crap, mostly condensation.

 

I am not on this form much, and i'm one of the few in the US with this. I have been running it for 15-20k and have had no issues. Well besides my rings wearing out, but that was due to a destroyed cat and elevated EGT's. Anyway, I ordered an extra oil cap and I am going to tap it for pressure. I'll monitor the pressure for a few drives, then put it back to stock and do the same. I will then compare the pressures, and report back. If anything I will just add a breather line like I have on the front port.
