April 8, 200916 yr workin on 86 ea82t with 42/48 garret,audi ewg, 2.25 uppipe. Its a silly question but i forgot where the oil return line goes. I took a picture and labled the lines i have. could you guys tell me if it is correct? I tried searching all afternoon and have found only a description of the turbo oil and coolant lines of where they run to the head.
April 9, 200916 yr Black hose goes to the pipe on the thermostat housing (Coolant return line) Red hose goes to the pipe that sticks up on the back of the head (Oil return) Braided line needs to go to a fitting on the back side of the head. Nice seats. I think you need bigger speakers in the back :-p
April 9, 200916 yr So that's what you've been up to... Well at least you've been up to something worthwhile :-p Sweet seats, and I concur with turbone (although I have no clue ) Oh, and you still don't have those subs installed yet? Twitch
April 12, 200916 yr Author Thanks for the info Ya the speaker was installed but i had to rewire my new dvd player in the dash and decided to go with some smaller speakers lol. Bit by bit its getting done:banana:
April 15, 200916 yr Where did you get that gauge pod? Ive been searching for one of those that looks decent.
April 16, 200916 yr Hi. Guys, I agree . Passanger side, @ rear of head. I'd like to hear how this turbo works. Question, if I'm lookin' at this picture right, don't you need to clock the bearing section so the oil return is at the bottom and won't overwhelm the shaft seals. I may be missing something. S.W.
April 16, 200916 yr Oh, and brandon, you'll be happy to hear, I found an EA82 turbo in the jy on tuesday, with less than half a millimeter of shaft play! Can we say brat turbo? Twitch
April 16, 200916 yr Author The gauge pod was from ebay, it fits 2.16 in gauges and is only painted to look like carbon fiber lol. it does kinda block the trip computer but id rather have the gauges there instead of on the pillar steve thats a good question, idk if i should clock it 90'. it seems to make sense to do it that way. DOES ANYONE ELSE KNOW IF IT WOULD BE WISE TO ROTATE THE BEARING PART SO THE RETURN IS POINTING DOWN? I dont plan on pushing alot of boost, 12 at the most, maybe it will work? it will still be a while before it gets close to being started though so no rush on the answer. Twitch, TURBO BRAT WOULD LOTS OF FUN! LOL:lol: P.S. I got a DIY intercooler kit plus sequential bov, its almost all there just gonna cut two to get it to go through the fender well not over it lol

April 19, 200916 yr So that's why you wanted to get home... I'm posting from my phone, btw. I have no idea about your question though. I would say its ok as long as its lubricated? Twitch
April 19, 200916 yr Author Shiny. Here is what the original IHI turbo looks like compared to the air research .48, IHI on the left and .48 on the right sorry for the sloppy pics but all i own is my cell phone camera Here you can see how i plumbed the valve breather to a tiny air breather that is a "mini me" of the actual cone airfilter that is going on:banana:
April 19, 200916 yr It probably would be wise to rotate the center section of the turbo down some to let the oil return flow a little better. Less chance for oil coking after a hot run also if you don't let it cool down.
April 19, 200916 yr Author Doeh! lol i should know this after owning a 97 eclipse gst that was only oil cooled, it requires a turbo timer that times the ignition to stay on for X amount of time = to the last temp reading from the block, thus saving the turbo from cooking! just had to change the light bulb over my head:grin: Thanx for reminding me lol
April 21, 200916 yr Author Well i got sick sunday and went to work monday anyways and got even worse too sick to turn wrenches too. so im stuck at home with no PB blaster or wd40 for loosening turbo bolts. but before taking the turbo apart i need to know what not to do, i know that i dont want the turbines to seperate. guess ill try the handy dandy search function lol
April 21, 200916 yr You don't have to take it fully apart, just loosen the bolts about 2turns, and rotate the housings. That saves a lot of potential for damaged vanes.
April 22, 200916 yr do you plan on venting your wastegate to the atmosphere, or back into the exhaust? keep up the good work, and get better soon.
April 30, 200916 yr Author IM BETTER! LOL. kk im soaking the bolts now. the wastegate will dump to the atmosphere for now, it will probably be too loud for a while lol. but i ran into a problem with spark plug, started thread for the problem.
May 1, 200916 yr Really Good Work! ... Nice Subie! ...more exterior pics please. Yes, I Agree! I will Like to Know more about Those Nice Seats, I Really Like `em, Could I Ask Which model did they came From? Thank You, Kind Regards.
May 6, 200916 yr Author the more boost you push the quieter your wasteget gets. Just a suggestion Are you being serious? if thats true then no one would ever complain about my 'quiet' subaru:grin: Loyale2.7 turbo the seats are from the company J.C. Whittney, the brand is APC and they generaly cost around 250. my dad gave his buddy a roof rack for his jeep as a gift and his buddy turned around and gave him these seats! lol then i did some work on an integra for my dad's job, he does autobody repair at a cadillac dealer, and he gave me the seats plus is helping with some intercooler pipe welding so they are actually out of a 1989 honda civic hatch that my friend crashed 4 years ago and totaled, which i was in at the time, who in turn sold them to my dads buddy:lol: As for more pics i think ive posted some before but ill upload some more on photobucket to share here Thanks everyone for the awesome replies and encouragement
May 6, 200916 yr Author HERE COME THE PICS! ENJOY I HAVE PLANS OF ADDING A STI SPOILER AND MAKING A CUSTOM INVERTED SCOOP, AND POSSIBLY LOWERING IT AN INCH- INCH 1/2, PLUS A CUSTOM FRONT AIR DAM, BUMPER:lol: I THINK ILL SPEND SOME TIME ON THE COMPUTER TODAY AND PHOTOSHOP THIS AND GET A QUICK PREVIEW OF THE THINGS TO COME
