Mikelly Posted December 10, 2002 Share Posted December 10, 2002 ...Mind you I know NOTHING about turbos and haven't worked on ANY turbo cars in over a decade... My kids T5 turbo kit came in last night... Anyone know of a good source for rubber boots that connect the tubing?? It came with all the piping... No boots though... The intercooler is an SVO unit, and the BOV and waste gates came with it as well... I've got a few oil plumbing questions... Can I just run one of those sandwhich adapters to the oil filter and get oil from there??? I also have a TURBOTX manual Boost controller, a Vortec FMU, and an HKS Turbo timer for it... The wife bought him the two gage pod and Autometer Boost gage and oil temp gage for it. Can't think of anything else I really need right now, other than learning how this stuff will plumb in. I also need to make a down pipe, and we'll have to get a custom exhaust made... He needs to order a new hiflow cat with 2.5 inch inlet/outlet... Should be a fun ride with about 7 PSI of boost...

SleeperZ Posted December 10, 2002 Share Posted December 10, 2002 T5 turbo? What is that? Are you sure it's not a T25? or T28? Try this site, they seem to have pretty reasonable prices... hoses and clamps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted December 10, 2002 Share Posted December 10, 2002 Another place you can go is Hoover Chan's web page. I'm not sure if he has Honda 'kit' stuff, but he has every size and type you need. I have seen his hoses personally and they are HIGH quality. Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivan280zt Posted December 10, 2002 Share Posted December 10, 2002 Mike hondas are running open block bottom end (or however you say it) so block guard would be nice investment (its about $150) and EGT gauge would go long way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikelly Posted December 11, 2002 Author Share Posted December 11, 2002 Guess I'm gonna have to buy a Mitsubishi book... It appears that the turbo, waste gate and blow off valve same off a Talon/ Eclipse... PETE??? Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yo2001 Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 www.forcedperformance.com They might be able to help on Mitu stuff. or search on google "DSM" BTW, Mitu turbo are sweet for a small displacement engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony240ZT Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 I'm running one of those sandwich plates on my L24et from perma cool. I think I'm running -8an lines to the oil cooler, and then on the return I have a T that goes off to a -3 AN SS braided line for oil feed to the turbo. I then took one of those turbo oil feed flanges and welded a 1/2" nut on top so that that I could easily get a fitting on there to put the AN feed line on. For the return I took my oil pan off, welded about an inch of one inch diameter pipe on, drilled it out. Then it was fairly easy to just get a hose and hook up the return off of the turbo into the oil pan. Put the return line above the oil line. The reason why the oil return line is so much larger than the feed is because only gravity is pulling it down to the pan, and the oil after going through the hot turbo gets a little frothy. You don't want any back up or the oil will cook, so put the oil return hole in the pan higher than the oil level usually sits.

Mikelly Posted December 11, 2002 Author Share Posted December 11, 2002 Might be a dumb question, but Why not plumb it to the Valve cover??? Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim240z Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 Might be a dumb question, but Why not plumb it to the Valve cover??? I'm not a turbo guy, but does this not answer your question?

Len Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 Right on Tim! Don't fight gravity. Less of a chance of starving engine of life giving OIL. Which in turn would not allow proper circulation of turbo. And we know what would happen then! burnt bearings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikelly Posted December 11, 2002 Author Share Posted December 11, 2002 I warned you that it might be a really dumb question, didn't I? REALLY DUMB, Looking back on it... Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Zcarsmakemyheadhurt Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 Is this for a Honda??? I hope so a TD05 is a bit small for a L6. I run a T off of the hole where the oil sending unit is located than a braided line from there to the oil feed. As for the return it must be routed downward to the oilpan if you do this wrong it will smoke. Do you need flanges for the down pipe? If you need bends to make the downpipe I sell 3" or 2 1/2" 90 degree elbos for $12.00 and I could make you any flange you need for that turbo. Good luck and give me a call if you need anything.

Mikelly Posted December 11, 2002 Author Share Posted December 11, 2002 Alex, It is for my son's 1.6 L D series Civic. I'll need to make the down pipe in a 2.5 inch and I'll likely be giving you a call... Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yo2001 Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 D series is a pretty tough motor for a Honda. haha. I got a friend running 13's with homemade turbo kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
