Turbo Charged 4.0L BII Build

[PaleBlue90]

im wanting to rebuild my 2.9 and turbo it now lol

 

[nate12346]

UPDATE!
The turbo rebuild kit came in today! I went and picked it up.......... IS THAT ALL????!! I paid 150 bones for a little baggy of 3 C clips, 2 small floater bearings, 2 rubber band lookin gaskets, and a oil gasket!!! as I walked out the door hahaha... JK

ANYWHO, I put the turbo back together in about 20 min. Now there is no shaft play! I guess the 150 bones will save me in the long run and the turbo can last a long time. I also found out the guy I bought it from didn't run oil through it when he had it on his honda... Dumb ass ;brownbag;.... and when I took out the old gaskets they crumbled apart. But all is fixed and well!

Im am stuck till Saturday cuz i gots no moneys! My band is playin in Westcliff and i am goin to make 150 bones, so i can get my piping

droool.....man i wish i thought of this...make a very good build threeas so we can tech page it and i can do this to one of my trucks!!!...lol

Ill be sure to be very thorough (sp?) in my build write up, with lots of pics

UPDATES:
I bought my piping to start building the inlet and down pipe/exhaust pipe and ordered a Blow Off Valve.

I leave tomorrow morning to play a band gig and make a few hundred bucks to get the rest of the intake piping to get her done. One I start bending the pipe I will get a ton of pics for you all step-by-step

UPDATE for today:
I just got back into town from my band gig. Made enough money to get me my external wastegate to control boost. I will order it tonight.

I have to wait for my BOV and piping to get in. Once that all gets here, It will be one good day of work, welding, and PICTURES! she will be good to go!:icon_hornsup:

The only reason to run an intercooler is if you're experiencing detonation when running the desired boost.

If you're not, there's no reason for an intercooler.

Of course there is, colder air is denser air...cooler charge air is denser than warmer charge air......intercooler means cooler charge air (if done post turbo preintake) and denser air is good.

MAN I HATE WAITING lol...
I went and picked up my Blow Off Valve today with a silicon coupler:

Here is all I have as of right now:

Today I made stencils of the flanges I need to make and wired up my boost gauge. I am waiting for the external wastegate to get here and the Blow Off Valve aluminum coupler.:icon_twisted:

Updates Updates Updates....
Well one of my Parts came in today:
Just the aluminum pipe. The blow off valve is show

I am still waiting for these parts:
10 feet of oil line

External Wastegate

AND Last, but most important is my scavenge pump

All of it should be here by Tuesday next week:icon_hornsup:

wow.. literally join trs because of this forum.

im actually doing the exact same thing. on an 01 ranger 4.0 with the remote mount.. just saw something that bugged me so i wanted to ask. im running an t3 turbo from an skyline gts-t that is internally wastegated and looking at your turbo you are also internally wwastegated. why did you get a external wastegate? you planning on welding the internal one shut?

also i dont know if the scavenger pump is necessary on the ranger/bronco. your not going need alot of pressure to oil cool your turbo. there is a remote mounted turbo q45 on the net that didnt use a oil pump because with it, it would cause problems. i was planning on running my turbo without one first and seeing if it was necessary.

but ya, looks awesome.. hopefully i can get off my lazy ass and finish my turbo, just need to get my turbo flange mounted onto some piping and do the plumbing job.

Sweet man! Well Welcome to TRS!

Anyways As to your question on the internal wastegate..... The internal has a 12psi spring in it. It is not adjustable. I only want to run between 5-7 psi
A boost controller wont work because they are made if I want to run more than 12psi in my case. Nothing will open it before 12psi. The external wastegate I got is adjustable from 4-9psi. I will keep the internal on which will always stay shut and as a fail safe I will connect it with the external just in case the external fails and wont blow my engine.

About the scavenge pump. My turbo is water cooled (which im not goin to use for now) and oil lubed for the floater bearings. I am doing this whole build keeping in mind that I might want to take it off (I hope not lol). So I don't want to make anything permanent. I am tapping into the Oil Pressure sensor to send the oil to the turbo. BUT im dumping the oil back into the engine by the oil fill tube which is much higher than where it is coming from so the scavenge pump is there to push it up into the oil fill. Usually you tap the oil pan or a little above the oil pan on the block to send it back.....

I got my wastegate!

Today I built the pressurized side of the intake. That is as far as i can go till i get to a welder hopefully this weekend

 

[93240sx]

are you goin to balance that turbo?

fail safe is a good idea.. i don't know why i didnt think of that.. maybe good idea for me to do too. probably gonna steal the oil fill tube idea. maybe it won't work on my 2001. o wells.

im looking to hit 6psi on stock internals so will be fun.

Already done

Thanks

Glad I could help a lil on the ideas lol. As for stealing the oil tube idea.....It's copy righted
