M20 Turbo => M50 turbo fun.

So I acquired a piece of 6061 .500 thick 6" diameter aluminum to use as a surge tank. How much volume do I need?

I am thinking of mounting the dual 044's inside the tank. I think it would be much cleaner and I've seen it done. FUEL RAIL IS STILL NOT HERE DAMNIT.

These bad boys are big.

I've been working there for six months now(today-woohoo I get a raise) and it's honestly amazing. I love doing what I do. It's never the same, and I'm not just doing one job.

Oh, and having the keys to the place is just a bonus haha. And it's always 72 degrees in there so I have never broken a sweat.

So Mitch dropped his MS3x off at my place for testing and whatnot, and he had purchased it from someone who built it. Needless to say what I saw was a bit scary, and it doesn't work.... I will let the pictures do the talking.

Parts not sitting on the board, touching other things

Melted pots (grey block)

More parts off of the board

Long wires that should be trimmed, melted PCB, some wires were touching the case

Total mess

Very melted, some pads pulled through, solder pooled together

Made by the same guy that welded kaisers old exhaust????

This is why I bought pre-built. 

I have sausage fingers and would likely end up with something like that.

[Rowleym]

Holy hell. IS it shot? I have never even taken it apart.

I should upload pics of mine for comparison now lol.

I didn't get around too it last night, but I will see what functions tonight and go from there. I see 3 issues already

Oh jeez. Well good thing tax returns are coming haha.

also, I just about finished the design of the surge tank, just not sure how many litres I need. The two pumps will be partially submerged, such as this

also, My brother is back, and the m20 is getting worked on!

SO. I got fucked on the injectors also, turned out they are 22lb python injectors........ Anyways, Anyone have decently affordable injectors for e85 and 1000whp? If you didn't notice I'm overbuilding my fuel system.

Just bought v44 tial wastegate to use with my manifold.

Have fun tuning your idle with massive injectors

Yea I think I might have to do staged injection for cost purposes. Good injectors that idle well at well into the 1000$ range. I'm thinking I'm just gonna buy the injectors I thought I had (Seimens deka 80lbers) which will be fine for the stock dme for now and e85.

Just bought an intercooler. 18x12x4 core.

[Rowleym]

So I made an oil line. You guys will love it. Used 1/4" brake line (3/16" Id which is what my turbo calls for.) and a couple adapters. Also. My charge piping consists of a 90* bend and 16" straight. I enjoy throttle response

[Rowleym]

Made a little thing for turbo oil feed(the part that's on the turbo)

[Rowleym]

Oil line installed. Intercooler will be here before Friday.

Anyone have good ideas on about 1" ID radiator hose? Or aluminum hard line.

[jc43089]

This is looking great, is there a reason stock radiator hoses won't work?
