Another Home Turbo Install!!!!!

**barefootbonzai** · 10-04-2005 01:39 PM

Howdy all,

I have finally found the time to start my turbo install. Just thought i'd share it with the rest of you all. Day one is over... and all i've managed to do is install the new fuel pump and injectors. Injectors was a bitch!!!! RC engineering Injectors did not fit directly into my engine. I had to grind them down about 1mm all the way around to get them to fit into the IM. Pics of yesterday are below. Probably won't start again till next week, will keep you posted.

the rc's should of fit fine. just put them and then tighten the rail down and they will slip in...

**barefootbonzai** · 10-04-2005 07:03 PM

Hey CHU85, you're also around brissy, would love to check out your car. Have a bit of a show down once i'm up and running

And yeah, i've got a coupe.

Epren i'm just gonna use a VAFC to control the fuel delivery.

**barefootbonzai** · 10-04-2005 07:17 PM

Lol TIAL it is. Never even paid attension. Always just thought it was TRIAL

**ProECU** · 10-04-2005 09:59 PM

yeah, I had the same issue with my RC's. The O-rings needed modification, I just sanded them back with a file, while spinning then on the end of a drill bit... worked a charm.
