This helped me out a lot, I’m boosting my rsx and everything is going well I just don’t understand the vacuum likes but I think I have a better understanding now
You should add a filter to the valve cover vent as that is the inlet for your pcv system, the outlet is the pcv valve, if you're not going to rout a hose to the air filter. There are arguments for the boost reference line for the wastegate both before or after the throttle body. It's also a good idea to add check valves to every vacume line that isn't designed to see boost, break booster, vacume modulator (certain automatic transmissions), PCV, ect.
Bro for the amount of money you put into this it is absolutely clean and looks just as good as a literal built kit you're smart bro should let me pick your brain sometime I'm bout to turbo my car and it'd be awesome to gain any information I can from you
I’m sure you probably can’t remember, but what size vacuum line was used for the wastegate? All the vacuum line I have is too small for my wastegate. Thanks for your videos, they’ve helped tremendously in the process of turboing my Miata kart :)
Could you share the specific adapter that you used (7:11) to screw the oil feed line into your block on a 1.6? I couldn't find it in your build spreadsheet. Thank you so much for the videos!
Was going to ask the same question. Because the top feed adapter I believe, is already restricted 4an top fitting and the bottom side is like a pinhole so i would assume.
Hey buddy! great video really informative! i have a question about my wastegate, should i run the vacuum line to my t25 as it has a vacuum port, or should i blank the turbo vacuum and run a line to the intake? car is a clio turbo! thanks buddy tim
I first used a -3an oil feed line no restrictor but it blew the turbo. After getting a new center cartridge, i replaced it with a -4AN no restrictor, but i notice oil in the intake pipe and the blades of compressor housing but no blue smoke though. So i'm thinking of putting a restrictor with the -4an. What do you think?
I can’t remember unfortunately, I feel like it was around 1/2 inch to 5/8 though. Check the description, it may be in my build spreadsheet. I taped the pipe and threaded it in
They’re often used interchangeably, correctly or incorrectly. There are tons of tech articles from reputable sources that I can link if you’re interested. If you can, give your definitions of each because I’m curious and if I’m incorrect would like to know why. Regardless, a blow off valve prevents compressor surge and in my opinion sounds great, which is why I used one on this build.
@@CashedOutCars Surge is on throttle flutter = bad, flutter is off throttle flutter = harmless. BOV is of course personal taste, I wouldnt run it tbh. I havent seen an article in the last couple of years that said turbo flutter causes shorter turbo lifespan, everyone tries to debunk it. Hell a lot of cars came without BOVs or recirc valves from factory, S13's for example, atleast those couple stock ones I've heard.
On throttle surge is ONE type of surge which as you mentioned is more dangerous. The other type of surge is off throttle which is what is referred to in this video and what people commonly refer to as turbo flutter. That’s where a blow off valve is helpful, and I’m very happy with mine. Of course, you could run with out one and not cause damage, as ive talked about in other videos of this series. Especially at low boost blow of valves are not necessary and ultimately it is personal choice.

Hey that’s exactly why I’m here! 05 rsx-s
I'm so impressed with this channel. Keep it up.
Thank you! There’s much more to come, stay tuned!

Fantastic video
I’m running a garret gt2554 and kraken kit but still highly informative stuff!
Underrated channel. Liked and subscribed.
Much appreciated!
Thanks for making this educational video ❤

I appreciate that, it means a lot! Definitely watch through this series on my channel and as you have questions feel free to ask away!

M10 1.5 to 1/8 MPT or 4AN. depends on your turbo line
Huge help thank goodness
Thanks for the useful video. Might have just got a JDM one, that works and ready to boost :D
Awesome! That’ll be a ton of fun, enjoy it and feel free to ask any questions you have along the way!
nice!
Got a question can you blow out your new valve seals if too much pressure is in the engine?
Literally the most useful person ever, but what weight of oil do you use?
I use 5W40 for track use, 5W30 if I’m doing only street driving!
why is it that on the ISR turbo kit there are no plugins for vacuum lines?
Hey Cash, what size oil restricter did you use for your turbo? I plan on using the same turbo
Was going to ask the same question. Because the top feed adapter I believe, is already restricted 4an top fitting and the bottom side is like a pinhole so i would assume.
Would you consider getting a boost solenoid?
About to boost mine and am pretty nervous about it. Still gotta put in the ecu and learn off that before I do this probably about a month from now
Let me know if you have any questions! Definitely learn NA first!
Same here brotha good luck💪 stimmy and unemployment paying for me to boost my car🤫 stonks🤣🤣🤣
Hey buddy! great video really informative!
i have a question about my wastegate, should i run the vacuum line to my t25 as it has a vacuum port, or should i blank the turbo vacuum and run a line to the intake?
car is a clio turbo!
thanks buddy
tim
For a wastegate you'll want to go to the turbo or intercooler housing or piping before the intake. Good luck!
@@CashedOutCars Thanks for the reply buddy!! Ill run it straight onto the turbo! thanks mate really really helped me out
Where would I plumb into for boost actuated cutout exhaust valve?
I first used a -3an oil feed line no restrictor but it blew the turbo. After getting a new center cartridge, i replaced it with a -4AN no restrictor, but i notice oil in the intake pipe and the blades of compressor housing but no blue smoke though. So i'm thinking of putting a restrictor with the -4an. What do you think?
Is it a ball bearing or a journal bearing turbo? It does sound like you’ve got too much oil to it or a restricted oil drain
I have an 08 honda crv , no one makes a ( tuner) for it what do you suggest? I'm going to turbo it so I need to adjust fuel and timing curves
What engine is in it? Lots of Hondas can run Hondata ECUs
@@CashedOutCars I believe the A1
Cash, what size fitting did you use for the iac? And did you weld it to the pipe?
I can’t remember unfortunately, I feel like it was around 1/2 inch to 5/8 though. Check the description, it may be in my build spreadsheet. I taped the pipe and threaded it in
Can you explain what the deal is with your wastegate? Why it has stuff all over it I mean?
Yes, I was using springs to lower the pressure at which the gate opened to run lower boost than the actuator was rated for
How about to your fuel pressure regulator?
I left the fuel system all stock on this build, including regulator, pump and lines running to it
the line for the actuator of the turbo works with pressure not vacum....
Yes it does, but it’s still referred to as a vacuum line. It’s under vacuum all the time you’re out of boost
I used this vid as an example that there's just way too much shit involved in turbocharging.
Compressor surge and turbo flutter are 2 different things please dont spread this misconception.
