Re: added a boost port on a Mitsu turbo

That looks really professional. It looks like it belongs there.

 

Re: added a boost port on a Mitsu turbo

Not bad man i always weld mine to the IC piping but that looks really well done, how well does it work for you?

 

Re: added a boost port on a Mitsu turbo

im curious to know if it works. But it looks good.

 

Re: added a boost port on a Mitsu turbo

ill be installing in a week or 2 but I dont see why it wouldnt work, Garrett turbos have it there, its just a hole similar to welding a nut on the IC pipes with a barb fitting. Id like to know what that hole was originally used for, its even threaded already, all i did was drill it out all the way through and made a nipple for it. Was there a bracket there for the 1Gs or something?

 

Re: added a boost port on a Mitsu turbo

I added one to my FP Green as well as my FP 3052. I just was sure to completely plug up the inside of the compressor housing and then drill the outlet neck bit by bit. I use a 1/8NPT barb fitting, and I have zero sealing issues.

 

Re: added a boost port on a Mitsu turbo

looks nice, I added a boost port to a TD06-20G I was running a few years back.

Re: added a boost port on a Mitsu turbo

I think that hole was used to fasten the oil feed line to the turbo or something similar to that.

 

Re: added a boost port on a Mitsu turbo

Anyone ever add a boost pressure port on a Mitsu turbo? I didnt want to weld a nut on my FMIC piping to feed my boost controller, and I noticed the garrett turbos have them there so i thought it would ok for a Mitsu turbo to have one, especially since it already has a
threaded boss on it.

Where did you get the nipple?
What size and thread is the nipple?
Did you have to rethread it?

Looks awesome.

Thanks

 

Re: added a boost port on a Mitsu turbo

very clean install looks awsome

I made the nipple out of an allen head shoulder bolt, cut it down then drilled it out, then ground the head into a cone shape to give it a barb No rethreading, i kept the original thread thats already there i believe M5 or M6 not sure of the pitch

 

Re: added a boost port on a Mitsu turbo

That looks good. Two weeks ago I needed to do something for installing my 16g. I thought about doing something similar but I didnt want to go drilling in my turbo. I figured it would be a lot cheaper to replace a J-pipe if I messed it up so I drilled a hole in the J-pipe tapped it and installed a threaded nipple in with JB weld. Turned out pretty nice and has been working great so far.

That is pretty cool, I never would have thought of that. Now I know how to do that. thx

 

Re: added a boost port on a Mitsu turbo

Good thinking dude. I love it when people DIY stuff, it's how it had to be done in the old days before there was insane aftermarket support like there is now. I usually do it on the ic piping too, but I too had a TD06H 20g that I added one to by tapping and using a 1/8" NPT just like 16g-95GSX did on his FP turbos. Nice work though even if it was just a simple addition it still looks like you thought it out pretty well rather than just going for it.

 

Re: added a boost port on a Mitsu turbo

Looks good....like it should be there. I may have to borrow that idea in the future.

 

Re: added a boost port on a Mitsu turbo

good suggestion, I had to do the same to my 20g so that I didn't have to use the BOV as a boost source anymore.:rudolph:

 

Re: added a boost port on a Mitsu turbo

Looks Factory.

I'ma keep you in mind later, and i'ma send u mine so you can do it for me.

J/k

Nice though.

Looks Very Professional.

 

Re: added a boost port on a Mitsu turbo

It's used as a boost reference for something like a boost controller.

No need to fear harassment. I'm sure there are many people that wanted to ask the same question but are too afraid!

Re: added a boost port on a Mitsu turbo

Excellent job, looks factory.

 

Clean install. However, wastegates are more responsive if you tee into the BOV reference from the intake manifold for your boost controller. Referencing the controller to a port that close to the turbo will make the wastegate open early, causing slightly slower boost response.

thats the 1st ive read of that, all other threads i read say NOT to Tee off the bov line. I currently have the BC Tee'd off the bov but i wanted to put it on its own line hoping to solve the slight stutter that i get when partially releasing the throttle.

 

That looks great. Let us know how it performs once you get it installed.

 

Why is everyone treating this like it's some great discovery?? Drill it through and tap it, done.

 

Hmmm.. i just noticed it said you live in Riverside??? HMMM i'm in moval.! weird... WHat color is ur 2g? Do you drive around Mo-val or just in riverside area? SORRY TO COME OFF TOPIC?
