DIY - TB45E turbo install

Hi. .

Can you please add a photo how you plumed the fuel pressure regulator up please. I can only see on the above photos how its fitted. I want to do it but dont know the correct way.

Thank you.

It's simply plumbed into the return hose of the original regulator i.e. the original regulator is still in place.
I did braze up an adaptor to replace the regulator using an old regulator that I cut the flange off but haven't fitted it yet.

Here's a pic I took this morning..

Do you still have all your 4.5 turbo stuff?
And if you do, do you maybe wanna sell it?
Cheers

I plan on using the manifold, the intercooler (cheap off Ebay anyway) and the cradle I welded up for the intercooler for the TD42 engine if it fits. All the rest will be for sale but I haven't had time to take pics of it all together.
The Xede is still wired into the ECU but that's easy to disconnect.

A quick list off the top of my head:
The GT3540 turbo which is clocked for a 45 degree low mount manifold (pics are in this thread) and has 3" dump for that angle.
New billet Kinugawa wastegate actuator set at 0.3 bar. Have spare original spring, can't remember pressure..
All new GT35 specific oil & water fittings, including Garrett oil restrictor for oil feed, for braided teflon hoses.
Homemade IC pipe from IC to throttle body including the silicone elbow(as shown also in this thread)
BOV & pipe to turbo inlet
Adjustable fuel pressure regulator with fittings - has spare diaphragm.
Knock indicator.
Innovate MTX-L wideband gauge complete with wiring and sensor
Chiptorque Xede piggyback ECU currently loaded with TB45E timing profile. Tuning software is free for the Xede. I can supply a copy and am happy to help with any questions.

I might have forgotten a couple of things like silicone bends, etc. If they don't fit my TD42 installation, I'll throw them in.

Edit: See, I did forget something. I also have 6 x 370cc RB25 injectors. They have been cleaned and I've fitted new pintle caps.
Also have 2 new T piece adapters to plumb the water cooling into the heater hoses.
Have a new Bosch inline fuel pump as well..
There's also the adapter I made to move the IACV valve to make room for the IC above the throttle body.

As I decided not to continue with this project, I have most of the turbo install gear for sale.

This is a bit of a repeat of the previous post..

Garrett GT35/40 (3582R) turbo from a BA XR6. Sold to me as having done 80,000 kms but obviously can't be proved.
It has a new Kinugawa wastgate actuator with 0.3 bar spring. It is clocked for a 45* low mount manifold and the 3" dump was made for that angle.
It has all stainless water & oil fittings for -AN unions including 2 oil restrictors.
New dump pipe gasket & inline oil strainer.
I have a video of this turbo being spun up with compressed air.

Chiptorque Xede piggyback processor. I have been using this with my TB45E engine. It has the timing profile for TB45E installed and has the wiring added for switching dual tuning maps. I also added an external red/green LED to indicate status.
It currently has a tuning map for TB45E with extractors & 2.5" exhaust.
I have all wiring & connection instructions and the Xmap tuning software is free.

Innovate Motorsports MTX-L wideband gauge & sensor. Will need a weld-in bung for the sensor.

6 x NIssan Skyline RB25 DET 370cc injectors. They have been cleaned and I've fitted new pintle caps.

Adjustable rising rate fuel pressure regulator with pressure gauge. With spare new membrane.

New Bosch inline electric fuel pump.

Electronic knock detection device. Has bright visual indication if knock occurs. Has 5v output option. New, never used. Connects to original TB knock sensor.

BOV (blow off valve) with 25mm hose connections.

I have the custom intake pipe I made with silicone elbow for the TB throttle body but it would only be useful if using the same Ebay intercooler as shown in this thread.

Most of what I've listed here will be in the pics in this thread.

$1000 for the lot. That's the price of a new Xede today..
