Hi guys.

With a couple of members recently doing this upgrade and a few more asking questions about this I have been taking some happy snaps of a setup I am currently putting together. If anyone has any questions I will try to answer them to the best of my ability.

Regards Newby

So first things first. We start with a brand new DTS manifold. I gave this one some love with the die grinder and ported it out a little. It was then time for some ceramic coating.

Now in using the Borg Warner EFR 6758 we use a T25 0.64 sized turbine housing. The T designation of a turbos description (T3,T4, T25 etc) will generally be referring to its flange dimension. Most exhaust manifolds for our TD42 will come with a T3 flange. This means we need to adapt to the smaller T25 of the Borg Warner. I have also had these parts ceramic coated.

As you can see the adaptor is a 2 piece item. Here is the part bolted to the manifold using a new T3 gasket as well.

Now there isnt a gasket available to go between the 2 parts of the adaptor. The adaptor is a fairly well machined item so would unlikely need any sealant. Ceramic coating is also quite soft. I still used a very small smear of Permatek Copper Gasket (High Temp) when joining the 2 parts.

Good job Matty. I think i know the answer but will ask anyway for the sake of the thread.

What is the advantage of Ceramic Coating? How thick is the ceramic and what kind of cost to do the manifold and flanges?

Now if you haven't already noticed one of the studs is slightly shorter than the others. This is done to clear the turbine housing. Its a little snug that one.

Turbo mounted onto manifold.

The advantage of ceramic coating is it keeps more heat in the gas instead of losing it to the material and then to air. By keeping the heat in gas we can improve the turbo efficiency and also lower engine bay temps. It is not very thick at all but in some instances you do have to remove a little for tolerance fit items. maybe 0.05-0.1mm thick.

You will see in the next photo a small hose between the recirculation valve and pressure port. This is the best way to plumb it up on our TD42 as we dont have a throttle body like a petrol would.

With this setup we are utilising a turbosmart EFR specific twin port wastegate actuator. We are for the moment keeping the standard injector pump on so have gone for a 22psi spring arrangement.

The idea behind using the Turbosmart dual port actuator is we can have finer control over the actuator. We get this control from using a electronic boost controller, in this particular case a turbosmart Eboost street.

So with these 2 parts working in partnership with other we can have very accurate control of the actuator which equals boost control. See with the dual port actuator we can have pressure on either side of the diaphragm. This means we can hold it shut when exhaust manifold pressure is trying to open it. Also we can basically control exactly when we want the wastegate to open. With a normal type actuator the exhaust manifold pressure can start to overcome the spring before you have given it signal to do so.

The other great thing about the turbosmart actuator is you can put a number of different spring combinations in to suit your desired boost curve. This again gives you that finer control over a conventional style actuator.

Very interesting this is. Im keen to see how this goes. Been eyeing these off for a while. As for the ceramic coating. Is it just like a pressure pack can job? Or do you take it somewhere? Thanks.

Induction time. So, as I always recommend, we are running 4" piping all the way to the turbo. And I mean all the way. We only step it down right at the turbo. We have used a Fatz Fabrication airbox on this setup. With some nice flash pipework :)

Next up is the charged side of things. The intercooler we are using is of the water-to-air type. I have gone a little further with this though and the cooler is now integrated into a modified intake manifold.

First things first. Mount the support bracket.

This is as far as I am at the moment. Next will be finalising the charge air track. This is only the turbo to intercooler pipe. We didnt have enough clamps to finish at the time of these photos. We will also be doing the oil and coolant lines for the turbo. I will be using a mix of tube and hose to try and keep things nice and neat.

We should be able to run it at this point to check for any leaks etc etc. Then it will be onto plumbing up the water part of the intercooler.

I'm guessing the benefit of the 4" from the turbo to intercooler will only be beneficial because of the large inlet on this intercooler. Say for example the CC top mounts don't have a large inlet on them so would you still get the same benefit?

Only using 4" from airbox to turbo. Turbo to intercooler is 3" pipe. Sorry I should have been more specific.

Yes there isnt much point in having piping bigger on the inlet side of the cooler. It can be a small benefit on the outlet of the cooler though as it increases volume. But it is a little pointless if it has to neck down again to go into the manifold.

As I said mate you will always see a gain running an electronic boost controller. They are just so much better than a manual item.

As for the dual port actuator I think it will more of an advantage with the Borg warner than the Garretts due to the gate size and design of the Borg Warner. However it will still be an advantage of a conventional can.

Yes Andy deserves a fair bit of credit here. He was very trusting in taking my advice and we all got to see the results. Without guys willing to have a go then nothing goes anywhere.

I will have to double check but I think the manifold was around 150ish.

We were able to run it at this point which was good. You will notice we dont have a drain on the turbo so we just ran this into a bucket fro approx 20 seconds. The oil drain and hose have turned up so its just a matter of fitting it. We also need to plumb up the actuation lines for the boost controller and dual port actuator. All going well we will drive it this week and see how it goes. Then its just getting the water plumbed up for the cooler.

Im assuming you're not using that 90 bend fitting on the block of the oil drain? Just to seal it for your 20 second run yeah?

It is custom made. It started as a type 17 frozenboost core. I chopped one end off and had the manifold parts cut up. I folded the curved part at work.Then peter (oldmav) welded it together. The heat exchanger is a modified mr2 radiator, we are using a davis craig 120lpm electric water pump with 1" water lines.

This is all on a good mates 06 td42ti wagon.

Going to use that. Will throw a clear line on it to see if it restricts at all. It is all bigger than the hole in the bottom of the turbo.

Righto! Yeah ok a lot of thought has gone into that. Kudos to you.... Wish we had anyone down here with the knowledge to do that. Have you still got that ute I saw at your place when I was last up there? You were selling that i think???
Another thing too. Does a setup like that or any W2A really, have the loud induction noise like the big CC top mount I have? We drove 8 hours in Jan towing a camper and I tell ya I was kinda over it by the time we got to our destination.

I've done 6000 kms with the same elbow on my turbo oil drain and no issues.

Mat, I have to ask, why is the turbo coolant return line plumbed into the same pressure side outlet as the heater hose?

Also, I see there's a heater type hose connected to where the pre Ti turbo coolant return connected. What is that used for now?

I think it would be hard to from a business point of view. All the time I have put into is free I am not charging my mate. He is just buying all bits with quite a few them at trade price through me. I think a few people do have the knowledge but it is not their core business and the amount of people who want things done like this is very small. Especially when you weigh up the cost and time put into it.

Yeah I still have my ute. i actually drove it down to Andys last year. I really need to pull my finger out and get it advertised before the bub comes along.

With this setup there is no noise. With it on the previous setup using a garrett the only annoyance was the whistle those things make but that is very typical of a garrett.

Hi John. That is the only spare port available to us. I have been using that port on mine for a while now with no ill effects.

The hose you can see is from the header tank. The Ti engines ran a header tank system and that is the point where it feeds into the system. These are very easy to bleed compared to earlier ones. Just fill the radiator then fill the header tank. Go for a drive and top up as required.

For now it will retain the standard 11mm ti pump. I know a few little tricks to get these pumps working a little better. Old mate needs a break from spending for a little lol but the pump is basically all that will be required.

We opted to keep the pump for a little while as well as its pretty fresh at only 90k.

Just out of interest .... what are those copper coloured nuts you've used. I can see they are lock nuts but haven't seen that colour before. Are they a special heat resistant item?

They are copper, mine are Sonic Performance, I got them through MTQ. I've never had one seize up on me. Mat actually stripped one of mine but we just ran a tap through it and sent it. Not that you should reuse them in an ideal situation, I have without issue.

You're better off loosely mounting the turbo and run wire like a coat hanger, etc to determine exact path and lengths you need and just take the turbo into a shop like Pirtek and get them to do everything for you.
