Jester Posted October 16, 2016 Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 Great build Luke! So how does it run now? BTW, your turbo fins should NOT contact the housing! That is the first thing I check on tractors. Second is the bearing under the oil feed line. Make sure it floats when you rotate the shaft. It should NOT stay with the shaft or the housing.

jesusno2 Posted November 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 Thanks guys i got a few parts cause i have to redo my downpipe also need to find a copper gasket for this exhaust 4 bolt flange Quote Link to comment
jesusno2 Posted December 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2016 Thinking i found the source of my Tstat housing leak that for some crazy reason never noticed and it was leaking so bad it took me awhile to figure out where it was coming from cause i had coolant everywhere Also couldn't find a cooper flange gasket of the back of this turbo and im cheap and made my own flange. 1 Quote Link to comment
ol' 320 Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 How is this running now? Are you happy with it? This deserves a craftsmanship award of some kind:) Quote Link to comment
jesusno2 Posted February 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 How is this running now? Are you happy with it? This deserves a craftsmanship award of some kind:) #1 participation trophy?? Megasquirt issues. I do have a working clutch now still have a exhaust and oil leak. Might have brakes now haven't driven it again. The Megasquirt thing is super confusing to me, cause i don't speak the computer language. but if ya never dive into things you don't understand you'll never learn. I'm starting all over with a ka24de base tune. I think for some reason my current tune is having some kinda weird glitch. cause my timing gun and my ecu are reading 10 degrees different from one another and i can't figure out why. 1 Quote Link to comment

jesusno2 Posted March 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 Yea. I went pretty hard on it and just was frustrated. Where i live your not gotta have someone near buy that will know about this stuff. Cause i dont care what anyone says you cant tune a car via the internet. Its either figure it out yourself, Or dont do it at all. Im sure i will get it. The MS wasnt my only problem for some reason oil leaks always plague my motor builds for some reason. Hoping i can just let it sit a bit and it will fix itself LOL 2 Quote Link to comment

d3rdsin Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 I'm a hardcore lurker on this project. I'm jealous because I have a 79 210 that I'm trying to get running again. Needs brake solutions badly but not rich enough to go wilwood. Plus no one has been able to give suspension advice since it's pretty shot. 1 Quote Link to comment
d3rdsin Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 Your build is fantastic, the custom bits are killer! 2 Quote Link to comment
