Yeah im with you matey. Just learning what i can. My fjx has a turbo on the todo list. Or a super if i can find a ideal size one cheap

[jnimbostratus]

Waste gate actuator mount all fabricated and mounted still need to clean up the edges an finish but it's functional.




had to weld up the exhaust flange so i could heat up the section just before the turbo and bend it out a hair from the swing arm.

Can someone please tell me what the oil cap thread is. I have an idea...

[jnimbostratus]

drilled and tapped the main oil galley plug for the -4 turbo feed line today

[jnimbostratus]

oil feed and drain flanges finally came in the mail

[jnimbostratus]

the -4 oil feed line tapd and line routed and the -10 drain fitting drilled and tap into the stock oil fill cap. just need a 90 degree -4 to finish feed and 2 90 degree -10 fittings for drain.

intercooler mock up. it ended up being to big to mount infront of the forks on the frame so i will be relocating oil cooler up there and putting intercooler where the oil cooler was.

OK, time for a dumb question: Where's the oil cooler going?  I don't think I'd try running a standard FJ w/o an oil cooler.
Turbo FJ?  Oil cooler required, IMHO.

The way I read it, the oil cooler is going in front of the forks, where he originally was placing the intercooler.

I guess If I had read the words, instead of just looking at the picture, I'd have caught that detail.  D'oh! And I REALLY do read Playboy for the articles too.

That IC looks like it belongs there.

Too bad a couple of hard 90's will be required to plumb it, but I see no other option. I doubt the 90's will cause much restriction to flow if they're a smooth radius. Everything will be pressurized (most of the time) so angles & 90 degree turns aren't as critical as in a naturally aspirated flow path.

Can't wait to hear the ride reports.

[jnimbostratus]

One piece at a time. 120° fitting routes the oil drain line right where I want it.

[jnimbostratus]

got the oil drain line all finished up finally.

[jnimbostratus]

forgot to post this also. did some work on mounting the intercooler. cant get it 100% mounted till its plumbed incase it needs tweaking.

It's coming along!

How are you going to change, or add oil to your bike? Do you have to disconnect the turbine bearing oil return line?
