BOOSTING A TOYOTA GR86 | JDL TURBO KIT INSTALL

[@artblackwood7936]

That's cool. Smart to go with the smaller turbo. More fun overall. I have the Sprintex supercharger and get about 300 wheel. Way more fun to drive.

[@chrisyang3824]

How’s the sprintex? I was planning on going that route. Love the whine and immediate torque.

[@Cole_brz]

How many miles have you put down on the sprintex, looks fun just scared of the high PSI

[@artblackwood7936]

@@chrisyang3824 The Sprintex is great. I had added the Pedal Commander earlier on and that was like getting a tune. The combination is just fantastic.

[@artblackwood7936]

@@Cole_brz I have gone ~10,000 miles so far. I hear you about the psi. The standard math says that with that much psi you would be at 400+ hp, but it's not. PSI is high but volume isn't. I daily drive it and love it. So much stronger near the bottom of any gear. And way stronger at 4000+. Seems to respond more to percentage throttle increase than anything else. I'm averaging 27.5mpg on my daily commute but if I start pushing it all the time I get 23.

[@carantix]

27.5 mpg is crazy!!!! We’re glad you love the sprintex though. Was there a reason why you chose the supercharger over a turbo?

[@jameslowry3208]

definitely need to reclock the turbo to vertical. The drain line needs to be dead straight down, offset and oil will pool in the turbo and build up. I literally used a small level to mount my turbo when i turbo'd my 15 frs, buddy said it wasn't that serious lol

[@carantix]

Thank you for the advice! Just reclocked the turbo last night😎😎

[@jacobimerini7774]

hey i hope the build goes great, as some one who just had their boosted one blow i would change the head gaskets and studs for a more relaible 400 thats where mine died at. cheers and i hope u get 100000 miles outta that engine brother. and great content as always

[@uNsT0p4b1e]

Are you on the 1st gen FA20? FA24 has stronger internals

[@jacobimerini7774]

@uNsT0p4b1e I have an fa24 the headbolts can be a little weak my engine also had 45k+ miles on the engine. As they say more power will accelerate the deteration of the engine. I was also a firm believer that 400 was a safe amount from the videos I watched and now my head is blown Also for reference I had the larger jdl turbo 58mm

[@uNsT0p4b1e]

@@jacobimerini7774 Oh damn thanks for sharing and sorry to hear that. I'm getting my supporting mods in order and then plan to turbocharge next year with the GT2971R. Was thinking of the GTX3071R to run lower boost and have less chance of heat soak, but seems people are having the best luck with small turbo setups I also figured 400whp should be decently safe. Might just aim for 360-380whp on E85

[@jacobimerini7774]

@@uNsT0p4b1e yea man I'm just happy to share my experiences with the community so people can enjoy their builds. I went with the larger turbo so I could run lower boost but I got greedy I would do 360 and play it safe. Unless you can afford getting a new engine on top of a turbo

[@uNsT0p4b1e]

@@jacobimerini7774 I want to keep this as my daily so yeah may just go more conservative like other guys I know, and not push for any more power until way later. Would you mind sharing what your whole setup was? Like did you have an oil cooler, upgraded rad, cerakoting, hood vents etc to help with heat management?

[@ericcartman9634]

noisy engine sounds like low oil pressure , missing restrictor on turbo oil line will cause this and blue smoke

[@carantix]

It definitely could be! We’re pretty sure they come with oil restrictors from JDL for the turbo already though. We could be wrong tbh?😂😂

Sheeeeshhhhh👀

Sub'd. Make sure you take care of the oiling issues that plagues this car.

[@carantix]

Thank you bro, we’re glad you enjoyed the content! And yes! We’ll be constantly monitoring and keeping up with the oil issues involved with this car. We don’t want another engine to be killed😂😂

More Derek content, he saves this channel, best person infront of the camera honestly. Or tell him to start his own channel.

[@carantix]

We appreciate the feedback! We’ll continue to work on improving the channel so that it’s top quality continuing into the future. Don’t worry though, Derek will have a lot more videos in the future still!😎😎

[@jl5731]

Did JDL say anything about the cutting of the fan shroud? I don't think you needed to cut anything. What would you say was the hardest part of the install? The oil pan? Is that where you supposed to mount the boost controller?

[@carantix]

The turbo could have been clocked more to get the wastegate over the fan shroud but we were just lazy and decided it was easier to cut the fan shroud instead of clocking the turbo. Especially since we were waiting on a response for a while and it should’ve been clocked by JDL already since it was their test kit. Hardest part of the install was definitely the couplers. Getting the tubes within the couplers with c clamps on top of them was the most pain in the ass thing we had to do😂😂Oil pan was easy though :) You could mount your boost controller in plenty of different places, especially away from the heat of the turbo however this is currently what has been working for us so we just left it lol. We will probably end up moving it in the future though!

[@Raygetplenty]

I’d have ocd if I lost a bolt working on my car , I’d automatically assume it’s in the engine 😅

[@carantix]

No, for real! It’s funny when you find an old socket or bolt from a previous install though😂😂

[@ricardomedina3874]

You really wouldnt need oem rtv. Permatex would work just fine.

[@carantix]

You definitely could but we personally decided to go oem especially because of all the rtv problems that this car has. Which permatex bottle would you have recommended others to use? Just curious?

[@ricardomedina3874]

@ Yeah and those problems are with OEM RTV. I see your pan has excess pinching out of it which I would say is a bigger issue than using non oem RTV. I understand the piece of mind using it but I think this is a situation where it’s overkill. Not judging, just wanting to state there is nothing wrong with a good name brand RTV that isn’t $70. I enjoy yalls content so definitely keep it up!

[@Jaydeified]

@@ricardomedina3874 what's an RTV brand you'd recommend? I have a '23 BRZ and I want to avoid any oil problems that these are prone to.

[@carantix]

Yeah, we realized after that there was some excess coming out and we could’ve used less for sure!😂😂 hopefully it doesn’t affect the pickup tube with what we put on though :// Also, we appreciate the advice for permatex and we’ll definitely try to save some money that way if we have to pull the oil pan again! It’s good to know it’ll work in the same way for next time! And thanks for the love bro! We’re glad you enjoy the content!🙏🙏❤️❤️

[@ruinedmedia3053]

@@Jaydeified permatex red is ideal for high temperature applications, but like, when I was in a pinch because I needed rtv late at night I used a tube of permatex black (which is general use rtv) that I got from Walmart for the bearing retainer cover on my transmission when I replaced my throw out bearing, and the transmission gets super hot too. It’s been a bit over a year since I used the rtv and there’s been no issues. If anything the permatex black literally sealed better than the oem crap I cleaned out of my brz. Edit: oh also, brand honestly isn’t what’s important. Getting a good even spread is important. When I did my tob and clutch I was taught to use my finger to spread the rtv and make it a nice evenly distributed layer across the entire contact surface. Because then once you press the 2 surfaces together, there won’t be a lot of excess pushed out, and there the rtv can set evenly to form a good and strong bond.

[@xcwis]

Matt looks different 🤔

[@carantix]

Some would say that…🤔🤔

[@krylotik]

That engine noise sounds straight up terrible

[@carantix]

Dang :((

[@carantix]

Yeah it sounded pretty rough when started up but went away shortly after!

[@DOOMLORDHOKAGE]

Turboing these cars scare me lol They have reliability issues stock with only 225HP naturally aspirated. This just feels like FA24 suicide, but I look forward to see how this goes.

[@carantix]

It really is just up to luck that these things will hold at this point with the turbo lol. Supposedly it should hold good power especially with the fa24 as long as the rtv issues are solved first. We’ll see though😂😂

[@thestormking6737]

Should have checked inside the pickup tube for rtv pieces, it’s a known issue

[@carantix]

We didn’t show it on camera but we did lol. We can say that there were a couple of pieces in there ://

[@andrew6776]

That motors gonna blow lmao y’all are dumb for that 😂

[@carantix]

Hopefully not😂😂

Kid where is the numbers?

[@carantix]

In the butt for now😂😂 We’ll actually Dyno the car in the near future!
