Preparing the Turbo Micra for its First Start - Turbo Micra Ep.3

[@heinzkot360]

Next time use less sealant on the pan. All the access material inside may come loose and can clog up the oil pickup. Also parts of it may run trough the oil system.

[@the_mintiest_micra]

Cheers for the advice, I did think i put a bit much and thought I might run into issues, but I wanted to make sure there were no leaks as the pan wasn't perfectly straight anymore. I'll keep an eye on it as time goes by👍

[@heinzkot360]

@@the_mintiest_micra as a rule of thumb All acces material you can see on the outside will also hang inside the pan. Less is more 👍 Also its better to have a leak then a compromised oiling system 😁 Keep up nice content ;)

Just found this channel and I can say that is very interesting project, I definitely will stay tuned

[@the_mintiest_micra]

[@the_mintiest_micra]

Thanks man, happy to hear you liked the content. I really appreciate it. More coming really soon!👍

Good to see u back lad

Been watching ur videos on tictok since the start love the car man

[@the_mintiest_micra]

Cheers mate👍

[@volvtech7773]

Here from the speeduino. I'm a Volvo guy myself but turbo swapping something you are going to want to run some sort of reducer for your turbo oil speed. You don't want a oil high flow going to your turbo.

[@the_mintiest_micra]

Cheers for the input. As of now, I've got a proper braided oil feed line that reduces the flow to the turbo. Video on that will be out soon.👍

[@cskalle1213]

to high oil pressure in the turbo? does that make the turbo, leak oil into either intake or exhaust side of the turbo?

[@volvtech7773]

@@cskalle1213 it's something to do with ball bearing turbos. Look up turbo oil feed restrictors

[@steakandchips9046]

​@@cskalle1213 Basically yes turbo oil seals are not designed to deal with pressure

[@CurboroughSprinter]

Mild concern - isn’t the turbo oil inlet supposed to be at the top and the drain at the bottom? Your setup might cook your turbo due to lack of oil. Loving the fact you just get stuck in where so many just dream.

[@the_mintiest_micra]

Good spot, the video was filmed a while ago, since then I've changed the set up around a bit and got the feed up top and the drain down, some stuff was temporary just to get the car running👍

[@gavinearls9122]

Much prefer the long form KZbin to tiktok myself, great content as always!

[@the_mintiest_micra]

Cheers mate, happy to hear it and really appreciate it. 👍

[@Silythx]

Can`t wait for the next video

[@automaniac5458]

Nice compression test brother🤣🤣

[@owenplumley4282]

hey man, mint project! can you write up a guide of what you did please? Cheers

[@the_mintiest_micra]

I'm planning on making a video summarising all the work done to the car fairly soon as it's almost done.👍

[@sodexo9994]

Can you tell me what name has the tune programme please? Btw this project is really cool 🔥

[@the_mintiest_micra]

I used Tunestudio to load and set up the tune on the ECU. Thanks👍

[@jacobrush1219]

E10?? In a car with rubber fuel lines? Are you planning on running it all the time on E10 or just for initial start up to let the ethanol eat out any crap?

[@the_mintiest_micra]

Unfortunately E10 is the only type of fuel we have in Ireland, even premium is E10. Long term I’ll have to either try some additive or do some sort of conversion, not sure yet.

[@jacobrush1219]

Oh my. I'm in Australia and lucky in the sense of e10, 91 unleaded, 95 and 98 octane and now e85

[@the_mintiest_micra]

If only it was the same here...😆🥲

[@steakandchips9046]

Top tip young man you punch gaskets out, just like when working with leather 😉

[@ciaranboyle311]

Your doing a great job modifying the micra.I have one concern regarding the battery relocation.it's not safe.I've been modifying cars for years.if you want more info just ask me

[@the_mintiest_micra]

Cheers mate, I definitely agree that the battery relocation is sketchy, I’ll have to revisit the idea before the car gets on the roads to make sure everything is safe👍

[@ciaranboyle311]

When you get it all dialed in and up and running you can bring it to !y workshop and i,'ll give you a hand with the battery relocation.I'm in Drogheda.if you want?

[@the_mintiest_micra]

@ciaranboyle311 Cheers for that mate, it'll be a while til I get this thing on the road so I'll try sort out the battery sooner, I know it's quite sketchy the way it's wired up now😆👍

[@diogolunatico]

Ótimo Trabalho. 🇧🇷

[@Itzz_philippxz]

Nice to hear the car cranking again, how much hp are you thinking of getting?

[@the_mintiest_micra]

I'd aim for at least triple digits, 100 to 120 would be amazing👍 Also, you can hear a bit more than just cranking if you watch all the way to the end😏

[@bassman9544]

Just found this channel, m8 fix that monobrow to a stereo brow :D

[@vancemacd6315]

It's spark related my guess.

[@the_mintiest_micra]

You’ll find out very soon in the next episode.👍
