The Turbo Lives!!! Oil & Water Line Install (Broke & Boosted Ep12)

[@williambourgeois5698]

I love coming back and watching the growth! Good job Greg!

[@iGhsTGamingChannel]

When you've finally noticed you're all caught up on the series. ;-; I'm amazed by the fact you only have 26k almost 27k subs (26,846 to be exact so when I look back at this near the end of summer if I get a Miata I can compare, lol). You deserve so much more!

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

+iGhsT Gaming Thanks man! Just trying to put out good stuff and hopefully it keeps growing!

[@raidenmotsimoto7253]

Thank you very much for this video this is the only video I have came across that actually explains the water lines and oil lines properly,

[@stefanslater8342]

your videos have improved so much, not that they werent great before, youve just reached that next level recently and theyre so well made

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

+Stefan Slater I really try to watch them and make some sort of improvement with each one. I still have a lot of things I want to make better!

[@jamesbarros]

I'm so happy that this series is going so well. This is the channel that convinced me to by my miata, and start my build. (Torsen just ordered and going in in a few weeks) I'm still terrified about it, but this REALLY helps. Thank you. :) Also, seriously, who downvotes a video like this? I mean really?

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

+james Thaddeus Lol, there's always a few down thumbs. I love the criticism but I wish they would comment and tell me what I could do better! There are some tips I'll give in the first test drive video that are extremely important for keeping your engine safe after boosting, it's not as scary as everyone thinks! Cheers

[@Kuhchuk1]

Well, I've had my NA for 3 weeks now. I cannot wait until it's up and running 100%. Then it's onto performance mods!

[@darkroguezero6865]

that's awesome work Greg, I'm barely starting to upgrade my miata and I own it for three years. it is nice to have some guide to look back to make sure you are doing it correctly . keep up the good work

[@fabiohenriques9634]

thanks for all the videos Greg! I've been basing my build off of yours, so far it's going well!

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

James Flores That's the trans plate meeting up with the block. It's really dirty.

[@CorbinChristensen]

Minor correction: 94-95.5ish miata also have the the bolt you can remove from the block on the exhaust side for oil feed. I know because have an early 95 :) Nice video!

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

+The Drifting Miata Ohhh yeah totally forgot there were some changes in 1995.5 models. Will add annotation, thanks!

[@wayneclement7201]

Love the videos Greg, I only went and bought an NB VVT 6 Speed two weeks ago, oops! The thing is hilarious, endgame is to have it boosted, as time and money allow of course. I like both your cars, and especially their differing approaches, it's refreshing, keep up the good work

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

+Wayne Clement A properly built and tuned VVT turbo Miata can be the meanest of them all. Those things can spool turbos faster than ANY other Miata motor!

[@wayneclement7201]

+TheCarPassionChannel yeah I was guessing the vvt can be mapped for quick spool, I'm gonna do the suspension and braking first and actually get to know the car, before going built engine, ECU and turbo, it's a long road ahead

[@jimfortyninebones6946]

Im new to MX-5s and am loving these vids! Thanks man.

[@ClassifiedRecon]

The long awaited moment of the boooost! Oh and you should get your miata on the smoking tire, that would be awesome!

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

+Classified Recon It was actually tentatively planned a few months ago, but when I talked to Matt again he said he didn't want to drive it anymore because of the Mazdaspeed he just reviewed. :/ It's all good though I see where he's coming from, he's done a lot of Miatas. There will be a video coming out of the car on another channel pretty soon :)

[@nathanpetrohilos]

Your white balancing has gotten much better. Keep up the great work man, you deserve more subs.

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

+Nathan Petrohilos Thanks man, I'm trying to pay more attention to that stuff. Sometimes things look different in the LCD vs. on the computer screen so it took a little while to learn how to compensate for that. Still trying to find a good clip-on mic to get rid of some of the background traffic noise.

Well you have just helped me to do my turbo cheers

[@exp0se762]

I love your channel just found it when I was looking for t3 flange and hwat it is lol! good work!

[@_Gingium_]

So I actually installed my Racing Beat intake today (ended up breaking my AFM...) Where does the AFM go on a turboed car?

[@DK11DRIFTKING]

+Gingium look at who i found lmao

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

+Gingium If you go MS, you get rid of that ugly AFM! More airflow!

[@_Gingium_]

+TheCarPassionChannel Haha it really is so ugly. Ill defintely be going MS soon then. How does the MS measure airflow then?

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

Gingium Instead of the horrible AFM with a spring loaded door, it measures airflow based on intake temperature and manifold pressure. It gives you a lot of freedom to do whatever you want to the intake system like running a filter right on the front of the turbo and using a BOV without any drawbacks. (If you use a BOV on a turbo car with an AFM or a MAF you run rich between shifts).

[@_Gingium_]

+TheCarPassionChannel So there isnt any big bulky sensor that replaces it!? Thats amazing. Might just have to go MS now haha

[@sethalton205]

Glad I caught this series... I'm going to spend a bit more money (AEM EMS-4 shows up this week... 5th car that I'll have tuned ) but awesome to see that it can be done barebones

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

+seth alton Yep, both ways have pros and cons. My other car is Garrett/Megasquirt/E85 powered, and this one is basically stock everything. Will be fun to drive and get a good comparison.

[@LapLandSystem]

[@jimhiscott2918]

Its hit or miss with oil restrictor. Don't use them. They are not precise and always load your turbo up with poorly regulated oil causing that unwanted blue smoke and shortening expensive turbo bearing life. I use the TurboSmart OPR. Its a turbo oil feed regulator that feeds your turbo a steady regulated 40psi of oil to your turbo at all times. It has a oil drain back return as well so there is never any turbo oil loading that is a very unwanted condition. Also install the TurboSmart in line oil filter as well. Its vital that oil being delivered to your turbo is filtered. You are now up to date on proper turbo oiling the right way.......your welcome👍

[@lukemonsoon3394]

Hey Greg I've always thought the first year 1.8 had a high pressure feed factory

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

Luke Monsoon I believe 94 and 95 1.8's have the feed.

[@MagmaTrevor]

So in a nutshell you could put a downpipe on from there and your Miata would have a turbo but just not boosting the motor. So would it whistle Greg?

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

+Trevor K Yes, hahaha. Yeah it would turbine whistle if you ran the downpipe open.

[@Manuqtix.Manuqtix]

Is your turbo ball bearing?

[@A2RACIN]

so u dont put and Teflon on the oil feed fittings.?

[@SirSoap1012]

I see that Ronald Jenkees tee ;)

[@Queensraces]

how long is ur return line? and do u know if the return/drain line is pressurized or uses gravity when it drains out?

[@siqsteen]

did you prime the turbo prior to first start up?

[@Opt1685]

I think I already know your answer, but, gt2554r vs gt2560r? I currently have the 2554 journal bearing on the Miata. the 2560 looks mighty nice, but I figure i can get a 2554r CHRA and use my existing housings. The compressor wheel and turbine are the same, right?

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

+Opt Good question. I'm not sure if the housings are identical, you might want to contact Garrett. As far as 2554 vs 2560, I have no experience with the 2560R, but I would have a hard time recommending against the 2554R for any reason if you have a 1.6 or early 1.8. If you have a 99+ 1.8 the 60R will probably be better suited.

[@Opt1685]

+TheCarPassionChannel Thanks, it's a 94 1.8. Feels good with the 2554. I'll check with Garrett.

[@daltonhorslen7502]

Hi Greg, just a quick question on the water line fittings , what size are the barbs ?? Thanks :)

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

+Dalton Horslen The water line barbs that hook up to the thermostat housing hoses? 5/16" (8mm)

[@arturofernandez5007]

What turbo and manifold is that ?? Really want to boost mine x love the videos man keep it up will definitely keep watching them !

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

+Arturo Fernandez Just an ebay cast manifold and a Begi "T25/T28" chinacharger.

[@shortthrowphoto7618]

Would the applications you use on your NA, also be practical on the NB2 (2004)? I have been following your build, and I want to do something very similar. Ive started to gather parts- but I dont know what the ECU will do under boost on an NB- if it will react the same as an NA. For reference, I want to run a comfortable 8lbs with no ECU or tuning card. Eventually I would like to get a MS and go up to 12lbs and aim for 200hp. Also, do you know if having a turbo will have any adverse effects since it is a VVT engine? Thanks for the great videos!

[@nickelndiminit5136]

Simple but awesome. Genius water routing bruh! Most efficient. Will copy liberally and credit appropriately when I can bring spidey from the stone age to the golden turbo age. Been eying the cast 1.8 manifold as a possible candidate for a mirror of this build to give 1.8 kiddies an option. I know egr would be an issue, and I would have to have a shop fab the down pipe. Any thoughts based on your experience with this build so far?

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

+NickelNDiminIt Yeah, even though it's the second turbo Miata I've pieced together, I've still had to buy things 2-3 times and not everything fits as expected. The real learning experience will be once it's on the road and I get to start working out the kinks.

[@nickelndiminit5136]

+TheCarPassionChannel So after considering the options and details, I think someone needs to do a companion 1.8 build. You have the 1.6 really well covered, so I am thinking I could probably document the process for the 1.8 using your same formula for the B&B series. I think with a 5 psi wastegate, an FMU, etc. could work well on a 1.8. The key is whether that cast manifold sucks or not. So I think you pushed me over the edge.

[@jonathanduquette408]

Fuck eh, I'm in the process of putting a turbo on my 1.8 and didn't think of running water lines that way! Thanks and good job!

[@ROGUESPIRIT_]

water line required or just block it off?

[@johnberumen1666]

How much feet of oil line would I need for the oil feed ? Would 4 feet be suffice ?

[@jasonramblas336]

love your channel very helpful info if you get a chance could you make a tire fitment video I'm having trouble with mine no matter how much I roll the fenders I can't get my front fenders tostop rubbing and I'm not sure what else I should do

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

+Jason Ramblas What are your wheel and tire specs?

[@jasonramblas336]

+TheCarPassionChannel 15×9 I believe they have 0 offset but I'm not positive on that I bought them used and the guy didn't know all of the exact specs but all I know for sure is that they are 15×9

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

***** 15x9 +0 is very hard to fit under stock fenders without rubbing no matter how much fender work you have.

[@jasonramblas336]

+TheCarPassionChannel what would you suggest I would like to do as little modding as possible because I like the stock fenders look a lot more than something like over fenders but at this point my main concern is just rubbing the front tires constantly

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

***** I suggest not using 15x9 +0. If you want to keep the fenders stock you should consider 15x8 +25 or something similar.

[@saul1679]

how do I find out what size restrictor I need? Garrett T25 journal bearing, it's off a saab

[@mileswatkins6472]

what's your option on rubber hose vs braided ss hoses and clamps vs an fittings ??

[@mileswatkins6472]

at moderate boost 20 psi !

[@321Misfits]

Should I get the same restrictor for a t3/t4 turbo?

[@masonmcconnell676]

So I am planning on putting a turbo on my stock 93 Miata. The pnp version of megasquirt is a bit expensive for me atm, but would the non pnp model such as the pre assembled megasquirt 2 still work just as well besides the whole pnp part? I'm constantly researching the whole Miata turbo idea so any words of advice would be appreciated. Anyway keep making the great content!

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

+Mason McConnell Yep, it works just the same, you just have to build the adapter harness. You can even do a DIYPnP where you build the unit yourself and it's quite a bit cheaper.

So when is the next vid coming out?

[@Hand3521]

So what did you use for the drain line? The rubber hose seems like it would degrade pretty quickly

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

Still holding up to this day 👍 you just have to make sure you get a rubber hose That's rated for oil (not just a coolant or vacuum line)

[@Hand3521]

That's awesome I just turboed my 1.6 and used rubber vs silicone for reasons (cheap). Kinda did a broke and boosted (with mspnp2) and didnt want it to fail prematurely. But if yours has held in socal mine should be good I'm assuming, thanks for the inspiration and videos

[@billytaran2010]

Hey great video! How do I identify which water line is inlet and outlet? Does it matter?

For water it doesn't matter. For oil it matters a LOT. Usually the oil drain will have 2 threaded holes next to the port

[@bakedandsteaked]

+TheCarPassionChannel I can probably have something made like that. How deep do those bolts go and did you just drill and tap?

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

Yeah I just drilled/tapped. All turbine housings are a little different so you might have to mount the bracket on the compressor housing.

Hey Greg! I have a 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse (a true rice god I know) and I have been thinking about turbo charging my car for a while now. I was wondering if the basic steps of your tutorial would apply to all vehicles. I understand of course that the small calculations and vehicle specific parts will vary, but the sequence of steps and the parts you will need to make a proper boost build should remain relatively the same correct? Love your channel and thanks for all the help you've given everyone!

[@fiji320]

i love broke and boosted. i'm planning to Boost my Miata, too. here in Germany we have a company who sell a whole kit with a garett GT 2560. but how should I check my Stock Motor before boosting? i mean, checking the Motor if it need a rebuild or Boost in stock without danger to break it.

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

+Tobi As Not a bad idea to do a compression test just to see if any funny numbers show up, but I wouldn't worry about the stock engine. I originally boosted mine at 176,000 miles and I'm almost at 213,000 now.

[@fiji320]

+TheCarPassionChannel funny. im watching your compression Test Video right now. the company recommend less than 160000 km to Boost. Mine Hits allready 180000 km.

I keep missing out on what you said I know that you have one of the water hoses attached to the thermostat housing, where is the other one located?

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

It goes into the fitting on the block. Stock, the line goes from the thermostat housing into the block fitting. Now, the turbo intercepts that line.

hi Craig. can you please tell me how many millimeters the oil feed line has to be I bought my oil feed line with 6 millimeter inner diameter and the fittings are 4 millimeter is that okay or does the line and the fittings need to be 4mm? will I blow my Turbo oil seals with what I purchased? Thank you

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

My turbo feed has always been -4AN with 1mm restrictor.

[@troysebo3172]

@CarPassionChannel - If one were to remain around 6-8psi but wish to run E85 would the stock fuel pump be able to handle the flow requirements at those PSI's on a NA 1.8 given 550cc injectors. A). Do I need an upgraded pump if I only run max 8psi+E85 B). Would 550cc injectors cut it or do I need the 700cc's? I know you ran your stock pump@12psi for awhile but I take it that was on pump gas!

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

Yeah I'm not quite sure on that. Honestly for $160 or so, it's worth it to just upgrade the pump.

[@Felix311311]

MAAAAD BOOSTTT!

[@jtpark4159]

hey Greg! love watching your videos! super helpful. this might be something obvious I completely missed but just wondering what you do with the o2 sensor where it's in the manifold do you drill it into your exhaust? and as well my 95 has a maf would I just leave that on the intake before the manifold?

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

Sorry I kind of skipped over that information. I actually had the exhaust guy use the last 6" of the stock manifold to use at the bottom of the downpipe. It served two purposes: The flange mated up perfectly to the stock exhaust and it retained the stock o2 sensor bung. But, even if you don't go that route, it's really easy for any exhaust shop to add an o2 sensor bung to your exhaust.

[@jtpark4159]

wicked! thanks for the info Man! not sure if Im gonna try and save my stock manifold or not yet! but I'm definitely gonna keep that as an option

[@tll_outdoors]

Have any issues with your oil return being that low?

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

It's well above the oil level in the pan, which is required for gravity returns

[@SWFlowseeker]

Ty for the vid. In the process of getting this done on my na6. Any problems with running with AC and PS? Is the Garret worth the extra cash VS China turbo?

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

Just go 2" piping on the hot side of the IC to make your like easier. GT2554R destroys the churbo in spool, when I upgraded my other car, it was life changing. I have a video or 2 about the step up from the churbo to the 2554R. Thumbnail says "more power??" I think?

[@SWFlowseeker]

TheCarPassionChannel Very cool. Thx again. Is it foolish to go with the FM kit? Never boosted a car B4. My plan was to go with there kit...in future go with MS and larger injectors to achieve my target of 200whp

[@aaronamachee7004]

What manifold is that?

[@TheMBL15]

what size are those water lines

[@terryloweh]

hey greg, from my research on the interweb, it was mentioned that there is a drain plug for the turbo oil close to the oil filter. is this true? if it is, why choose to drill the oil pan as oppose to just using the pre-existing drain hole?

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

Because to route it over there is a pain, it's on the opposite side of the engine. Plus since turbos drain via gravity, you'd have to ensure the line took a continuous downhill path all the way around the front of the engine.

[@terryloweh]

thanks dude for the quick reply :)

[@63turbo]

I noticed that the anti-surge porting on the compressor housing inlet has been welded shut.. what's up with that? advantages?

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

There was never any anti-surge porting, I had a 3" inlet welded on instead of the normal 2.5" :)

[@63turbo]

Cool! neat trick!

[@63turbo]

I'm doing some modifications to my compressor housing, and having the mods tested on a flow bench. It is freaking amazing how sensitive turbo's are to inlet flow losses, because of the air speeds involved. For example, on my turbo, it is pretty much maxed out at around 400 cfm, and the air speed in the inlet at 400 cfm is roughly 240 mph (!). When the inlet was originally tested, we wanted to first establish how much vacuum was needed (on the flow bench) for the inlet to actually flow that 400 cfm. The guy got up to 33" of water and still hadn't got it to flow 400 cfm, and was thinking about using a larger bench... then he remembered to put a large radius on the opening on the housing. All of a sudden, the vacuum (aka test depression) fell to only 22.8" to flow 400 cfm.
