I think the shop that did changed the heads reused the old gaskets and they finally gave up. Holding well so far, but I need some kind of anode to help hold the new aluminum radiator together.
I had an idea and needed to try it out. Purchased an Amsoil bypass oil filter and head and put it in line with the turbo feed. Already had a 4AN feed hose, so I just needed one more hose. Two 1/8 NPT to 4AN adapters and it's plumbed. I prefilled the filter with Rotella T5 before starting the...
Picked it up from having a new downpipe built. 4" from the S364SXE to the tailpipe. Kid did an awesome job on it, wicked fast too. Now just need the intake elbows welded and ready to run.
Digging up an old thread...
What about plumbing the bypass filter in the turbo oil feed line? I have already converted it to a 4AN hose because of the turbo swap, so 4 AN feed to the filter, outlet the filter to the turbo, and use existing 10AN drain back to the pan?
It's pretty simple, just boost and drive pressure inputs and it just works. I wish it had a TPS input, but unfortunately Steed doesn't own the tech anymore and isn't supporting it.
If anyone wants to give a VGT setup a go, I will be removing mine in the near future. The turbo is leaking oil and needs a rebuild. Instead if fixing it, I'm going to go to an S364SXE/68/0.88T4.
I wish TPS signal was included in the Banshee, to allow for an open veins at idle, then close down as soon as TPS was above 0%. Additionally close the veins slightly under a big delta TPS to get exhaust gas velocity under acceleration as well.
That's the point of closing the veins right? To...
Extremely close. My AC didn't work anyway, so not losing anything by removing the condenser too. I want to find a way to fit a fan on the transmission cooler though.
