turbochargin w/ pics now

[NRDriver]

im finally doin it. turbochargin my car.
im making a replacement for the supercharger prices went through the roof and i only have 2000$
so here is where i am at spending about 1400$
im doing all of the fabrication and work myself so i dont have to pay for labor.

so here are some pics of the project
heres the BOV i put on my CAI extension


droppin my exhaust to drop the fuel tank for the fuel pump

the 190lb pump differences. took a few small modifications

i may be wrong but the fuel pump kit URD use to sell for the 1mz was discontinued a while ago. i looked into it and asked URD a while back and they said that kit wouldnt not work on the 1mz. the pump is the same but the housing apparently isnt the same...or so they told me.

all u need is a walbro 190 fuel pump, and 4 fuel - o rings from ur dealership (should be a few cents each ring).

Then shave down the white end of the fuel pump which goes towards the gas tank or connects to the strainer. Do this with the dremel, shave off the raised edges and take off about .10 of an inch of the plastic. It should then fit perfectly.

^^Yep...I got mine from URD with the assumption that the housing for the pump would have to be modified slightly. Not that big of a deal, Vik's got it right.

[Dawgz]

Here, maybe this will help u and future "modders" for the fuel pump.

After u have shaven down the unneccessary plastic, ur fuel pump end should look like this.




u will also have to cut a notch in the end cap of the stock end cap. the notch is just so the strainer can fit thru.

These last two pics are taken from the URD manual...

Here is how the orings should look once installed, i stated u needed 4 orings, but the pic has 5, this is because the 5th oring which is on the end is from ur old fuel pump (this portion goes into the fuel pump housing)




and this is the end cap i was talking about, this is how the end result should look after u have fun with the dremel

Thanks,

Anyone know which walbro 190 to use (GSS250/GSS278)? The only difference between the two is that the inlet and outlet of the GSS250 is inline, and the inlet and outlet of the GSS278 is offset.

[Dawgz]

if the outlet is offset, u dont want that, u want each end to look like the pics i posted above.

[Dawgz]

so i think the gss250 should do it

[NRDriver]

new pics. check it out

[Dawgz]

Nice! glad to see someone doing some fabrication!

anyway, any time of estimated finish time on the project? how much boost ur gonna run?

be carefull with how much boost u decide on going to.

man... good freakin luck.

kudos to you that you're taking a path only a few have done.
