92 SC400 Turbo build
#31
I am in agreeance with the others on here. I say spend the money wisely and do it right the first time even on a budget. We are telling you from personal experiences and research that has proven to have worked. That is indeed alot for a used turbo but a BW will be more efficient in my eyes. If you asked my opinion, I say continue to look and buy a turbo only once. BW is the only turbo I would buy. I am not saying you have bought a bad turbo but I am saying they are better ones out there for that kind of money. Let us know what your final decision is. Keep us posted.

saved yet again by CL,
guess ill take my time rather than rushing and not being content will the final project, just wanna get some working pics posted for you guys so you can see im serious about the build! I am in search for a good BW turbo but local classifieds seem to have nothing of usable size for me, not really wanting to spend 899 on a new turbo but i guess we will see how it goes! yeah i figured 480 was overpriced also. thanks guys!

You don't have to spend 899 on BW lol , Pm me i will tell you where you can get a brand new BW for almost the price of that used Turbo above!
There is a guy on here that diff a 1UZ swap in his MK3 with BW S366 that thing made some great power ! The S366 has beeen proven to work great on the 1UZ and i think you should stick with what works, it will save you alot of money in the long run.
GL with the project , i can't wait to see the finish product!

Updates guys I am selling my smaller turbo kit on the weekend so I'm buying the s366. Will my 38mm wasted ate be fine? And my size intercooler
Also, what about the flanges I will need? Could I get a link to buy them or do they come with the turbo

I'd recommend to use 44mm wastegate or at least 40mm. That IC is ok for 6 psi of boost. Are you talking about turbo flange or manifold flange?

So now that I am piecing my setup together I have big questions about my ecu and tuning. I have a guy to do the tuning for me who is a regular tuner.
I have been reading about the 1uz having a "weak" factory ECU. Is this true and will I need a standalone or piggy back? And which brand have you guys had good results with

For 6 psi of boost, a piggyback ECU isn't really needed. All you need is a FMU 12:1 and a high flow high pressure fuel pump. I'd rather spend the money on a good turbo and materials than the ECU.
If you want an ECU, what's your budget?

Thanks Stevechumo,
I was only checking if i needed to buy an ECU of if i could do it a different way and your explanation is quite clear. However ive been doing some looking around to find a new fuel pump and am having some troubles, anyone have a link where i can get one?
I read over at LEXTREME that the best place to put the FMU is on the return fuel line also, is this true?

You should get the Denso or Walbro that's to replace the stock pump. You'll only need cut & solder the wires and use zip ties to tie it to the pump bracket. Simple job. Make sure to use oil/fuel resistance wire cover heat shrink.

Found the fuel pump im going to use. Cheap and its paypal so money is safe.
