I don't know that I can drill a hole big enough for .032 in the little 10mm head.
edit: Just called and switched to the .032. Thanks for the advice. so safety wire experts, do you recommend lacing these or the standard twist? I think twisting pairs, on different flanges is the way to go because I creates fail safes on each flange which holds the chra to the housing. I'm also going to do my fluid drain plugs too. This will help me sleep at night. |
unfortunately mcmaster.com only sells down to 1/4-20 in stainless with drilled heads.
can you find your bolts with tall heads or use cap screws with longer heads? |
Oil restrictor discussion:
I had BEGi make a .060, should I go smaller? I am worried that .040 is going to be too little oil for the turbo. |

I wonder what made the top side of the diaphram dirty? It was clean on the inside. I wonder if its sucking in oil vapor from my atmospheric cam vent? |
.060? Is that even a restrictor? lol
I would have recommended .040", but if you're not blowing oil past the seals dont worry about it. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. WTF is cam vent? |
valve cover/cam cover, same thing...lol.

A nice picture with diagrams of you are gonna safety wire would help for critiquing. Chris |
should I do this:

In aircraft maintenance we do it with the twists like the lower picture, definately seems like the stronger way.
|
OK so you got a jig to do it yourself...great. Do you still want another set? Are you going to do Nicks too?
I was going to mention that uglyass oil drain block but I figured it works so leave it alone, but if it hurts clearance...it's ugly. And holy shitznit that EWG is getting hot! It shouldn't be that orange (this was anodized black initially people). I roll with this .035" ATP restrictor. -4 size Oil inlet fitting for GT28/30/35R with built-in restrictor : atpturbo.com http://www.atpturbo.com/mm5/graphics...nlet035-01.jpg |

See here for more diagrams... they only show up to three bolts but you can do as many as you want in a string, just be careful to always have the bolt being pulled in the tighten direction. Safety wire, proper safety wire technique for using safety wire on ultralights, and ultralight aircraft. |

The blow off and WG were the same color at one time, lol. The oil restrictor is drama because BEGi does not use AN thread pitch, its something else. Are you sure that .035 is not too small for tracking? |
I don't know what you should do about it. Lower your EGT's? Go with an LS1? See if it breaks?
|
apparently this is normal, lol.

You want that restrictor, over oiling a bb turbo will kill it. It has much tighter clearances, and does not use oil flow to cool the center section as much as the water does. This is somewhat in converse to a journal turbo where it needs higher flow to maintain an oil film and oil is used to cool everything.

It's your turbo, do what you want. I don't type shit just to exercise my fingers.
