IMO the best spring to use is the lowest possible, so 3-4 psi depending on the size of your gate. This will allow you to have traction in first on the street and with a 4 port solenoid you can still make 30 psi if you want to.

Bays coming along nicely there, not much left I see till a startup.
Yea they are dual 44mm tial MVR wastegates. Possibly be pushing more than 30ps. Might go for .6 spring since I probably won't be lower than 10 psi in first.Quote:

thanks for all the help guys and if you can think of anything else that could help I'd appreciate it.
I would be surprised if you can have traction with that much boost. But if you're not too concerned with that, the 7 psi spring will be fine for everything else, especially if you use a 4 port solenoid.
What does everyone think about having two bungs welded onto my radiator?.? One welded to the top and one welded to the bottom to feed coolant to my turbo? I think this will be the best and easiest way to route the water lines.
Let me know what you think!
I just T'd into my throttle body lines...
Ya. Have you checked out my build yet. ;) everything and almost anything is tucked or shaved so no heater lines.. no tb lines. No nothing besides coolant from radiator to engine and back to radiator. I think it would work great to just have a fitting on top and bottom of mishimoto radiator and then I wouldn't have to worry about waiting for thermostat to open or anything and would always have coolant flowing to the turbo when system is pressurized and might be cooler? Idk.
Just looking for some opinions on it before I commit. Lol
I wouldn't personally I'd leave them hoes open don't run water lines to them.
What for? From anything I've read BB turbos benefit from them and keep from wearing out as fast..Quote:

Setup for drag, not so important due to the short amount of time run. Temps come in fast, so they don't heat up internals to serious levels.
All in all it depends the real use for the turbo and application.
Sorry.
just tap somewhere for coolant. Like that ktuned swivel neck
Ya. I wanted the hoses to be somewhat hidden and not up toward the top of the engine. I might take a look at that tho. If I tap the ktuned coolant neck maybe I could use the original drain from the radiator for the other line?Quote:

Do you have oil cooler lines like on the 8th gen? Could tap there.
But he would want an hoses and fittings, taping there wouldn't work
Push lock to AN fitting, that's all he'll need.Quote:

I hate wiring.. is it pretty much as easy as hooking all 3 red to positive 12v and blacks to ground then plugging them all in?
Taking baby steps. Anyone have any advice that's has ran these before?...
Spaz maybe...
I don't know about the wires, but use honda bond on any pipe thread involved with those fittings.
Tap into the 12v wire in the steering column for this. I just ran all 3 blacks to a new ground point on the chassis.Quote:

No sorry.. Probably 3/8 NPT or something
This is what I'm doing. Running 1/2" npt to -6an from the swivel neck and 3/8" npt to -6an from my upper coolant neck(k24)Quote:

Beautiful build [MENTION=1079]My06_types[/MENTION]! Looking forward to the remainder of the build, as I'm sure you are. I also thought you were [MENTION=30]06_typeS[/MENTION] for a second, as he sold his blue DC5 after he got his NSX.
:welcome::to::boostedk20:
This build is just jaw dropping how nice and clean it is 0_o
Where did you get that hybrid racing throttle body plug? i need one
