Phazer Build

I think you want to keep the hose as low as possible because there is no pump to pull oil from the turbo like other rear mount kits.

i think that hose is a return line back to motor so it shouldnt be a big problem

He is correct. You never want a turbocharger oil drain line running "up hill". Down only. Flat is okay for a short run, but never up. Remember fluid pressure and volume are inversely proportional. So, even if you have high oil pressure feeding the turbo, the orifice on the oil feed side of the bearing is so small, and the orifice on the oil outlet side is so large, that you probably have just a few psi of oil pressure on the return line. You need the help of gravity here.

The reason you want gravity's help is when the turbo is hot and you turn the engine off... the oil coming out of the exhaust side can coke (yes the word is coke) if it is not alreadey coked, and will flow back into the bearing housing and sit on the bottom of that bearing. Then it cools and over time causes a residue build up. Bad news for bearing life.

Well, I got the phazer back together and everytime I try to start it it runs for a couple of seconds and the quits with a code 30 which is low oil pressure. I also checked and I have no oil at the turbo yet, how many starts did it take you guys before she ran right after install? I have started it about 5 times??

 

[yukonranger]

I got her running, it took about 1.5 hrs of stressing and fiddlin but she purring away

It's about time for an update so here goes, I pulled an all nighter on sat. night and went riding on sunday and this thing is fuckin amazing! I rode a mcx turbo phazer that someone else had built and it was nothing compared to this. My engagement is @ 6900 and I don't bounce off the rev limiter unless I'm on a road or trail where it can spin. The turbo lag that I felt on the other tazer is non existent on this sled. I could go on all day but I'll just post some pics.

I am currently running stock engine on 100LL with 9-9.5 lbs of boost

looks nice what elevation u running i looking for some help clutching for around 10000 ft

looks good man I like that exhaust. How did the mnt tamer suspension work out for you? I cant wait I get to ride mine in a week. And no shim equals no lag.

 

[yukonranger]

I'm lovin the mtn tamer less weight plus strong plus adjustabilty = awesome in my books. No headshim is def the way to go

How much is the mtn tamer? Fellow Yukoner!

What did you do with the plastic cover that fits right in the front of the sled in front of the engine where the charge tube passes through into the bottom of the intercooler? I left mine off for now but a lot of snow is getting in there.

 

[yukonranger]

I cut a hole in it for the charge tube

 

[mxbulldog]

Is that the air filter setup that came with your kit or where did you get that? I am having serious problems in powder.

 

[yukonranger]

I built the air intake box myself and the filter in the pic came with the kit. I have put on a larger filter and it's great.
