Going single!

[1995vr4]

good evening, recently broke up with my gf so now iv had a lot extra time with my true love (vr4 duh)
i posted on here a while ago about tuning with my 15g's, got them from boostmore in cali and they already have so much play they are hitting the housing after 500 miles wtf! anyway i got a refund for those and it was time to do the clutch so i thought what the heck, why not step it up a bit. i think iv read every single turbo thread on here lol i have the exhaust all mocked up with n/a manis and a a twin scroll t4 flange on it. just havent pulled the trigger on a turbo yet, thinking bw s366 or a t70-76. still slightly short on money so im thinking about using the same tune and putting my 482 maf on the end of it for now. dont see any issue with that for just driving around for a few weeks, and so the ice can clear up on the road. my main reason for this post was to ask you all about the maf translator. any of you have any experience with it on chrome? dont think it should be too hard iv done a good amount of research on it. hopefully will have the rest of the parts here in a couple weeks and ill post some pics! got the stage 4 6 puck in tonight so im making good progress. also any other single turbo advice would be appreciated!

Chrome and MAFT work well together. Good Luck

+1 chrome and MAFT working well together.

just be sure to plan out all of your piping before committing. cardboard, paper towel/toilet paper rolls, duct tape...all work wonders together

[chooch]

Interested what you plan to do with the N/A manifolds

You work fast, well done. Got some specs on the turbo?

Make sure you add some heatshields in there or there's going to be a lot of melted stuff and fire. A turbo beanie will be a good idea too. That heat wrap does sweet fuck all in reality, those pipes as they sit will have no problems destroying that oil feed line, radiator hose, HT leads and rocker cover gaskets for example.

Oh and make sure you put some heat shielding down the firewall, the fluff that's on there won't last long before it smokes up and disappears.

Maybe a little bit late, but have you thought about spinning the turbo 180 degrees and having the downpipe go down around the front? Keeps a lot of heat out of the back of the engine bay where you really don't want it - not an issue if you've got a vented bonnet.

Nice work! Have you checked to make sure your o2 sensor fits under the hood?

[1995vr4]

Yup everything fits under the hood just fine even both o2's, have to run 2 since I'm on chrome and need one for closed loop. I have a deft racing fiberglass hood that has dual vents to where the rear turbo used to be and also where the factory air cleaner was. The two higest heat areas for this setup so that should help a lot. A lot of the stuff isn't 100% finished like the oil line and all that jazz iI still have a lot of work to do these next two days. And I bought hundreds of feet of heat tape everything is getting covered with that haha. And more wrap for the exhaust too

Looking awesome. Once you're up and running, consider moving the throttle body to the other side, it fits nicely and saves about 1m of intake pipe length.
