hey all got a new turbo for my car a t04e from Sliding Performance.... got the 3 and half inch dump pipe put on at same time... This new turbo is putting out some serious heat when i drive it hard for 6 mins u cant even touch the outside front guard and when u lift the bonnet there is so much heat under there i dont know what to do?... I have left the heat shield off so that it doesnt trap all that heat under there.. I am buying a new bonnet with some vents in it hoping that would help i dont know what to do i dont want it melting my power steering container which is getting so hot

Any help would be appreciated thanks

i really dont wnat to get rid of this turbo it hammers on 13 pound of boost.. just ask my mate in this TT300 lol..... if he can keep up

Its a good indicator of why the factory places heat shielding over the OE install. You should really look at getting something in place to avoid frying everything. Wiring, rubber hoses etc will all suffer.

FWIW, the air gap between turbo/manifold/dump etc is what actually insulates and keeps the head from radiating past the shield itself.

how is a bigger front mount going to stop heat from the exhaust housing?

you should look into putting the heatshield back on, or get a custom made one and also get a turbo blanket and look at some thermal wrapping for the dump pipes

With the new turbo the car spools and runs harder and faster and i can drop it in 3rd and fishy at 130.

I know with the new turbo it will obviously get hotter because of the obvious size difference and how much it flows.

It has a 600x300x76 fmic on it which i also brought from Sliding Performance which Matt Spry at P.I.T.S said is enough for the application.

But how/what sheild/protect can be made or sourced to help the turbo dissipate its heat.

I have been told buy the guy i had fit the turbo that i should leave the heat sheild off as there is minimal heat difference with it on as the standard one is crap and you can only hold it on by 1 screw as the exhaust housing is too big for it.

You can buy the same heat shield in the xr6T and then cut and place it in the right places, If you are having those sort of heat issues, then you might already melted of your abs wiring and stuffed up your front right shock, Also get a heat blanket and contoured it to your front shock tower, so the rest of the wiring wont be melt also.

Also another way to get heat out of the engine bay is to rip of that rubber trim just below the windscreen and maybe lift your bonnet up a little/ drift style.

Thanks Hungry

I dont have abs its a SII without lol

But nothing is melting or anything ill get one of the heat absorbsion blankets.

I have already ordered a 400r Style bonnet off Aaron to go with the rest of my body kit it has a vent over the radiator so hopefully it will sort out some heat.

But really i sort of wanted to know is there any sheild that would protect things like my power steering resivior.

But thanks ill get the heat blanket and see how i go.

what type of car is it? when do u hit boost? was this a bolt on? im guessing not? sorry bit off the topic but i wouldnt mind knowing your set up? pm me if u like? thanks!

As above got the To4e rebuilt from Sliding Performance

Journal bearing

Spool sounds like a jet engine

R33 Series 2

Hits full boost at 3300-3400rpm now 14psi

FMIC kit from Aaron

Exhaust 3.5" turbo back

Direct replacement of old turbo as it was my old turbo just bored out intake and bigger exhaust housing.

stock dump pipe bolts straight up and had the oil lines and the bolts that go into the oil and water input and output of the turbo made a little larger to improve flow of oil and water.

With Japanese fitted Mines ECU

Having it dynoed with the new/new turbo in a few weeks

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
