    K- nuts - Slimline and strong locking nuts.

    Hi, I would avoid those K nuts Merlin sells for this application, as they are not rated for very high temps. You can get high temp ones from Demon Tweaks or Raceparts & the like if you are set on using K nuts... Like this > Demon Tweeks Metric Hi Temp Aerospace Locknut (K-Nut) - Demon Tweeks...

    Two options ... CRY or JUMP off a Cliff!!!..

    Hi, PM me an email address & I will send you the factory take on how to perfom a leak test at the TIP, & the max pressure to be used. Edit Just so you know it can take sometimes like 10 (being careful) miles or so driving before the smoke will fully clear (assuming no physical seal damage) If...

    Two options ... CRY or JUMP off a Cliff!!!..

    Hi, Hmm you say you they pressurized at the intake hose (TIP) to 30PSI !!! That will be the cause of the smoke then & why it only suddenly appeared after the leak test… however you might find the smoke will clear with some miles as S3dave has suggested. Its risky imho using high pressures...

    Dane's Hybrid Conversion Thread

    Hi Bill, Wow thats some bad run of luck, hope things improve for you. I am guessing the actuator rod on the Forge unit is binding on the little blue guide/spring retainer ? I have previously had this occur with a brand new Forge K04 unit after the engine/turbo had seen a few heat cycles...

    Hi Bill, Thanks for your update, interesting stuff indeed. Excellent news the turbine clipping appears to have eliminated any surge occuring, air flow looks very stable in your plot. Best of luck with it for todays tweaks. Regards Morgan

    Hi Bill, I would have personally thought with pressure reference/regulation removed from the actuator, & the white Forge spring boost would be a lot more in that first plot ! I guess the flapper must be being blown open as you suspect.. What will be your next steps ? Regards Morgan

    Hi, I think the actuators CR use "might" be Garret ones, although I am not 100% certain on this. When I discussed the actuator behaviour with CR they said it was not an issue any other K04.2x hybrid user had previously reported. Regards Morgan

    Dane's Hybrid Conversion Thread

    Hi Bill, Hmm you would certainly kinda expect more boost than is being seen with that N75 DC even with the oddly behaving actuator. I think you might have hit the nail on the head that the wastegate flapper is being forced open by the exhaust gasses. In fact I did experience something...

    Do you have a 118 log you can share Bill ?

    big turbo guys :)

    Hi Tony, Thanks for the update. Indeed the compressor housing inlet is machined to a very thin wall thickness to accomodate the 2283 wheel.. so over tightening the grub screws could certainly damage it.. Regards Morgan

    big turbo guys :)

    Hi Tony, If you don't mind me asking do you know what caused your turbo failure yet ? I am assuming its your compressor wheel that has shattered blades (foriegn body ingestation etc) ? Regards Morgan

    Hi Welly, My boost has always been controlled via the N75 with this hybrid... however previously in an "open loop" type manner. Regards Morgan

    Dane's Hybrid Conversion Thread

    Hi Bill, Mapping wise very little has been done.. mainly due to it taking a back seat to customers vehicles, but also plenty of little unrelated hardware issues to be resolved.. fix one thing & in a matter of days I find something else needing attention.. Leaking core in a few months old...

    Hi Slappy, Thanks for the comments. Spool is certainly not any real issue as you note.. however I am experiencing some very light surging. It’s not so bad pressure starts to fluctuate, but certainly flow can be a little unstable at lower rpm’s when stepping on the gas unless I limit the...

    Hi Bill, I am told the runners are 35mm. Unfortunately I am still suffering a bit after the op... I just can't sit still & rest to let everything heal (Get bored very quickly!) but thanks for asking :) Apologies again to Dane for taking his build thread slightly off topic ! Regards Morgan

    Hi Welly, If you do find it then it would be most appreciated if you can point me too it, because if this was last year then the logs in theory can only have come from my own TT... & I don't remember posting any ! (That said my memory is ****e) I did post a log recently at Bills request here...

    Hi Welly, Do you have any data or links you can share from the example(s) you have seen/heard about ? As far as I know only two are actually in existence... mine & one that I think was sold to someone from SCN but I have not heard anything more about that one… hence my interest in what you...

    Hi Bill, You think the TSR one is not up to the job then ? Or is it a cost/time scale thing that rules it out. Regards Morgan

    Another hybrid conversion thread....

    Hi Guys, Firstly Welly I am very sorry to hear of your 034 mani issue, sounds like your luck is very similar to mine ! In regards the TSR manifold & costs, you would not believe how difficult & time consuming these are to make, & TSR understand there may not be a huge market for them given...

    Dyno day at Badger 5-November 6

    Hi Leshkin, I have taken a look at the logs Bill made as per your request. Whilst I can see why Bill might think more timing could or should be added, I would personally be looking at why boost has dropped first before considering map tweaks to dial in more advance. When you last popped...
