The Turbo Lives!!! Oil & Water Line Install (Broke & Boosted Ep12) 

Thank you very much for this video this is the only video I have came across that actually explains the water lines and oil lines properly,

thanks for all the videos Greg! I've been basing my build off of yours, so far it's going well!

in the process of turbo charging my 1999 nb mx5, these videos are a massive help! keep up the good work my man 👍

that's awesome work Greg, I'm barely starting to upgrade my miata and I own it for three years. it is nice to have some guide to look back to make sure you are doing it correctly . keep up the good work

Im new to MX-5s and am loving these vids! Thanks man.

your videos have improved so much, not that they werent great before, youve just reached that next level recently and theyre so well made

love the videos man I look forward to all your videos can't wait for intercooler piping pt.2!!!

Awesome vid as always

love the videos greg keep up the good work!!!!!!

Great content man, enjoying every video! Fanboy right here 😂

Yaaaas! Been waiting for this!

Keep it up dude, great vids.

I love your channel just found it when I was looking for t3 flange and hwat it is lol! good work!

When you've finally noticed you're all caught up on the series. ;-; I'm amazed by the fact you only have 26k almost 27k subs (26,846 to be exact so when I look back at this near the end of summer if I get a Miata I can compare, lol). You deserve so much more!

Love the videos man

Well, I've had my NA for 3 weeks now. I cannot wait until it's up and running 100%. Then it's onto performance mods!

I'm so happy that this series is going so well. This is the channel that convinced me to by my miata, and start my build. (Torsen just ordered and going in in a few weeks) I'm still terrified about it, but this REALLY helps. Thank you. :) Also, seriously, who downvotes a video like this? I mean really?

Well you have just helped me to do my turbo cheers

thanks again buddy!!

Whos watching this in 2019 almost 2020?

YESSSS you're a Ronald Jenkees fan!!!! The man's a genius!

Glad I caught this series... I'm going to spend a bit more money (AEM EMS-4 shows up this week... 5th car that I'll have tuned ) but awesome to see that it can be done barebones

The long awaited moment of the boooost! Oh and you should get your miata on the smoking tire, that would be awesome!

Love the videos Greg, I only went and bought an NB VVT 6 Speed two weeks ago, oops! The thing is hilarious, endgame is to have it boosted, as time and money allow of course. I like both your cars, and especially their differing approaches, it's refreshing, keep up the good work

So close to being finished!!

Minor correction: 94-95.5ish miata also have the the bolt you can remove from the block on the exhaust side for oil feed. I know because have an early 95 :) Nice video!

I understand how to do a turbo build besides the lines thnk u for video

I'm loving this series....... keep up the good work!

Awesome work! I'm still scared shit less of mounting my stock turbo up to my mx6 haha, the cars 25 years old so I'm just hoping every thing works without breaking since I'm using most of the old stuff off the blown turbo that I got with the car like the oil / coolant fittings all that jazz

Love the Ronald Jenkees shirt!

Your white balancing has gotten much better. Keep up the great work man, you deserve more subs.

When you drew a face on him and he had little crab arms on lost my shit

Good Stuff

nice video...straight to the point...sick of long-winded, "look ma' I'm on tv", videos. Thank you👍

earlier 1.8 miatas has got the same high pressoure oil feed on the block like the 1.6 (for example phil from car throttle)!!

You the best

Finally!!!

ronald jenkees! that dude is awesome!

MAAAAD BOOSTTT!

thats a fresh ass shirt

Now I have seen most of your videos.... (in one day)... and now we play the waiting game.... and we wait. and we wait. and still waiting.

Hey man, nice video as always. I have a quick miata question for you, my car stumbles, or misfires at 2000rpm, what could be the cause? I already replaced the coil, plugs and spark plugs wires. Thank you for your videos, and keep up the good work!

Greg your like a fucking wizard. So much fucking wisdom that he spreads through every video, love your shit man! :D

Dude's rocking a Ronald Jenkees shirt?! Stay crunchy people.

hell yea ronald jenkees

Its hit or miss with oil restrictor. Don't use them. They are not precise and always load your turbo up with poorly regulated oil causing that unwanted blue smoke and shortening expensive turbo bearing life. I use the TurboSmart OPR. Its a turbo oil feed regulator that feeds your turbo a steady regulated 40psi of oil to your turbo at all times. It has a oil drain back return as well so there is never any turbo oil loading that is a very unwanted condition. Also install the TurboSmart in line oil filter as well. Its vital that oil being delivered to your turbo is filtered. You are now up to date on proper turbo oiling the right way.......your welcome👍

I see that Ronald Jenkees tee ;)

When will the next episode be out!! I can't wait!! xD

What turbo and manifold is that ?? Really want to boost mine x love the videos man keep it up will definitely keep watching them !

Hey Greg I've always thought the first year 1.8 had a high pressure feed factory

Hi Could you do a video on how to connect the exhaust to the turbo?

Fuck eh, I'm in the process of putting a turbo on my 1.8 and didn't think of running water lines that way! Thanks and good job!

can you do a video on how you upgraded to coil on plug?

Fuck yes!

So I actually installed my Racing Beat intake today (ended up breaking my AFM...) Where does the AFM go on a turboed car?

nice ronald jenkees shirt

it looked like you were nervous on tj romping on your car lol if only you were on the east coast thatdudeinblue couldve properly reviewed your car

Would the applications you use on your NA, also be practical on the NB2 (2004)? I have been following your build, and I want to do something very similar. Ive started to gather parts- but I dont know what the ECU will do under boost on an NB- if it will react the same as an NA. For reference, I want to run a comfortable 8lbs with no ECU or tuning card. Eventually I would like to get a MS and go up to 12lbs and aim for 200hp. Also, do you know if having a turbo will have any adverse effects since it is a VVT engine? Thanks for the great videos!

Please can you send the link for the fitting you used for the oil feed line to the turbo

So in a nutshell you could put a downpipe on from there and your Miata would have a turbo but just not boosting the motor. So would it whistle Greg?

so I'm trying to pick a restrictor and there seems to be no information on what thread pitch the t25 is. I'm finding plenty of 1mm restrictors but they all have different pitches. I'm sure I'm overthinking this and one size does not fit all.

Hey man! I really enjoy your videos and am looking forward to buying a miata myself. What kind of fuel economy do you get with the big boosted miata.. do you have sequential injection on that? .. btw there should be a name for that beast :P Keep it up - cant wait for the next episode :) Greetings from Germany!

how long is ur return line? and do u know if the return/drain line is pressurized or uses gravity when it drains out?

and the tires are 195/50/15 they are streched

"Sick water lines, bro." - Street Cred People Needs more red anodized AN fittings, if I'm honest. Haha

The 1.8's have the same high pressure oil feed, just so you know

You don't need a restrictor for journal bearing, right???

Did you re-use the OEM manifold nuts again? Because mine don’t clear and I can’t get them to thread on.. please help!!

I found this video particularly funny...

hey Greg! love watching your videos! super helpful. this might be something obvious I completely missed but just wondering what you do with the o2 sensor where it's in the manifold do you drill it into your exhaust? and as well my 95 has a maf would I just leave that on the intake before the manifold?

love your channel very helpful info if you get a chance could you make a tire fitment video I'm having trouble with mine no matter how much I roll the fenders I can't get my front fenders tostop rubbing and I'm not sure what else I should do

so I heard from a "buddy" that you bought some stage 69 carbon windshield wipers? ps I'm moving to SD soon for college I hope to see your miata on da streets

Simple but awesome. Genius water routing bruh! Most efficient. Will copy liberally and credit appropriately when I can bring spidey from the stone age to the golden turbo age. Been eying the cast 1.8 manifold as a possible candidate for a mirror of this build to give 1.8 kiddies an option. I know egr would be an issue, and I would have to have a shop fab the down pipe. Any thoughts based on your experience with this build so far?

So I am planning on putting a turbo on my stock 93 Miata. The pnp version of megasquirt is a bit expensive for me atm, but would the non pnp model such as the pre assembled megasquirt 2 still work just as well besides the whole pnp part? I'm constantly researching the whole Miata turbo idea so any words of advice would be appreciated. Anyway keep making the great content!

You didn't seem happy when TJ was driving your car

Damn it. Saw broke and boosted episode 1 a few hours ago. Didnt pay attention to the upload dates and assumed it was an older series. So found the playlist and watch all of them in order. Waited for next video to start only to realize this was the most recent one and another one wasnt going to play. Now i am impatiently waiting for the next episode. What do i do with life until the next episode.......

how do I find out what size restrictor I need? Garrett T25 journal bearing, it's off a saab

what's your option on rubber hose vs braided ss hoses and clamps vs an fittings ??

How much feet of oil line would I need for the oil feed ? Would 4 feet be suffice ?

Is your turbo ball bearing?

So when is the next vid coming out?

Hey Greg! I have a 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse (a true rice god I know) and I have been thinking about turbo charging my car for a while now. I was wondering if the basic steps of your tutorial would apply to all vehicles. I understand of course that the small calculations and vehicle specific parts will vary, but the sequence of steps and the parts you will need to make a proper boost build should remain relatively the same correct? Love your channel and thanks for all the help you've given everyone!

water line required or just block it off?

did you prime the turbo prior to first start up?

so u dont put and Teflon on the oil feed fittings.?

Hi Greg, just a quick question on the water line fittings , what size are the barbs ?? Thanks :)

I am doing a t25 on toyota yaris 1.5 now. How does the water inlet/outlet differ from oil inlet/outlets?

Should I get the same restrictor for a t3/t4 turbo?

What was the ratio in this FMU unit? What works for miatas? 1.8L 2000 NB here for me

What manifold is that?

what size are those water lines

Hey great video! How do I identify which water line is inlet and outlet? Does it matter?

I think I already know your answer, but, gt2554r vs gt2560r? I currently have the 2554 journal bearing on the Miata. the 2560 looks mighty nice, but I figure i can get a 2554r CHRA and use my existing housings. The compressor wheel and turbine are the same, right?

I keep missing out on what you said I know that you have one of the water hoses attached to the thermostat housing, where is the other one located?

angry turbo at 6:49

I feel like a noob for asking but how did you modify the wastegate bracket?

Links for parts!!!

hi Craig. can you please tell me how many millimeters the oil feed line has to be I bought my oil feed line with 6 millimeter inner diameter and the fittings are 4 millimeter is that okay or does the line and the fittings need to be 4mm? will I blow my Turbo oil seals with what I purchased? Thank you

Ty for the vid. In the process of getting this done on my na6. Any problems with running with AC and PS? Is the Garret worth the extra cash VS China turbo?
