    I was scrolling through the front page and the thumbnail "first drive in the drift truck" came up. Got all hyped up and then realized it was when you were towing it around the shop 6 months ago.

    • @_Gingium_
      @_Gingium_  5 лет назад +5

      The bung on my Flyin Miata kit is a very similar location and has been for years. Oil will still drain out of the turbo. Why do you think it needs to be moved up?

    • @destin6041
      @destin6041 5 лет назад +72

      Gingium it needs to be above the level where oil will sit in the pan otherwise it will not drain properly and cause the turbo to smoke. Especially with these cheap turbos.

    If you have an issue with the turbo having clearance then you can grind off a little from the block (right under the engine code stamp) and a little off from the casting to the right of it
    With that turbo kit you can run AC and power steering that's why there's so much space on the right lol
    Also definitely shouldn't use those cheap gaskets that they include. Either stainless or Copper gasket sealant

    That Honda is like 1,3 I presume ? How much the turbo actually benefits the little Honda ? Also Honda´s bulletproof reliability might take a blow.

    Turbo should be turned the other way shouldn't it? Makes more sense and would look better. Also that drain bung is wayyyy low.

    Cool of you to help the kid, but I'm curious why he never tried to do it himself, because he knows enough to have done all the research, buy a kit, mod the ecu... Is he not mechanically inclined? Missing tools?

    Just a bold idea: why dont you install turbo kits for people in your neighbourhood to make decent cash so you can grow your channel even further?
