Project S2000: Part 33 – Turbo Installed (Not Yet Boosting) and Sorting Things Out

  • Khiem Dinh

The interesting bit that happened while testing was when I removed the stock PCV from the valve cover and replaced with it an open flowing fitting. What happens is the stock PCV is actually a bit of a flow restrictor. By replacing it with a completely open fitting, a vacuum leak path is essentially created with air able to be sucked into the engine by way of the valve cover breather. The result was a jumpy and high idle. After I put the stock PCV back in, the engine idled perfectly again.

I used the Mity Vac to test the operation of the check valves. Here you can see the valve staying shut and holding a vacuum showing the valve was operating as designed.

I used the Mity Vac to check the PCV was operating properly.

Aside from being able to buy all sorts of hoses, clamps, and fittings from McMaster, you can buy Gatorade too! My local grocery store and Home Depot do not carry Gatorade in powder form. Lowes does, but they are a bit of a drive from my home.

Eimer Engineering did a great job placing the Ford Shelby GT500 heat exchanger into the front bumper opening. There’s an air gap above the heat exchanger allowing cool air to go around the heat exchanger. The Baero bumper duct provides another source of cold air for the turbo intake.

I got the Baero front bumper ducts with the 2.5” hose end.

    There’s a better picture in the link below. It’s a rubber mount/sleeve the pump slides into. Once the engine is running, you cannot hear the pump from inside the car. Outside the car, you really have to listen for it and stand near the corner where the pump is mounted to notice it. So no more worries on pump noise! I was over-thinking things a bit there.
