TheTurtleshead Posted December 6, 2014 Author Share Posted December 6, 2014 Small Update; I didn't want to use braided rubber AN line for the rear oil-return as I was worried it would melt with the heat. Therefore I am using AN10 hard line & tube nuts, which will feed into a small section of braided hose lower down(away from the heat), to allow a bit of flex. Pics of the line I bent up, and a comparison of a normal AN10 fitting to a Tube-nut flare fitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Sound logic, maybe also a good idea to insulate it to help prevent returning hot oil to the sump? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krister Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 How much power are you aiming for? That single 044 wont do much more than 600bhp. I would consider a Walbro 450. My friend dynoed 700bhp on E85 with a single Walbro which would be the same as 1000bhp on regular fuel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastby4 Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 I use the same turbo kit. two time my water lines are melt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friend dynoed 700bhp on E85 with a single Walbro which would be the same as 1000bhp on regular fuel. Are you sure? I'm not running ethanol at all btw. People in the UK have managed 750-800 hp before on a single 044 with a true -8 feed line, splitting to 2x -6 at the rail, with a -6 return. Turbo's are rated to 780 at this a/r, so aiming for 700. Worst case i'll max this out and add another 044 if it needs more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTurtleshead Posted January 1, 2015 Author Share Posted January 1, 2015 I use the same turbo kit. two time my water lines are melt. Were you using top quality lines from a manufacturer like goodridge, earls, speedflow etc? Did you heat insulate them? Were they rubber or teflon?

Worst case i'll max this out and add another 044 if it needs more. I think Krister is talking real hp (to the wheels). A local maxxed out his bosch at a little more, ~630 rwhp on pump 97ron. Awesome build btw, love those twins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTurtleshead Posted January 2, 2015 Author Share Posted January 2, 2015 (edited) Nice work did you upgrade the wiring top side from the connector to your relay ? Not yet, I've got to look at the best way of doing that... Unpicking all the loom and upgrading the wires or potentially just adding in a new feed and earth, and sneaking them into the relay and hanger plugs where necessary.
