RXtacy's slooow build up

[RENESISFD]

It looks like you are flattening out the tubing when making the bends. What bender and stainless are you using, also what wall thickness?

Thanks for the compliments on my build. I plan to replace the stock hardlines with -8 lines this winter under the car.

I'm just putting in my Adaptronic, still trying to figure out how to set up everything to log EGTs and AFR and use those for running closed loop, well, AFR anyway. I've been using an APEX'i AVC-R, but I've thought about switching to the internal boost controller in the ECU. I really love the peak hold of the AVC-R though, I use it quite often since I try to keep my eyes on the road while in boost instead of watching the boost gauge lol. Although I should probably watch that too.

Has the wait time on the EFR line gotten better these days?

Adaptronic should be able to log MAP as well right?

What the hell is with that?! I've never seen that before.

Not sure, kinda annoyed by it.

That is awesome! I've been wanting to do at least AN fittings and lines on the turbo coolant lines, and do something for the WG coolant lines, but I'm loving these hard lines. Excellent work!

What are you using now?

The supply line to the front wastegate was the first one I did. I think the first 90° bend off the wastegate flattened out a bit. I don't think it's enough to worry about, but good eye. I'm getting better as I go

I'm using the mastercool bender, and 1/4" .020 wall 316L stainless tubing.

Yeah I've heard it's gotten much better, don't have to wait near as long. Unfortunately I have to wait for the money though because the price has gone up a bit too lol. I don't know for sure yet if it can log MAP, I'll have to check on that.

Yeah I'd be annoyed too haha.

I'm just using rubber hose for the turbo coolant feed and return lines and have them wrapped in heat barrier, and I'm not running any cooling lines to my wastegates yet.

That hardline setup is sweet, what kind of fittings are you using and how does it seal up at each one, single or double flare?

Maybe the price increase has something to do with the availability

I would be surprised if it couldn't, and I would definitely want to log MAP.

Steel or aluminum fitting coming off the turbo? I've seen coolant feed lines melt several times now. Using steel fittings instead of aluminum and having it properly clocked for thermal siphoning seemed to alleviate that however.

Thanks. They're AN tube nuts and sleeves. Single 37° flare.
