Default Re: BEGi Turbo Kit information/discussion thread

For those of you watching at home...

Today's progress, seems the social media campaign has had a lot more effect than anticipated, we will see if it yields any actual results.

BEGi / Bell Engineering Sorry, I've been out of the office sick with pnemonia. All of the turbo system parts are built except the shield/box for the air filter, and the oil return pump needs a mounting bracket. All other items are done. Including the: intercooler, turbo to exhaust, intercooler tubes, etc. Parts have been removed as of last week to make fixtures to reproduce the parts. All fixtures are made except one intercooler tube, oil pump mount, and the sheild/box for the air filter. We have someone coming in Thursday to bolt everything back up on the car. If it all fits well, we are sending the tubes to powder coating. While the tubes are being coated, we will bolt on the FMU for testing and install the coolant and oil lines. The car running depends on a couple of things. But it should be running in about 10 days.

John Tilka Thank you for the update. Is there any additional info on how the tune is going to work? I know at first (a long time ago) it was based on a Kleeman technique, but not sure if that worked out or has been scrapped for another option. We have been told for about 6 months there would be updated photos on the website, any chance you could upload some of those for us to take a look over? Thank you

BEGi / Bell Engineering Corky wants to try the fuel pressure regulator first. If that does not work, we will flash the ECU. I will get some photos done this week showing all the tubes and stuff. I will also post some photos of the install as well.

Greg Pylant So you guys have been so busy that the pump that came in before Thanksgiving still hasn't been dealt with at all? FMU ... what happened to ECU? Wasn't programming it the initial intent?
