Twin turbo ls overheating issue

[johnnunez29]

Heat soak is the issue. A blanket will move the heat out the downpipe. The turbo will reach temps that are never seen in a factory application.

I don’t know what turbo you have, but I’ve never heard of anyone indicating that a turbo blanket will hurt. I’ll agree that one isn’t needed if you have an open engine bay, but you don’t. I’ve melted 3 inner fenders in error - changing them sucks if you want you engine bay to look nice.

turbos are boostlab i believe journal bearing. The gentleman i spoke to said that the enclosed heat can damage the internals. i havent seen many bad reviews on their products but yes they are not a big company

Maybe not a good design?

That is good. Steamline to pump outlet. Good. Should be some suction on the steam line there.

Well it’s installed ran it yesterday up to like 195 but ran out of fuel again. Apparently I’ve built a guzzler lol. So gonna hopefully take a gallon and drive her to the gas station.

If you have the learn turned on in the idle areas where you are letting it run to warm up, then running it out of fuel will make a genuine mess of your fuel table because the Holley will be actively changing the fuel table section of the tune due to lack of fuel. Then when you get fuel back in it, it will run stupid rich until it relearns. It's a recipe for a tuning nightmare.

Great to know! How do I turn that off? Can it be turned off?

Yes, it can turned off. It’s hard to talk you through it without a video call.

Send me a copy your tune and I can do it for you. Will take 10 minutes.
