Important notes on your GenV RacePort EM

• Turbosmart accepts no responsibility whatsoever for incorrect installation of this product which is potentially hazardous and can cause serious engine damage or personal injury.
  

• The GenV RacePort EM is designed for use with a turbocharger that do not have inbuilt BOV’s or when a larger flow rate is required as well as electronic control.
  

• Use only high-quality fittings ensuring maximum sealing reliability. 
  

Recommendations

• Allow for adequate cool airflow around the top diaphragm housing.
  

• DO NOT Mount the Raceport so that the top diaphragm housing is less than 100mm from a heat source.
  

• Fitting your GenV RacePort EM may require fabrication or modification to your turbocharger piping. Turbosmart recommends that your Raceport is fitted by an appropriately qualified technician.
  

• Turbosmart recommends that a boost gauge be permanently fitted to the vehicle.

GenV RacePort EM Overview

Fitting your Gen V RacePort EM

Mounting your new Turbosmart GenV Raceport EM

The GenV series of RacePort is a direct fit replacement for the RacePort and no modification is necessary provided packaging space is sufficient.

The weld flanges should be welded to your charge pipe in a suitable location. The weld flanges are compatible with aluminium welding rod material. Purge bungs should be used to maintain the straightness of the flange during the welding process. TS-0204-3003

CAUTION!

Fitting the GenV Raceport EM

Prior to mounting the GenV RacePort EM, place v-band over weld on flange by unscrewing the bolt on the v-band as far out as possible and then squeezing the bolt in a syringe motion to expand the v-band (squeeze the dots together below). Once the v-band is in its fully expanded position, slide the v-band over the flange to allow for the Raceport to be installed.

Do not forget to put the O-Ring seal into the flange before mounting the unit on the charge pipe. Using the 4mm hex bit socket and a torque wrench, Tighten the V-Band to 4N.m (3 ft/lbs). Ensure the RacePort is home correctly while torquing the bolt to not have a false torque as this will likely contribute to leaks.

Fitting actuator port fittings

Fit top chamber port fitting prior to mounting the Raceport, install . Apply thread lubricant and screw in clockwise until finger tight, then tighten further 1-2 turns for seal.

Select a suitable boost pressure source, use the shortest possible hose length to the Raceport EM.

CAUTION!

Do not share boost pressure source with critical instruments.

Wiring

Further information is listed here, simply the connection needs to be made for the 12V Red wire be attached to one end of the solenoid (polarity not important) and the other wire needs to be connected to the yellow trigger wire. 

Start your engine and check for leaks

Congratulations, your Gen V EM Raceport is installed and ready for use. Double check all fittings, lines and mountings then proceed to start engine and check for leaks.

How to change your GenV RacePort Spring

The Gen V EM Raceport has a variety of springs to suit different Vacuum levels and applications. Turbosmart provides the Gen V Raceport pre-installed with 18InHg spring (15InHg Raceport EM).  Different spring combinations may be required to suit different application requirements and tuning.

Remove RacePort BOV from Charge Pipe

Remove boost pressure source hose from the BOV. Unscrew V-band bolt in an anti-clockwise direction to the very end of the thread, squeeze the bolt against the V-band in a syringe like motion to expand the V-band over the flange. Remove GenV RacePort being careful not to drop or lose the sealing O-Ring.

CAUTION!

Allow engine to cool down before removing your Gen V EM Raceport

Remove Top Cap

Familiarise yourself with Cap and Body notches

CAUTION!

Press Cap onto Body

How to Change your GenV RacePort Diaphragm

Remove RacePort BOV from Charge Pipe

Remove boost pressure source hose from the BOV. Unscrew V-band bolt in an anti-clockwise direction to the very end of the thread, squeeze the bolt against the V-band in a syringe like motion to expand the V-band over the flange. Remove Gen V Raceport being careful not to drop or lose the sealing O-Ring.

CAUTION!

Allow engine to cool down before removing your Gen V Raceport

Remove Top Cap

Prior to removing the Gen V Raceport cap, remove all fittings from the 1/8”NPT ports. Press down with light to medium load on the cap in a press or vice. Unscrew locking collar with a collar tool (TS-05005-3008) in an anti-clockwise direction until completely disengaged and gently remove tension from the press or vice allowing the spring to expand, finally remove cap when the spring has stopped expanding.

CAUTION!

Use soft jaws to prevent cosmetic damage. 

Change Piston Assembly

Lift the piston assembly out of the body of the Raceport, use a O-Ring pick to lift the bead of the diaphragm out of the groove if necessary. Clean all components removing all dirt and dust from the assembly.

Inspect for Damage before inserting new piston assembly into Raceport Body. Ensure Diaphragm bead is seated correctly in the groove on the body.

Change Piston Guide

The Raceport Piston replacement kit includes a new guide that is to be fitted to the cap, this guide is mandatory on early models of the GenV RacePort that use a smaller diameter stem on the piston.

This guide is held into the cap with Loctite and will require some effort to remove, Hold the cap in a way that does not distort or damage the cap in any way, use a friction wrench to undo the guide from the cap in and anticlockwise direction (standard Right-Hand thread). Clean any debris from the cap and replace with the new guide applying a small amount of red 271 thread locker to the threads.

CAUTION!

Do NOT allow any thread locker to dry on the inside of the guide, this will result in the piston seizing.

Familiarise yourself with Cap and Body Notches

Locate cap and body notches and grooves which dictate the alignment of the cap. These notches are used to locate the cap onto the body and must be aligned prior to compression of the cap onto the body.

CAUTION!

Ensure notches are aligned and seated home correctly prior to exerting force to tighten collar, permanent damage will occur if these are not aligned correctly.

Press cap onto Body

1. Check the vacuum hose for splits, cracks, loose connection, kinking or any obstruction - old or fatigued hose may collapse under vacuum causing an obstruction.
   
2. With the engine running remove the pressure hose from the nipple in the cap of the Race Port, there should be a loud hissing sound. The engine should idle poorly, double check by covering the end of the hose with your finger. IF it does not occur, the hose could be blocked or crimped. Check the hose and replace if necessary.
   
3. Ensure that the pressure source is not shared and that the pressure source is directly from the boost pressure only
   
4. Check seal between the adapter and the race port - ensure that there is no gap between the race port base and the weld flange.
   
5. Check the join between the adapter and the inter cooler pipe for leaking
   
6. Ensure that the right spring is installed in the race port for your engines vacuum level.
