1991 Jetta 1.8liter, Will this TURBO setup work (first turbo project)
 

I got a 1991 jetta 1.8 liter and bought this homemade turbo kit off a VWVortex member.
The kit has the following:
-Mazda turbo mounted to a stock modified manifold
-Intercooler
-26lb G60 injectors
-Most of the piping
-cheap BOV and still searching for a 38mm wastegate for the turbo.

Putting this kit on the car is not the problem, it's tuning and setting everything.
Is this enough fuel for the extra boost? (only planning to run 5-7psi)
Should I look into a FMU?
Will this even work?
Any help will help. Thanks

WHHHHAAAATTTTT??????!?!?!?!

Re: 1991 Jetta 1.8liter, Will this TURBO setup work (first turbo project)
 

Lots of funny guys but isn't this the HMT site!
I see guys turboing other cars and the don't get bashed like this WTF!

get a fuel rail to go with those G60 injectors... the stock rail is your next hold up when you use proper injectors liek g60's

also you will still need more fuel, unfortinatly you cant ship your ECU... does your car have Digifant or DIS fuel injection?

Re: 1991 Jetta 1.8liter, Will this TURBO setup work (first turbo project)
 

You mean CIS injection ;) If he's using g60 injectors, I'm pretty much going to assume it's a digifant injection setup (seeing that g60's were a digifant1 injection, a version of motronic). CIS injection uses a throttle plate to adjust to the amount of airflow going into the motor, and in turn adjusts the amount of fuel and fuel pressure running through the SEPERATE injection lines to the motor. There technicly are no "injectors" on a CIS setup, at least not how everybody else thinks injectors...these are mainly just nozzles. IMHO CIS injection is the easiest to turbo charge...upgrade the fuel pump(s), larger injector nozzles or increased fuel pressure, turbo, and voila'!. If turbocharged TVR's and porsches can use CIS, why not? ;D

I have heard of guys running stock internal with 5psi of boost.
Is this recommended and does it work?
Thank for those who are helping!!!

You don't know a ------- thing about this site ------

Re: 1991 Jetta 1.8liter, Will this TURBO setup work (first turbo project)
 

How many miles? If it's solid, no abnormal noises I would say give it a shot. Is it a canadain car? I don't think 91's came stock with a 1.8... What engine code is it?

Re: 1991 Jetta 1.8liter, Will this TURBO setup work (first turbo project)
 

i heard that there is a SAFC for the europian cars. it may be help you + big injectors

Re: 1991 Jetta 1.8liter, Will this TURBO setup work (first turbo project)
 

SAFC's are universal dumb nuts. stop giving advice when you dont know ::)

note he can not chip his ecu.

Re: 1991 Jetta 1.8liter, Will this TURBO setup work (first turbo project)
 

Your best off going for a megasquirt if you want to actually do it properly. Its fully mappable injection and ignition if you want it.

If your feeling ghetto, stay with stock injection and use a boost switch to control a fifth injector.

Megasquirt has so many benefits its hard to know where to start, but it costs money. Plus the expense of tuning.

Re: 1991 Jetta 1.8liter, Will this TURBO setup work (first turbo project)
 

Camels don't have ecu systems :1

Re: 1991 Jetta 1.8liter, Will this TURBO setup work (first turbo project)
 

the stupid irish ox,cow fucker again :P
ask mom how she was control in the ox injector :-* . then tell us ;D ;D

Re: 1991 Jetta 1.8liter, Will this TURBO setup work (first turbo project)
 

Megasquirt ftw> :6

Re: 1991 Jetta 1.8liter, Will this TURBO setup work (first turbo project)
 

Later VW ecu's can be chipped. If worst comes to worst, do an injection swap to a newer and chippable/tunable fuel injection system. Besides, most VW's are like hondas...with most parts interchangable with other motors/vehicles.

get it now. thanks for good info

Re: 1991 Jetta 1.8liter, Will this TURBO setup work (first turbo project)
 

ever thought about just staying within the realm of VW? go diesile or w/e and hope that sh!t dont go pop haha

Re: 1991 Jetta 1.8liter, Will this TURBO setup work (first turbo project)
 

::) Never thought I'd say this, but uh, yeah...you're worthless :3

Re: 1991 Jetta 1.8liter, Will this TURBO setup work (first turbo project)
 

well this is coming from a fellow vwvortexer... Being your car is a 91 it is a Digifant 2. It does not use a Mass Air Flow sensor but uses the old school vane meter/"flapper" style sensor. These fuel systems are not the easiest to tune at all. BBM makes a supercharger kit for the 1.8 Digi 2 and you may be able to buy software from them to run 30lb injectors. But that will be slightly expensive, at least $250 for the software and another $50-100 for used injectors.

I would look at running Megasquirt..

good luck

oh, by the way, NSMB v. tv. it's really not racist, i just lol'd at it and posted it

Re: 1991 Jetta 1.8liter, Will this TURBO setup work (first turbo project)
 

its a 91 jetta don't waste your money on megasquirt fuelpump,fmu,injectors and a widewand and its done. You might just want to do a vr6 swap :y

Re: 1991 Jetta 1.8liter, Will this TURBO setup work (first turbo project)
 

why do you need a wideband with a fmu ???

Re: 1991 Jetta 1.8liter, Will this TURBO setup work (first turbo project)
 

so you can see how rich you're running 8)

Re: 1991 Jetta 1.8liter, Will this TURBO setup work (first turbo project)
 

easiest way is to switch from digi2(flapper MAF style) to digi1(MAP based) from a corrado g60. chip the digi1 ecu to whatever specs you need it. the rest is mechanical.
since g60's are supercharged the ECU/wiring is obviously for FI making your life much simpler.



and to who ever said the ECU he has isnt chippable you are wrong. ask any MK2 guy with a near stock setup and they will tell you they have thier ECU chipped to get rid of the digi2 lag issue

ANd wheres your PORN ??? Pics of your car???? Your abiolity to follow the noob ruiles??? Up your ass you say???

At 3 posts I honestly don't think we'll see him around too much...unless he's reading all he can, but these days it's pretty doubtful. More than likely a passer through. :P
