almost got boost what do you think
 

First I want to say if it wasnt for this site boost would have only been a thought but soon it will be a reality because of this bad ass site.But enough of that. I would like some constructive criticism about this low boost set up that I have and that Im about to put on the car.I say low boost because my 95 integra has 180,000 miles.But the motor is in good shape.No smoke no knocks no nothing so far. garrett t25 off 88 grand prix set at 5.5 but I want 7lbs hks turbo manifold 8:1 ratio fmu str fuel rail and regulator johny race car fmic 2"mandrel bent pipes to intercooler 21/4" pipes from intercooler to throttle body stealth mode oil line kit auto meter boost gage and stoich gage aem cam gears - unorthodox under drive pulleys I know some are going to say ---- the fmu but its low boost setup and would I need a msd btm

will some body let me know something please

Re:almost got boost what do you think
 

your gonna need a BOV and i would say to get at least 2.5 piping. even us d guys wouldnt put 2 inch piping on our motor, so i would certainly not expect a b to have it.

I have a bov from a mx6 but I forgot to post it.

Re:almost got boost what do you think
 

It will probably surprise you.. i hate 152k on my D and it pulls strong with 8 psi

Re:almost got boost what do you think
 

thats whats up. Hopefully I can do that on my B.

Re:almost got boost what do you think
 

DAMN! Whats up with yall. Im hiped up about this ----.All I want is some feed back and yall acting like yall scared to post something. Come on people this is HMT dammit.Let me know something.

Re:almost got boost what do you think
 

setup sounds good. i dont know if id be using an fmu though. some people like em. some dont. but there a re defiently better forms of managment out there. and i would get bigger intercooler piping too. i have 2.5 on my d16. other than that. looks good

Re:almost got boost what do you think
 

yo buddy, you might really want consider dumping that FMU and getting a Uberdata basemap... but its your setup and its your call.

Post up some pics.

I wouldnt worry too much about the 2.25" intercooler piping. If you've already got them and mocked them up just use them.

Re:almost got boost what do you think
 

sounds good but im runing 12 psi on a ls motor with 170k on it you will be fine at the boost you want to run but bigger ic tubing is good im running 2.5 on my car good luck

Re:almost got boost what do you think
 

fmu's aint that bad =x for newer people to boost an fmu is better then nothing at all... im using a 12:1 fmu from vortec at 10 psi running 9.0 to 9.5 on an 1/8th mile track with no traction and its funn.... finish ur setup and lemme see some pics man

Re:almost got boost what do you think
 

dude dont listen to these guys, 2-2.25in intercooler piping is perfect for 1.5L-2.3L engines, bigger is not always better. you did good with that choice, however, i dont like FMU's. and as for the BTM, it couldnt hurt, just dont retard too much

Re:almost got boost what do you think
 

Setup looks good..fuel management could be better...2-2.25 is good for intercooler piping...I got 1.5" coming from the turbo and after the intercooler 2"-->2.5"
The compressor outlet inside diameter is only 1.5" the OD is 2"...so I wouldn't worry about it if it's the same size or a bit bigger it's ok.

Re:almost got boost what do you think
 

hey man you are running 12 psi onm stock ls? damn daily driven, is it good, does ur exhaust smoke hella ? im at 9psi,at about 150k mi on engine and a lil of smoke on hard shifting and i want to bring it up, but unsure.

I want to boost more b/c im about even with them EVO 8. I just wanna beat da ---- outaa it. I not street tuned yet, just really nice tune on uberdata.

Re:almost got boost what do you think
 

WTF did you just say?

Re:almost got boost what do you think
 

I dont like to go any leaner than 12.1 and even then thats should be the leanest spot..

Re:almost got boost what do you think
 

thanks alot for those comments.I knew alot of yall wouldnt like the fmu and I personally would rather have uberdata but it sounds like some complicated ---- atleast for me cause I aint no computer genius.If it was that I could get uberdata and whatever other ---- that has to be done to the computer all together I would be more than glad to pay for it.Then I could raise the boost some more.But all that ---- about chipping and burning this and down loading that is out of my reach.
