building turbo dpfi in 90 hatchback...
 

I am in the process in putting together a turbo kit for my d15b1 dpfi same as d15b2 just the standard version..anyways I have the hf manifold, I can make my own adapter plate, my own oil lines, for fuel I am gonna run 12:1 fmu with the ecu chipped for 8psi its only a chip not uberdata or chrome or anything like that...its not tunable for now...and I have a side mount intercooler and a bov...my turbo is off of a mitsu starion...its set at 7 psi where I will leave it until I get back from louisiana then I will fully build my block in the shop and run more psi with fuel management...so what do you guys think? have people turbo'd there d15 dpfi? well I am....

anyone else??? im going to try a d15b2, saab t3 turbo, saab bov, saab smic, 12;1 fmu, and a check valve at like maybe 7 psi. I have a lm-1 so im going to try to tune it as best as i can. How long does eveyone think it would actually last.

wideband on an fmu setup.. what are you gonna tune? lmao.. nothing to tune there buddy.

Re: building turbo dpfi in 90 hatchback...
 

oh yea ,I meant to say use it to see if it runs lean at all. So how long could it last?

Re: building turbo dpfi in 90 hatchback...
 

I figured people would laugh about it...good to hear someone has done it succesfully! I am also only gonna run a fmu for now...is that other guy still boosting with his dpfi?? well I hope everything goes as planned...I am also using a fresh rebuilt block...new rings and bearing and such...I will post pics up after I finish it...

Re: building turbo dpfi in 90 hatchback...
 

nope, it blewup.

Re: building turbo dpfi in 90 hatchback...
 

Not cause of the turbo or a/f mixture... Cuz of a fucked oilpump...

But... If had some proper stuff mounted (such as a turbo, without leaking seals) i'd probably still be boostin'.

Gonna go mpfi now...

Re: building turbo dpfi in 90 hatchback...
 

well see if it will last a year. ;D

Re: building turbo dpfi in 90 hatchback...
 

keep it in vaccum, and smash on it when the time is needed is my best advice on keeping your setup alive. then again sohc are a dime a dozen so enjoy ;D

Re: building turbo dpfi in 90 hatchback...
 

yea the d15 i got only has 80.xxx miles on it too

Re: building turbo dpfi in 90 hatchback...
 

how do I keep it in vaccum??? how do I set it up?? is it less power?? hey was your car pretty fast when it was turbocharged? what kinda cars did you race and beat??? thanks

Re: building turbo dpfi in 90 hatchback...
 

keeping in vaccum is not going into the rpms where your seeing boost. (look at your boost gauge).Only when needed. A d15b2 with about 6 psi is probably going to feel like you have a mini- me swap
