homemade turbo setup with questions and dyno results
 

Ok first lets start with car. 93 civic sedan ex d16z6. Now for setup. 14b , ssautochrome manifold braced (yes i know) got a precison intercooler the big one lol got for cheap. 3inch charge pipe (yes big) 310 injectors. chrome chipped ecu. wideband street tuned. bkr7311 plugs. blitz bov. everything i can think of now. At a dyno jet ran 182.5whp and 179lbs of torque. Does that sound good. And what should i change on the setup or add. Its a daily driver. was lookin for 200whp but i dont wanna blow up ----. I need a new clutch already. what do you recommend. Honestly what im lookin for is advise on what i should change or add. And what clutch ect i should use. I know you guys have more experience on this ---- then i do. Car runs great. Not lean or rich. Perfect. So anything u can say is good 2 me. Thanks

oh and im at 9psi on boost gauge

Re: homemade turbo setup with questions and dyno results
 

sounds pretty good for no boost, try adding some psi

Re: homemade turbo setup with questions and dyno results
 

the numbers sound about right for the setup. ever run it at the track yet?

Re: homemade turbo setup with questions and dyno results
 

no i just installed it like a week ago. and dyno today. but i can feel my clutch slipping towards the top end so imma install a sprung 6puck in maybe. So the setup sounds good? And what do i need 2 do to bump the psi up some to get 200whp. i am planning on doing a headgasket ( what do you recommend ) and arp headstuds

Re: homemade turbo setup with questions and dyno results
 

I'll say the same thing that I always say when I see someone putting a puck clutch onto a stock flywheel. You WILL be replacing that flywheel when you replacing the clutch the next time if you put a ceramic/cerametallic disc on it. It will destroy that flywheel...don't get me wrong, it'll work great, but it will acually wear down your flywheel instead of the friction on the disc...if you have the money, get a stainless F/W...someone on this site had them for sale for really cheap, but I can't remember who it was...?

Ah, here it is...

i got a fidenza lighten flywheel ???

Re: homemade turbo setup with questions and dyno results
 

Get a stainless steel one...I don't think fidanzas are worth a ----. I turn flywheels all day every day, and it seems like every time I see one of those, the steel part looks ok, but the aluminum part always cracks. The steel expands more than the aluminum and it cracks it when it gets hot...besides, another one of the steel replacement inserts from them almost costs as much a the flywheel itself...

Re: homemade turbo setup with questions and dyno results
 

k what should i do 2 get 200whp

Re: homemade turbo setup with questions and dyno results
 

i understand turn the boost up. how far and how safe will it b. how can i make it safe streetable

Re: homemade turbo setup with questions and dyno results
 

headgasket, OEM ;)

ARP Head studs for sure.

And follow burkej's last line too lol

Re: homemade turbo setup with questions and dyno results
 

Like Zeniceguycrx said, you are going to have to boost a little more, just tune it carefully...tuning is the key to life....but it sounds like you already know that...watch your duty cycle on those injectors, it would seem to me like they would be getting pretty close to 90%, you should get yourself some DSM 450's..then you'll have plenty of room for more power...besides, you can usually get them for really cheap

Re: homemade turbo setup with questions and dyno results
 

And yes a Ceramic pucked disc will eat up your flywheel. Not a problem if you don't mind replacing it!

I got a little over 100 drag runs last year on my flywheel, and when I pulled it out it had a good 1/16th groove cut into it. But then again, I had 100 full on clutch dumps on it!

Re: homemade turbo setup with questions and dyno results
 

alright thanks guys

Re: homemade turbo setup with questions and dyno results
 

i dont know if i wouild go any higher than 9psi on a stock z6 bottom end. ringlands will be gone no matter how good the tune is

Re: homemade turbo setup with questions and dyno results
 

What kind of map sensor do you have? Cant go to much more boost on the stock map.

Re: homemade turbo setup with questions and dyno results
 

Use a stock flywheel, they are cheap and work great. Yes they wear down but a stocker is what.. $10?? lsdmotorsports for the clutch and arp's + napa headgasket. I wouldnt get to hung up on not making 200, its just a number and you do have a stock bottom end.

Re: homemade turbo setup with questions and dyno results
 

Stock MAP sensor is good to one BAR witch is about 12.5 psi...with proper fuel managment of course..

Re: homemade turbo setup with questions and dyno results
 

i dont think the stock bottom end is though. 9psi is as high as i would go.

Re: homemade turbo setup with questions and dyno results
 

182/179 is nice safe power for 9psi on that turbo.

I made 163/158 with the 15G at 8psi falling to 7 at the top, and stock cat and stock injectors .. ran that for over 1 year. No problems after the ARPs went in.

so, on the stock block with that turbo, you can run 12psi safe with timing retarded appropriately, which would yield a bit over 200WHP. Run that, and be happy :)
