sorry guyss i'm a newb with custom turbos.i live in central ohio, so lemme know if your around me!after winter i'm swapping an ls in my 93 dx hatch, and plan to turbo it after that.my goal for the car is to be street legal/driven, but my main focus point is drag racing.how many psi can i safely push on my ls with stock internals and whatnot?what kind of hp/trq numbers can i expect with maximum (safe)boost?

i'm trying to compile a complete list of parts i will need to complete the task.as i said before, i know very little, so i will post what i know to purchase/upgrade,and you can just add to it....thanks everyone in advance

btw...i'm leaning towards a t3/t4 turbo but suggestions are great,and of course, i'm not trying to spend a fortune...

turbo
wastegate
intake manifold
turbo manifold
intercooler
blowoff valve
fuel pump
boost controller
injectors

ok thats it, lol yeah i suck.oh and when making my downpipe and whatnot what kind of piping should i use?

you can do maybe 9-12 psi dail safely with good tuning....dont half ass that part or you will die......i mean your motor at least and thats where all you power # will depend on your tuning and fuel managment..and not to mention dependability(spelling)

lots of stickers (yellow is best, they make you go faster) muffler with at least a 4" tip
punched out cat
phantom slip LSD
oil lines
lots of guages, at least 3 for a pillar pod
computer or some form of fuel management, i think an FMU and a bunch of check valves is the best way to go.

if you do all of this with that turbo, turn it up to 35 psi, you should see somewhere in the neighborhood of 700 whp on pump gas. you can drive it hard all the time too!







im just kidding, I have no idea...i just wanted to be the first to post some stupid crap and tell you to:

SEARCH FIRST, ASK SECOND

terrible first post, search around a little and you'll find the answer to 99% of your questions

Re:New!first post!
 

sorry it just seems like everything is here and there, and there isn't really a listing of all the needed parts....

oh and i'm not new to this whatever scene you want to call it, i've had 2 hondas and i also own an 04 cavalier that is more show than go (flame if you want).i have knowledge in alot of areas, just turbos arent one ;)

ok close your eyes, take my hand and we'll go to turbo land. where you'll get your turbo installed for free and your car washed and waxed, along with a free handjob by Nicole Kidman, when you're blow off valve burst when you shift from 2nd to 3rd, you can burst too, and Nicole will smile and tune your fuel management with her right hand, while she strokes you with your left.lol
