ok soi have a question! its problably been answer before but don't feel like searching for the answer so hear it is. So me and my friend just turbo this 1991 honda crx with a d16z6 engine in it. I read on yas websites of wat are things that can be needed so far but the car acts up all the time when i punched above 6000 rpm's. the engine light alwayscomes on so i have to turn the car of and crank it back on for it to be able to work. i don't know wats wrong with it. does anybody know wat could be going wrong? maybe gas flow or some like that.

I know the answer but I don't fell like giving it to you

SEARCH YOU ---- AND DON'T CLUTTER UP THE STICKIES WITH USELESS BULLSHIT OR BDVT WILL HUNT YOU DOWN AND FIST YOUR MOTHERS -------

oh and your car is fine except the vac line running from your wastegate needs to be run directly to your blow off valve and nothing else, then the MAP sensor is throwing a cel so you need to pull the vac line off of it and plug it.

Both common mistakes among first timers.

ok but some other people it had something to do with the map sensor and than they told me to get one from a chevy truck or some like that. they said it had 3n wires and it would make it work

hi mr. coleman

excellent thread even for the age.

this is great

Holy crud...
 

Nice. I've been searching for something like this for awhile...

Is there any way to do a standalone oilpan? I've searched but I don't know if what I'm looking for is the same as an 'oil-catch'. I'm a little deterred by the idea of drilling holes in my oil pan (my 'new' used acura cls :( ). Is there something I can make that would have its own oil supply separate from the engine? Or a thread that'll point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

grrrrrreat!

My 1st turbo(s), will be mounted in Brit TR6 2.5L and aircooled VW-4cyl.

Do turbos have to be positioned HORIZONTAL ?
Why/not VERTICAL; oil suckage into compressor; shaft cooling?
...hot side up with compressor on bottom would prob run 30 degrees cooler boost air

Please recommend sites with pic/video showing placement of components, BOV, WG, exh piping

great great info..good thing its a sticky

wow.. i have been looking for like 2 days for stock wg settings off a wrx.. 7psi.. perfect.. do you know if thats off a 05 with a td04l? or is the year irelivent?

I second that ^^^

this is cool... seems like a good site to learn to build a cheap set up!

yes it does

??
 

I have a question for you
sorry if this will piss you off but i am confused i have a whole set up ready to install just
looking over,and i need to tap into the block?
would it be easiest or best to remove the pressure switch and put a t fitting but then how do i return the oil back to the pan?
thank

Ryan

good post

thanks this helped answer some question.

Excellent Info. I can now turbocharge my suzuki alto safely.

what about my subaru wrx?
I need a wastegate for my new Turbocharger Kit

I'm pretty sure you gotta tap your pan and run a line.

hey does anyone have a D15 turbo set up that is reliable, daily driven, and is low budget that can last for 2 years or more, I am looking forward to do at least 5 or 6 psi please message me your set up i would appreciate it very much!

great info.

good info

thanks for the info it was a big help

Thank you very much,I needed that info to get me jump started...

Thanks! this post helped alot. I got a couble newbish questions tho..could i run 8-10 psi with stock ecu and fuel injectors? if not what kind of injectors would be good? and could i keep the stock fuel pump or would I need to upgrade? im running a b16a vtec.

Hi Guys.
I am a vehicle customizer who is new to the Turbo scene. I did try the search engine looking for V8 turbo's but did not find an answer to my question.
I am Building a 55 Chevy Bel Air. The engine is a 93 LT1 which I have the complete harness and Computer. I am running a 5 speed with 3 : 73 Gears. I would like to build a twin turbo set up.
I have been trying to google questions but cannot really get a straight answer. The engine is stock with about 275 HP. I would like to be between 500-600.
I would like to purchase used turbos but im not sure which vehicles to look at. I saw the models listed on the first page of this thread but am concerned that they came from small 4 cylinder engines and may not be enough boost for my goals.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

You likely want a couple of T3 turbos from 2.3L Fords. They should spool up quickly and make the power you want since getting into the high 200hp range with those turbos is fairly easy; I don't think you'll have a problem hitting 500whp but 600whp might be a stretch.

Control is going to be important, so software like EFI Live or some other GM tuning software will be important. One place I wouldn't skimp is the intercooler. If you're going to pump the output from both turbos into an intercooler, pay the extra and get a quality unit from Specaro or PWR.

You can also look for smaller Holeset turbos, I am not familiar with all the model numbers but I think HX35 is maybe what you want as well.

Looking for a turbo exhaust manifold for an LB4 (4.3) V6 any particular place to look? Junkyards no luck I'm looking at $700 plus at dealer... Is it even worth turbocharging my truck? -.-

a pair of T4 T60s would be a good size for twins. you got a V8, let that thing breathe!i got a 98 TA with an LS1 so i know. I got a T76 with .96 rear mounted going on with mine. the LT1 will be ok with a little smaller single if you want but if you want twins a pair of T60s is a bare minimum and an intercooler is a must. You stick too small of turbos on a V8 and your gonna casue two things.... your gonna limit upper RPM power becasue the turbo will be physically unable to push anymore air and 2 your gonna over heat the intake charge and get heat soak in your intercooler and cause earily detonation and kill your motor in the process. also dont go too small on the wastegate. 38mm are "ok" on rear mounts but front mounts need at a minumum a 46mm wastegate to control all that extra air. we bypass waymore air then a 4cyclinder. A tial 46mm wategate is a great start point.
We got 4 extra cyclinders then alot of these smaller engiens so cooling and fuel control is an absolute must! alot of this forum is orientated towards smaller motors so the turbos recommendations are smaller and internally gated. nothing wrong with that but we pump more air and fuel. Tuning is also a biggy.

heres alittle help to get an idea of what you might what to do for LT1/LS1 engines. I know its kinda like another whats what but its to assist another performance group that has a little more base power to start with ;)

also i dont know why my fuel system schematic is thumbnailed but whatever
