Turbo feels like Shit!!!!
A friend of mine drop in an turbo in his civic DX. His motor is an D16z6 turbo w/ 1st gen talon turbo using HF manifold with a small FM I/C... I've driven the car and it feels like its slower then my mini-me vtec... I've driven another friend of mine car (Delsol S w/ the same setup) and it feels why more power and its alot faster then my mini me and I can blow away integra. What do he need to make his car run like a SOHC VTEC turbo car champ with limited amount of $$$$$???? (All he got is a drop in custom kit with nothing else)....

Re: Turbo feels like Shit!!!!
???yo have to be more specific! dsm turbo with a hf mani is not saying much.
|
Re: Turbo feels like Shit!!!!
probably a clutch and a good driver, if the kit is all working properly it should be way faster the a sohc VTAK.

Re: Turbo feels like Shit!!!!
^ what he said that sound missed up slow with a turbo on :-\

Re: Turbo feels like Shit!!!!
Add a little fuel with that boost, does wonders.

Re: Turbo feels like Shit!!!!
incorrect setup?
|
Re: Turbo feels like Shit!!!!
dude i got the same setup, t25 with hf manni and first gen BOV and vortech 12:1 fmu and i'm eatin stock GSRs like nothing........ and my buddie with a turbo GSR , he can only beat me by about 1-2 car lengths..... and i only have a d15b7 with my turbo setup

Re: Turbo feels like Shit!!!!
The setup is, Hf manifold with adapter plate to a 1st gen dsm turbo, custom pipes w/ frt mt intercooler. No fuel injectors, fuel regulator, fuel pump, boost gauge, and no FMU. What should we start with to make it run better (on a budget)....

On a more serious note, one reason could be in the tuning. Maybe his car is running very rich. Even though you or your friend have the same setup, his might need more tweaking. Take the car for a ride and before you shut it off, do a hard run then pull the plugs and inspect them. Their condition can help tell the state of the air/fuel mixture. |

So have no fuel management at all and your wondering what's wrong? |
Re: Turbo feels like Shit!!!!
I have no problem with mine, but his has problems.... I have the same setup as him but for some reason mine runs better then his and it pulls way harder then his. The funny part is that I don't even have an FMU, Fuel Regulator, fuel pump, and no upgrade injectors. Just straight drop in and retarded my timing about 2-4 degrees. I did the same to his and it still runs weak.

Re: Turbo feels like Shit!!!!
::) are you running check valves atleast??
|
Re: Turbo feels like Shit!!!!

so you dont have any kind of tuning other then retarding the timing?? umn sounds like a nice way to blow your motor to me. |
Re: Turbo feels like Shit!!!!
Get some fuel upgrades, your kit sucks :1

you need some injectors, at least 390s. fuel pump. maybe a walbro 190 or 255. ecu chipped or even an fmu, or afc hack whould be better than nothing. get a better clutch than oem. these are the most vital items on your turbo kit. getting it tuned properly is the key. if you dont, please send me pics of your blown engine so we can show people how not to do a turbo kit. |
