Volvo turbo on b18a
#21
i have ob2a. im using an ebay obd2a-obd1 conversion harness and works fine. im running an auto po6 ecu that i converted to run in a manual car.
there is no way to run lower boost that i know of. if you wanna run boost, run the mods that you need to support it or risk blowing your ---- up.

Honestly, if i ever upgrade the turbo in my teg, im gonna get a CDM t3/to4e 57 trim like i had on my old DA with a b18a. Spooled around 2700 and full boost at 3500. Pulled real nice. BTW the parts on my DA were all ebay/CDM parts but still was smart enough to run engine management and the supporting fuel mods.

CDM= chinese domestic market lol
the 14b will get you to 200 but you will have to push maybe near 10 to 12 to reach that power level. i suggest the CDM t3/to4e .60/.63 57 trim. experiences with the turbo good. had good spooling characteristics and can put down more power at lower psi and has a lot more room to grow. some people are sketchy about the CDM parts especially the turbo but if thats the case, save up for a name brand one.
with the CDM t3/to4e, i FELT around 5-7 psi i was near that power level. i was pushing 12 psi and a one time 15 spike on a stock block. if i were to guess, i was probably near 250 at least. but then again, butt dynos dont count.

I hear to much bad stuff about those turbos. IDK. but I'm think about just getting the dam 14b. if this guy messages me back first.
since the 14b has a different flange then the t3, and I have a welder. I'm thinking I can make a custom top mount using the manifold I have now. like make a "J" or "c" pipe with a t3 on one side and the 14b on the other. using a really thick pipe.
Have you ever seen turbos mounted side ways. like the hot side pointing almost directly down? I'm thinking it might not be good for the oil, but I have no experience with it. also haven't seen anyone do it.

I'm about to buy these eBay Motors: 450cc Blue top 1G DSM injetors Talon Eclipse GSX turbo (item 270373479713 end time Apr-19-09 185:50 PDT)
and new o ring set too.
so what did you use for engine management in the DA?

well on the turbo I have now, does it make a difference if the oil return is pointing upwards? man, my volvo turbo fits really bad. LOL. I'm just wating on this guy to reply. I'll do some searching on turboedit. I really don't want to go all out on it and go OBD1, this is a budget build. LOL
