Your first turbo project......
We all know we see numorous turbo prjects being shown on here. But there is really never any followup on how well they run/pull. post some specs of your first setup and how it turned out. Links to turbo projects would be sweet to. Thanks

had to search for a minute but.. https://www.homemadeturbo.com/forum/...?topic=58619.0
beside the wierd cold idle bounce, my ---- ran great for 3-4 months, then i took it all out on the hottest day of the year cause i was bored, sold the car, traded the turbo kit (with install help) for this mess Attachment 31039 which i got bored of and am about to HMT while i continue the search for my next car |
Re: Your first turbo project......
Finished my project around late july this summer, had its kinks in the beginning but after I got the tune down I put the ecu away and havent had to mess with anything on the car yet. I beat the living hell out of it every day, until I put it away for winter a coupple weeks ago. Before I put it away I did a few big pulls through 5th gear thinking it would let loose, but it all held together.

serious hmt love, im still ghost riding the whip :P tracking it and raping it daily is starting to show wear and tear though lol |
Re: Your first turbo project......
i lost all of my pics of my first setup to the big HMT crash of 06....heres the setup though:
b18 stock daily driver cast manifold turbonetics evolution wastegate 9psi spring shimmed greddy type s knockoff 2.5" I/C Piping t3/t4 70 trim stage 2 .63 .60 bar & plate front mount resistor box and 450s chipped pr4 running crome full boost by 4500 tuned by fook at around 7psi, was shootin for 10 or more, but had some bad boost leaks, have fixed all but the i/c leaking and been running it pretty good for 2 or 3 months. runs solid and pulls pretty ------- hard for 7psi. Hopefully I can convince fook to finish up the tune! im guessing about 225whp butt dyno wise so far, looking to push it close to 300 in the spring. |

Re: Your first turbo project......
My very first setup was the following
92 DX hatch w/y7 IHI RHB5 y7 manifold with IHI flange 2.5 dp/straight pipe exhaust HD couplers ghetto ass Monza BOV grdddy bluebox/NGK 1 step colder plugs and she rans like a top Ran with this setup for a couple months pushing 1 bar everyday. Then I spun a rod bearing but still drove it for a month afterwards just never above 3k. lol Damn I loved that setup. Cheap, clean looking, drove perfectly. :'( Next is the 280Z...parts are waiting to go on..just need to clean out my garage to start the install. |

Re: Your first turbo project......
Mine was my '90 LX sedan.
OBD1, uberdata and then cromepro D16z6 t3/t04b s-trim turbo, .48ar stg1 exhaust garrett internal wastegate, ported 3/8" (the 3-bolt hole, not flapper hole) 60mm TB 780cc Seimens Deka injectors HF mani w/home-made adapter to keep AC in car JRC 6" fmic self-made 2.5" charge piping self-made 3" DP self-made 3" exhaust self-made oil and vacuum manifolds Basicly everything done by myself, welded by myself. 1psi at 3k, 10psi at 4k, pulled on Subies and v8 camaros from a roll - with the LX tranny. :4 Ran great till I parked it 2 months ago, as its front end is smashed. Some -----bag decided to pull out in front of me from a side street, I switched lanes and braked, but she decided to merge directly into that far lane. Basicly broke 2 laws, but the cop thought I was speeding. As luck would have it, I saw that bitch driving not too long ago, so I followed her for 30mins, waited, pissed on her car (tried to ----, couldn't :( ), and dented a few panels before someone noticed. >:D Revenge is sweet. |
