i am upgrading the injectors. I will be using stock wrx injectors, the light blue ones, which flow a good bit more than our stock ones. I am also only going to boost 4psi to start. I have datalogging capabilities on my car so I can monitor everything, and what I can't monitor yet I am adding new sensors and gauges for. kind of makes me wish I had gone with a datalogger rather than the cheap way, but that is the point of this thread. i really never anticipated going turbo with this car and didn't see the need for the extra equipment when I started looking at tuning for myself.

 

you are right, remember you can run any amount of boost you want and any amount of timing also but always monitoring EGT A/F ratios and Knocking. If it is safe to go do it. Also Dan a good thing to do is run the setup in 4 psi daily with a electronic boost controller and with a flip of a switch change to a 9 psi setup using alcohol injection to be more than safe. But you will need a good tuning. There were some PR guys running 15 psi on stock internals and stock ECU just trowing fuel with an additional fuel injector controller and a wideband I think you are capable of doing much more than this just take your time ..!!!!!

 

quick pic since I got the other two boxes tonight. I have to modify the turbo exhaust, build a downpipe extension, buy tons more stuff. I working on Saturday to help pay for some of it. I am going to schedule three days off so I have 5 to do the intall. I will take pictures and do a step by step DIY of the entire install. I have tons more research to do first, so I'm probably looking at the middle to the end of next month.

 

not to keep nagging you but now that you have the turbo what kind is it? curious b/c i wanted to know if its a quick spooling turbo and what your results are what kind of HP it maxes at and all of that good stuff.

 

thats awesome Dan, looking forward to reading the write up!

 

Well, it's got the "T" emblem on the side of it. It's a T3/T4 hybrid. I am not sure what car it came off of, but I will need to do some modification to the compressor exhaust pipe. the turbo was on another manifold that vented the wastegate to the exhaust, but it doesn't line up with the mani and wastegate I have. I want to vent to the exhaust rather than the atmosphere, but I am concerned with backpressure issues. I have to make sure the wastegate exhaust pipe is large enough so I don't destroy the turbo, or my car for that matter. scary stuff man

 

port and polishe the turbo... no lag at all

 

The turbo is a hybrid and also he shouldn't have that much problems with lag since the intercooler is not that big and the engine has mid compression soo turbo lag will not be a problem ...

 

what car did it come off migue? or what car does it belong on, since that might be different then what car it came off of?

 

The parts were from migue's ralliart. I was gunna try and buy the kit but you beat me to it hehe.

 

I know they came off his RA, that's why I changed the question. I was wondering what car the turbo was on originally, in other words where did he get it.

I waited until his cutoff date to give my final offer so he had a chance for a buyer to step up to his price, you should have paid the man

 

cash probs happened. you know how it goes.

 

why yes I do. I actually kind of created one buying the turbo kit. I have to work tomorrow, and I worked the last two Saturdays as well It's all good.

 

I've been doing the same taking any hours I can all for turbo (it's worth it) I'm getting tired of my car it needs more ummph

What are you planning on doing for engine managment?

 

wow, it seems like everyone is going turbo now. might have to start saving up more money...
