So ive been saving up for a while and I just about have the cash to put a turbo on my car. I plan on purchasing some parts within the next few weeks. I been searching ebay and reading the noobs turbo posts on here and I just want to make sure I have everything I need , becuase im trying to monitor the cost of the turbo build . Heres what ive been looking at:

 

parts I found on ebay.

 

I know I need like clamps, hoses, custom intake , tatrix cable to tune etc lilttle stuff but I wanna make sure I have the basics

 

Bump

 

in the long run i would run a different exhaust manifold as stainless intends to crack over a period of time stress and heat. depending what your goals are you wont need a custom intake. if you want to save more money id go with stock evo intercooler and piping also see if you can get a evo turbo with standard dump pipe.

what engine this going on?

 

Okaay ill check for a different header aswell as a stock intercooler plus piping .
This is going on my 4g94 motor I am also buying a new 94 engine cuase my engine is ticking plus it has 136k on it . So I found one for 25 at a junkyard but they don't know the mileage so Im kinda not sure if I should rebiuld cuase then id have no turbo money

 

You want to get bigger injectors than that. I would at least go with 440cc or bigger. Either evo injectors or 02-04 blue top fed wrx 440 injectors.

Oil feed and return

Evo 8 MAF sensor or omni 4 bar map sensor if you want to go speed density. Not as much support for speed density though.

Downpipe

1.3 U Tactrix cable and evo scan

Boost gauge

Wideband for data logging

I would also look at getting a different BOV, you will have a lot less problems if you went with a recirculating BOV than going with a VTA. Unless you go speed density of course.

 

Alright so bigger injectors, I already saved oil feed lines boost guagues amd tatrix cable etc . I do have a downpipe already in my cart aswell .

Ill look for an evo 8 maf and wideband

What is speed density

 

I'm currently running speed density on my setup. Instead of tuning the car based off the values from the MAF it uses the values from the coolant temperature and the MAP sensor. You could also get an idle air temperature sensor and get more precise numbers to tune from.

Most people go with speed density so they can run an atmospheric blow off valve. If you're running off of a MAF and and have a VTA BOV. When it dumps the air out of the system, the car will go really rich because it is losing air that it already told the ECU that it needed fuel for. With speed density, the ECU only knows what air is going into the intake manifold. You could actually blow apart you intercooler piping and still drive normal under speed density, minus being able to boost. I also noticed smoother throttle response when I switched to speed density.

But speed density is more difficult to tune and tweak everything in to run properly, especially on cold starts til it's warmed up. If you're running an auto, you will also be limited since you can't run an evo rom and you will be limited as far as the support for the VE tables that you need. You're better off going with the Evo 8 MAF and tuning a recirculating blow off valve setup. You would only need to upgrade the MAP sensor if you wanted to go speed density.

 

Okaay thankyou for the insight

 

Also another question is the manifold I have above going to fit if I were to biy that one

 

No it won't, you would have to do some custom work on that to get it to line up. Best bet would be to have a 4g9x flange welded on it in place of the 4g63 flange. Also, not sure what you're planning on doing as far as what size turbo. But the flange is setup for a t3 turbo on that manifold. If you search 4g93 turbo manifold, those will bolt up, but most of the ones I seen are setup for a T25 turbo.

 

here you go straight bolt on i use this manifold. cast iron so no cracking

Okay thanks but how long does it take to ship cause it comes from japan .

 

um im from aussie so im not sure mate. probs give 2 weeks
