Turbo BS Thread

I didn't stop there, I was just saying that daily driving could really utilize 5psi. You're looking at the same track I was on until I found another engine to build. My plan until then was a line of URD products or Map-ECU3:
URD MAF Sensor Calibrator
URD AFR Sensor Calibrator
URD O2 Sensor Calibrator

Map-ECU3
MAP-ECU AFR Sensor Adjust Module

Was on a Cummins 5.9L, output 325hp and 610 lb-ft torque.
Holset doesn't publish but Google measurements are 806 to 888 CFM.
Cummins has published it pushes over 60 lb/min.
Stock it runs 26psi, guys get 40psi out of them.

edit:
TurboSmart made a wastegate actuator for this turbo, I got it. It achieves the 26psi with 5, 10 and 11psi springs. I'm running the 10, option for any combination of those + whatever the EBC can provide.

 

Honestly I did mine with very minimal downtime. It was more of a day here and there to fix something i didn't do right the first time. God I hate the oil return. If you stage it and do it right I don't think you should have downtime.

I have a kinugawa wastegate with a 7.5# spring and it sits mostly at that with an ocasoccasi jump to 10 right before a shift

 

Your engine as is, with that turbo will easily net you 500+ whp. Get after it homie!!!

 

See that's the thing I worry about, the 3rd gen is apparently some awful chimera of a 2nd gen's brain stuck inside of the 3rd gen complexity. At least, that's how I understand it.

I guess I was spoiled by AccessPort on the WRX... on that you basically just plug and play a conservative off the shelf map, log a pull just to make absolutely sure you are not over the boost you want to see and your dynamic advance is 100% unaffected, and boom, that's it.

 

By the cheapest beater car off Craigslist to drive in the downtime.

 

Am I allowed to hang out here? My taco may not be turbo but my new DD is


I love my taco and the blower but I have to admit this car is vastly more fun to drive.

 

No

 

Well this is only the turbo thread so yeah. Nice daily!

 

Rude

One day my taco might be turbo, but probably not until I move out of this state. They don’t like fun cars

 

My truck has a turbo, my tow pig has turbo, my daily has a turbo, if a 2 stroke dirt bike with a pipe is considered to be a turbo then that too.
I have a problem.

 

But that is a good problem to have. I love my little snail car

 

Truth. Move to Houston. Well Fab it up.

 

We're addicted.

 

dang i was just in houston last month. would have loved to check out your truck

 

Tisk tisk

 

Any reason on the first pull my AFR only dropped to 13.28 and on the second pull I was getting 12.06. Im thinking my ECU is still learning. Anything else I should log? Torque only seems to have a 1 second refresh rate regardless of how many sensors it pulls. I'm still a little gun shy on stepping on it since I'm not entirely sure what I'm looking for. I dont want this thing to blow when I'm out in the middle of bfe

According to my MAF, I should be putting down 1440HP! Something in the app isnt converting g/s to cfm correctly.

 

Time Warp with those #!!!

 

Dropped the truck off with a local tuner Monday, told him I need the knock threshold set, vvti dialed in and ignition dwell set. Three days later none of that was accomplished besides telling me my dwell was already spot on
Guess I'll have to wait until I get back mainland before I can get a REAL tuner, at least the other two "tune" shops I contacted before him were honest and said they couldn't it

 

Well at least your dwell was right. Lol.

 

Where u end up going? That’s the problem here in hawaii. So limited.
