well for 150 an ebay turbo im not too worried. by the time it burns up, I hope to have a bigger better turbo anyways. tinking between a gt35 to 40. By the way are you using a topmount or ramhorn with your gt42

 

bottom mount equal length, but up grading to a custom twinscroll bottom mount when funds permit.

 

I'm going to assume this is on 93 octane pump gas

With 93 octane pump gas and 20lbs of boost ... No

Your tuning system should include a two-step. So MSD isn't needed

You don't ADD timing with nitrous. Nitrous increases cylinder pressure substantially. With a 100 shot you need to start RETARDING / TAKING TIMING AWAY

I dont have anything else right now, but im sure I will soon. On a side note while im using an ebay turbo for now, if you could explain how 20psi from one turbo can make 50 more hp than 20psi from a different turbo.[/quote]

to put it in very simple simple terms, bigger turbo= more whp, than smaller turbo on same psi. Its all about how many cfm's each turbo flows.

 

on a sidenote, corey said you are going to run 26'' slicks? I would advise against that. People have run 9.1-9.2 on 24.5'' slicks

 

i havent really got into all of that yet. this is a memory project build for my little brother so its on a little but at a time. i literally started with almost nothing cause my brother bought the car of a typical hinda kid who knew nothing and fucked things up. I have done a lot to it, although some people hate on the ebay stuff, but obviously i plan on breaking a few things and upgrading later. I have got some l-con traction bars and the blox drag coilover kit. next will be rims and tires after i get som pro1s. I really dont want to tune until that so i dont pay twice for the same thing. If you have any tips on best rims and tires ill def keep in mind cause i dont think corey will be helping me anytime soon.

 

well I dont know what rims for you to get, but as far as tires go, it depends on the power you are making. I daily drive on 235/60's because of the power and weight of my car, and anything smaller the car is all over the street/hwy. tire size also depends on your tranny. Ls tranny and big tires really dont mix well iv noticed and am in the process of getting a b16 tranny with gearspeed carbon coated snycro's.

 

Seriously dude, you don't have a clue what you are talking about. Before I venture any further, what manifold/waste gate setup are you using?

 

Im pretty sure it's an ebay kit, with a tubular manifold.

How is your car coming along Jason?

 

Brraaappp.....vtec engages.....power goes from 235whp down to 120whp.....

Hopefully I will finish tuning it next week with all 8 squirters making it happen.
