i have a ls/vtec with u.s type r pistons
i am wanting to get into turbos a little, and thought i would start small with like a complete starion or eclipse setup. since my cr is so high i was wondering what issues that causes?
or should i not even bother attempting a turbo on this setup. i dont want to run above 7psi. more like 5
i will be gettin hondata, if i go with any amount of boost. so figure that into the equation
i plan to run the small turbo setup for a while, fry my motor and rebuild it with lower cr pistons.
i just want to get the gist of how all this shit works, before i go droppin mad money on pistons and giant intercoolers/turbos

all help is appreciated.
with a high CR will that help the turbo to spool faster??

 

with hondata, and assuming i dont get boost happy, i should be ok.
if i dont have a boost controller, how much is a stock say eclipse turbo gunna put out. im lookin for 5-7psi.

if i get a boost controller, whats the lowest amount of boost i could run?
then i could just jack it up when i want to run someone.

 

the smallest turbo id go with is a straight T3. anything else will run out of breath at over like 5-6psi at high rpms. as long as you ignition timing is retared enough and u got plenty of fuel you shouldnt have any problems at all from your compression. you can only boost as low as your wastegate is set, doesnt matter whether you have a boost controller or not.

 

higher compression will make your turbo spool only a little bit faster but not much. the only thing that spools the turbo is exhaust gas, the more you push out, the faster the turbo spins.

 

true... if you want to get into turbo's i got a garrett a/r .42 turbo just taking up space at my house have no use for it since i am attempting to buy a kit i had it checked by direct injection of florida( turbo/supercharger shop) and the owner said it had little shaft play no lines clogged up and it spins freely if interested in buy in since you wanna try boost pm me and i can hook you up

 

dave, i dont want to go above 5-6 psi, thats fine with me.
im just loookin for some xtra power.
so what do i need??

IC piping how much does this cost??
turbo exhaust mani
waste gate
bov
turbo patrick said about 200-250 for what i would need
IC prob from a starion, or corrado i dont have alot of room to spare, and i dont plan on high boost
something to bypass map sensor? or low boost ill it'll be fine?
and i will get hondata to handle this shit,
and will my 290cc lude injectors be enough?

 

I/C piping will be anywhere from 200-400 bucks. youll need some steel braided lines, a bunch of fittings ,lines, and clamps, and your oil pan tapped. u can find a missing link check valve for like 30-40 bucks. the 290 cc injector will work fine, until u get hondata where u sill need at least 440cc injectors. and high flow fuel pump would definitely help, and for hondata u also need a 1:1 adjstable FPR and i think a 3 bar map sensor. i think that about covers it. you wont need hondata if u only plan on running 6psi.

 

in the future i plan for high boost.
patrick has a couple 2 and 3 bar map sensors
and i plan on running low boost till my motor goes by by
so can i get a cheapy bov and wastegate from a eclipse or am i gunna need to get tial?

 

i have a walbro pump, but patrick is using it now

 

so help me out with price here
bov new 200
wastegate new 200
ic piping you said 200-400
pat said about 250 he could get me a turbo
how much is the manifold? 350?
fittings and tap oil pan say 100?
IC i have no clue. what will a small corrado/starion cost as apposed to a huge front mount IC?
40 for a missing link
so im lookin at at least 1500++
but that would make me fuckin hall ass
