turbo

what exactly do i need to have before i can sefly tubo my gs? and wat would be a good size for some good hp?

We have spell check for a reason!

Now the easiest thing to do is buy a kit, they go for around $3g but it would come with everything and you could run about 8psi and you would have around 200whp.

Did you even bother reading this thread first?

Due to some technical issues, some of the posts aren't there anymore. But regardless, there are still a lot of things in there that will help you out with this...

wat do you think would be a good kit, but keep in mind i dont wanna have to change it when i go and put some more money it this car. so basically most bang for my buck.

The only "bang" you'll get for your buck is when the motor goes out after running a big turbo for awhile. You can run the stock t-25/14b turbo's on 7psi for awhile, but the motor wears quickly. If you want to go turbo, build it up right the first time.

www.hahnracecraft.com has some good turbo kits for many different ranges, but they cost an arm, or you can build your own. www.2gnt.com has a good write-up on how to make your own kit.

I would go with the hahn kit, esecially if you have the cash. As far as how long the motor will that, it really depends. Mine wore quickly because I kept spiking 9-10psi when my fuel injectors maxed at 8psi. You need to do a lot of research before you even think about putting a turbo on that car.

You need a 6" exhaust tip and a sticker in your window that says "Nawwwzzzzz is the shit! I have no idea what I'm doing..."

After that, try and write a coherent thread. Don't worry, take your time.

:lol: Easy guys....

Turboing a car is not for the faint of heart and can cost a lot of money, especially if you dont know what you are doing. The best bang for you buck would be to sell that RS/GS and get an already turbo DSM.

Anybody can go out and buy a turbo car... But to put a turbo on a n/a car is badass

Yea its pretty cool but in the end you still only got a 16.5 second car :lol:
just playin man

Ha ha, yeah. Its like paying a couple grand to take time off your motors life.... right SilvrEclipse? :p

haha I bet yall think your funny. You talk shit now but almost everyone elses cars on here are broken down more than running. And just so everyone knows that 16.5 was without the turbo.

my car is purrin like a kitten right now.
But anyways what are you running with the turbo.

Our track just opened back up, right now I'm changing a few things on the car so it will be March till I am able to go.

so how do u think i could preserve my engine but still run a turbo?

Buy a kit and dont run more than 7psi, and get a EGT gauge to make sure your exhaust temps dont get over 1550 degrees

thanks i was starting to think i wasnt gonna get an answer.

There isn't really any way to "preserve" your engine. You're instantly decreasing the life of it by boosting any at all, these engines were not built for boost, so the more you run, the faster it's gonna blow. 7psi is a pretty mild boost, but just make sure that you know even by running that, you're still decreasing your engines life faster than you would without the turbo.

You'll always get an answer here, but sometimes it may not be the one that you want to hear.

iaght thanks
