piecing together a turbo kit

[Syn48]

lol well i was thinking about it to day cuz a previous post said somthing about taking off the front bumper to put in the intercooler and i though doesnt seem like there is much room in that area so would i lose the bumper permanetly.

Also i know it has been discussed before but a turbo should really effect my gas mileage unless i am driving in high rpms right?

[eclipsed4utoo]

well yeah you will have to take off you front bumper, but you put it back on...lol. you are right about the room for an intercooler. a 27x7x3 FMIC should do the trick.

i dont know much about the gas, but i think it would also depend on how much boost you are running. more boost= more air, more air=more fuel

speaking of fuel, dont forget to upgrade you fuel pump. most people go with the Walbro 255lph fuel pump

ok cool i just found out that a guy i work with just smashed up his 01 gts and i was wondering if his exhaust header will work on my ride. also should i even think of asking for his ecu or anything like if anyone could help me make a quick list of what to ask for.


thanks

None of that will work on your car. Since his is a V-6, and your's is a I-4. About the only thing you can trade out is the air filter element. Hey could you ask him how much he wants for his stereo display and deck? Possible his dash speaker as well?

[Syn48]

all right i am going to make my final list now but if i miss something let me know and i will add.



Small 16g turbo from fiautosports
Walbro 255 lph fuel pump
27x7x3 FMIC intercooler (anybrands?)
oil return line kit (ebay)
2g gsx-gst headers
Greddy Emanage
what should i do for exhaust and what would happen if i ran the turbo with stock exhuast for a little while?
downpipe? (is this needed?)
BOV ( any recomended?)
Tial 38mm wastegate, 5.8psi spring (.4bar)
450cc injector
and some gauges

y can ask him about the stuff but i dont know what he has his car was totaled

[eclipsed4utoo]

with the exhaust, you can run the stock as long as you want. all its going to do is restrict your peak hp. the bigger the exhaust, the more exhaust gases can escape, the more horsepower you will get out of it. some people go to a local shop and get a custom 3'' exhaust, some go with a Greddy evo II, some go with magnaflow, some go with the Apexi N1.

i believe Spearco makes an intercooler that size.

you could try out the Greddy S-type BOV

This is just a pesonal thing but be warry of walbro products.

[Syn48]

how much power would i actually lose by running stock exhaust? because i meanits already 2.25" what more can the .75" bring. i understand that the cat system is what will allow more power?i i would like to at some point do a full exhaust after the turbo but like i said i dont have a huge budget to work with i am only 17 so, but thanks for all your help i will be posting when i do the install sometime this summer.

[eclipsed4utoo]

you would probably loose 15-20 hp somewhere around there

01 GTS does not exist

[eclipsed4utoo]

thats beside the point. the exhaust manifolds wouldnt fit even if there was a '01 GTS

[Stickin_It_2_Em]

I thought I rad somewhere that the turbo manifold off a 1st, and 2nd gen eclise wil fit our cars? Anyone know any truth to this?

[eclipsed4utoo]

the turbo manifold off a 2g will fit on a 3G RS/GS. but Syn48 said that his friend smashed his 01' GTS. the GTS manifold will not work on a 3G RS/GS. The GT/GTS is a V6 and and the RS/GS is 4cyl.

[dickswhip00gs]

and if he rearends someone, a lousy intercooler will be the least of his problems. riding around with no front bumper- c'mon man! if you couldnt figure that out, maybe you ought to skip the turbo, and leave it stock. same thing with the header. gain some common knowledge before you consider a turbo instal. im trying not to be a dick, but.....
