Just recieved my HPTuners and Turbo Update!!!

[Lefix]

Hey guys!

For those of you that have heard about my turbo project or for those of you who doesn't care, i just recieved my HPTuners and my car is going to be turbocharged this upcoming weekend, which is in 4 days!!!

Im going to taken things out and put the turbo in myself with my friend's help of cutting intercooler pipings and welding exhaust...

So far i've got:

-Turbonetics T3 Turbo (Internally Gated)
-HKS SSQV BOV
-JDM Intercooler
-Ebay Ecotec Turbo Exhaust Manifold
-Innovate LC-1 Wideband with XD-16 Gauge
-Bosch Green Tops 440cc Fuel Injectors
-Bosch EV1 Fuel Injector Connectors
-NGK 1-Step Colder Spark Plugs
-2.5" Black Powder Coated Aluminum Piping with Silicon Couplers and Stainless Steel Clamps
-3" Turbo-Back Exhaust, no cat, no mufflers, straight out to a dual exhaust with a dual 3" tip on each side
-Stainless Steel Braided feed and return oil lines
-Ecotec m12 NPT Oil Fittings
-GlowShift Boost Gauge and Oil Pressure Gauge
-HPTuners!!!

Thats about all i got and i believe that should be all i need for this turbo setup to run perfectly... i just cant wait till saturday and i should have pictures and videos up when im done installing everything...

Saturday all day will be taking out everything needed to be taken out, then install everything in along with cutting Intercooler pipings and clamp them in... Complete the Oil feed and return and hook up the oil pressure gauge and the boost gauge... Put the injectors in, put the spark plugs in, connect the injectors with the bosch connectors and weld the wires... Put the manifold in, the turbo, the intercooler, and the hks bov.

Sunday i will make the downpipe and weld everything from downpipe all the way to the back 3" and into a "Y" and make a dual exhaust with a dual tip on each end... tips are going to be 3" each to make sure no restriction...

Monday will be tuning day, me and my friend will work on starting up the car, tuning, stoich a/f ratio, should be fun... gonna take forever tho omg... if can finish tuning in one day, i will take it to test drive, and more tuning, and test drive... and if everything is good, im gonna be outta the shop and i have a completed turbo project! Cant wait!!!!!!!

Wish me luck guys!!!

Thanks for listening...

good luck with all that...

btw you're not aiming for stoich are you?

you can get so much more power out of your car with boost if you aim for 11.8

[Schister66]

yeah i think that 14.7:1 might be a tad lean.....aim for 12's and you'll be fine.

[DeadBlade89]

good luck man!
hope everything works out for you and you are pleased.

God help us all......but good luck. sounds like u got everything in order finally

[Lefix]

Yeah i thought i pretty much got everything i needed...

Im probably gonna get a manual boost controller and turn the boost up to 10 PSI from 7 which is what the wastegate is set for... And go a little rich like 12's and i should be fine... omg i cant wait...

Do you think i'll be able to get about 250 horses with 7 psi and 280 with 10 psi?

[millrtime]

if you dont like ur head gasket, then sure. why not..... it will only be a matter of time before something goes BOOM on a stock motor @ 10psi

[Lefix]

I got a Cometic Head gasket for turbo applications...

Skunk over at the org is running 15psi and over 350 whp on stock internal...

We don't have a MAF...

With HP we can fake a 2 bar MAP sensor.

Good....MAF sensors are junk and its good to hear you dont have to deal w/ that bs

[Lefix]

Yup we are lucky to not have a MAF lol...

We have a 1 bar MAP sensor and we can fake a 2 bar... i dont exactly know what i suppose to do to tune my car...

Classicrocjunkie can you help me out please?

[Derk_eliso]

it's easy to fake a 2 bar, I did it

there's articles all over the org, and you can go to hpt.com and go to their forums and read all about it ....

[Lefix]

Oh DERK!!!

What did you do when you had your turbo in? What did you HAVE to do? like what did you need to edit? is it all you need to do is edit the fuel constant or something?
