Yeah their quality is so freaking amazing tho. Their downpipe that I got to looks so damn sexy lol.

 

yeah i know, i have their o2 sensor housing, downpipe, and exhaust. Its a 3" vband exit on the turbo to their catless downpipe, and full 3" street exhaust with the resonator and muffler. All polished stainless. The quality is unreal, the bends in the exhaust fit the factory S shape in the floor board like its OEM. I have a bunch of pics in turbo duck thread.

 

Yeah so for the first bung should I put the wideband there or just put the wideband in the one near the end of the dp

 

excuse me? my stock motor is a champ

 

I know a few guys turbo swapped and over 100k still running fine.

 

yeah but that has a lot to do with the driver, the tune, are you really taking the car out to 22 psi everyday and or 8000 rpm? Just too many variables. But yeah we all know there are some nice Wednesday made motors out there. LOL

 

put the wide band in the downpipe, when I had my lc-1 with the bosch setup in the o2 housing off the turbo it was all over the place. I tried it in 3 locations, the best was the downpipe without a cat. The o2 housing just off the turbo should be for your narrow band stock bank 1 sensor 1. I put a plug in the other one that came with the lc-1. I deleted bank 1 sensor 2 o2 sensor sense its for the catalytic and I dont have one now. Delete the sensor in hpt.

 

So is mine it checked out good just got to figure why my car is down 70 horsepower though.

 

 

all factors that have nothing to do with the integrity of the bottom end. My bottom end is completely fine. The only reason I made the swap is because I'm planning for the future, and because the cost of swapping out one cylinder is more expensive than just doing an engine build.

 

It's all about that tune!

 

Hello fellas I'm going turbo soon and I had a question. Where could I find an ic and charge pipes? I knw zzp, and Hahn. But looking for something not to pricey.

 

CX racing of course you will have to fab a bracket

 

Thanks man ill look that up.

 

trader

 

Oh no problem I think their 27x7x3 is like 90 bucks

 

Or you bite the bullet a little more and get a treadstone. Higher quality part than cx racing.

 

I will miss the whine

Damn that is cheap. Lol. Thanks a lot man really helped me out. I was stressing how much everything was gonna cost.

 

I'll check that out to.

 

No problem Blue so what turbo you going with?

 

5431e precision turbo. So far I'm getting the turbo, turbo manifold, down pipe, oil lines, tial wastgate,& ttr intake mani. Still need the charge pipes, ic, and do I need the 2.2 alternator with the tensioner and belt?

 

Catted downpipe? If so maybe getting clogged? Slight boost leak, tighten down all your clamps? Leak at the exhaust manifold during full boost, gonna be impossible to hear with an open dump and that kind of leak will make the turbo work harder to maintain boost and my guess cause a drop in power. Tighten down all the nuts on the manifold. If it was my car I would start from there.

 

Yes you will need to and I recommend going on ebay and looking for a used 2.2 tensioner and alternator, preferably with low mileage. I got the alternator for $40, it only has about 46k on it and it works perfectly. You'll also need the 2.2 alternator pigtail, which I also got off of eBay for about $25 from a company called Standard. I got the Good Year Gatorback belt for the 2.2, the number on that is 4050400, it was only about $10 shipped, I hope it's the right one lol. Haha I got a Precision turbo too, I went with the 5531 MFS, makes awesome power with awesome spool time, especially for a 0.63 A/R turbine housing.

 

When do you hit full spool with the 5531?

 

Really good info man thanks. My friend was actually gonna do this build on his lnf but he wants to build his motor first. So I jumped on it and sold my TVS and everything I had. Lol. Do you know what your making power wise?
