turbo

I want to turbo my car but I have a auto trans and I want to know if it will hold and what size turbo would be good I will eventually get a lsd manual trans in the future or trade mine in on a manuel which is why I'm thinking turbo

Ok I'm planning on getting this turbo what else would I need to run with this. What size injectors would be good and what brand charge piping and inrercooler would everyone suggest. I want to try to stay around 250hp on my auto tranny and it will have a transmission cooler.

Id buy the zzp stage 1 and fab up your own charge pipes with a fmic. Remember you get what you pay for. This comes with a downpipe and oil lines, all you need to do is pull the oil pan off and get it tapped/welded and get a oil galley port out. Simple brah keep it simple, less headaches to worry about.

your looking into a lot of headache going turbo man. just do a sc swap but if turbo is your goal try and go with a kit. zzp makes one for 2.2 and 2.4
also i just got the hahn kit and the no tap oil solution sucks, just tap the oil pan and save yourself the trouble later down the road.

Thats a big risk having it below the sump/tray if you just put it in the oil plug man. Just sayin. But if it works more power to ya.

Yes thats correct, its above the plate so it will drain better than puddling in the end.







As you can see there is a plate that covers the sump, you wanna be over that so it drains better IMO.

I paid 65 bux at a performance shop to get my pan tapped/welded and my bov welded onto a pipe. This is aluminum so bring it somewhere that can weld ALUMINUM!

I believe the auto tranny will take around 350 before you start running into problems...that's one reason I'm happy to have my auto...I know the tranny will be just fine long after the engine blows....lol.

when i was talking with hahn its good for the 20g but when your looking to push 22psi and up you should tap the oil pan. imo the biggest turbo i would use the no oil solution with is a 50trim with low psi. they say the no tap oil solution creates a lot of pressure in the head, i would just tap the pan man. it will save you in the long run.

Just put a cap on the end of it or replace the pan.
