well the first item has arrived!

 

damn im jealous haha

 

no need to be jealous, you have enough mods there to sell, that you could definately get a turbo kit going.

 

haha dont tell me that ima be broke as a joke lol

 

i'm all about peer pressure and being a bad influence

 

well you got the most important part of the turbo build going...

 

yep now i'm just waiting on the manifold to come in. and as soon as the engine and tranny are in i will take the car to r&e racing for the intake manifold fabbing and the cold side piping.

 

so your waiting to have the car back together before they start in the intake mani???

 

yes because i need to drive the car up to lancaster. doesn't matter the car goes into the shop next week, just waiting on the clutch to ship out.

 

you dident graph it out, did you??

 

actually i did, and i called them to have them change my order but they fucked up and sent me the one i originally ordered. so for the mean time during fab up i'm gonna use this one since the housings should be the same.

 

give me ALL the specs you have on it and i'll give you my take on things.

i'd hate to see you have a piece thats not gonna run at max% eff.

 

the 60 trim doesn't leave much room to grow based on what i pmed you but the 50 trim seems to if i did everything right.

 

bigger trim = more air flow per wheel.

thanks. so much to learn. but i love it.

 

turbos are tricky *****, you've only started to scratch the surface.

when you start dealing with exhaust side you get heavy into turbine dynamics, the ratio between compressor and turbine wheels comes into play, surge line worries, ugh....i could go on forever.

go luck with things, once you get it tuned you'll love it.

i love the hell outta mine, every time i hear the wheel start come in and the air mass starts moving i just smile!

 

Another one eh? I thought mine would be done by now, boy was I wrong. At least I got a deal on a good turbo. Personally I think your going a bit big, I 've been looking @ what other cars with similar motors(4g63 specifically) have been getting good luck with for my choice. And I've kept one good guideline in my head, never go by what hondas use.

good luck. Keep us posted.

 

A little late, but better than never...Subscribed.

 

sorry but that piece made me

lol ecotec and 4g63 "similar motors"

yea, they have 4 cylinders....thats all the similarities.

 

it's not about similar motors, but about how well the head flows, i think my turbo is perfectly sized besides it has a t-3 turbine housing with a .63 ar. thats a pretty small surface area. should spool fine. although i may lose a bit in top end.

 

finally suscribed, i cant wait untill i get to ride in the beast jimbo

 

me too!!!!!!!!!
figured i'd post the pics of the tranny that will arrive thursday:

LSD FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

i bet, then after i get a ride we can race

x100000000 i love my lsd, it will make your car a new monster
