idk guys motivation is lacking right now, i say maybe 30% interested in it, and you really think they would hold the psi? arent they pretty much maxed out on the ss/sc, and they only make 205 crank hp

 

205 crank HP?
Yes, but don't forget most dyno a little over 210 ;}

 

tru tru, so they might be able o take more..hmm, and setting them past 80% recommemded wouldnt hurt if needed to maybe set it to 85-90...idk

 

You can run the injectors to 95% duty cycle before they go static, so you will be fine. You're not going to make much more than 210-220ish with the stock wastegate setting, so you'll be fine.

I bet you'd be more interested once you get to see how much quicker the car will be!

 

i know that...but the more i think about it...i could always sell everything and stay n/a use the money to buy other ****...a header and dp, 2.4 mani kit, 2.4 TB, tune...****...SO CONFUSED!!!!!!!!!!!!! im not the type of guy that floors it all the time, hell even now my cars seem ok in speed as it is, i havent hit WOT in my car in ages, i do 70& throttle max...havent seen redline since march at the track...gaining 20 ponies from mods+a tune seems good aswell....

 

There is no amount of NA mods you are going to put on your car that will give you the bang for the buck this turbo will. Even at part throttle you are going to notice a huge difference in the way the car moves. Boost is awesome hands down.

 

i know that...but i just dont have the drive to work on it anymore...i planned on doing it all myself, i have the skills, and i know where everythhing goes and how it will go, just im lossing my drive

Me too, I know what you mean. Damn it anyways, I quit too. Been too long and hell I lost my gung-ho. Who cares if we are just the "almost made it guys"
Thanks for helping see the light Jn2

 

i seriously hope your being sarcastic.........

 

I've been getting bored of my car as well but its mostly from the lack of boost

I'd love to go down that path but tuning owns me...

btw those 34# injectors you have are pretty much done for around 200whp if you do the math so you're right in wanting to upgrade but you should be able to find some 42's pretty easily...

i mean if i can find someone to take this build of my hands that'd be great, i dont wanna part anything away...i pretty much have everything needed to throw a turbo and go on a balt...i will consider selling this for now, im not going to post it or nothin, but it is iin my mind, i mean boost is nice, but idk if i want to risk my engine like that, im only 19 i dont think i can afford to have down time due to a bent rod, or fried piston...ya know...im actually talking to someone right now seeing if he wants to take all my stuff, im not sure on the price yet, i have to go over my bank account and get the total amount of money i have spent on everything so far...that way i can know ho much to sell it for...will do that right now actually

alright went thru my bank info...so far i have out down 1,065 dollars into this...all in the period of 1.5 months...now if i sell it all as a whole what do ya'll think a good price would be? now remember i iclude everything listed above along with the steering column pod and the boost gauge...

well i made the for sale thread in the classified...i posted 800 obo...i know how low im willing to go to, so if i get 800 than yay, if not i now what my reserve is

if any one that has been following my build is interested in buying this, PM me, i will let it go to you for the resrve price, all other members thay havent made a sustaintal amount of posts in this thread wont be told the reserve

 

Fine then. Being shot I could get used to but the wife wouldn't be too happy with me if our house blew up, so I will finish the car.

 

d00d NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOO you gotta finish this

 

Before you sell all your stuff could you please do me a huge favor? I would like to see some pictures of the turbo & manifold bolted up to the car. I just want to see a couple things for future reference. Please!

 

wow youve only got a 1000 dollars in this...**** i have like 4000

 

yeah im only 1 down, but i am doing all the labor myself, no hel from no one, yet...no shop time, no nothin, all in my garage, one step at a time

i am still mix'd on it, i mean no one has shown interest in it yet, and my team is really pushing me to finish this...i think i will mount the Ic to the front of the car with the buumper on to get some motivation, got to see hwo it looks...

i will try, im sure im bound to atleast try the manifold out to fit it...i will let you know when i do, prob no tme soon though, not enough time to really try it out right now

 

I am confused. Your thread makes it seem like you havent installed this kit yet, but your sig and your vid of the boost gauge tell a different story.

 

kit is not installed, i have been piecing everything together as i go, the sig is a pic of every pipe bolted up and ready to go, but i take it down as i still need tuning, and the video if you look closely it only reads vacuum, wait **** i dont rev it that high right, no wonder, no thinks i hit boost since i only rev to 3k...lol..

 

What about the boost gauge?

 

what about it? its installed and is fully funtional, but since i have no boost it only reads the vacuum

 

Now what boosted 2.2 am I going to race next GM texas Bash?

 

dont worry i only paved the sidewalk, im sure my info will help my teamates walk thru it, i know one our guys is interested in buying it, so you might have a turbo 2.2 at the bash next year

 

bump for a great kit!

 

well the kit may be gone within the next couple hours, good thing though is that i will consider another project..note i will only consider it...will update with pics later tonght
