Jn2's turbo build thread
alright guys, just an update, nothin much has been done as far as progress on the build as i am still collecting parts, but imanaged to get a few things ready as far as supplies, i got a oil psi gauge, also got a flex pipe to make the intake for the turbo, cuz i dont want it to suck hot as **** air, so the pipe flexes enough to make it thru the left side gap thats inebwteen the engine and the strut tower, ts a 2", since the turbo's inlet is 2", the pipe is 2" than converts to 3" and that is where i will put my K&N filter, also got me some hoses for the feed and return lines, i didnt wanna spent 100's on some fucken lines, so i went to a local shop and got me some super heat resistant hoses, as in it will take the heat from the oil and the coolant with ease, so i got that, also got the fitting on the turbo so that the hoses can clamp on it, got the line for the wastegate actuator, that same line can be used for the line tht goes into the BOV, i couldn't find any stud for the turbo though, so i need to go to home depot and get some studs for the turbo, that or i will just have a bolt and nut on the other end

well got the flanges i needed, went to a exhaust shop and piked them up, no idea what car they came off of, but they are 2.5" piping, so they will work, the short end will bolt onto the dsm o2 housing, and the long one will bolt up to my megan exhaust, so i will have a full 2.5" back exhaust, the tee is for the water feed, i got it at autozone, will work fine, its made to run hot coolant thru it, so it will serve as the tee for the water feed, only hard thing left to do is make the oil drain tap
yeah the more i think about it the more i relize i will be done far ahead of shedule, atleast as far as collecting the parts, only a few more things and i will be done, next is the dsm o2 housing and the j pipe, follwing will be the manifold and the Ic piping, not to mention the lsj injectors...but collecting the parts is o nly the easy part...the long part iis fitting everything
ima spend a good day on that one
I have a 16G6 compressor map which should be close to it if you are interested. What are your overall power goals?
350whp. I can get a full ZEX nitrous kit from my buddy for $200 but im still deciding if i even want to deal with it. It would be a 50shot no more to get to 400whp.
For the compressor map, ill need to flow 40 lb/min of air @ a 2.98 pressure ratio(im at 13.4 psiA). hows that look? Thats for 380bhp.

ill pm you something i made to make it a bit easier. it will help explain to you what goes into reading them.
Basically hp is directly related to the airflow. Doesnt matter the size of the engine, you must flow X amount of air to make y horsepower. for example. 40lb/min of air about 380bhp worth of air. You then have to calculate your pressure ratio at your current altitude and max rpm, displacement and VE and you then have your pressure ratio. you plot the lb/min + pressure ratio on the compressor map and depending on where it lands on the map is what turbo you go with. Theres a little more you have to look at, but thats the basics.

you knows that graph that looks all weirdo, well thats the compressormap, very useful during a turbo build, that is if you know how to read them, i learned how by reading thru the thread on ecotecforums, so your 16g came set at 10psi, wow, i wonder if mine is the same, wont matter, 10psi on that baby cant be that bad, im sure i wont hit more than 220whp<-which is the highest i am willing to make at this time

i will se if i get a man. boost controller, they arent exensive, the have flooded ebay, lol, and they work i know, my buddy has on of them 7 dollar ones on his evo, and it works fine, been on for a year no problems, but yeah, i need to see what it puts doen first, than i will see if i want to add a bit more, but you say open it a tad bit for better response hu? interesting, i will surely try that when i get it all done

Easy conversion from CFM to lb/min ix CFM x .0756 = lb/min.
Looks like ill be in the 68 - 70% efficiency on that turbo @ 380hp. Its 530cfm @ 2.98 pressure. Not bad. That would put me at 24psiG on a 7000rpm redline on my 2.2.
Did you say the Evo III 16G is a bit more efficient? If so, sweet ****!
