What's up people I'm Mike anyways

i have a 94 rs and im gonna boost it im buying a bolt on drag turbo kit im just wondering like if there are any others that boosted LS motors, and can help me out for stuff to pay close attention to while im doing this build.

Motor is the stock ls b18b1 165K miles stil has a Crap load of life in it i just did oil change and did a valve adjust she runs great as hell but i want more power enough to let tires lose and have fun

so im just wondering like will 440cc injectors be fine and what size fuel pump i should get and 7 psi will be fine right??? cause this is my daily driver i dont gotta drive to work hella far but i mean i want a car thats gonna last for awile till i feel like saving up the money to either drop the compression and rebuild it or just go gsr swap so any feed back will be great. Lets keep the feed back nice, dont be a dick and talk **** about my build and crap,

i will be getting 2.5 inch exhaust installed on the car once the turbo comes and getting ready to put it on im gonna keep my cat but eliminate my resinator will it still flow enough, or should i get a test pipe??? and run no cat or buy a used cat and hallow it out and keep my stock one so i can still un bolt everything and go smog the car when the time comes u know thanks

feed back appreciated

BUMP if u read and dont reply please

thanks

Yes, there are thousands, upon thousands, of boosted LS's.

buy good fuel management, and get a good tuner, and you will be happy. The search function is your friend, there are YEARS of info in that one key, make sure to search Archived posts.

thanks very much appreciated i guess i have to put my glasses on time for some reading

SteamedRice

what is your horsepower goal? the trend that i've seen is ROUGHLY 1hp = 2cc injection. so if you want ~275hp go with at least 550cc injectors imo

fireman mike2288

i only want like 240hp so i was thinking 440cc injectors be fine its a ddrag bolt on turbo kit im buying i just need injectors, oil return line with tap, ecu with a basemap prolly gonan use crome, and i just wanna know what to look out for boostin it since this is my daily drive i dont rip in my car often but i just wanna be able to have fun when i do slam the pedal to the floor and i want the bov sound intercooler look and fun at the track once in awile u know

larger injectors never hurt anyone. I'd look into 550s or bigger. just make sure you have a good tuner.

JDogg

440's will make around 280-300 on an ls motor.. more than enough for what you want

7psi with a drag kit, small exh and stock cat should get you a little over 200hp, maybe 220

rorik

You could probably just drop in some dsm blue top 450s..cheap and easy to find.
Good luck passing smog with that..guess you must know someone. I didn't, and got a ticket for expired registration. $880. I hate California. Good luck also not getting your car stolen in w sac, too..

fireman mike2288

cars is taged till next year and when time to smog ill just pull it all off or pay my buddy 250 for the **** lol

boostedeg302

I had the same setup at one point and I went with 550s. Its around the same price as 440s and leaves a little extra room for upgrades. I switched to a b16 head and upd the boost and didnt have to buy new injectors. A made 422 with a stock bottom end and arp head studs. I also ran open dp so ur a little more restricted. All I can say is spend the money wisely (good tune) and you will be set

boostedeg302

o and go with a walbro 255

bigbadboy

get a 3" exhaust, i would go with no smaller then 550's. get a good tune and do not drive on it with a basemap please!! i boosted my bone stock LS motor and made 400. but thats with a bigger turbo and 16psi. it had over 200K on it

fireman mike2288

i only want like 240 i dont want 400 my motor wont hold it i know it wont and other than that basemap should be fine i dont wanna get it tuned and have it go boom i have a good tuner, im juts lookin for a little fun not a full on race car as i said this is my daily driver. And i cant get 3'' exhaust my muffler inlet is only 2 1/2 inch so im just going with 2 1/2

dont waste your time boostin it if your not going to tune, a base map is only meant for driving to the dyno, its not designed to be boosted on. u are much more likely to have problems drivin around on a basemap then a fully tuned car.

boost and tune or leave it stock

fireman mike2288

Thanks jeff but im worried if i tune it, it will go boom

is that supposed to be a joke? i know you said not to flame you but good lord man your on fire....

a basemap is not tuned, it is BASE-ically set for your set up so you can drive to get tuned. why would you think that getting it tuned would make it blow, that is the ABSOLUTE MOST IMPORTANT THING to keep it from blowing.....

get a walbro 255

dont use a cat if you want the most hp and best turbo spool

440's are ok for your goal

2.5" exhaust will be ok, bigger the better with boost but for your goals that is fine

it looks like you have a good list other than the tuning thing.


BTW i like the simpleness of your car, or how it looks at least, set that thing around 250 to the ground and that will be a sick little sleeper.

fireman mike2288

i mean ok help me out when i take it to get tuned what all is he going to do????

agrn93ls

they will fine tune every aspect of the ignition and fuel maps to YOUR car and your car only, they will tune the air fuel ratio, the timing retard per pound of boost, set a boost cut in case you overboost it will keep from blowin it and much more. a basemap is for anyone with said engine. a basemap is designed for your size engine basically but not for your setup or your conditions. so they work as well as a one size fits all because that is what they are, a tune is a custom tailored suit to your body so its perfect for you not the entire public.


think of it as "fine" tuning, thats what it is.

basemaps are getting better i think but their purpose is to get you up and running when you have gone outside the parameters that a stock ecu program can control. so you cant confidently trust that it will stay together using one. it might it might not.

fireman mike2288

ok so with a drag bulton kit and a buddy who has same kit but for a ej8 should it take us like a day to install and i have synthetic oil i hear thats better is this right?

agrn93ls

yes depending on your level of knowledge and tools you have and yes

fireman mike2288

do u have aim so i can talk to u more about this?

agrn93ls

no i dont have one. you could just pm me and ill get to ya when i have time bro.

i started in the same place you did and i just read and read and read and repeat. i read for freakin ever and i learned alot. but nothing is as good as just doin it and learnin along the way.
