Im new to the turbo world so i don't know much and need some help. i just got a t3/t4 turbo kit that includes an intercooler,tial wastegate,exhaust manifold, downpipe, Type rs BOV, fuel pressure and boost gauge, braided fuel lines and the turbo charger itself. I want to run this set up on my FULLY STOCK LS engine with 140K on it.I dont want to do any internal work on the engine. I want to gain 220-240WHP and i want it for daily driving on 8 psi. So i need to know what else do i need to help me gain the numbers i want and without blowing my engine.

Any advice is appreciated

Boost controller and engine management. I've been running a stock LS for 2 years boosted now at 253whp/222wtq and love it. It's not extrememly hard to get where you want.

Alright Thx. i have been readign around and im wondering do i need fuel injectors and a 255 walbro fuel pump? Manual boost control or electronic? And what do u mean by system management?

teggyboy11

And could u tell me what set up ur running. Like the things you have upgraded and changed in order to get those numbers.

When I first bought the car I have now it was a bone stock LS motor and head, inline pro manifold, sc60 turbo, 550cc injectors, and a walboro 255, victor x intake manifold, car made 270hp tuned using ectune. Unknown miles on the block when I bought the car. Beat the hell out of it everyday for about 8 months before the ring lands gave out and started shooting oil out of my exhaust.

Thx. Lsturbo33.

teggyboy11

Well i wont be beating the hell out of my car everyday and its only a summer car for me. So wit my turbo kit if get an intake mani, 550cc injectors, Walbro 255 fuel pump. Would it be safe to run 8psi's and would i be able to get the numbers i want?

lsturbo33

You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold for your power goal.

Yes, get engine management and find a tuner. You don't need an intake manifold and psi is an arbitrary number. Your engine will hold plenty of power however if tuned correctly. Your stock fuel pump is fine too.

So tuned well and not beat on every day how long WILL a stock LS motor around 100k miles and good compression last? And how much power would be safe for this situation?

teggyboy11

SO if i do get a skunk2 pro intake manifold and a walbro fuel pump and lets say 550cc's would i be lookin at bigger hp numbers with a good tune. Would it be safe if i boost to 10 psi with stock internals?

rev-speed

drop the sk2 manifold and get water/meth injection
will can do over 20 psi with a good tune
-550 s too small just go to 1200 u can idle fine.........

PSI doesnt really mean anything man, Every turbo will make different power on a certain level of PSI. You want to know how much HP and Torque your stock LS will take. I can say, from the all the stock turbo LS's in my area, they're all making between 270 and 300 some HP.

lsturbo33

I have a stock ls with arp headstuds. 300hp 256tq. It has lasted a year so far daily driving.

teggyboy11

As good as it sounds i dont want to go that route. I just want to go 10-13 psi max this year its my first turbo when i get to know a lil more by next year im gonna go 20psi and higher

teggyboy11

Thats exactllyyy What i want what set up you got? What fuel pump and injectors and such? give me a lil more details.

i just got my turbo ls on the road:

bone stock b18a1
skunk2 intake manifold
blox exhaust manifold
550 injectors
walbro 255 fuel pump
precision 350hp intercooler
2.5" ic piping and exhaust
tial wastgate w/ 10.1psi spring
garrett turbo

car made 265whp/223tq @ 9.2psi tuned on NepTune

Tuning soft wear. Fuel pump. Head studs. And at least 550cc injectors. U should be good for 300hp with a good tune.

teggyboy11

Tx. guys so im gona get 550cc's or 650cc's, Intake manifold, walbro fuel pump and do a good tune. Whats the difference between having my own tunning software and just going to a tuner for a good tune?

tonythetuner®

Don't forget head studs they are a must if not ur gonna be blowing head gaskets. Not good. And there is a big diffrence in tuning it ur self from some one who knos wat there doing. If u don't kno wat ur doing u could blow ur motor. Plus if u do it urself u need a wide band 02. And a lot off high way pulls to get it tuned. I never tuned a car myself. I would highly suggest a good tune if u want the motor to last...

Get some 550cc's & call it a day if you're happy with 300hp. Don't waste your money on the intake manifold. Get a fuel pump,an ems(neptune/crome/ectune/hondata) that your tuner is familiar with, fuel pressure regulator, and a set of new cold plugs (7 series) to get started.

BLU CIVIC

why would he need a fuel pressure regulator when stock is fine?

You can't boost a stock Honda and make those numbers on a stock regulator.

So what's the point of dropping in a fuel pump n injectors if your planning on running a stock regulator. Haha.
