OK so I splurged on myself for christmas and got a nice new setup started and everything is supposed to be here in a week, but the problem I am running into is if I should hold off until I get my spare motor built to put on the turbo or should I just say screw it and throw everything on the motor I am running now and have some fun for the next month or two? Kind of caught between going either way.....keep in mind the minimum amount of boost I can run is 11lbs due to the wastegate....

 

I'd prolly wait for the new motor

 

Its pretty easy to change out the wastegate spring.

As for the built motor, how long can u wait for boost? Me, I am tired of waiting and I think I am going to just put my turbo set up on a stock GSR block until I can get the built block done. Trying to do everything at once not only complicates **** but its hella expensive too!

 

Yeah I know what you mean.....just getting bored with the car and that's why I am temped to put it all on when I get it.....

 

change the wastegate spring and get that **** on ASAP

 

do you guys know how much it is for an extra spring? maybe like a .4 bar?

 

i haven't looked into it...but i don't think it would be that much

 

cancel that....just found a .4 bar spring for sale in the Classifieds:Forced Induction Forum....sent the guy a PM with an offer....

I could just tune the setup that I am going to have to some decent numbers until I get the new motor....hmmm

 

good deal...you will be happy even with the stock motor

 

I did the turbo thing before and made 275whp with the Greddy kit and was happy with that for a while and then sold it to settle down with the lady.........now that we are settled it's back to boost!

 

good deal with that too....right now i have the greddy kit on a b16....only 6 pounds thoughr right now ....i can't wait to get the headgasket adn the 440's and get that bitch tuned and turn up the boost....what motor was your kit on?

 

Had the Greddy TD05-18G Turbo on a b16a2 that had JE 9.1:1 pistons, Eagle H-Beam Rods, GSR Cams, RC440 Injectors, Greddy E-Manage, Greddy Profec B Boost Controller, and HKS SS BOV.....did 275whp & 218ft lb of torque @ 13 lbs.....252whp & 206 ft lb of torque @ 10lbs....

doing a rebuild on another b16a that I have chillin in my closet along with a new turbo setup....

 

very nice bro

 

thanks....I am hoping that the new setup will do what I want it to do and then I will be done for quite some time.....I ordered everything yesterday so I should get it next week and then I can get some pictures up...

 

you have any numbers (1/4 times) with your previous greddy set-up?

 

unfortuantly I was always working and never got a chance to get out to the track....I raced a fellow H-T Member that lives here locally and he ran a 12.8 in the 1/4 on radials and when we raced on the street he beat me by half a car and he thinks that I would have easily been a 13.1/13.2 or maybe even a 12.9 if I could get mad traction/60 ft time....

 

hmmm nice

 

gracias!

 

 

Boost that chit mang... Keep the boost conservative and have some fun... And let me drive it...

 

What all did you get Bri-dawg?
