New car, New turbo Setup, reliable? help if ya can
Alright, I'll start off by saying I now have a 93 DX hatch back DX. I'm keeping the DX motor in it for now until i can afford to change over to a SOHC Vtec in the near future (dont tell me to go b series, this project is staying D series. Ive already had my fun with my last DX with b20) Anyways. I wanted to get yalls opions on weather my setup will be reliable for 6-7psi everyday and maybe up it to 10psi on track nights and if it sounds pretty much complete. here is the set up
DX stock motor
HF Manifold
Adapter Plate
t25 turbo
turbo Oil sending kit
turbo OIl return kit
Hoses for coolant
Misu. Vacum hoses
OBX racing oil pan alreayd tapped for turbo oil return
1st gen DSM bov
390cc DSM injectors
Vortech 12:1 FMU
Walbro 255 fuel pump
1st gen DSM side mount intercooler
Boost Gauge
A/F ratio gauge
Manual Boost Controler
case of oil
New oil filter
And to add, (nothing to do with turbo setup) I also purchased a Spoon duckbill
any comments would be great, just need advice from people that have been there, done that and can lead me in the right direction

what about with the DX engine though? how much HP will it be able to handle. around 220HP correct? and around what PSI would my 390cc injectors be maxed out do you think?

I'm planing on running 6-7psi daily and maybe at most bump it up to 9-10psi at the track. I dont think I'll need 440's for only 10psi... Maybe.. but i dont think it will be nessary. but think I'm about strait for what im lookin for? Just want to be reliable, run 6-7 daily and 8-10 at the track, and maybe run some lower 14's or high 13's with BFG's drags.
