That's what she said!

I got a chance today to measure the wheels, they're Garrett T3/T04E 50 trim with stage 2 turbine, .50/.63ar housings and vband exhaust. Guy had them on a V8 mustang making 500+whp at 15 psi. He upgraded to bigger ones

One should be perfect for my Vitara D16Y8, I'm looking for something around the 300whp range

If you're going to rely on their car, I'd make sure to keep up with maintenance. Turbo cars need more frequent oil changes, don't go around banging off the limiter at every stoplight. Keep an eye on the oil level at every fill up.

What was the limiting factor on the boost? why couldnt you turn it up to 20+?

a's_mp3

wanting to boost my EG this summer...starting to part together my own turbo build

JgDsMr

As its says on the top, I just bought this. So i didnt pick the number. It could go higher but you gotta stop somewhere. Im happy with power for now and its currently my DD so I dont wanna push it. Im building a very mild b18c now for another ek I have and want to make that my DD. So until then Im gonna leave it as it sits.

This $120 turd is lasting much better than I expected...no more shaftplay than what came from the box

ive had a similar set up ad this and i beat the **** out of it for 4 years , then i got bigger turbo ect ect
id check the oil often and plugs as well
dont be doing burnies around every turn and bouncing off the limiter like a boss and you should enjoy years of driving this car

JgDsMr

I treat this car like a baby. I have never even used the 2 step. check oil at every fill. been using 5-30 royal purp. should I use 10-30? wanna take it to the strip this spring. Im running on e85. Dont you need different plugs for e85 gas? Im curious. This weekend Ima find out what plugs are in it.

The fully synthetic Rotella 5W-40 has been working great for years in my car. 1 gallon jug is more than enough and is under $25.

^ very nice, do you have a dyno chart? When do you see full boost with the 57 trim? I was going to get one, but people said it was laggy on D16 motors.

Are you going to keep the roller rockers and VTEC-E?

red_EF9Si

Holy fawk that's impressive, especially for a non-vtec. My car made way less on a very similar setup to yours. I heard church was good but damn!!
Here's my setup..

JDM D15B - bone stock (fresh rebuild less than 2.5k)
JDM S20 hydro trans
Innovative cable/hydro converstion kit
Innovative motor mounts (85a)
Innovative traction bar
Competition stage 4 6 puck sprung clutch
Precision 3231e turbo (T3 .48/.63)
Precision 680cc injectors
ebay cast log manifold
Walbro 255
Aeromotive 1:1 fpr
ebay fuel rail
P28 on crome (91 pump)
Tial 38mm wastegate
HKS SSQV bov
Blox mbc
GM 3 bar map
ebay half size radiator
ebay small black intercooler
ebay vacuum block
ebay sandwich plate
ebay oil line kit
2" charge pipes hot side
2.5" charge pipes cold side
2.5" downpipe w/ cutout
2.5" paisa muffler shop crush bent exhaust piping
2.5" Magnaflow resonator
2.5" Magnaflow muffler

This setup only made 171 whp/161 tq @ 9psi with full exhaust. Engine had trouble breathing on the dyno with full exhaust so I left it alone. With cut out open it pulls and feels like a totally different car. Gonna make another dyno pass soon with cutout open and a few more psi...should hit 230whp easy.

lots of SOHC turbo setups these days I see. I cant wait to rebuild my bottom end...

thinkskater007

That makes two of us. Started tearing mine down last week. Motor should be out this weekend.

Nice pick up. I have been using one of those for my brothers civic. although it is the 57 trim. Easily makes over 400 on his b16.


Hoping to get my motor back together asap. Rods are on back order :/ If all else fails, we have a set of crower rods bnib on the shelf, but they have the small bolt. seems a bit sketchy for what I want this year lol.

waiting for the fender exit pics on the 3peice :D

sde780

Got a retune with the 50 trim

We decided not to push it since it's my DD and I am perfectly content with 310whp. Delivering sushi in this car is FUN!
