hey guys, intrested to know how to set when your turbo kicks in? i.e 4rpm or lower? is it set by a boost controller? or does it need to be done under the bonnet?
sorry for noob question done a search + google n nout came up.

 

it depends on engine size and turbo size combined.....

some other things play a factor.. ie Exhaust size, charge piping size ETC... but not as much as turbo size and displacement

 

you can't set when your turbo kicks in really, it starts spooling whenever you get enough exhaust flow.

 

what size motor and turbo

A b-series with a t3 turbo usually spools around 2500-3000rpm

A b series with a t3t4 turbo usually spools around 3500-4500rpm


Just depends on setup.

 

b18b , not picked turbo as of yet, most likley a t3 trying to pick best turbo but iam having a hard time deciding revhard, fullrace, greddy

 

I'll decide for you, home made turbo kit

 

see i would but honestly i dont have enough exp to put it all togeather my self id love to tho :D so a kit would be great if anyone got ideas...

 

btw its a B18B going into a eg civic 95 model
kit with as less mucking around as possibly looking to hit over 300break

 

out of those kits you listed...you should get full race, but you can save a lot of money by piecing together your own kit.

 

yeah id really like to piece togeather my own kit, wudnt know what turbo to get etc tho so iam best going for one thats put in a box for me lol

 

what are your plans,expectations and budget?

 

ok plans obv turbo a b18b, looking for over 300break, expect a nice non lag turbo good runner, budget will be £2000 or £3000, engine first, and all mods to make engine best perform with turbo, then il be purchasing turbo.
it will be used for weekend car! my mate has a rs turbo 195 break, so want to hand him his own *** on a silver platter basicly lol also very intrested in having a nice and fast car.

 

i don't know how much that is in US currancy, but a t3/t04e turbo with a .63 ar is sounding perfect for what you want. go to the full race website and look at their kits. look at all the parts you need and then go buy them individually. full race is great quallity and i have seen it right infront of my face, but you can get a good equal length ramhorn manifold for half the price. a intercooler is a intercooler and the cheap ebay intercoolers should work just fine for you. no need to spend 4 or 5 hundred $ on a name brand intercooler. as far as the wastegate and BOV, i would get tial for shure. also buy every thing name brand except for the intercooler. so that means stay away from ebay unless you are for sure it is the real deal. there is a lot of knock offs on ebay.

 

thanks man, what would be best fullrace for me? there are alot of kits tbh, i can see only kits for 400break rest are 800 etc lol... this one looks pritty decent, but being new to turbo's iam no expert http://www.full-race.com/catal...d=844 .

 

Also available is the Hasport High Horsepower upgraded motor mount kit for $300.

addition il be getting this with my engine. that a good choice or would u recommend other brand ?

 

do you want to keep ac?

 

to be honest dont care, it can get ripped out! its a weekend car, worst comes to it i can fire in portable fan , but iam sure heat from engine + turbo will keep me ok :D

 

get the full race stage one kit, or you can piece a kit together with the parts listed. that should be enough to get you to 300 whp. if you keep ac (highly recommended if its hot where you live) it will be a little more expensive.

 

I got a blox b series turbo manifold and spoolin downpipe, with charge piping, all you need now is a turbo, wastegate, oil line kit and a intercooler. and some engine management, thats 60% of the kit.
I am in Germany dont know about shipping, but it would be easier than to the states
pm me if interested
