I have been doing the NA thing for a bit and it just wasnt cutting it so I went back to boost.
I have had 370+hp to the wheels with a different set up so I know what big power is all about. On this set up I decided to go back to what I started with....small turbo, instant boost, great drivability...and CHEAP! I've got $1200 in the whole kit.
I am only running a JR FMU at the moment but standalone is right around the corner. FMU is not that bad at all though, I ve got a V2 J&S hooked up to pull 1degree of timing per pound of boost. Car drives absolutely fantastic, I will never do big turbo again..
LHT Performance (727-344-1800) in Pinellas Park, Fla did the whole thing. They are awesome!

Glad to see you boosting again Any numbers yet?

 

The darkside ownz joo! Welcome back

 

salute to small turbos i had a t3 super 60 on my b2-0 i had insaaaane midrange



240 lb ft torque @ 4500 anyone ?

 

small turbo's are the ****.

no dyno yet, will probly wait till I get a standalone.

scott

 

yeah nothign compared to the power my small turbo gave me. not all out power but get up n go power hell yeah, my torque drops off big time up top but my HP kept on climibing, whenever i'd shift on the ls tranny i'd fall back into my sweet spot so that was alwyas good.

 

that's awesome bosch bov

 

Time to add "to turbo..." to your sig.

Nice car.

 

are those non or engines in the dyno?

btw: nice ride scooter.

 

Hella nice ride bro suerp clean

 

what i meant to say are those dyno sheets of non or vtec engines?

 

heh, it looks like you got a turbo for an early le baron, 84-87. your gonna have to buy or fab an adapter so you can stick an inlet hose on that thing.

good stuff though, i like it.

non Vtec.

 

That car looks really good.

I like the setup too.

&lt;---waiting for some numbers. midrange power on that thing must be very nice.

I've always hated stickers. But that Mugen side decal isn't actually too bad, goes with the car pretty well.

 

thankyou

scott

 

Doesnt LHT make intake manifolds and such? BTW are you on TampaRacing?

 

Nice car and great budget setup!!

 

LHT makes a supercharger IC which is incorporated into the manifold.

yes I am on TR. MugenR

scott

 

that built motor is prolly begging you to give it a real turbo!

 

it will prolly get what it wants sooner or later

scott

 

nice setup man. i like your R also. oh and where did you get that intercooler from? do you know the exact dimensions?? im looking for an intercooler from a junkyard.

 

I got the IC from my local junkyard about a year ago and never used it till now. I have never seen another one in may trips since.
I dont know the dimensions off hand, I will go measure it tomorrow when its light out.

scott

 

nice setup, how pounds are you running right now

 

7lbs at the moment. Zdyne goes in sat. then I will prolly run up to 16-18lbs, depends on a few things.
