Ok so me and a couple buddies got together an idea but have never turbo'd anything. Now the question at hand is we have an ls motor all stock and we would like to just get a stock turbo off of something and install it making a custom manifold and such. what other parts besides the turbo, manifold, piping will we need. we are doing this for fun just for a laugh so what else will we need

LastGenEK

haha this is funny!

Pull the whole turbo setup off a eclipse pretty much anyone from ~1990-~1997
the manifold is pretty close to a B and D series. injectors too, and use homedepot PVC for charge pipes lol hahaahahaha

Tippyman

That manifold is close to the F-series.

ok so will i need an oil return line or can i just run it without one what size injectors do you think i will need to achieve maybe 8 psi at max and what do i do about a wastegate

oil return lines are overated. J/k

Take a look at the FAQ's at the top of the forum page - it should anwser most of your questions.

lol that goes way to far into detail i just need to know little things like what injectors to get how am i going to regulate boost like is it going to be just a factory wastegate or simple stuff like that i am just trying to rig a half assed turbo system that will boost about 5 or 6 psi and that i wont blow my motor with

If this is your only car I would seriously change your plans, because you're just going to have fun for a day or so before you break something doing this.

even at only 5 or 6 psi? i thought stock internals were good for like 12 or so thats what i was told i was told the ls motor was real strong

Does your mother still whipe your *** for you too?

Gives you a good idea

Either go with an internally wastegated turbo and any old manifold, or use a manifold with an external wastegate port and a non-internally wastegated turbo. Pretty straightforward.

And can't be stressed enough, there's a huge difference between boosting 5/6 psi on a tiny *** turbo and 5/6 psi on a huge one. Find a power goal and then people will actually be able to help you with questions like injector size, turbo ect..

FAQ is your best friend, don't be lazy, you can figure it out yourself with ease on HT..

Have fun.

lol thanx well im looking at like some kind of small turbo off of a stock vehicle deffinatly something with a wastegate so i dont have to deal with that because like the first post said ive never turbo'd anything so i want this to be as simple as possible looking for maybe like 140 whp nothing signifigant

LMFAO.

But seriously, do yourself a favor, read the FAQ's.

1994delsolLS

ok so i pretty much got it now but as for a tune how bad would it be to run 5 or 6 psi on a small turbo without a tune for like 2 days no intercooler no bov

sleeperbb4

Sooooo many possibilities, to me that's a BIG no.
Wait those 2 days out and don't risk it.

B.

dont it and make sure you post a video..

1994delsolLS

My friends are making me look like an idiot posting on here for info but they said the hack job turbo kit is only going to be on the car for 2 days with no intentions of a tune they don't wanna waste the money for a tune so should i just not let them use my car for their amusement? and just buy a beater that we all chip in on

sleeperbb4

Haha, it's all good man.
I think it's safe to say find new friends haha.
No way in hell should you let them use your car, no intentions of tune and only on for 2 days?
I don't really see the point at all. Unless you're all just looking for something to frig around with and this car is totally expendable.. If this car means ANYTHING to you, and you don't plan on tuning it then definitily do NOT do this.

srmofo

DO IT and post some carnage pics, then all of us can get some amusement too

if your friends think this is such a good idea then let them do it to their cars

I promise you,

halfass turbo kit
+ no tune
---------------------
= disaster

whats the point of this thread? i think ur wasting our time with this bs.. if ur really wants to put something together i would suggest reading the FAQ's or even searching google for "turbo for beginners" or some shyt

HiProfile

Most Honda motors I've known that were stock ecu + "just" 5-6 psi blew up in a day or two. A kid I knew actually blew up a B18B1 WITH the intercooler, doing just 7psi w/injectors AND a basemap (aka ebay chip).

Hondas are unlike other cars that meter overall air entering the motor - w/o tuning any boost will basicly not be accounted for, no extra fuel added, and no timing pulled.


FYI turbocharging a car is just as simple as that FAQ - its NOT simple. Its not like just bolting on an intake/header/exhaust and upping the FPR until it feels good. Have fun cracking your pistons in the first hour. IIRC a week or two ago <U>some n00b blew his untuned wreck on the 2nd pull.</U>

Tippyman

Not a disaster to those who get to laugh on H-T about it!

srmofo

you blown this thing up yet? I want PICTURES DAMNIT

1994delsolLS

no we never actually got the parts yet i was told to do the research half they would put up the money but when they said they wont pay for it if it blows and stop being a puss nothing will happen i said find another car because if there not going to pay for a tune im not going to let them do it

pheurton-skeurto

you need to go drink drain-o just for considering this...

Tree_Hugger

Wow, too bad you didn't go through with this.. I need a good laugh, lol.

I think it's time to find some new friends buddy..
