Not enoge info man? What kind and size turbo are you running? Is your settup air to watter or air to air? What type of management are you useing? What else do you have done to your car as in the engine? Let us know and then we can help you

 

search feature.

Everyone asks this question.

your answer is out there.

 

well it would be a air to air intercooler... the management system i would use is called uberdata and i would be using a t3/t4 turbo.. and my motor is just about stock well it all is stock i have a msd pro distrubtor cab and a external coil.. that is all can u help me know????

 

Search for the forced iductio faq to learn lots and lots of good info. I'm learning about doin a turbo setup myself and have learned so much from just searching.
And from what I've seen, pple arent going over 10 lbs.

I hate people like you!

Everyone says use the search! I bet half of your posts are from telling people to use the search.

To dc2gsr96,

We need to know if your engine is bone stock, what turbo you plan on running, EMS, ect... More Info would help you a ton.

 

How about the real answer? No one, I don't care how knowledgeable you are, can answer what a safe boost level on your car is. Especially with the lack of information that was given to us. We don't know what kind of shape your engine is in internally. A compression or leakdown test won't tell us if you have a bearing on it's way out or rod bolts that are stretched like crazy. This motor has over 100,000 miles on it. It could see the slightest bit of detonation and drop a ring land. Ther are many variables to consider when just throwing a turbo on a high mileage motor.
And t3/t4 doesn't say a whole bunch either. Is it s .50 trim? How about a 60-1? But let's assume your motor is in perfect shape. And this is something like a drag turbo kit. I would recommend sticking with the way they set them up which is about 6-8psi usually.
I vote, just put the damned turbo on, tune it and find out if it lasts

 

We need to know if your engine is bone stock, what turbo you plan on running, EMS, ect... More Info would help you a ton... well these are some of the questions that i need help on i have never put a turbo on a car .... as far as engine goes it is bone stock i have never done anything to it.... im not sure wat turbo i will run any good ideas on one that i can drive on every day... as far as ems idk yet i have just start to get into this hole looking for what parts i need. and another question i have a friend that makes turbo kits he said one for me would be 3000 done a ready to go with everything like exhaust ect everything u need not sure what company he gets all the stuff from but is that a bad deal??

 

Your 19 years old right? Do you have a steady job that makes good money? Is this car going to be your daily driver? Do you plan on drag racing it, auto x'ing, road courses....HPDE's?

I don't think you financially know what your getting into. From your posts it really doesn't sound like you know what your doing. I'm not trying to discourage you, I'm simply telling you.

Do make a properly turbo charged car it takes a lot more money than you think, and the maintenance can be very very high if something goes. Are you prepared for that?

In all honesty maybe it would be best if you start researching what it is you intend to do and look at your finances before you do something rash. Good luck!

 

i would just crank it up to 40 pounds and see how that works for ya

 

Your engine doesn't care how much boost you run. How much power it generates is the deciding factor. People are doing 3-350whp on stock GSR block/heads with the enough fuel and A GOOD TUNE. I ran around on 320whp in my stock LS for years.

 

ya i am 19 well im making ok money now but here in a month or 2 i plan on getting another job so i should have money to spare..the car would be my daily driver but i would prolly take it to the drag strip everyonce in awhile... i mean your right i really dont know what im doing now thats why i left a post up trying to get some ideas or things that would help me out when i get enough money to do this b/c i want to do it right so it lasts...

I've been pampered by Team-integra. Every time i had a question that had been previously answered, i was told to search. So i searched, and it was much more beneficial then just taking opinionated answers from lots of people.
When i say search, i mean for him to get the best possible answer, on his own accord. We're not supposed to be here to spoon feed people.

Man is that true, iam in the military which is as steady a job as you can get. I started boosting with little knowledge on anything and it turned into a mess. Even a very well put together and tuned set-up will consistenly cost you money and something is always gonna go wrong. well maybe not always but with my luck it will.

 

But as far as how much you can boost. Stay with a nice 6psi and dont buy a damn boost controller. I dont care how much discipline you think you have, you will turn it up "just to see how 9psi feels", then 12, then 15 lol. But keep it at a nice low 6 and spend cash on tuning, tuning and more tuning. as long as it is propery tuned you can run more than 6. but to be safe you can save for some forged internals.

haha for realz... a stock greddy turbo kit is what the original poster should get. that and some researching skillz. remember that HT is all about opinoins. who goes here to get real technical knowledge.

 

damn u guys are all ****** wack

 

i planned i searching about it.. but i figured i would ask a few questions before i started .. i never asked anyone to spoon feed me..

Good, because we aren't going to.

You have your members that will tell you to search, and searching in this case would be the best possible answer, but a better idea would be taking this whole post to the Forced Induction area and give them actual info on your engine, then they will most likely help you out.
