Hey guys finally feel like i am make a progress on my 2.5 month turbo install.. I have been really busy with some engineering class at college and then work is trying to work me like a borrowed mule but check what i have got done and tell me what you think.

Here is the car last year, 1 yr after owning it


engine build


my twwwurbo


I painted my valve cover the same color as my new engine bay color


Engine Bay




thanks,
Thomas

 

Good work so far

What's the rest of your setup?

 

Setup
Custom log mani
garrett airreseach t3 .63ar .58 trim turbo
intercooler (fmic) and piping
turbo xs-h-rfl bov
tial 38mm wastegate
voodoo boost controller
walbro 255lph
dsm 450cc injectors
hondata s200 with chipped p75
exedy stage 1
head work:
...valve job-3 angle, resurfaced, valve guides.


not upgrades, but new
head gasket
valve cover set
intake mani set
oil pan
timing belt
water pump

there is proably tons of stuff i have left off.....boost is not cheap at all and I will vouch for that anyday. It seems like i just continue to spend spend spend

 

Wow, it sounds like you're going to have a really good setup....and it's an F22

So many people try to cheap out on their turbo setups just so they can say "my car is turboed hooray for me".

why cheap out on the turbo when you can just go cheap with the motor haha


whats your HP goals???

 

F22a1

 

Sweet another turbo f22!! Looking very good, can't wait to see it all done.

Are you still going to retain AC and power steering?

 

um....on the horsepower gains, i dont really want to say anything that sounds crazy or stupid. But when I first started I was looking for the 200 mark, but the more I have researched there are people make more with the dsm setup with less mods and cheap setups. I will be satisfied for anything above 200, but looking for the 230-250 mark...
It is a general consensus that the f22a1 will make handle boost great, and there are many people that drive around boosting 10psi all day long for years. Quite a bit of these are running the dsm setup. Im not going to solely base it off of a psi number b/c every turbo displaces differnt at psi numbers. I have a rather big t3 so my lag will be a little longer, but hoping to be under full boost at 3600-3900rpm... The dsm brings it in a little sooner thus running out of air in the upper in.

Really in all honesty it is the torque gains that I am looking for. I do not have any numbers, but Im expected a very wild torque band. I have spent some time on the phone with a respected tuner and he says he has tuned 2 f22s. One of those being boosted and the other was a na setup....He said that the torque gains was phenomial. Anyways Im getting kinda close to finishing, and Im sure I will find something else to ask everyone before the big tune day, if not numbers will be posted :D......

Oh yeah, the color I chose to paint the bay *which will also be the color of the exterior when i get a chance to paint it*... It is called Intense Blue it came of a dodge vehicle and only one of dodges carries it from the tag which leads me to believe it is dodge viper blue....Very pretty color with blue pearl and some metallic in it.

 

Do it right and do it once

 

Oh, forgot abou the ac.
I will be keeping ps but the ac is gone. The day I bought the car the ac slung a bearing through the casing and then I bought another one this sumer and it worked great for 2.5 days. I was driving in town it blew the front gasket by the clutch on it and let out all the freon and oil...I drove to montgomery and it locked up halfway and caused the belt to stop on the pulley so I lost my alternator with it. It caused me to be stranded on the side of I-85 for 2 hours. Instead of worrying with it again I pulled everything off. I took my lines, brackets, condensor, and air cooler off....weight reduction right

 

i know some one with an f22a1 on there lude and they had 270 hp.

 

The torque my turbo f22 put down surprised me a little bit. I put down 183whp and 203wtq, at about 6psi, on a stock motor with a t3/t4 turbonetics kit with stock injectors and stock exhaust at the time with no real tune.

With the slight motor work you did and bigger injectors and hondata you should be able to get more than 200whp pretty easily. I recently got a new exhaust and have new injectors on the way. Hopefully soon I can find get Hondata and get a real tune on it. My goal after I'm done with those few goodies are around 230whp. But time shall tell shortly.

Can't wait to see what yours puts down.
