Im about to drop in a turbo, but I want to know if its safe or even viable to install a turbo on my stock LS, by install i mean,

turbo + BOV + and intercooler+MAP bypass

stock injectors
stock fuel rail
stock FPR
stock fuel pump.

If i just drop in the turbo, and remember NO TUNING, just drop the turbo in, it will still be a safe DD car right?

 

no

 

ummm thx

someone with info help me please

 

Your car will be just as safe. A turbo doesnt take away from your structural integrity.

 

....... hahah yes i know my chasis will be fine

im just talking bout engine wise. its prolly gonna run bout 7lbs of boost no more

 

It's not going to last at 7lbs with no tuning.

 

turbo + no tuning = absolutely not safe for DD. Sounds like you shouldn't even be thinking about boosting if you want to cut corners like that.

 

I say go for it

Only things that could go wrong:
Blown engine
Blown Turbo

 

wont last long. Why would you even want to do this?

 

I don't understand why so many people want to go turbo when they don't have the money to do it right or they're just too lazy to do it right. Stick to bolt - ons.

 

at least get an 12:1 fmu and don't run more than 6 psi

 

$80 for DSM 450 injectors and chip your ecu for $60 and you'll be good. Thats not too much more money....

there ya go do it like the domestics do it

to OP: 4-8psi is probably gonna be the safest limit without tuning BUT like everyone said your motor isnt gonna last long. you need to upgrade plugs do a little timing changes and atleast 370cc to 450cc injectors and maybe a few other things

 

Nah man the safest psi that u can run and its been proven is 13 trust me NOTHING will happen.

 

Are you serious right now? This has to be one of the stupidest threads i've seen on HT in a while....

Go ahead and just "drop 'er in" because that's how it works...just set it in the engine bay and it'll magically work and your engine will be fine. You need a hell of a lot more parts than just the turbo, bov and intercooler....not sure if you were aware of that or not.

I think its time for you to stop what you're attempting to do and research a little bit. You NEED tuning and you NEED a lot more parts than what you have listed....

Then get it tuned.

They come with the "e-manage" or "blue box" which is just a pretuned program for a specific engine, which most have found isn't really all that good.

 

SAve some $$$$ and get some 450cc injectors + a chipped ECU and drive ur car (while staying out of boost) to a tuner ...then u should be fine

 

better yet just "slap it on" and buy a "blue box" run rich as hell and call it a day!

Lol, I hope your not assuming I use it or recommend it

 

i say go for it and while ur putting it together. open a savings account so a week after u get it running u wnt have to start from 0 dollars for a new motor

 

not making any kinda of statement towards the OP, but i've seen alota people throw on a turbo kit for the sound...
