wondering what T3/4 turbo people recommended for '99 JDM ITR;
and what additional upgrades to get most out of the turbo?

Peace.

 

Didnt your first thread already get deleted? Do a search man or look through the FI forum. The answers are waiting to be found

 

People are having good results with the new Search kit.

 

Hybrid CTR needs to go to town on your title!!!!!!!!

 

Why, it's "in the ballpark". hehe

 

sorry guys! i'll do search - new to this board.

Too late for that, though there's no need to since you might still get some good info.
JDM ITR, with the 11:1 compression?
The Drag III kit comes with a T3/T4 turbo and might not be a bad kit to start with.
With such high compression already you shouldn't be running more than about 5 psi, but even with so "little" boost I'm sure it would be "effective".

Boost can be expensive .... in more ways than one. Ed

 

twin t66's

 

Actually I went with an inline pro manifold on a sleeved block with a T3/T4 60-1.

the drag kit isn't that bad is it?
unless u want some custom all out *** kicker

 

yes 11:1 ratio
only reason I asked is most of the kits I saw were for GSR and such;
not type R

I'll definately do a better search before I post a question next time..
sorry to waste your guys time.

 

No, not really a waste of time.
Just really depends on what you're prepared to spend, just a warning.

I'd think maybe some cams might be better suited for your higher compression motor, header, exhaust and intake (which is what I might have done if I had another chance). Ed

Hey, after all ... I'm originally from Y-Town.

 

really from Youngstown?? Wow - haven't met any car people here in Cleveland;
cannot even find a decent mechanic..

I have AEM cold air intake; DC sports (JDM) headers; custom stainless steal exhaust with highflow catco cat and dual magnaflow exhaust

figured I'd add a turbo or jrsc in the spring. Car is used for daily driving
and street..only hit the track a few times. From what I read turbo sounded
like what I needed for the street purpose; figured I'd get a decent size turbo;
my uncles a mechanic so he coudl help me with the labor..so I figured I'd dump
about 3-4k ..closer to 3..

any suggestions for this car would be apperciated
I swaped a JDM type r engine into my 2000 GSR (4dr) which I hydrolocked.

Maybe this fourm can help me design my car

 

I've dumped about 10K into my motor and tranny, and I still have some (several) issues with it.

Being totally honest, 3-4K is just barely enough to buy a new Drag III kit.
hehe ... a "dual" exhaust, I'm using a 3" R&D exaust with my setup.

You'd be much better off for that money to get an SMSP header, and maybe a set of Toda B's, along with a AEM FPR, VAFC and some cam tuning (probably cam gears as well).

Really, all a turbo will get you is headaches, and emply wallet and even then ... loads of useless wheelspin.
That's way too much money to spend for just the sound of a BOV.

 

I've heard of people running as high as 12 psi on stock ITR motors (of course with very good engine management and tuning). Something to this nature is in my plans for the spring unless someone can convince me that ITB's would be a better way to go. Speaking of which...

 

i went with 2.5'' from the header back; figured since the header would
be the bottle neck; going bigger wouldn't be better.
did dual just for looks.

Hum, can you find info on setups like this? If its stock block, internals, head etc.... I want to know what was done to make the engine survive that much boost.

Most likely a 3mm headgasket and head studs. This drops the compression significantly so that the motor can handle more boost.

Do you have an aftermarket bumper to fit the dual exhaust? In all honesty the 2.5" dual is gonna hurt you when/if you go turbo. You want a free flowing exhaust. Fast in Fast out with turbo.

 

headgasket is cheating

 

drop that compression.....and the turbo is relative to your hp goals. you can ask Arturbo for you turbo questions.....he's definately the man to ask about the precision lineup the sc34-sc61
Throw these away(AEM cold air intake; DC sports (JDM) headers)
pick a good EMS and larger injectors and your set.
Think more like 4K when your almost done......
Intercooler + Turbo + Intercooler Piping + EMS + Injectors + Wastegate + BOV + Downpipe + Clamps + Bolts + Washers + Gauges ..... Turbo is not for the people with short pockets.....and Tuning will cost you more!

 

forget turbo !

From what I understand, you would use a box stock b18c5, but you would have to tune the living hell out of it. A lot of people overlook the fact that with high compression, you usually have the ability to achieve more complete combustion. Also, the ITR motor uses pistons that have been coated for increased durability. Assuming perfect tuning, 12 psi is perfectly possible on a bone stock motor, but only with perfect tuning.

 

No such thing as perfect tuning but yes you are correct, it is all relative to cylinder pressure, and if you can cut that down by taking out timing then 12psi is very feasable.

Maybe not perfect tuning, but pretty damn close.

Man..I just paid good money for that setup..that sucks.
Yea I have a bomex kit - room for dual in the back.
So you would have done 3'' straight back including cat? Stupid guy at shop
told me that I would lose "back pressure" and would hurt me..but I didn't
tell him I wanted turbo in the future..

wait so I should go turbo after I drop compression..or not?
