hey everyone im looking at getting a turbo and wanted to know what you guys think would be the best setup to run a turbo without alot of problems....like what internals ect... would you get to help run a safer setup...would a comptech exhaust,header, hi flow cat be good to run a turbo on....its 2.25" would that be alright....thanks for the help

i know ill get flamed for wanting to run a turbo on an R but oh well thats h-t for you

 

well since no one's helping, i have a 00 R w/a drag III kit. so far all i did was just bolt the kit right in. made sure that it was detonating and set my timing to about 14 degrees. um it's running perfectly fine right now, just running kind of rich and on an open down pipe. that exhaust is pretty small so it will restrict you a bit, but it can be used. the header is worth nothing, since the exhuast manifold will replace it for the turbo. and ive been running on this setup for about a month now...no problems. just dont get too boost happy.

 

how much boost are you running?

 

Don't get me started...lol

 

come on i know there are more turbo R's out there

 

email me or hit me up on AIM or IM.

 

i have one

 

J&S with proper fuel setup will easily allow for 11-12psi with fully stock motor.

Get a big, highflow cat or ditch the whole cat idea totally.


Don't be stupid with the boost levels and put some thick oil in it, change often.
