#98996, "Getting boosted, a few questions"
Feb-03-07 08:43 AM by ivan300

          

Hey guys after a lot of reading i am finally going to get turbo'd. I have a 1999 GS with 145,xxx miles and i just did a compression test and i got 200 across the board with no deviation. You can guess how surprised i was.

I am going to buy the treadstone turbo kit. I know its not the best but it fits my budget. I'm going to exchange the normal intercooler with one that fits and looks a little better. I also have a walbro high pressure fuel pump and a Vortech FMU 12:1 on their way.

The only questions i have at the moment is what size turbo should i go with. I am planning to boost 8psi for about 6 months until i can rebuild with forged internals. The options are from 50 trim 0.48 a/r to 60 trim 0.63 a/r. I want a turbo with quick spool but i want to be able to turn up the boost later one when i rebuild. Thanks a lot

I don't remember what they use in the kit, but that one should be plenty fine for a long while. It is a Turbonetics T3 turbo I think. You can upgrade to another one when you order, but I would think the one they put in the kit already is fine.

EDIT:
BTW, you seem to know what you are doing from just reading so good job man. You have done your research and that is a tough thing to do when preparing to turbo.

hehe thanks this is a great community it seems that every question has already been answered many times.

The kit comes with a Turbonetics t3/t4 turbo and they ask you which size you want when you order.
The options are on this page http://treadstoneperformance.com/view.phtml?f_cat=Turbo+Chargers%3A+T3%2FT4
Im a little overwhelmed on this part :S

I would personally go with the 60 trim.

Awesome, good luck with the install. It's not too hard to do, just takes some time to get everything put in.

I personally suggest not exceeding 6psi with the 12:1 FMU setup right now. From my personal experience you get some pretty erratic fuel curves at those pressures (you'd basicly be maxing out the walbro's max pressure even with their high pressure model) and the stock injectors become less than reliable too.

I didnt realize that i would have problems with this flue setup. This is what most people recommend.

It's the simplest and is all that's necessary for low boost, however, it is also the least useful

If you don't want to spend $1000+ on a portfueler, or mess around with Megasquirt or a custom 8 injector setup, the choice is the Vortech SFMU. Many people have used this up to 15+ psi. You can use it with your stock injectors and with larger than stock injectors. Normally people can run up to 440's or dsm 450's (with resistor pack) without having to use a safc to control idle. It uses different discs and springs to adjust the rise rate of fuel pressure and you can change your idle/static fuel pressure based on the injectors you have. There are a few other features also. ALthough it cannot compare with a portfueler or megasquirt, it is a pretty good option for someone wanting to run lower boost without the extreme fuel pressures that come with using stock injectors and a 12:1 fmu. Of course if you keep the stock injectors in, you will still have to run the high fuel pressures regardless of whether you have a 12:1 fmu or the sfmu
