Due to high volume of question that I get on my e-mail regrarding my turbo setup, I decided to write this so
every time I don't have to answer the mail every time.
It is sort of FAQ that I get all the time, so I wrote all the answers down.
1. What parts did you use for the turbo?????
here is my complete turbo system:
Turbo: TDO5 - small 16g
2g eclipse gst exhaust manifold
Custom made adapter
Wastgate: Tial 35mm (previous was running Turbonetics Delta Mark II )External
Intercooler: Spearco Core Front Mount (don't know the part #) 2.25" and 2.5" pipng neck output Air/Air with Stairon End Tanks on
Custom 2.5" exhaust - fabricated at local
Apex'i Twin Chamber Blow Off Valve
Transmission Cooler
Clams, Oil Lines by Turbonetcis
Pipes are madrel bend, cutom made painted black
4" Mitsubishi air filter adapter (aluminum)
OBX 4" air filter
K&N Breather filter
Fuel Control:
460 cc High Impidia Denso Fuel Injectors
Walbro 255 fuel pump
Apex'i Super Air Flow Converter
Fuel Pressure Regulator (Vortech 12:1 FMU)
Gauges:
Autometer Pro Comp Boost Gauge
Autometer Pro Comp EGT Gauge
Engine Internals:
JE custom made low compression turbo pistons
JE rings
Stock Mitsubishi Head Gasket
Spark Plugs:
NGK BKR7E
Other parts:
Greaddy/Trust Manual Boost controler
Greaddy Turbo Timer
2. What Oil do you use?
Engine is Running on Mobil 1 Fully Synthetic Oil 15w-50
with High Effeciancy Mobil 1 Oil Filter
91 Octane Gasoline
3. How much did ot cost you with the insallation?
I got the deal on the install, so i got the deal on the setup.But then i had to buy pistons, rings,injectors, SaFC,
and some other stuff that run me a big chunk of money. So overall I spended about 6K on the setup with the install.
4. Who install your turbo setup?
Tony from Final Stage Motorsports in Las Vegas did all the work. He designed the setup.
5.Is the performance of your turbo the same as the ones that Doug and Rippmods make???
My turbo kit is better than any of the vendors that are selling it. First off all I have the Front Mount Intercooler (which I wanted bad).
The price of the purchuesd set with FMI is outrages. Second of all I have the extrnal wastgate. It is not easy to fit, that is why turbo kits purchused
from the vendors have some difficulties, and often they run problems with the installation.
Third of all, I saved a lot of money on the installation. Usually when u buy a turbo kit from the website and then u try to find a place to install it -
people that are going to put it on are going to charge u a hgood chunk of money - and what if something is missing, or something doesn't work
all right?
Also the other reason why I went with the custom setup is that I chosed whatever I wanted. I decided what turbo I wnat, what intercoolrer I wanna run,
what gauges I want, what OV i wanna see and hear, etc..Of course those decision were discussed with proffesional - who is your advisor.He
gave me a choice and advice.
This topic is it sort of like buying a computer from the store vs. buliding it yorself. Do u now what I mean???
6. How fast is your car, what is quarter mile, how many pounds of boost are u running?
The car is spooling nice, I am running 4.5 psi right now, but once the dual boost controler will be installed I will boost it more.
Don't know what the qurter mile is right now, I am going even with 97 Eagle Talon turbo 5 sp. with some mods, but stock turbo and intercooler.
The car is really fast when it is acctually rolling. I am sort of disapointed of the response from the stop - due to our automatic transmissions.
My first ever dyno only shown 140 whp and 160 ft/lb of torque - due to the lean condition. Injectors were changed and second dyno test after tuning at 4.5psi was 181 WHP and 166 ft/lb of torque.
Not bad for only 4.5 psi of boost.
7. What is the air to fuel ratio I should be running on the turboed 4g64?
It should be in low 12s , like 12.1:1 air to fuel ratio to be on the safe side so u don't blow anything. Use wideband oxygen sensors - they are expansive but real, accurate and precised tuning devices.
Take care.
