Too close to turbo again. Check me out

[japakos]

Turbo (GT28R) and manifold (OBX) bolted together. Oil feed and return lines are on. 440cc Lucas Injectors. Wiring harness "borrowed" from an old hyundai
Still waiting for a kspec decompr. plate , the AEM fic , an ebay I/C piping kit and my jpipe to arrive and I'm turbo again! Pauter and wiseco combo after summertime - no money -

Enjoy

Turbo and manifold






Injectors and harness


I/C



So, how much boost should I run and how much hp should I expect. The exhaust will be strictly 2.5" for economical reasons, the I/C piping is 2.25"
So ppl, shoot! Hope you like it.

I think its all crap crap crap and you should just sell it to me for a wooden nickle! J/K, I too hope to be running a little suprise under the hood of my Accent GSi very soon!

Well,

It all depends... How are you going to route the pipes in your I/C? Are you going to keep the 2.5 or upgrade to the 3" with the 3" downpipe? Cats or Cat delete? With the GT28 you can easily hit 250whp at around 10 psi and still keep your ride pretty reliable. Have you thought of adding an extra external oil cooler?

I don't see a wastegate installed... Unless Im' missing something...

I'm going to route the I/C piping all around as it is a F.I/C
The wastegate is off the turbo needs some custom bracket which I'm working on. The 2.5" stays for now till the pauter/wiseco combo comes. Look, if I can make 250whp reliable without any mods to the internals except the decompr. plate, then I'll leave it alone but I doubt that it can hold this kind of power...
Oil cooler is in the plans for later on..

you do have the beta tranny right??..if not..you'll be doing roasty one wheel burnout's all the time.

i also recommend you go to 16's, heavy ass 17 inch wheels and turbo power are recipe's for snapped axles.

[japakos]

Hehe, nope I don't have the beta tranny and I can't swap to 16" because my brakes can only fit the 17s"!!!

some suggestions:

- i have a 3" exhaust (with a big resonator and a big muffler) and it's pretty loud. it's ok when driving by myself, but if you drive regularly with a passenger/wife/girlfriend i'd suggest a 2.5" exhaust. if i was starting over, i'd instal a 2.5" exhaust as the best compromise of performance and practicality.

- years ago, i remember Autobot complaining about bad torque steer with his beta swap accent. so i installed a phantom grip lsd, and never had any torque steer, or one wheel burn outs, even at 250 whp. maybe quaffe is better, but i've been happy with the phantom grip.

edit: i also remember reading on hyundaiaftermarket that the phantom grip is an insert into the (weak) OEM hyundai differential, but the quaffe is a whole new (strong) aftermarket differential. so if the phantom grip grenades, the problem is the weak OEM differential, not the phantom grip insert.

Well...

I had a 3" exhaust on my DSM and so do alot of the guys here... the 3" is great and quiet as long as you remember to install the silencer. It'll rumble low and it'll give you great mid to high end power but strip you a little of your low end torque, but that happens with turbos. The 3" downpipe and full 3" exhaust will let you easily tune in 30hp depending on your setup.

About the I/C piping, are you going to short route or long route the piping? I didn't mean to sound like a F/I noob. Short route piping is nice, and the turbo lag isnt as noticable... buuuuutttt, you'll have to drive like a pansy around places w/potholes and speed bumps, because you can bend your piping pretty bad if you hit them. It also doesn't look as nice as the long route piping...

What kind of wastegate are you installing? It's crazy how many people have turbo problems just because of their wastegate.
