Hey whats up! I need info on a nice sized turbo for my tib, dont want it to lag much, but I want it to fly, to be able to do atleast 12 sec in the 1/4 with Nos, have upgrades such as, intercooler, CatBack Ehaust, turbo headers, need to find a nice kit tho! thanks to anyone who can help.
If you want to run 12's in the quarter mile, you will need a LOT of boost. Probably 15-20 psi. And from what I hear, nitrous and boost is not a good idea because of the increased chance of detonation. You will need more than a kit (forged low compression turbo pistons, forged connecting rods, etc.). But if you want to look at some kits, the only places I know of to find them are in the HP store (Alpine sucks from what I hear on the forums)and at Speed-Factor.com. You might want to consider making your own system if you are looking to have the "Perfect" setup depending on your running conditions. Good luck.
I am really looking into gettting the extreme turbo, if I got upgraded cams, 3'' exhaust, turbo headers, would I be able to run this kit with the zex wet system?
do more research on ur extreme turbo kit. everybody's telling you that what you want is next to impossible. zex isn't nearly as good as nx, turbo headers??upgraded cams??ill tell you what everyone on this site told me read maximum boost, learn before you waste money and blow up your engine
Maximum Boost is a very good book and it taught me a ton of information. The next book I plan to read is "How To Tune And Modify Engine Management Systems" I only skimmed through it but it seemed to have a wealth of information from nitrous to turbo and everything inbetween. It also contains a decent amount of info on tuning with laptops and other types of equipment. You should also plan to purchase a laptop and air/fuel gauge (plx gauges look nice, check out plxdevices.com), as well as some type of fuel controller SAFC II, SMT-6, E-Manage, RRFPR, etc, etc. And you might need like an MSD distributorless ignition controller to retart timing under boost to avoid detonation-depending on the boost levels you plan to run. The level of boost necessary to get into the 12's is high enough, and when you add the nitrous, it would definately be a good investment to get the MSD, or some other form of ignition control to avoid engine-killing detonation. If I were you, (and I am trying to do the same thing as you, without nitrous-I want to run 20psi) I would get everything I listed not only to help you tune your car, but to keep an eye on how it is running. Good luck with the system.:
