Well, in my continued search for power without spending a TON of money, I've decided to try turbo, once again, since I'm a little over the nitrous stuff. My friends and I were talking about the small amount of parts we could have to run a turbo. We don't know TOO much, so don't laugh. My question is, is it possible to run a turbo at VERY low PSI with just the Exhaust Manifold and the Turbine? My guess at first was definently not, since the high heat and stuff, but what are the bare-minimums to have when running very low boost, and I mean, low low low, because I don't have a big budget. I'm going to sell the Nitrous (hint hint) and just go plain out turbo. I'm looking for deals all the time, but just knowing what I REALLY need just to get going in the first place is what I'm after, then when I decide to go higher boost, I'll get the more necessary stuff.

So yea, what do I need to run LOW boost (besides manifold, turbine and intercooler)

-- when I say low, i mean just low enough to ride around and say "look, i have turbo." but still be able to drive around without frying the engine. --:rambo:

(2001 Tiburon, automatic, CAI, 2.25" cat, muffler, 55 Zex)

(17.104 1/4 time -without nitrous-... shootin for 13-14's, 200whp, whatever comes first)

You ran a 17 with nitrous?:??: I think hte first thing we need to work on is the driver.

You NEED these parts:
Manifold
Turbo
Turbo-back exhuast
Intercooler
Intake piping
Blow Off Valve
Peformance clutch (if you had a 5psd)
All associated gaskets, fittings, lines, etc

You will also NEED fuel and spark management, using something like larger injectors, an fuel computer like the SAFC, Perfect Power SMT6, HKS AFC, etc, and a way to retard your ignition, like the MSD DIS-2.

Now what you buy and where you get it will determine how much everything costs. One word of advice: DONT skimp on the manifold, turbo or the fuel/spark management. Thats the stuff that'll make the car not run anymore when it breaks.

Now that I know about first hand. If you get a used turbo, please make sure that you have it rebuilt before you install it!!!! Nothing in this world looks worse than a nice looking car with arsche loads of blue smoke coming out of the exhaust. You will turn the car into a high dollar bug fogger very quickly!!!!!

If your runing below 7psi, then you can probably get away with not having an IC or BOV, but most internally wastegated turbos won't allow you to run lower than that.

 

[Clean2k1Shark]

haha, no no no, I didn't run 17's with nitrous. I haven't ran with the nitrous at all.

[body]Turbo-back exhuast[/body]

When you say that, what do you mean? An exhaust ,period, or some type of special thing.

Is it recommeneded to get all of those parts all at once, then install? I'm guessing yes since that was the point of the post....

Thanks for all answers so far.

 

[JonGTR]

A full custom exhaust from the turbo. Piping, cat, and muffler.

 

[skierd]

JonGTR- Tibs have what, 10.5:1 compression from the factory? You NEED the intercooler to boost safely. Also, even at 7psi I recommend getting a BOV, no need adding stress to the turbo thats not needed, esp on a junkyard special turbo.

Clean2k1Shark- YES you need to install all of those parts at the same time. Do you even really know what you are getting into? You cant just slap a turbo on an engine and go WEEEE I"M TURBO WEEEEE without blowing **** up. Take the time to LEARN by:
1) Buying and reading this book: Maximum Boost, By Corky Bell
2) Searching this forum, and the internet, for all the turbo related information you can find.

 

[Clean2k1Shark]

Well, I kinda figured that you needed a heck of a lot of stuff. I just want to be able to have correct answers when my friends say "why cant you just run with a manifold and a turbine".

 

[skierd]

Umm... use common sense.:hmmm: You cant just run with a manifold and turbine because you dont have any way to get the compressed air to the throttle body. You'll still be naturally aspirated, but now you'll have a spinning muffler where your 1st cat used to be.

This is why I'm telling you that you NEED TO LEARN about what goes into a turbo setup and what everything does. Understand the system and you'll understand the parts.

yo steve,
i have that book if you want to buy it. i have read it front to back, side to side and inside out. it is by far the best learning tool you can buy. i got it for 30 bucks at the book store, i will hook you up for 20 bucks plus shipping....hehe, well that would be 1/4 tank of gas from here.. j/k
... nah but if you want it i will hook you up with it.

like these guys are saying, in order to run the turbo on the car you will need those important things. i am running on the stock clutch at 7psi and i am burning right through it.

as for compression ratio, we checked mine prior to install and it was 10 to 1.

sounds good brian

we'll get together one day and get some vid's of you whoopin arse

Hahaha. That's gatta be the funniest damn thing I've seen in a LONG time!

You dont need that hyundai anymore

 

[95accent]

i got a diagram of a turbo system if anyone wants it email me cause i cant figure out how to insert pics on this dang site.

 

[hyundailove]

Is it possible to do a BETA II swap in a 95'Accent and fit a turbo in there too? If so what turbo should I [email protected]

I talked to the guy at K-spec and the Garrett/Spinwheels bolt on kit they have will work nicely, I know that with the returnless fuel system in my 02 ELantra. The thing I wondered about was a new ignition system, I guess its a must have

 

[HaMmErD]

i was recently thinking of turbo charging my 2000 Lantra (2.0l twin cam) im still thinking if its worth it cause i have yet to see one on the streets

i was about to put a performance chip in it but thoguht it wouldn't be worth it if i was thinking of turbo charging it :ermm:

 

[SkizziK03elan]

the fact that you havent seen one on the streets is exactly why its worth it :evil::evil::evil:

those bang-stangs won't know what to exspect:
