anything is gonna cost $$ so best thing to do is think about your goals. do you want an all out track car, dyno queen, or a decently powered daily driver?

if i was gonna build a cheap turbo daily driver i would turbo a d-series. parts are cheap, motor is cheap if u blow it, and if u keep the boost pressure resonable it is pretty reliable on stock internals.

 

Yes, x2 what ^ said, hell look at my video in my signature....thats BONE STOCK d16z6....except ALL the fuel mods, and engine managment. thats pretty fuckin quick if you ask me.and i didnt even dyno it. But thats why it only lasted 10months, and now has a hole in the piston...new setup should be complete by friday.

 

why does everyone just say you can run "X" much boost... it's not all about psi as it is cfm. Imo, dont waste anymore money in the esi, but then again, if you feel you have some emotional attachment to it.... good luck.

 

who said X ammount of boost meant anything???HP is the limiting thing. like i said...I told him on a smaller sized turbo, 6psi wont hurt shit....smaller turbo = less air (cfm). Thats why I said my t3/t04e 57ttrim was a lil bigger. i wouldnt run that turbo on stock fuel.. But a small lil T3 i would.

 

see

 

ya i got a garrett t3 right now, not to big but should do the trick i think

 

Lol. Judging by the way you sound you probably aren't going to get tuned, blow that motor and be pissed off. AND you are going to spend all that money and be slower than a stock GST.


Do yourself a favor, sell that car and get a gst or gsx.

 

ya, getting it tuned by that you mean take it in and getting it dynoed and shit right

 

Not just getting it dynoed.

You have to get someone to tune it.

 

oh, okay i got it, what i would really like is a 2nd gen gsx or tsi awd
