ok i just scored a turbo kit for 500 bux, turbonetics t3/t4, the blow off valve is turbo xs and the wastegate is greddy, intercooler, etc. just need injectors/fuel pump. is this setup too much for a stock b16a2? (i wanna run about 10-15 psi) if it is too much what else do i need? i have a 10k budget but i have to do body and interior too.(daily driven) thanx guys

 

you can do 10 psi on stock internals but u need a REALLY good tune to keepur engine safe andreliable.alsour gonna need to get ur computer chipped. i wish i had 10K to spend on parts etc

 

yeah im about to get my sign on bonus from the army, i get another 10k in 3 yrs too, so itll be fun

 

Damn I am going to go join the Army now.

 

to not blow your engine up, i would only run 8 psi for now until you get your engine built. you will need a chipped ecu and not a fmu. also make sure you have a dump tube for the wastegate made and the downpipe made.

 

yeah, i decided 8 psi on a t3/t4 turbonetics turbo, but a good friend that builds turbo cars a bit reccomends a 10:1 fmu for my setup, whats your experience with this?

 

Your friend shouldn't be building turbo cars. FMU FTL

Get a chipped ecu and run Neptune or Crome, have a basemap put on the chip, then take your car to someone who knows how to tune whichever program you intend to run.

 

thanx for the help

 

my experience with fmu's is seeing my friends at 8 psi blowing parts right and left up off their cars. do it the right way. you can get a chipped ecu for 120, then go to a place that tunes like forty04 said. also look at dsm 450 injectors if you want something cheap.

 

i want cheap but i also want quality if that makes sense, so if thats the best bang for the buck then ill do that
