Turbo

Lucky110 · 01-14-2006, 12:35 AM

Just wondering, ive been looking up some turbos and stuff, just to get an idea of the possible upgrades i can do, and what do you guys think about turboing your toaster? Is it worth it, if you go ahead and work out the kinks? In other words, if the turbo runs good, what can you expect for the power gain?

if you are willing to run it regularly at the track it might be worth it.

I guess they are giving somewhere around 35-55hp, S/C.
Not sure on the turbo's.

Not much hp for 3-4 grand. then you have to screw around with regularly.

I've thought about it, ecspecially when someone pulls up to me and wants to mess around. Then BAM, suprise!

Someone Correct me, I haven't done alot of homework on the subject. Just a little.

Here are some pics of the turbo kit I made for my Xbox. The kit made about 50HP at 5 PSI. Check it out, and tell me what you guys think.

Looks like quite the "sleeper" with the bumper on.

What's the driveability like? Track only, or double duty?

I am guessing the video is NON-TURBO vs. TURBO?

Hows turbo working with a 10.5:1 compression engine? Seems like it'd be drowning in fuel to hold off detonation.

psi · 01-16-2006, 02:36 PM

Hey Guys, to be honest with you, it is a lot of fun to drive, everyone knows how slow the little box is, Its actually my daily driver, since its been turbo ive put about 10,000 miles on it, with no problems, the only problem was the clutch slipping(stock one), the kit runs 5 psi so with that low boost we didnt have to add a ton of fuel to kill the driveabilit. Im working on a return set up now to try and bring up the boost to about 8 psi. I will be at the Scion meet this weekend in Miami if any one wants to see it in person or has any questions.

Thanks,
Brendan

I know the TRD-Japan turbo set-up won;t won't work because the ECUs aren't compatible. But, I do know that TRD-USA did fab up one set-up w / an intercooler. Not much is known about the set-up, but it was out there, and has since been removed.

Thats doody fresh

PSI, yours looks really nice and clean as opposed to mine.

But I'm not much into showing my car at this point...so I guess I can slowly work out the looks...I just want to get the functionality at 100%...I'm kinda at 90%.

www.upgrademotoring.com has the greddy turbo for $1950. With 6 pounds I've heard real numbers in the 20's. Drop the compression and o-ring the motor for higher boost.

I read on the psiracing site that the turbo you are using is a Garrett t3? Ok, i have a chance to trade an old grand am with an engine knock for a Garrett gt 35...he says its a t3, but i can't get to the Garrett website to check it out.

I have had one person tell me that this turbo is too big, any help you can offer?

psi · 04-17-2006, 11:35 AM

Hey Thanks for the inquiry, the gt35 will be to big, is it a gt35r, if so im sure its worth some money, and you can get the turbo you can use. The turbo im using is a standard T3 turbine wheel, Stage 1 with .36 turbine housing, basically the smallest T3 wheel to get the boost up quick, let me know if you do wanna go with a t3 and I will help you size it up.

Thanks,
Brendan

I sold my turbo box back in October, but if you have any questions about the return line setup feel free to hit me up.
