Well because I figured turbo DSM guys know what they are talking about, and this is one of the biggest recources for that. I also figured most would be willing to share the information (maybe you're the exception) but the several other questions I have asked on here have been met with...
My TiAL came in the mail today, however, it only came with one flange. Since I can't mount it right on the o2 housing like you guys can, I have to have a pipe and a flange welded onto my up pipe and mount it there.The only way I can get this thing on soon, is to use the flange it came...
Looking for a clip of a stock 1G BOV without the recirculation attached. Thats what I have and will be using on my custom setup.Thanks, SamI know the DSMs run like crap without the recirc. hooked up, but if anyone has this it would be great for me.
Well I will be using it on a car not tuned from factory for the turbo- and am running it without the recirculation (just for now, to make it easier, project took forever), and haven't had any problems like that. I hadn't thought about it being a tuning issue, so I was curious.Firebird Turbo
Just curious why would not hooking up the recirculation on the stock BOV make the car stumble?edit: duh nevermind, cause there'd be an open hole where the recirc. is supposed to hook up.
You can do a lot to any car, to make it fast.You can do a lot to a Neon (not talking about the new srt-4) ....and at the end of the day it's still a Neon.
Stock tuning handles 8-9 psi safely, with tuning good for 10-11 psi. You can upgrade to Grand Prix GTP pistons and then your good for 13 psi or so. I estimate 37-380 horses at 10 psi of intercooled and tuned boost.Sam
That's basically what I'm going for I suppose.Here's a couple of the turbo fbody v6 guys..Boosted 3.4L of hellfirst turboed 3.8 (had to remove ac)The turbo 3.4 guy ran a 13.5 w/ a 2.4 60 ft at 80% throttle because he was detonating, on 10 psi. That's pretty damn impressive as...
I'm just worried about starving the turbos. If I don't have to buy an expensive pump that'd be GREAT! They will only have about a foot or a foot and a half of line to travel to return to the oil pan. If you think that's doable just from the pressure from the center section, even better...
Just to give you an idea of what I'm doing...Mounting to DSM takeoff T25's and running off each bank of cylinders on my 3.8 V6 Fbody.As you can see from the first picture the turbos are mounted on each side of the oil pan, as I did not have room to plumb and mount them...
Off the car, preferably with the o2 housing and downpipe connected. It'd greatly aid in what I'm trying to do.Or if you have a pic of the stock, or even aftermarket downpipe that'd be great as well. Sorry, if this seems like an odd request but what better place to look?Sam...
I was just seeing if it any knows for a fact whether it's a legit product or not, not just hypothetical answers. Is anyone running this on their car? Did you have any problem? Etc, that's what I want to hear.Sam
"This product is straight from the OEM manufacturer in Asia. We are still trying to get info on it. This product is being sold under other US brand name.It's cheap because you are not paying for the brand name (like APC, autometer etc.) and we buy them straight from the manufacturer...
I need to know what the oil flow rates are of the stock T25 turbo. I need to buy a scavenge pump for my project, because I have no gravity grain due to the T25's being mounted on both sides of the oil pan and being level with it.Any help would be great :)
SamThe pic below isn't of my...
I know I'm bringing this back up from the grave, but I'm still gathering parts for the project and I wanted to say that I really appreciate you guy's insight on this subject, no better place to go for a custom turbo setup then these boards right here :D<b>If ANYONE knows anything or has a...
So how big are your engines?Cause mine is3.8/2= 1.9I want 6 to be my baseline, I don't think you guys are understanding that, I want huge amounts of room for improvement.Sam
Too much cash all at once- if I were to do an engine swap....I'd just trade in the car for an LS1...the cost just is too much to make it worth it.Looking for a link to the GN swapped Firebird..http://www.gmhightechperformance.com/features/0109gmhtp_byebye/It's good reading :)Sam
It's been done once- and it was a really expensive project.The GN is the 3800 Series 1Mine is the 3800 Series 2...despite the names, there is a lot of difference and I read it was a huge PITA to fabricate.Sam
6-8 psi would be my baseline, I'd definately do 9-10 at the track.After getting GTP pistons and better tuning/fuel management would definately go for 12-13--Always want room for improvement.Sam
I'm going to go with the two turbos...I already have them here.A single T25 will spool up VERY fast on my engine and run out of steam way before my redline.I *shouldnt* need new manifolds because of twins, I will be mounting them the same place where the LS1's mount their twin t3/t4...
Will do, I don't really need much more as far as parts...Have:
1 T25
Front mount intercooler
Bosch BOV
Gauge Pillar
Boost, EGT gauge
Fuel Pump
Trunk mount battery kitNeed:
Another T25
Possibly another intercooler, still debating if I want to use the one I have now (OEM 2G dsm)...
I have a fuel pump on the way, stock injectors are good for 12 psi or so or at least that's what the other forced induction guys are doing.The 3800 Series II Engine ways just barely less than the LS1, because the LS1 is an all aluminum block, so they both handle quite nicely.My tranny is...
I have bought 2 Garrett T25 turbos off 2g DSM's, that I am going to put on my 98 V6 Firebird. I've researched quite a bit but just can't seem to find that the stock boost of the 2g turbo DSM's were set at- so if anyone know's that I would appreciate it a ton.I also have another question, I...
