2G 4g63t swapped

[4g63tswappedgst]

I have a 4g63t swapped gst and was wondering what turbo I can use safely for a little more power or if I can get a tune

Mhi 14b FTW!!! What was in the car before? The 2g's gst's came with 4g63t's already so not sure what your swap is. Unless you had a gs or rs with the 420a?

That would make sense that it came with it I'm new to dsm I was told this by a16yr old who owned it but couldn't drive

Lol oh boy!! I would do maintance before anything bro. But a 14b is a great cheap upgrade over the stock t25. If you throw in some 550-850 fic's injetors and maybe walbro a 190 or 255 (would need a afpr to run correctly). And a safc2 or even better ecmlink, you will have a potent beast and handle 17-20psi no prob! Oh and throw in a set of arp head studs for insurance! Maybe he meant he did a 6bolt swap!?

Im thinking he just meant they put a new motor in then ??? And all that sounds expensive kinda limited on cash (wife and kids)

What turbo does it have in it now? It looks it has an FMIC , the previous owner may have already changed the turbo? You should find out what turbo it has now and what other mods it has already before you start changing things. Post some pics of the engine.

Na you can find most of those parts on here cheap. But like mentioned above definitely get the low down on what's under the hood exactly. Just start small and work your way up. Here's a few guides to look thru and get some ideas. Post a good pic of the front of the compressor cover and we can tell you what turbo is in there. http://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/2g-dsm-upgrade-paths.486217/#post-153470259

Heres the motor[DOUBLEPOST=1413474796][/DOUBLEPOST]Heres the turbo well as much as I have right now

Looks like it still has the stock turbo. The intake and BOV have been changed. The BOV should be recirculated you sould look into finding a 1g BOV or one that that can be recirculated. The intercooler pipe coming off the TB looks a little wierd. How does the car run? You should make sure all maintenance is done before you start moding it.

Yuppers that's def a t25 your rocking there ! And ya wow some really sharp bends in the piping going to the throttle body. I would personally redo all of that. And like mentioned about find a 1g bov or one that can recircualte properly. Your car will run so much better that way bro! I'd also find a way to get the fuse box back in stock location or near it. You don't want that thing bouncing around!

 

[DsmMickey]

You should put the timing cover back on, not a good idea to leave it out. If you like to show your cam gear, you can buy yourself a clear timing cover.

 

[4g63tswappedgst]

The fuse box is in the right place that was just the cover [DOUBLEPOST=1413495992][/DOUBLEPOST]After maintenance what would I be able to do before needing a tune

 

[Dsmkauai]

That's good bro! it's best to get some tuning software and start learning! A boost gauge and wideband are great tools to have to tune and monitor the motor. You can ditch the t2small and get a 14b! Haha like meantioned get a better bov or figure out how to recirc the one you have. Take that filter off the valve cover and plum a line in like its supposed to be! Pretty much undo all the mods the previous po did , they are wrong and actually are hurting performence!

That tb pipe looks weird as hell as mentioned. adds a bunch of extra couplers to leak from
