Dumbest things you've heard a DSMer say? :)

[slickers111]

Guy just bought a GSX, after owning a 420A. Alot to learn....

Before the convo, he was telling me the mods it has, and what he wants it to have.(Seeing as im going to be his DSM mechanic)


Him: You know someone with a turbo or what

Me: All the people I know with DSM stuff are around Milwaukee. But I can get you the same turbo as me for $100. You. Wont. Regret. It.

Him: What psi would that be stock

Me: Same. 12 psi.
If you dont have a Boost controller, any turbo you put on, will be 12 psi.

Him:Why would i want it then?

Me: .
Its not the amount of boost that always matters....
The amount of airflow matters too. The 14B is bigger than the T-25.
Making it move more air than the T-25 at the same boost.
You loose some Insta spool, but when it kicks, its alot harder.

Him: O alright. Is it just bolt right on. Or do i need to change stuff

Me: No.The T-25 is interchangeable with the 14B and the 16G. The 16G is the most common turbo put on our cars, but with no fuel mods, youll just mess up the motor. When you bring the car over, Ill show you that nothing needs to be changed.

Him: If you can find me one for 75. Ill buy it

Me: Probably wont be able to find one for that. But Ill ask around.

It won't always be 12 psi, it depends on wastegate pressure. a 14b stock wastegate pressure is like 8lbs.

They also arn't directly interchangable, you need a 2g install kit. The flanges are different, the outlet, and the oil feed.

Outlet meaning compressor outlet i hope

Needs j pipe, and install kit, done deal.

Of course. Why I provided the link to the vfaqs, first picture there shows the compressor outlets.

Ummm. He wants the 14B. And he will be ordering a FMIC + j-pipe. All is accounted for guys. It would be hooked back up through the BCS.

14B still needs a 2g install kit for any 2g car. This is common knowledge.

 

[LandoAWD]

"Common" and "knowledge" as a combo pack is not common.

Quoted for future use of that statement. I love it

Nick you do know you can pm me to get the right information. Rather than making yourself look like a noob right.

 

[LandoAWD]

Post pictures of your valves, Bud!

Awh man that's cold!

 

[LandoAWD]

I put a cheery emoticon on there.

You have already seen my valves I'm guessing.

But youll be happy to know I just ordered my intake valves, they should be here by Saturday.

I know what needs to be done. Everything is accounted for. Ive done the T-25 to 14B swap many times before. All I need him to get is the turbo, J-pipe, and FMIC+Piping. I have all the other stuff needed.

Let me know how that stock 12lbs of boost without a MBC on that 14b works out for him!

Cant tell if thats sarcasm or not.
If it is, mines at 12 without a MBC...

 

[Archer Fabrications]

Thats what chris said wasnt it? Lol 12psi is slow

 

[curt-s]

I need better tires. I lose traction at 10psi in second gear, nevermind 12.

 

[Archer Fabrications]

Interesting, i dont loose any traction at all at 26psi on my hx40 and these are good ol touo proxes 4 (15k miles old) of straight up launches/heavy pulls, corners, just murder.. Still dont loose traction unless it's raining. Lol

 

[crash89]

You are also AWD.. Its pretty easy to blow the tires off fwd..

 

[Archer Fabrications]

O i didnt see the fwd part anywhere profile says talon tsi?

 

[BurrowZ]

O i didnt see the fwd part anywhere profile says talon tsi?

TSi = fwd.

TSi AWD = well, you can probably figure that out.

 

[Archer Fabrications]

Ah, i have an eclipse so i was under the impression esi was turbo fwd.
