okay. I've been looking around, researching, calculating, etc. I was thinking about getting a PW s/c kit for my car someday, but I've been thinking about a junkyard turbo kit. Basically, I'm looking at utilizing either a IHI RHB52 off a 2.2 turbo probe or 626, a garrett or mitsu turbo off a 2.3 turbo volvo, or going big with a Holset HX35 off a turbo-diesel cummins. I only plan to run something like maybe 8-12 psi, running 91-93 pump gas. I have several questions.
-What are the options for manifold's? are the OBX ones really worth 400 bucks? or would it be easier to score a junkyard zetec manifold and have a shop weld a mounting flange on?
-Which setup is easier to set-up...a draw-thru or blow-thru? I've been trying to figure out the advantages of both
-I'm still figuring out various things. Based on my rough calculations, I'll need around 42 lb/hr or 450 cc/min injectors. This is based on hoping to get about 250-ish horsepower.....or maybe like a mid 30 lb/hr would work too?
-wastegate...I was told something like a 38mm Tial would work pretty good for this application...
-Blow off....probably a Greddy S type...they seem to be popular...
-intercooler. Haven't figured that out yet. Probably a small FMIC I imagine....I"ll have to look around for that.
-Piping. What's a good size to run? probably 3" on the intake side? I"ll probably end up running a 2.5" or 3" exhaust.
-fuel system. Will the stock fuel pump flow enough? I've heard of people using a Kenne Bell "boost a pump" with good results.
-MAF....sizing and type?
-tuning. Most important obviously, but I haven't figured out what I'm going to do about that yet....SCT maybe?
I'm still looking at compressor maps and figuring out stuff, so I'm open to any suggestions..
any thoughts or advice is helpful....[driving]
