search, read, learn....

Upgrade your entire fuel system. Make sure its tuned VERY well. Might want to look at building the motor. 99% Youll be having to do it later anyways. Good luck!

well if u get the greddy turbo kit then they send larger injectors with the kit so I mean plug and play wise greddy would be best go with. You could get urself some colder plugs and that would be good. As long as you have intercooler and some plugs with the turbo kit u can run like 8 psi max and 6-7 psi regular without blowing ur motor. Once you get urself a standalone or some proper fuel/engine management you could run probably like 9 psi regularly.

Yah, well an attitude like that isn't going to get you any answers either.

AsianPersuasion · 12-05-2002, 06:33 PM

Yes... patience is a virtue. Don't ever rush a turbo project. You're just asking for trouble. It's not like putting on an intake, header, or exhaust. There's a lot more involved... you're putting a lot more stress on your engine. Take your time. Heck... read some books.

when all else fails... go to www.howstuffworks.com

Like someone said, a turbo project can't be rushed. Trust me, your best bet is to use the search function when you have time and read as much as possible.

Good luck! There's no reason to be rude in here either. There is a lot of knowledge on this site so if you are truly interested in learning then you may want to be a little nicer.

oNePhAtLuDeSh99 · 12-05-2002, 08:10 PM

yea i dont mind be nice to certain ppl. like u y_b_lamron and AsianPersuasion or to ne one else who is chill. Just that guy sharkcohen got me mad. and i do want to learn so ill start sreaching right away. and i have read a little bout the whole turbo thing.

Dude you sound like your 12. You do sound like you have an attitude. Everyone is right, you need to do some research on the subject before rushing into it. First off don't go by how much $$$ you have because you'll end up using it all and then later you won't have the $$$ to fix it when something goes wrong. You need to have about $5000.00 start up cost, which will leave you with a tiny bit for fixes and things. Things go wrong very quickly when your going FI, it took my engine 5 second sto go from perfectly normal to toast....research, learn, when you feel like you've learned about everything you need then start the project.
