yep another turbo thread
Ok so i know this topic has probably been touched on several times but i have yet to find alot of info that can help me. I have a 98 ls and have decided to start saving for a turbo kit, im still unsure if i want to buy parts for a kit as i go or just save and buy a whole kit all together. I dont want an all out race car and i cant afford a rebuild so need to keep it on stock internals. so far from what i gather aside from the usual turbo, manafold, fmic, ect you also need some sort of ecu control or stand alone, upgraded fuel system ie.. injectors, preasure regulator fuel rail? what else. i want to have all the parts a few hundred to hit a dyno and have it tuned but i need to be able to budget what all this will cost. so basically what im asking is:
What parts are needed for a complete kit running safely at 8-14psi?
What recomendations can you all offer on turbo types, ar ratios, brands etc?
What amount of boost should i go for to keep my engine alive but still have some fun with the car?
and i guess is a hondata type stand alone needed or are there other ways to turbo tune safely?
any help in this matter would be great and maybe we can get a bunch of info into one thread on an ls turbo swap rather then pieced all over the forums/web. also if you have a link where this is already at that would work.
thanks, Kris
oh and my teg is 5spd not auto
