Hi Flow Turbo On Stockish Car

[ducki]

my turbo just died recently.. so i'm planning to replace it with a hiflow turbo. car has catback and fmic. rest is all stock.. so will it be ok if i get the hi flow and run it at low boost? or will it stuff up my engine more?

[mad082]

you'd be best off doing the dump/front pipe as well. then you would have to run it at stock boost as it would flow more air than the stock one, so if you went higher you may hit rich and retard. other than that it would be fine.

as he sed, finish ur exhaust, buy a boost controller and an ecu and tune it. i wudnt run it for too long or give it too hard until uve tuned it, just to be on the safe side.

A mate put one on his completely stock S2 Stagea (NEO engine). Goes fine. More power.

i asked for the slide turbo.. but no turbo till jan next year.. abit of a long wait and not sure if i can still drive my car cause of white smoke coming out of exhaust.

[evil_weevil]

what if you were to use a turbosmart single stage, and keep the boost to 7psi and 10psi

would that work? it would be with a powerFC / ECU upgrade/tune

im running slide hiflow,full 3" exhaust n dump, cooler,walbro pump and about 14psi...it feels good but the stock ecu holds the hiflow back something bad..i mean i can barely pull away from stock 33's that are running cooler/exhaust and 14psi

Ive got a highflow, sitting there waiting to go on (found a R34 gcg highflow at a price i couldnt pass up).

batmbl split dump and highflow cat

catback 3in

Turbosmart eboost 2

I ran my standard turbo at 10psi for only short periods. Would the highflow move more air at stock boost than the standard at 10psi?

Im thinking if i run it at standard boost, and set the wastgate pressure to open up at low boost (eboost 2 gate pressure function), will this be ok to cruise around with for a while. Then i can sell my stocko turbo and get FMIC or more likely a PFC while they are still around. Also on the cards is fuel pump and injectors when the $$$s allow.

it doesnt matter at what boost, it will always flow more air and send your ecu into shock. best thins is to get all the supporting mods at the same time as the power fc

[EvilINGT]

I realise that boost is only relative to each specific turbo. Which is why i ask if a gcg highflow moves more air at stock wastegate pressure than the standard turbo at 10psi.

Which also leads to the question, what boost is the wastegate spring set to on A- a r34 turbo, and B- a r34 gcg highflow turbo (sydneykid some help maybe )

ok.. if i have roughly $500 to spend on after turbo upgrade.. what will be the best thing to spend it on? keep in mind.. i only have catback and fmic. cause it doens't look like i'll be able to afford a new ecu for awhile.

[Adriano]

Dump pipe, K&N insert and a fuel pump, running it with a standard computer will hold it back, but there is no way it will hurt your motor, the ecu has such savage engine protection built in

With only $500 to spend, buy a SAFC and split dump...

i was thinking of the safc too.. but i'm planning to get an ecu upgrade down the track so i don't know if it will be worth buying safc..

[QRI05E]

You will get you money back for the Safc when you decide for an ECU upgrade...
