thinking of throwing a turbo on the woo

sheepdizildawg · Post by **sheepdizildawg** » Wed Jan 28, 2009 6:38 am

well in about 4 months i will be out of school and able to get a good paying job finally. I will be buying a new car, but keeping the lanos as a project car. i am thinking the first thing i will be doing is putting a turbo in it. I know there is a few build lists around here, but i think i have most parts down.

I need the turbo, a small one, not looking for a lot of boost
so:
turbo
intercooler
intercooler piping
oil lines
boost gauge
manifold
injectors
injector rails
fuel pump
a new ecm or piggy back

ok so i know where to get most of this stuff

quick questions

injectors.. where to get them? and what size?
what fuel pump should i go with?
and where to get a piggy back system or what ecu should i use?

the injectors will be based on what size turbo you are going with and how much boost you want.... so a lil more info is needed

Stock fuel pump might also be fine for a low boost conservative setup

no more then 8psi. not looking for something huge just enough to get an edge on the competition.

When you say your from Washington..... are we talking the NW state.... or Washington the capital?

If your from the state of Washington then I would suggest the idea of driving up to Alberta and we can help you.

Do you have emission testing in Washington?

That is always something you have to consider

you don't need a turbo manifold... can use the OEM mani with adapter flange

you use the injectors from a 2.0 or 2.2 nubira or leganza (given the 8 PSI boost you are going to be running)

also you can keep your OEM fuel rail

sweet, will the stock fuel pump work? or do i need a new one? and where do i find a piggy back for my ecm?

any thoughts on a turbo to use? something that spools up quickly?

we have a turbo 2.0 optra running 237 WHP with stock fuel pump... i recon you got nothing to worry about in this area

so i found this guy selling a turbo kit for an eclipse.
he wants $800 for everything.

i was thinking buy it, then sell the injectors, fuel pump, manifold, pillar pods, and there was a few other things, think this would be a good idea?
just use the turbo and intercooler and maybe some of the lines and the gauges,

Ebay turbos are hit and miss i've saw some blow apart at 7psi of boost and ive saw other where they went to 12 np..... You're better off finding a T3 or T3/T4 hybrid and getting a IC off E bay.
