Reliability on N/A turbo
I've been reading on aaron cake's n/a turbo conversion. I have researched a ton about this and desided iI want to go ahead with a n/a turbo. I do have one question, How reliable is it to do this? I would like to keep my car as a daily driver after it is done. Is this realistic?
I have the parts for running a stock t2 turbo, intercooler modded as a fmic, and the 2.5" spaced exhaust manifold.
I would like to run 550cc primary, 720cc secondary injectors, FD fuel pump and S-AFC, aeromotive FPR, I'm not sure about ignition yet. Any imput on that would be great as well.
I currently have a 87 n/a with 3500 miles on a rebuilt streetport, with no emissions, and some mild mods on the side.
I just don't want to spend the time and money on this and it not last.
Thank you for the support.

im 3/4 the way through my na-t swap and I was wondering kinda the same thing but.. what is the the problem? The higher compression causes it to lean out cause not enough fuel? If you have the turbo ecu tpressure sensor t injectors t fuel pump and t fpr you should be fine right? (I could be wrong im wrong a lot )

crap ok I guess I will have to get an safc and go get it tuned at a dyno. There goes 200$
Is there a way to disable boost easily? Just keep the wastegate open somehow?

I had a friend that recommended running the turbo but pulling the cas back a couple degrees. He says that the higher compression should negate the timing. Do you think that would be fine for 5 psi on a t2 ecu? (stock 550 injectors and t2 fuel pump, stock s4 na block)

I dont have any quotes or anything, but I remember reading a while ago that there was an issue with timing or something when running all 6 ports and the turbo? Is this at all true?

But if you insist, the stock ECU, an S-AFC and 550s will be fine. Or you can use the TII ECU.

^^^ If your using the stock s5 n/a ecu what would you do about timing? Just retard it at the cas? If I use the tii ecu could I just ignore the 2 different pins? Or would that cause a problem?

awesome I can finally get rid of the huge exhaust leak from between the motor and the turbo. (1 of the exhaust manifold bolts was either severely stripped or the exhaust housing was molding haha)
