My n/a turbo project thread
well it's been a long time before i got where i am today with my 3 year old project.
I decided to go turbo but didn't want to do the turbo engine conversion,Wanted to do my custom fab so i followed Aaron Cake's threads to get more idea's for my n/a turbo and the only difference with my motor is the 93+ rotors in the 6port block and this motor is full bridgeported (same as Aaron's but the center plate is also bridgeported ) recently rebuilt with hurley racing apex seals
for now im still running the car on the n/a ecu runs fine starts right up no problems so far but i have some of the turbo parts like the wastegate,Haltech e6x,Blowoff valve till now, on the way is the ebay intercooler kit.
the intake manifold is a TII intake had the lower intake manifold port matched with the 6 port block some what like japan2la's lower intake manifold thanks to my friend for that.
general propose of the car is mostly drag racing and a daily driver.
the only things i would like to get suggestions on are:
1. fuel pump : been thinking of running a single or dual walbro 255lph pump(s) or the single denso supra pump.
2. the injectors : 4 1000cc injectors but i want to get some idea's from u guys on this one .
3. the turbo : been thinking of the t67 with the 1.00a/r for a fast spool and big power on the high end dont want to go with the .86 ar to small for the bridgeport.
here are some picture's of the parts that are already here:
Some shot's of the interior:
only picture of the exterior right now, pretty much stock only difference now is the addition of the Hid kit and the Jdm mirrors will post a new picture later
if you guy's have any Question's or comment's or suggestions's for my project your welcome. thanks
Edgar,

A quick question do u guys think a hx50 with a 19cm turbine housing will be too much for this project or a hx40 with a 19cm housing found both for almost the same price just dont want too much lag. dont have the budget for a garret Gt BB series
the hx40 is gated but if i weld the gate shut and remove the mechanics would be ok. the hx50 is a non wg version
hope to get some help on this one

A 40 is just going to leave you wanting more.
50 is a good choice but again, you may get bored of it and want more.
Hell, you can run an hx55. People are spooling them on single slam hondas at around 5500-6500 if it gives you any idea of how driveability would be. They're fairly easy to find. I'm a HUGE fan of holset turbos. They're cheap enough and hold resale value well enough that if you dont like the 55 or 50 you can sell one for the other and possibly swap. Register on www.homemadeturbo.com. They're always selling great stuff on there at a great price but always do homework on the seller beforehand.

You're using fd rotors. I'd use an hx40 maybe.
There are so many different housings you can use with a holset chra. Alot of the series (cant name them off hand) just use bigger or smaller housings with the same chra and same turbine/compressor wheels. Holset turbos are like legos. Keep that in mind. Bullseye makes housings that fit holset wheels as well.
Do a search on www.homemadeturbo.com or even check out the holset site and read their faq.
