TurboCharger project from scrap for Do-IT-Yourself, Turbocharging your car from parts gather Options

[west_minist]

In Barbados, a lot of guys have put together their turbocharger kit.

This post is to show you in simple terms how easy or hard it is to turbocharged your ride.

I believe my USA, AUS and other will find the part more readily available than us here in the Caribbean.

Please note that this document is to serve as a reference for your customized job. I am not liable for any damages and problems cause buy this document.

I am not a Mechanic, Engineer or have anything relate to the automotive industry.

I have been very fortunate to be around Mechanics, Auto Electricians and people doing these projects.

Part List:

Note pad, Computer or your little brother/sister making notes

1) Meters for monitoring your car. E.g., Temp, Boost, A/R Ratio, pressure and so on.

I would recommend Blitz DC Series meters* or any other

Power Meter
You can also use the Btilz Power Meter i-D http://www.blitz-na.com/PM_ID.htm OR the G-TECH/Pro Competition http://www.gtechpro.com Monitoring tool.

2) New Computer like Autronics, Motec, TEC3 or piggy back computers like the Apex AVC & SAFC

3) Blitz Turbo Timer or any other

4) Ignition Controller with Boost and Timing controls. E.g. Crane Cams (6000-6466
)*, MSD(PN 6520), HKS

5) Ignition Coil. Nology M80*, Crane Cams LS92, MSD PN 8252

6) Nology Plug wires* or TRD, MSD, Crane Cams or any others

7) Iridium Spark Plugs. NGK, HKS

8) Hoses, wire, clamps, cable ties and other stuff you might need as you go along

9) Light Rims like OZ Racing*, Racing Hart, Yokohama Advan* Rims and so on.

10) VeilSide*, MagnaFlow, HKS, Apex or any other exhaust w/ customize 2.5 -3” down pipe.
11) Customized header for the turbo

12) JIC, TRD or others structural braces.

13) JIC Suspension, Ground Control Suspension

Include anything here to make you car performer like a street/race car for handling and performance.


No ordering here. You are now in turbo world

Forge Pistons and Crank if you can. If not, please run low boost <8psi with the small HKS turbo like the GT2510 or even small GT-SS from HKS or Toyota CT20B*

Cam Gear from AEM, HKS, JUN or where ever you can get one for your vehicle

Celica GTFour turbo CT20B or any other within a 300HP+ specs. All turbos have internal wastegates. Please verify this with HKS first.

- HKS GT 2510* or GT2530 or GT2535
- Please give yourself enough room for future HP numbers

BOV (Blow Off Valves) from Blitz, HKS, Greddy and others

Celica GTFour injectors or new Injectors from RC Engineering (500-550cc)

Adjustable Fuel pressure regulator with optional boost inlet. e.g. 2 vacuum ports + fuel in/out

- HKS http://www.hksusa.com/products/?id=630
- TRD


Intercooler from HKS or some other manufactures. You can also try the GTFour or OEM intercooler from any other car manufactures

Piping,hoses and clamps for turbo setup

Oil Cooler for cooling the engine oil and piping to carry oil to and from the turbo.

Most of All, a lot of research in turbocharging your car.

Please take your time in setting up and tuning your car. Short cuts does not get you any way. You may even be ready to offer a custom kit to others once you can get those parts available.

Someone ask me what is a piggy back computer.

A piggy back computer is an extra device which adds functionality to a computerise device.

For instant, you have just put on a Air filter from HKS and a veilside exhaust.

Please remember that with an added new filter, the engine is now breathing better; At least by 20% stated by some. More than likely, you are running a little lean. This is where the Air Fuel Ratio meter comes into play. It is a must. It shows you how your A/F ratio mixture is behaving at varying rpm's.

Have you ever hear someone saying, "the car runs good, but is leaning out or just not performing up top"?

Also, with the added filter, you may want a little perf. To compensate this lean problem, you NEED MORE FUEL. How can you get it? A number of ways which can not be dealt with here or maybe at a later time in this posting.

The best possible way, especially for future project and going turbo, is to have a new computer, which can be expensive.

It is better to go with a PECU (programmeable ECU). The cheapest way that you have have a PECU without stripping in to the harness for a total new computer upgrade like a Autronics, Motec, TEC3 system, is to run a computer that just handle fuel or what ever you need.

The computer allows you to control your fuel requirement fooling the car ecu about things not to worry about.

You can use this same piggy back computer to change fuel requirements base on rpm, boost and so on. More versitility in your control!

I hope that I have done a pretty good job explaining this. Anyone can jump in an add whats needed. My wrist is starting to hurt after a computer accident last week
