"it works for now guys. if you want me to get a wide-band so bad, then give me money for one. this offers a rough idea until everything gets solidly running and smooth, and i can get to a dyno. once i save up money, i can upgrade to a wide-band, but until then, you all will have to cope with what i have for my setup. i'm sorry that i don't impress you all, but i wasn't trying to." my oil leak is more important to fix right now.

for 4 psi your current setup is safe, but i wouldnt boost anything more than that without a wideband to monitor things, larger injectors, and a way to control the larger injectors as well as timing. something like an emanage or other comprehensive piggy-back (not a safc) would work well.

putting a turbo on the car is the easy part, making it run right is the expensive and hard part.

what oil leak do you have maybe i can help

i just have to buy a new oil feed kit, 1.) because the the thread port on the flange ripped off, 2.) the line leaks oil where it connects to the end of the line at the swivel bolt. the other day i was driving it and it came loose from the turbo and sparyed oil all over my engine bay, so my car is in the garage and i have to clean up the engine bay, and wait for the part to come in the mail

you have the pressure restrictor installed on the feed line right?

that happened to me , the large oil block that you used for the oil feed at the block i had one and after about 4 month of viberations the fitting broke and i lost oil pressure and all most all my oil but with the gauge and sensor i was able to shut it down very quick and no problems

Nate, i dont mean any of my posts to be attacks. i just dont want to see a thread 6 months from now "i blew my motor at 8 psi"

[nate95]

i know bitter. i was just being a smart ass lol

how many degrees am i suppose to retard my timing by? anyone know? thanks.

thats a tricky question....

you want normal timing when you're not boosting but it slightly retarded when you're in boost. the stock PCM cant do that, infact if your car is OBD2 then timing is fixed and you cant mechanically alter it. if you have 2 bolts holding down the distributor you can manually retard it a little, no more than 2-4 degrees. even that will make it feel flat and torqueless off boost. start saving for an emanage or something similar to better control fuel and timing so that you dont break things.

i agree ,i have my timming retarded 3 degrees and when i am not boosting it feels very slow ( or when a coupler comes off ) but it feels good under boost

eh, car is still in the garage, im still waiting on that new oil feed kit to come in the mail im soo ready to get this thing out agian

[Punch]

haha, dang im still waiting on that freakin part to come in

[nate95]

GOOD NEWS!!! the part came in today,, so i got the new oil feed kit put on,, and i also figured out my wastegate and boost controller problem, so now the car is driving great, and i dont have to worry about it over boosting, i have it set at 6psi and its insanly fast!! compared to stock that is i can beat my brother GTP in a race so im happy with it considering my bros car runs 14.8s in the quarter. so overall, iam very pleased with the out come i will try to make some videos here in the next day or so!

[Bitter]

keep checking those plugs as you're upping boost.

what year of gtp there is one here that is auto and he ran a 14.1 witch i beat him on the track but not by much it was very close

[nate95]

its a 97 i believe,, he ran a 14.1 and you beat him? what was your time and how many psi was that at?

[trd94]

i dont want to get in a whole he said and prove it debate because i dont have the slip any more but it was like he ran a 14.129 and i ran a 14.097 at 12.5 psi with my 370cc injectors in and it was running very rich so i only ran them that time and took them out until i get my emanage in

[nate95]

very nice, im not going to say you cant run those times,, i was just curious as to how many psi it took you to get low times like that. after having my car turbo'd its very believable by my opinion. i just cant emagine running that much boost, mine is running 6-7 psi right now and its really fast, im just scared to run more cause it feels like the car will break,lol. in first gear anyway, other gears it feels alot better and not like it going to break.

yeah, when i take off with the auto first to second fells really hard but after that it just goes
