Whats is A Turbo Kit

[Isphius]

You could just tell us what your planning to do...we wont hate you. Itll be ok. Plus, then someone will just tell you if itll work or not.

jus giv me this:
what would you guys need to upgrade when upgrading from n/a to turbo

from 7mge to 7mgte

I would need a.....7MGTE, harness, and an ECU.

To be honest I dont know much about turbos, Ive never owned one and all my automotive knowledge has come from my own personal experience. I learn by doing.

But, one way to figure out what you would need to do is to find an aftermarket turbo upgrade kit for at least a similiar engine, and duplicate all the parts they include. then figure out a way to fab them all in to your system, and make it work.

Here is the thing, I know what your trying to use and trying to accomplish, I think that while its feasable to do, in the end your going to have to spend nearly as much as just buying the pieces and parts from a real turbo system and putting em all together, and your end result will be an inferior system that will lack drivability and could possible damage your engine.

Having said that, I still wish you the best of luck with it and I really hope that Im wrong. My goal for my Sup' is to add in MORE drivability with things like better brakes, better suspension, more gadgets and things like that. Im quite happy with my performance the way it is.

when i first started this thread, i was jus actually going for a 10 - 20 hp addition and maybe better gas mileage

but now, i am actually gonna use this idea to make a hybrid system,
im gonna try to get a turbonetics ball bearing turbo kit with intercooler
or maybe the hks ball bearing one
dunt know which one is better , yall get back at me with that

but a hybrid system will have instantaneous boost
and hopefully, it'll work, like i said i got a lot riding on this
this car is also my daily driver , and my project thats why i cant screw up

one step at a time
and everybody get ready to be askd this types of silly ideas in the future cuz im still here

Thats why exhaust drive (Turbo) or belt drive (supercharger) make so much better sense as they manually go with RPM and then all you have to do is get the fuel air mixture right which could end up costing thousands scince no one makes an aftermarket kit for the NA as far as I know. If your trying to do both electrically then I suggest an engineering degree and a lot of research before attempting it.
It sounds as if your trying to compensate by putting in bigger injectors and hoping the stock ECU will still work, but what happens when your not under boost and the bigger injectors make it too rich?

[Isphius]

Ive heard you can use some of the aftermarket piggyback fuel computers with the stock NA, But it will still run too rich off boost. But nost as much as just stuffing the bigger injectors in.

ovbiously this is a bigger project than i thought, wow, but can u guys imagine the possiblities of this think, an electric turbocharger? no waiting for spool up time, you dont hav to b at a high rev to use the full potential of a turbo, the boost can even be speed variable,

if only i had the money to develop this

There is not much lag if your turbo is set up right..I have 13psi of boost at 2200 rpm on an upgraded CT-26 all the way to redline.

Some guys run a small turbo for low RPM and a larger turbo for the higher RPM..

I am back to wanting to use a small supercharger to spool a larger turbo for no lag and off idle boost.. Best of both worlds without the turbo slowing the exhaust flow through the head...

Or use them both together. Small supercharger and a big turbo..

Thats just my idea...

Jet engines work kind of like that. They have a small electric or really small jet motor that spools up the larger motors so they can start. It wouldnt be hard to do that with a turbo. Youd actually pre pressurize the exhaust, And if thats what you were thinking of doing, Kudos. You would need a one way flapper valve kinda thing. Not hard to make. So exhaust gas doesnt come out when the pressure builds. Plus the motor would have to make more CFMs and pressure than the motor running at idle. You might be able to use parts off of a 2jz gte or a twin turbo rx7, cause they have valving like that for the sequential turbos.
