3 more wks b4 turbo upgrade!!!!

[smufguy]

i'm looking at 200hp / 10-12psi / 5k .....i jus talked to the tech that is going to rebuild my engine and he told me AEM/GREEDY/A'PEXI etheir one will do. like i said they work one mostly race engines so he told me if there's something that would be better for performance he would tell me. .....eventally i do want to up the ponies though. i want to get to at least around 280-300hp.

AEM is your way to go. CHeck up on that.

To run 12 psi and rev at 5000 rpm, you will have a maximum pressure ratio of (PR) 1.92 and the corrected mass air flow (cMf) of 22.14. For all this, the turbos of your selection are T3 50trim (great turbo with good efficiency area 70% & 75%) as external wastegated or you can also use the mitsubishi turbos 14bs (i guess, the ones on talon/laser/eclipse) are good upto 15psi and they are internal wastegate. So its upto you, so yeah as you go bigger in the size for turbos, u will have the later spool up but with a t3 hot side, you can expect a quicker one.

don't have to get the block sleeved' it can handle the power anyway.

If that can happen with a stock engine I don't feel that I wasted my money.... Just my opinion though... I understand that it's alot of money... But I believe I can only benefit from it and I found a good shop out in the Midwest that does it...

That can happen on a sleeved block too... That hole has nothing to do with the deck... your rod's most likely made that hole.

There are other options like Uberdata/Hondata/Neptune and stuff but its worthless w/o the proper tuner. So i would look for a decent tuner and what they work best with and recommend for your setup.

been a while since i looked into uberdata. thats probably what ill go with if the project ets going again. What are the limitations of that. PSI range. Would it do a gt28rs rated 20 psi? Say 550+ injectors? Did they ever figure out how to add a boost trigger in it? Does anyone know of a dual stage with scramble function boost controller. ive got the hks evc 4 right now but Im thinking the 45 sec. scamble isnt long enough.

I dont like hondata what a waste. Aem sounds good but you limited to what YOU can do. Or at least what I could do. Im sure robs a little more familiar with it than me right now.

our motors can take 20psi easy. The only thing we have to do is get beefier rods and good pistons and of course the usual rod and head bolts. the gt28rs aka disco potatoe is a nice little turbo, considered as the direct bolt on for DSMs and Sr20 motors. I dont really like their flow map, but they are good only upto 25psi (pushing it). its good for moderate power, but not too much power gain in its most efficient area.

He works at a shop in the Raleigh area and does work on the side as well. Im sure he would travel to you since it comes to MA/CT area every few months for tuning sessions. He is a busy guy so you have to be ready for him or you will have to pay by the hour to diagnose your problems. But if i were in your area i would do it hands down if you can afford him. Tuning our cars are more involved so if you go this route expect to pay a little more than a regular tune.

once everything is done i'll get in contact with you to set something up if possible. if i'm gonna do this might as well do it right the first time with little problems to deal with. the guy that i'm taking my engine to is well known around here and is tedious and nit picky when it comes to doing his work so i shouldn't have any problems.
