turboing a vts?

20th February 2006, 16:48

ryt guys soon as all the problems are sorted i am thinking off turbocharging the vts wot i would like to know is a T2 big enough or is it to small for a vts saxo ?
wot bhp would i expect to gain from it ?
an it's brand spanking new turbo

t2 isnt to small but will become restricitve further up the rev range. Simo runs a t2 atm and has shown 190bhp at the wheels.

Remember its not just about strapping on a turbo, fueling, brakes, clutch, compression etc... all need serious attention.

i am going to opt for a decompression plate an 1 headgasket as i don't wanna boost the life out of it
can i replace my std injectors for bigger ones or am i better with extra injectors ?

need a standalone ecu to put 4 larger injectors in or an ecu remap, lowering the compression by either decompression plate or double head gaskets is only a temp soloution as sooner or later the standard pistons will fail as they cannot cope with the heat charging creates.

so the best solution is low comp pistons
ryt so other thing i wanna know is can u run a turbo setup on like a hi/lo setup low for std everyday driving an hi for that wee bit of thrashing ?

as long as its mapped and you have a way to adjust the actuator so preferably some form of bleed valve or apexi avcr for digital adjustment and not a bleed valve as they are crap.

you cant just turn the boost up and expect the ecu to know how much fuel to put in, best to get it mapped for high boost then turn the boost down rather than the other way

na wouldn't be using no cheap shit ratty
if say i got it mapped 0.6 boost in hi would i need a fuel controller when i lower the boost so i ain't running rich ?only want 2 settings that i will use an once they are set thats it no dicking about with them .

.6 is normal boost, i wouldnt say it was high, but it works by load, so the more load (ie boost) then more fuel required, if you lower the load the ecu can compensate for it, however if you only map it for a load of 0.6 and then you turn it up to .10 then it wont know what to do and bang goes your engine.
