New turbo

[kyle-reece]

Hey guys

Getting a new turbo put on the vr4 and just wondering what options I have (within my budget)

I have a 3" exhaust, waste gate and standard 450cc injectors. I do have a set of 510's but would I need a re tune for them to run well?

I'm thinking maybe just a big 16G, as this would be the easiest and cheapest option with minimal upgrading of fuel pumps and chips etc..

Do I have other CHEAP options?

Of course I would love to have a 20G or t3/t4 but I can't afford re tuning the car and upgrading my fuel system right now....

Any advice would be appreciated!!

Cheers.

Also I want good response and something that still spools up early with a bit of kick!

I would save some coin up get ecmlink to tune , then put in walbro 255 pump , fpr , and go with 20g turbo . No point doing turbo if you dont have supporting mods to run bigger boost. I would even go bigger than 510s im maxing out my 560s with a 20G @ 22 PSI

What Croket said. I plan to have one of these hanging off the head by the end of the year.

Could I just fit a big 16G and my 510's and maybe just chip the ecu for them to run ok?

I tried the 510's once and they ran like shit as it was too rich.

I unfortunately can't afford a tune, a big turbo and bigger injectors at the moment

That's basically what I have now. I have a Walbro pump too and I would recommend one as the first step of any upgrade requiring more fuel.

Cool thanks for the tip. I'm thinking I might head in that direction. What work would need to be carried out on the ecu? Would it need a re-tune?

 

[LumpyVR4]

With a 16G you will definitely need a re-tune. I have a stock ECU with a socket so you can remove the chip that holds the map. It's a reprogrammable prom. I have a generic map based on my mods done by Meek Automotive in Sydney.

Okay thanks for your help mate. I'm in New Zealand so I'll have to find some closer to me

You could also contact "Razza". He is in NZ and can do chips.

I got a chip from this guy, but you would need a Ozzie or US ecu. http://autoandtunningservices.webs.com/

Very good guy .

I would check this one out:

Virtually the same thing and $500 cheaper... prob too late for you now though?

They are good turbos. ^

 

[kyle-reece]

Yeah cheers guys. Ended up just getting a genuine tdo5 20g

How'd you go with the EPROM tune? I have a tune for 16G+510cc+2G AFM on my computer somewhere, but like the guys above said, you'd wanna chuck in a walbro pump in the tank.

 

[MDK87]

The 510's were at about 85-90% duty @ 20psi on a 16G.

 

[kyle-reece]

Haven't done the tuning side of things yet. The car has another problem that needs fixing first yeah it's only running 10 psi for the moment
