Bought a turbo kit

[Flamereka]

I finally bought a turbo kit. It is custom, but very well put together. Manifold, t3 ballbearing, FMIC & piping, FMU 12:1, blow off valve, downpipe, an oilpan tapped with fittings welded in, and all the oil lines, and 370cc injectors. To me it looks just like a bought kit. Before someone points this out, I know that it was not made specifically for the 240sx( the frontier/xterrra), but the same engine, same mounting position. I think the only thing I will have to correct is where it connects to the intake manifodl and the down pipe.Tell me what you think. if the image don't work here is the link:http://www.djiniquity.net/sime/turbokit.jpg

looks cool How much boost?

He ran 10psi on his motor and got 215whp, and 235ft.lbs on the dyno. Seems very nice. That was in a truck too. I bet with a lsd the et times would kick ***.

Wow that's nice.. but isn't the whp a little on the low side for 10psi of boost? The nsport kit gets about 230whp at 7psi.

yea, you must still be running very rich. i would imagine you can get more like 250rwhp at 10psi.

Well it is just a t3 people. 215 seems about right I would imagine. Nsport uses a T4 to get those numbers at 7 p.s.i.

How much was the kit and where did you buy it from, and wtf is up with that throttle body?

The kit is running 370cc injectors and an FMU. You will be running very rich, expecially in the lower rpms. With a piggyback like the HKS SAFR or the Apexi SAFC, I bet it could be tuned for more power.

Also, unless it's a big T3, it is probably not very efficient at flowing 10psi with a 2.4 liter engine. That's probably why it only hit 215 hp, but had 238 ft./lb. of torque.

Sounds like a great setup, but I recommend a fuel computer for some fine tuning to make more power.

I see the FMU but are you sure it is 12:1? Because if you run 10psi then that is 120psi more than stock. Stock is 35psi (I think) so that is 155psi of fuel. I didn't think that a fuel rall can handle that. The nsport uses 7:1 so at 7psi it is 49psi + 35 is 84psi. I'm just wondering 'cause I was looking at using a 8:1 FMU that would be 91psi and I was thinking that might be to much psi.

Since we're on the topic of turbos, what do you guys think about a .6 trim and .82 a/r turbine t03/04E ?

Doesn't mean it will actually make that much fuel pressure. IT will be limited to the pump's ability to flow. I would say a 12:1 FMU is high for a 370cc injector set-up. At 10 PSI, the injectors should be getting close to it's max without an FMU. I see no reason to run an FMU with that set-up.
