Turbo KA-T ?

[boricua1082]

I just pulled a turbo off of a 1992 Mitsubishi Eclipse AWD. I am using the turbo it self of course the compr. that is with it with the downpipe.. i am custom making the flange with my stock manifold i have on my 93 240SX KA24DE.. My question is this turbo able to at least produce 4-7psi with stock internals with no tune and will i have trouble with it.....

The turbo is a TD05H-18G

P.S - this turbo is oil and water cooled just in case that matters im just getting in the turbo scene so im kinda new at this...

your probably asking yourself why is the guy using such a small turbo? well i got the turbo setup for 85$ and i could not let it go...

Will you be able to use that turbo to produce 4-7 psi, Yes.Will you be able to use it with stock internals with no tune and have no trouble with it. No

Tuning it is the only way to keep your motor from blowing up with any boost level. You are going to need bigger injectors and some either a ecu tune (JWT, Enthalpy...) or a piggyback (AFC, Emanage...).

PS: Mods, ya might wanna move this over to the KA-T forum.

You...cant run any turbo on earth with no tune.

..Unless you count the electric ones.

gt a fmu and you should be good. or do the proper thing and get a used safc,370cc injectors and a waloro fuel pump. About $400 for a fuel system

I agree

like i siad in my previous statement im just getting in the turbo scene and that why im just raising the question on what i need to do and not do...

hey thaks for the bit of information... very helpful..

Since this turbo is a water cooled am i still required to get an intercooler to run its actual potential or am i fine without it??????

The reason i ask is because im trying to keep it a sleeper, i dont want to be riding around knowing that people know i have a turbo on my car just becuase i have a big intercooler in the front bumber of my car...

Guys, please correct me if I'm wrong. The water-cooling for the turbo is for the turbo itself. As the turbo builds boost (using the exhaust gasses) it also builds heat. Most factory turbos (that I've seen anyway) are water-cooled in addition to oil-cooled (of course the oil is for lube purposes as well).

From what I understand, an intercooler is a real asset since it cools the air (thereby making it more dense) previous to the intake manifold. This also (as I understand it) helps to prevent detonation (the premature combustion of the gas/air mixture within the engine) which is REALLY bad on stock blocks.

For the sleeper look you may try looking for a side mount inter-cooler (SMIC) which is much less conspicuous than a front mount (FMIC). However a front mount is more efficient at dissipating heat depending on core size vs flow(psi) etc.

If you go with a front mount you could try painting it black with some radiator paint to keep a low profile.

I am a relative newb as well, so I could very well be wrong about some of the particulars.

Nope, you pretty much nailed it on the head.

You should definately have some sort of intercooler whether it be an SMIC or FMIC. You should be able to get a stock SR sidemount for cheap since everyone seems to get rid of them instantly.

An intercooler does not cool the turbo, it cools the air coming out of your turbo.

When air is compressed, it becomes hot. so without an intercooler you would be blowing hot air into your engine...you dont want that because hot air will have less oxygen per volume as cooler air.

So yes, you need an intercooler.

hey thanks for that bit of information.. your awesome...

How connection should be done?

I have four port on this turbo... Port 1: oil receivePort 2: oil returnPort3: water receivePort4 water return

Tell me if this is correctPort1: you connect it with a t-brass to you oil pressure switchPort2: connect to your TAP oil panPort3: connect to water pump outlet hosePort4: connect to water pump inlet hose

If there is an easier way or different way please explain....
