Dumb Ass Teenager Turbo/Body Work/Respray Learning Experience Build Thread

[jaywood]

Thanks man. Could you go into more detail on the install and tuning? What kind of numbers are you putting down?

Hehe, thanks ^^^ ;)


Here's the run down (keep in mind.. this is all on an m20): I used the AFM wheel to get my idle to stoich with the bigger injectors (14.7 on wideband). I guess you're not supposed to tune like this though. You're supposed to tune for the lowest vac value, not AFR's. The RRFPR goes in-line with the fuel return. Adjust fuel pressure at idle to ~47psi (somewhere around there). I have a turbo chip, nothing fancy. It came from eBay I bet. It says bosch turbo on it. I got a manual boost controller from some company, I forgot the name. It's pretty cool, it works

What would happen if i tried to run my m50 with just a performance chip?

[Jafxod]

Keep in mind. Im not trying to skimp out, I just dont have high goals and simplicity is the main goal here.

Do you already have a performance chip or something?

Yes I do.

[jaywood]

Yes I do.

I honestly wouldn't run a turbo without a turbo chip/MS. I'd be nervous the whole time while driving it.

What are the risks and what would be the next best solution. Are there any turbo specific m50 chips? Could I tune a war chip to do so?

[Jafxod]

Can someone confirm that a WAR chip will allow me to tune my turbo m50. Im searching all over and not getting any good info. Thanks so much.

You'll blow the motor in a short period of time, NA performance chips advance ignition timing to get the most power possible. Once you hit boost the stock MAF won't be able to do anything with the extra air as it doesn't read anything other than vacuum, this is what the rrfpr is for. But that in it'self is a bandaid and really puts a bunch of stress on your fuel system. Too much pressure and you risk blowing your fuel feed lines and having a massive fire. You can build a PnP megasquirt kit yourself for around 200-300 dollars, or have dederick motorsports (on this forum) build you one with launch control and every other function needed for 800, it's plug and play so all you do is disconnect your old 402dme and plug in the megasquirt, hook up your laptop and get to work tuning it.

Yeah dumb statement on my part.I advice everyone to reread the thread title everyonce in a while. Looks like im going WAR chip. Where can I find base tunes?

[einstein57]

M50nv has no knock sensors lol

Was not sure what which m50 you were running. The OP never stated.

Not "loling" at you, but at the fact thats it actually doesnt have knock sensors haha. Hooking up the harness trolled the fuck out of me, i thought my motor was running off magic for a while haha.

24lbs or 30lbs injectors? Will any injectors fit?

[trackjunkie21]

Sure they'll fit, but as long as you have a tune, if the injectors are overrated, as long as the tune is good, you'll be fine.

I just wanted to confirm there werent like different sizes or something.
