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

You should still run an adjustable FPR so you can play with that for tuning capabilities. Otherwise your limited to what the stock FPR is pushing & something tells me your gonna be going above and beyond that lol

Manifold is welded up, intercooler is mounted.

Im wondering if I need to run the rrfpr if I run MS.

It looks like im gonna get someone to build up a MS setup for me and then get it tuned. Sounds like its the best way to go.

Anyone if you can get an m50 turbo tune on TRM multi tune?

[Jafxod]

More test fitting

i am just now setting up my turbo setup

M52B28
WAR chip (chip,60 lb,injectors,blo through maf)
Hx35 Holset
Split pulse top mount manifold

Getting the base turbo tune was a simple as emailing brody. He emailed me the file and i saved and opened it. Dunno about NV though.

Yeah I was just informed they dont have anything for NV =/

Does anyone know how easy it is to find an m50 turbo tune for WAR chip?

[Jafxod]

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.

[trackjunkie21]

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

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.

M50nv has no knock sensors lol

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?

[trackjunkie21]

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

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.
