need help with turbo.

[ropeadope14]

i mangaed to get hold of a greddy turbo kit with everything needed for safe instalation. its not a huge turbo, i was just wondering would it be safe to run on a standard engine? i mean i know it would allways be better on a built motor but i want a turbo lol once i got the turbo i am going to start building the motor once i got the turbo on but i just wanted to know what anyone else thought. thanks

yea you should be fine man.....jus run low boost tillyou upgrade your fuel system and what not!

It is safe as long as the engine is healthy and it is properly tuned

yer its a jdm engine with 30k milage so its healthy and ive been taking care of it aswel. its a greddy kit so i think it may come with bigger injectors?? who nos lol but thats good news thanks

 

[g3teg97]

and it is properly tuned

Probably most important.

 

[dc2GS-R]

its a greddy kit so i think it may come with bigger injectors??

If it's a complete Greddy kit then it does come with injectors. The injectors that come with that kit are small though and I would recommend switching to some larger RC Engineering injectors. I'd also consider selling the Greddy E-Manage that comes with the kit and getting Hondata instead

yer that was kinda the same thing i was going to do lol but yer dont worry i will be getting it tuned because turbos can suck when they are not tuned lol

 

[Spody02]

dose it come with 18g or something super small like that, lol
i think you'll be fine just be sure to get a tune

yea you should be fine man.....jus run low boost tillyou upgrade your fuel system and what not!

incorrect statement....you can run NO BOOST with a stock fuel setup. The car must have a sufficient fuel setup and a good tune like stated above. You cant boost a car with factory injectors/pump/ect. And boost doesn't blow engines up power does. Have the car tuned for a daily driver hp level and keep it low until you want to rebuild.

dose it come with 18g or something super small like that, lol

Super small? The MHI TD05H-18G can flows around 600cfm, enough air to support over 400hp. That isn't exactly petty. It's not like it's a Garrett T25 or something of that nature

 

[Spody02]

this is comparing a 16g (a little smaller then 18g) to his new hx35 which is only a 50 trim, i dont know, they are just super small

 

[Spody02]

but i guess its just how much it flows really, it just looks small

Trim size doesn't hold much relevance when comparing two completely different turbos. The "trim" is just a relationship between the inducer and exducer of the compressor or turbine wheel. The "trim" holds no relationship to the physical size of the turbo. That may be a 50 trim turbo but it uses completely different and larger wheels and housings. To put the "trim" theory to the grave, consider the 18G has a 55 trim wheel. That measurement is only relevant when comparing similar wheels.

For example, the MHI Big 16G, 18G and 20G all share the same 2.680" compressor exducer. But with different inducer diameters, you end up with them being a 50 trim, 55 trim and 60 trim respectively

Keep in mind that the picture you posted is comparing a good 350hp turbo to a good 550 hp turbo. But they are both "50 trim" turbos LOL

yer i might go with the build 1st im not sure yet lol

Good advice.
