Hey wuts up?
I'm saving up now to buy a turbo kit for my protege(dx 2.0) the kit on i think its "turbokits.com" or something like that?..lol

Anyway my question is what realistically would i have to do to get around 250 -275 hp?
how much boost can this motor handle stock?
i think i've read somewhere that some of the MSP guys run 12-13 Lbs of boost daily on the stock internals but i just wasn't sure? if thats the case how much hp does 12 or 13 Lbs of boost equate to genrally?

also if anyone has the kit i'm saving up for when they run the 6psi i think its set at how much power are you putting down?

thanks in advance for any answers,tip's and advice
peace

please dont buy that piece-of-junk turbokit. It is well documented that they are garbage.

if you're looking for 250hp I suggest you check out Wagner Motorsports, HiBoost Turbo's, or wait for my new supercharger kit.

In the meantime you should read up some on how engines work and what exactly a forced induction system can do for you.

I agree with Matty^^---while you are saving up, buy this book:
Maximum Boost by Corky Bell. Read it and learn.

yeah it does well to explain the in's and out's of turbo systems. He also writes a book called "Supercharged" (by Corky Bell)....same thing, good book about superchargers.

i don't like to run more than 10psi on a stock motor that will get you around 200-210hp

^^I Agree^^..FS-DE will start snapping rods after about 210-220 lb-ft of torque

thanks for the reply's
i pretty much know how turbos work i'm just used to the bp's cuz i had a 1st gen before and don't know much about these 2.0's

also how exactly are they junk? they seem to have pretty good parts in the kit like the apexi super afc II and i've heard the t25's are good turbos what parts of the kit make it junk?

...some engine management work is going to be necessary to supply a 275hp engine with enough fuel and a proper spark advance curve.... bolt-ons alone will not get you there.

macdaddyslomo

3rd gen's have PLENTY of spark to run this much power...fuel is lacking though, I do agree with that

yeah i'm planning on using a haltech eventually at first i'm just going to run the 6 psi maybe a lil more, but eventually i'd like to have more power
does anyone on here actually have this turbokit or no?
