boosted f22a

[AstroVannin]

At least the following:

DSM 450CC Injectors
WEIR Manifold
Junkyard T3
Stealthmode Oil Lines
Blow Off Valve (Volvo 240, Piersburg)
Intercooler Piping
Intercooler (SAAB 900?)
Couplers (I got some 2.5id reinforced silicone rad hose from a truck shop)
Clamps (Princess Auto T-Bolt style)
Bigger fuel pump (Walbro 255)
Chipped and tuned ECU

Once you get that all installed DO NOT BOOST IT!

Fixed it

I was actually considering boosting my F22. At 192*** miles, me and a buddy figured if i bought one of those ebay kits (anywhere from $600-$1400) and ran at between 5-7psi, with regular maintanece it could be a good daily driver. All depends on how your engines running. Im probly not going too, but i considered it.

Thats a tad ghetto dont you think? haha

No.

I dont know how a custom made log manifold with a T3 is any more ghetto then bastardizing the DSM manifold. Plus it will be ALOT easier to upgrade later on or find a replacment in a pinch. T3 flange is on alost everything.

Also, if the BOV (which is adjustable BTW) is good enough for a Volvo 240 (basically a tank) Im sure its going to be better then a ching chong knock off from ebay.

SAAB Fmic... whatever, take it or leave it, its cheap and it works. Obviously theres better, but SAAB ones can be had CHEAP, and they fit almost anywhere. Easily upgradable later on.

The silicone rad hose worker PERFECT for me. Sure you can spend more... but why would you want to? For clamps... as far as Im concerned T-Bolts are T-Bolts... who cares where they come from.

Well ghetto works for the people that live in them.
and what do you consider ghetto?
What works, works.

and yeah, chodes-a-plenty around here. especially when people don't realize that a dumb question gets a dumb answer.

and mt answer to the OP question: It's all about the tune. assuming you have all the right components, the only thing that will save that motor is maintenance and an AMAZING tune.

what people may not know is that ludedude1992 has already had a f22 boosted with the setup he listed.

he was simply making a recomendation in a setup that he knows works

So because he used it, and it works, its NOT ok to recoment improvments? I didnt dispute that it would work, or whether he did or didnt run that setup.

He called my recomendations "ghetto" ... not vice versa. I just wanted to know why a custom log mani was "more ghetto" then hacking on a manifold from another make.

What "people may or may not know" is I had a Chrysler T3 on a weld to cast gangster mani and Celica injectors with an SAFC hack on my Tercel..... Did it work?. yeah, Could it be improved? for sure.

I would rather get a proper mani and turbo the first time and upgrade everything else as time and funds allow.

calm it down, i wasnt calling anyone out i was just giving out some facts. he ran that setup for over a year without a problem.

all i was saying. i never said that anyones setup was ghetto or didnt work.

I simply posted a good setup that has been known to work and be reliable for a very long time. I think a good intercooler is a must...not a smaller used intercooler...Plus all the stuff i listed is easy to find...

Also, i sold that car, and the next two owners kept the same setup and actually turned the boost up! The last i heard about it (1/2 year ago) it was still running cherry. So thats going on two years.

[ludedude1992]

Heres my current setup:

DSM 2g Manifold
DSM 14B Turbo
Custom Stainless Steel J Pipe
Custom 3" Exhaust w/ 3" flowmaster muffler
FPR
RC 550 CC Injectors
Stealthmode Oil Lines
Type S BOV
2.5 Intercooler piping
FMIC
Chipped and Dyno Tuned P06 ECU
Water, Oil Pressure, Boost Guages
HKS Turbo Timer
Walboro 255 Fuel Pump
Cyro Treated Transmission
400HP Race Axles

I am getting the car re-tuned soon and am shooting for 240-260whp daily driver

[AstroVannin]

Yeah .... 2 years is a good run for sure.

For low boost, Im pretty confident in the SAAB FMIC, higher boost... yeah, probably not so much... but it would be on the short list of things to upgrade. I was at like 15psi on the hack Tercel. I just ALWAYS regreted NOT doing a good manifold the first time. SO, if I were starting from scratch, I would rather spend a grip on the turbo and mani, then upgrade the other stuff over time. IT alot easier to upgrade the intercooler at a later point in time (at least in my opinion).

Oh most def, on my original prelude turbo setup...i was running 390cc injectors, dsm sidemount, and a t25 turbo on 6psi, I ran it like that for 3 months then upgraded to 450cc injectors, fmic, and a ported big 16g on 10psi.

All Ive got left for mine is to get teh ECU chipped, but I think Ive got a guy, just need to make a call.

Otherwise.

WEIR mani
Volvo T3
DSM 450's
VDO boost gauge
Stealthmore oil lines
Peirsburg BOV
2.5 chargepipes + whatever couplers Weir's got
FMIC - (pretty big, I had it on the Tercel originally, will have new tanks though)
Stock trans and axles

Il probably get some kind of turbo timer, but havent got one yet.

I'm kinda aiming at 250 whp.

[Grounded]

you guys realize that log manifold dont flow much better them 90% cast right?
there both good to hit the 250 mark but there a reason why you dont see people hitting a hole lot more then that with logs.
