Reliable F22 Turbo

[Jorgian]

Hello, Whats the best way to have a Mildly Built F22A1 with a Turbo set up and not have to worry about Blowing anything? Hah.

What work would need to be done
and how much do you think it would cost?

Whats The Best Route To Go?

Definition of the word mild

That all depends on your horse power goals. Most of us here have seen enough builds to know that one person's definition of mild is completely different then anothers.

Most of us can also give you a fairly complete modification list for a build depending on the desired horsepower / torque, driviablility, reliability and budget we are talking about.

Without numbers it is impossible to answer you question.

I will also add that if you are posting a question like this you are quite a long ways away having the knowledge you should have before embarking on this build.

How much power, what components you choose to use, how well you tune the ECU, how you drive your car, the condition of any old parts on the engine that remain un-replaced in the build... ALL of those things factor in.

When you put a turbo on an engine that was not designed for it, you are automatically increasing the risk of engine damage considerably. There's just no way around that.



I suggest reading everything you can. Read this forum. Read turbo forums. Read books, like Honda/Acura Engine Performance by Mike Kojima, and Maximum Boost by Corky Bell. Understand your engine inside and out, understand turbo inside and out, and if you can't quite grasp the ECU tuning part of it, find someone you trust that does understand that! Don't buy a single turbo part until you understand exactly what you're doing. That's the ONLY way to ensure the best chance of your engine's survival with turbo.

great advice man thanks, i dont know much about turbos but a buddy of mine does. i just wanted to see what people would say, im a long way from boosting my car right now but i will definitely check out those books. im not going to just slap on any part to my car or engine.

All depends on what mild is for you, but you could use dsm turbo components that are in decent condition for a low boost build and definitely purchase ARP headstuds, if you don't run too much boost this will be a pretty reliable build without having to upgrade any internals.

Your question can be answered by browsing the "turbo sub-forum" and PM those that have proven builds in your budget realistic range and significant mileage accumulated.
