Any DD turbo builds ? F22Ax

[10thAnnivCB7]

Any members have any low boost set ups for the F22Ax ?

What would consist of a safe daily driver turbo set up for the F22Ax ?

Most of the builds here don't last too long and involve high PSI which is why I am asking.

The F22Ax engine was never designed for boost which will eventually cause a ringland to go. IMO if your not planning on running 9+ psi (on a properly sized turbo for the application), why do a turbo setup anyways, unless EVERYTHING was free?

If your not upgrading to forged internals the 'safest daily driver' would be a car with no boost. If you want to boost a stock block 'safely', I hope you keep a spare block on the side, and are willing to have the associated downtime, and resources (time, money, energy) to fix it when it 'blows up'.

You'd get more responses possibly if you posted in the right forum....


Here's a DD for you though: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=87819

A low boost DD would still require pretty much as much beefing up as a high boost monster.

Thanks for the link. I'll keep on reading.

I DD'd mine before I parted it out.

Read people MR's, do some research and come up with your own conclusions on whats best for you.



Fact is - Turbo DD is possible, but not totally reliable.
You NEED a second car just in case, Problems WILL happen - whether its a blown turbo, Broken ringland, boost leak, damaged wideband, The list goes on.

Thanks. I've been reading a lot. I'm planning to get a new car by the end of the year so I can work on the CB with no worries of not being able to get to work. Thanks again for the help guys.
