Your low boost idea would be interesting to try if you followed Al's advice on getting the engine tuned. Try say 2 psi, but with an FI tune. It would be interesting to find out if the 2 psi power gain overcame the loss due to the additional back pressure from the turbo. I'm don't know enough to know that off the top of my head. But on this car I definintely wouldn't try it without changing the engine management. Either with a reflash or with the IntX. Rotorocks has done a remote turbo setup for his car. I think he's lost some engines, but I think he was running a lot more boost as well. |
considering that it can't even handle 65shot wet nitrous.......
I'd say...........1 PSI? |
PSI doesn't matter. It's airflow people.
And lets say you could even get away with "2psi" on the stock ECU, how the hell would you regulate your turbo to not make any more boost? You would need a big ass external wastegate, like a TiAL 60mm, if not twin 48mm w/gs. The cost to do this would be staggering, and to modify the PCM to actually let you make real power would only be $700 bucks. |
perhaps an electric turbo running 1 psi of boost would work with stock tune - perhaps .....

I just figured it would be a different subject to talk about, not going to try. I have a friend that has an old celica with a turbo setup and he doesnt have much done to it, just was seeing if any ideas were out there. basically turbo, waste gate, intercooler and guages? quite simple setup. dont quote me Im not a FI tech, obviously!
whats a remote turbo set up? a turbo not in the conventional place? |
haha elec turbo, funny stuff . . .

search blitz sc.
beers :beer: |
I wonder if people can use Blitz SC with another EMS, say, AP, or EMU, or F-Con V-Pro.

The only issue with the AP is MAF sensitivity. As long as you get a pre-compression 6" long straight section for the MAF, you're golden. |

like I previously said, haha good one on the elec "supercharger"
I checked out your link and really seems like a scam. the forum sounds fake and I viewed that video which claims to push 6 psi, the freaking engine is off! I could blow 6 psi with this hot air Im blowing as I speak. I want to see 6psi at 7000 rpms with the throttle wide open. It sounded quite weak also. Do you have one? do you seriously endorse this product? It looks like a joke to me, but that is my opinion with a quick review of your link? It would really be cool if something like that worked, just doesnt seem feasble . . . |
well I'll see your haha and raise you a hehe !!!!
No I don't have one and I don't endorse the product . I didn't even have a good search , this one I just googled . But for you to say it can't work is laughable . For a small power gain this can and has worked for people with piston engines . The electric SCs are ok on small displacement engines that don't require a lot of air - the problem being you need to seriously upgrade your electrics if you want boost for any length of time . This one looks like a more serious atempt .... http://www.turbomagazine.com/tech/04...ger/index.html |
