Home made Turbo kits.

[ScienceVR6]

I'm toying with the idea of a low blow turbo kit on the golf, just to get it hustling a bit harder.
I'm thinking about using a turbo from a WRX, or 200sx, with a larger wastegate, to handle the exhaust volumes of the V6, and to drop the boost a bit, to around 4 pound. I figuered the standard maf could handle that in a draw though design, and the injectors would keep up. would need to chip it or somthing. that will be the hardest part i recon. I'm already running a full 2.5" exhaust system so thats fine.

I'd proply need an intercooler, but stuffed if i know how im gunna get into my bumper, its damn tight.

not aiming for massive power figures, just more tourque, a bit more power, and a consistant 14 sec quarter.

any ideas?

You can fit a vortec (vortech) charger without an intercooler at about 6PSI IIRC and get 300hp.

I have been in one and it flew!

but then i'd have to buy things.

I wanna make somthing.

I could probly stuff 6psi in un intercooled, that would help packaging, but can the stock injectors handle it?
h100vw, can you program VR6's?

what car could i steal a turbo from?

[Tim]

guys in the US use stock injectors at 6psi.
If you wanted to do it ghetto styles maybe look at a rising rate fpr? Not sure how the ECU would respond to that but i know some companies go that route instead of a proper ECU tune

i have had a thought, re turbo lag.

There wouldn't be any loss of power while the turbo is off boost, would there. I'm not dropping the compression, so it should make the same power when off boost, yeah? so when the turbo comes on, its just extra power and torque. so it SHOULD be the same car to drive quietly, then add throttle, gain power.

So in summery, the turbo lag would be negligible, and even when off boost, the car will be just as fast.

Am i right?

Put a puffer on it. More drivable, no lag. No heat issues. Don't have to modify your exhaust. A little vortec puffer would be the way to go imo. And it would probably be more fuel efficient for normal driving because the engine will be working more efficiently.

Custom-Code do chips for std VRs but I am not aware of them doing one for a forced induction one.

I think it would be tough for them to do remotely.

GIAC do the chip for the Vortech kits. They do mention larger MAFs and bigger injectors in this tuning guide.

so rather than tune the ecu, let the R R F R add more fuel?

best bet would be to mimick a pre packaged bolt on kit. that way you have a general guide as to what works and what does etc etc

[BL33SU]

mate!!

if your able to make up a cheap bolt on kit.. with maybe t25 or t28.

aslong as it works and doesnt blow up..

im gonna buy a vr6 the next day!

[ScienceVR6]

what kits are using what turbos?

what cars are using the same turbo's?

would the turbo form a VL work? its a 3.0L 6, so pretty close to mine.

I suppose the GT40 from a XR6 turbo would be excessive.

[Preen59]

Just get a low boost vortec blower kit or equivalent. Screw the shmurbo crap.

vr6 with a screamer pipe

oh ****!!!!!!!!!!!

hmm, T28, thats on the later 200sx yeah? they run pretty high boost standard, so one would think they could handle my V6.

Guna do some more homework.
