Re: T.E.A.R.S. - Turbocharged Engines Anonymous Relief and Support Thread
Dezod.com has everything you need. Nobody will want to really say whets safe for a stock engine since it may only hold 5 lbs of boost. Others could hold 12 - 14. There are just too many variables to say whets safe. I wouldn’t expect much more then 200whp reliably unless the engine is built. The reason for me saying 25 psi is that your question has nothing to do with the topic of this thread. You should really probably make a new thread and/or search to see what turbo setups other people are running.

see I started another thread and it got locked and was told to go here. and i search everwhere but when someone says "i have it turboed with 9PSI" they usually aren;t stating if the engine is built or not so I don;t know.
Re: T.E.A.R.S. - Turbocharged Engines Anonymous Relief and Support Thread
Jesus Christ, quit cluttering up the forum with your bullshit. If you actually searched and read through, I have about 91 pages of my turbo install which is running on stock internals at 9 psi.
Oh and I also have a complete list of what parts and where I got them to get where I am.
Everytime I look in a thread, you've posted some contradictory BS about this or that. This thread is for turbo'd members to support each with their problems. Not spoon feed the noob.

There's a good chance that I'm not going to answer your PM.

Jesus Clint... you are ANGRY. Just because you got your thread closed doesn't mean you gotta shut him down so quick! I didn't even get a chance to have a piece!

yeah so my drive shaft wore a hole in one of my boost pipes. fixed it with a radiator hose and worm clamps. took about an hour and a half to find it and fix it. this is like the second or third hole in three years. i need to get the whole system redone.
Re: T.E.A.R.S. - Turbocharged Engines Anonymous Relief and Support Thread
That was posted before my thread got locked. And after I've read through about 9 pages of contradictory posts and evidence of NOT SEARCHING by the OP. I actually wasn't angry this morning. But yeah I am now. More disappointed than anything. /threadjack

Re: T.E.A.R.S. - Turbocharged Engines Anonymous Relief and Support Thread
When I was a newb I searched and read posts for days before I would even ask any questions because chances are its been asked and answered before. Aaaah the good old days…. I'm going to say it again RIP 7thgen :sad:
The remaining members who actually do give a shit don’t want to waste time to sift through off topic posts in threads that could otherwise be important! Either find a dead thread and bring it back if it hasn’t been answered (it has many times so don’t) or READ THE FAQs. Maybe if enough people bitch you will get the point.
Ok back on topic!
I haven't had any problems with my turbo setup except for blowing a couple charge pipes and the brake booster vacuum line after upping the boost. FUN FUN!

Re: T.E.A.R.S. - Turbocharged Engines Anonymous Relief and Support Thread
So, here's my latest, semi-duplicate post of problems.
Leakdown test says this:
Cyl #1 - 8% loss
Cyl #2 - 25% loss
Cyl #3 - 20% loss
Cyl #4 - 8% loss
Hopefully just the HG. Alternator occasionally freaks out from getting too hot on the track that day. Voltage is not stable (13 - 14.1 occasional fluctuation), so it throws everything off. That's it for now. Once I replace the head, I'll run another leakdown to make sure my rings aren't blown on 2 and 3.

Re: T.E.A.R.S. - Turbocharged Engines Anonymous Relief and Support Thread
Alright I'll post mine. I bought my intercooler and my piping from dezod. my downpipe i got made custom by a local shop, i had to go back four times for the welds would not hold!! I put my used turbo i bought on ebay on and it leaked oil, so i bought a new one!! got the turbo checked and didn't realize that the gasket for the oil return line had no hole in it so the oil could not go anywhere!! then I am running five pounds right now because I do not know how to put the rsx injectors in they won't fit, can someone help??
Re: T.E.A.R.S. - Turbocharged Engines Anonymous Relief and Support Thread
Dude. Are you running 5 psi on stock injectors?! You're asking for trouble if you haven't already gotten it in the form of serious detonation from leaning out.
RSX-S injectors are drop-in , you just need to stack some washers on the little black spacer to double the height (like having two spacers) and the rail fits back on. I replaced the stock studs with longer ones (or you can use a bolt with the same thread pitch) because I think the stockers are a touch too short.
