Turbo Selection

Ted, guys like you is the reason why I don't like to frequent forums anymore. If I wanted the whole "it won't work because you don't have a 13BT and T2 tranny speech" I would of just asked for that....I mean seriously?! This thread is about turbo charging a NA motor which has already been done safely by numerous people. It's what I have available so that's what I'm gonna go with. And what I mean by "somewhat decently tuned" is that it runs very well for not having been put on a dyno. The tune isn't perfect yet but it also isn't finished yet. I have a very firm understanding of how turbocharged systems work and are put together and practical experience to back it up-just haven't done a system on a rotary yet.

There is nothing wrong with the Megasquirt EMS and I have a lot of time and pride in building, wiring, and tuning my car with it and I believe that it is the best system out there, better than most any Haltech or other EMS systems. It has more features and can be used on virtually any engine combination that exsists. It also costs less than a Haltech does. I am one of the first people to run a stock unmodified CAS with full sequential fuel injection using a MS3X expansion board-and it works perfect.

But anyway, I don't need to explain myself to you cause because your approval or opinion of me doesn't mean dick. The only thing I'll apologize for was using the word "cheap". Your right, there's nothing about doing something like this that's cheap. Frugal should of been the word used. I don't have a problem with spending the money in the right places-just didn't want to waste money on the wrong things trying to build a good turbo setup (that isn't half ass). Hence the reason why I asked for advice on a forum that came highly recommended by others. I'm now questioning that...

Anyways, getting back on topic-I appreciate your advice djmtsu. I didn't think about all of the extra cost associated with running an aftermarket turbo manifold and the like. If people have had good luck with the BNR stuff that will probably be a good avenue to take. I will try to round up a stock S5 turbo and manifold in good shape and go from there.

Anybody have advise on good FMIC setups? Fabricate my own or does a good quality setup already exist?

Thanks,
Vincent
