UncleDavid218 Posted November 25, 2006 Posted November 25, 2006 Yeah, but I'll bet you have a good aftermarket intercooler..If you don't then you should.Greddy FMIC kit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightshadow Posted November 25, 2006 Posted November 25, 2006 Ceramic can take the heat, Hell it is used as a binder on the Space Shuttle tiles. Tmod Wow, I did'nt know that. I believe this paticular turbo is a little more prone to cracking than that of the ct26, though the lightness=Faster spool which is a good thing for me.

Nightshadow Posted November 25, 2006 Posted November 25, 2006 Greddy FMIC kit Awsome. I wish I could get a front mount. As it is, to get a big one, I have to get a TMIC, since my engine is in the back Though I have seen a few guys with nice Air-->Water setups in the engine bay Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuoficr Posted November 25, 2006 Posted November 25, 2006 UD, your motor is made to be turbo charged in the first place, its alot different than say the SR20's in 200SX'x, they cant handle the boost on stock components, same as the engines in eclipse/talon non turbo and turbo. same engine, just made better with much different compression ratios. Its not about what your forced air can put out, but what the motor your trying to force it into can handle. Ive seen a BPR fail on a primarily stock H22A honda before, last thing the guy said was "holy crap this is fast for 5 pounds of boost" then he dropped 3 pistons in the middle of the street one of the most amusing things ive ever seen, but i didnt have any money in the car. Best bang for the buck for you provided all your O2 sensors/MAF etc etc etc are upto par is a single stage NOS shot, like 50-75 horse should be fine on most newer cars with very little modifications NOS is a catalyst, and depsite the BS in the fast and the furious is not by itself flammable, and detonation is normally only a problem in carburated cars since they cant compensate fast enough to make up for how lean the air/fuel ratio gets unless they are made fo rit.

Nightshadow Posted November 25, 2006 Posted November 25, 2006 1999 Oldsmobile AleroCatalytic Converter Brand: Magnaflow Any gains, better sound?? lol Im kinda car dumb Wait, are you talking about just "upgrading" the cat to a magnaflow one? If so, I don't see as to how it could hurt. You might get a little less restriction, which would gain you a couple of hp. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mihkail Posted November 25, 2006 Posted November 25, 2006 if you want better sound, then get a new cat and muffler. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nos is never safe it can explode by itself and kill you engine even if you are carfull. You need to richen your mixture as it provides O2 in addition to enery itself and the catalitic effect. You can have a nos only motor no gas needed and the engine gas can back flow into the bay for a nice pyrotecnic display though it is expensive. The O2 sensor loop can only go so far. If you plan to keep a car dont use nos unless you do it right with extra fule and rarly. Right now with the EPA laws engines are already lean to a fault it doesnt take much to go to far and creat hot spots and detonation. As to the blower I dont think you guys have any real Idea how much air a motor moves the blower would probibily restrict airflow under full load.

Nightshadow Posted November 25, 2006 Posted November 25, 2006 I think it depends on the engine, but it could actually give you a few extra horsepower. I have actually seen a dyno video where they gained like 20-30horsepower while testing with the blower duct taped to the intake hose. EDIT: As for NOS, I would never run it, unless I had an engine I wanted to destroy, in a fun sort of way Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splave Posted November 25, 2006 Posted November 25, 2006 well I was gonna do it but I couldnt find a big enough MAKITA racing vinyl for the side of my car so I didnt Anyone go to monroe or other muffler place for a performance muffler.
