Been working on this for a few hours a day for the past week. Hope to finish troubleshooting and have it tuned by this weekend.

 

nice!!! what's that "button" in the last pic for?

 

nice man, i love the autometer: cf series gauges. cant wait to see a dyno sheet.

 

NICE>>

 

The button is a knob, hard to tell though. That's the boost controller.

 

shit looks good man... congrats!!
more pics, more pics, more pics please

 

So did you just use an F-Max turbo kit on our 2.3 engine???

How much if i may ask?

 

Wish i could do a turbo swap like yours, but this should keep me happy. The car idles poorly right now and its loud as hell. I have to drive an hour with open downpipe and shifting below 3500rpms to get it checked out, tuned and the exhaust modded. Not really looking foward to that drive or the total $ on all that. Oh and there will be more pics when its done, dont worry.

 

Nice

 

I started off with a used FMAX kit that was missing some parts, which i purchased from TeamBlurryCL several months ago. That was $1570, but I upgraded and added a lot of the parts. Later this week when I have dyno graphs, I'll post all the mods and approximate cost.

 

well i don't know what kinda of boost your runnin but in the past another member with a 2.2 Turbo dynoed 253 whp @ 13psi. he only ran like 8 psi daily though. i dont know what happened to him. hope he is alright. he just dissappeared. niedejb was his name on here.

 

UGHHH! that engine bay is SICK!

looks like u got some serious things poppin off

 

thats some serious stuff... nice job

 

Damn, why is there no turbo/superchargers for teh 3.0CL? That would produce some whicked high whp.

 

i dont think so.

 

Sweet

 

your transmissions are weak

 

nice job

 

What are you using to tune the motor? That setup looks good.

 

Yeah one cause of tranny failure. Trannys take it too hard from the rough driving and the extra HP.

 

I'll let you know when and if it works

 

Made it all the way around the block today! Still have a shitty idle and check engine light but the oil seems to be under control now. Hopefully I'll make it to the dyno tomorrow and have some graphs for you tomorrow.

 

Didn’t niedejb have a 2.2? I heard that they can handle more boost because of the compression ratio (8.8:1) as opposed to the 2.3 (9.3:1). Then again I could be wrong....Anyhow, great job man, i hope you get your problems squared away.

 

,, congrats

i was thinking bout getting a h22, but you make installing a turbo sound easy, more info and pics about your ride please

 

You are totally correct. I dont plan on going over what the stock MAP sensor can detect, which is supposed to be about 12 but in reality is more like 10. Shooting for 8 for daily driving.

 

is your f23 stock?

 

7-8 sounds about right for daily driving

 

Hey Dale....got ur H22A put in yet?

 

If you're talking internals, yes.

 

hey jimmy
not yet, i have it at my friends shop in pieces
im working on my sound system currently and will start on the engine probably next month

holla at me,, lets meet up,,, 2night????

 

if i dont go work out tonight i'll hit u up dawg.

 

what do you have done to your motor

 

i think he meant that his engine internals are stock.

 

i still have to hook up my turbo Z_Z

 

You should not have TURBO in your name then!

 

sick bro

 

very soon mofo

very soon

 

Tomorrow's the big day. I hope I make the 90 minute drive to the tuner without blowing up, catching on fire, or getting pulled over (running open downpipe is a little bit loud). Best case scenario I will have some nice graphs for you all tomorrow, worst case I either dont make it all the way there or they cant finish the exhaust fabrication and tuning in one day.

 

post the sheets when your done

 

nice to hear man! i hope all goes well
