o dont worry dyingwish when this project gets underway you were the first person on mine and yamahas list to call up when we had a problem lol but when i turbo it i only plan on running like maybe 6psi through it is there anything i have to do the motor besides maybe injectors?
see thats all it really is its a daily driven 4dr honda civic i take it to carrick high school which is 4 blocks from my house and when i leave school i drive an additional 6 blocks to my work my car doesnt leave a 10 block radius except for on sundays sometimes thats the only reason i considered an SS Autochrome turbo kit they’re relatively cheap and seem to come with everything i’ll need to turbo the car
I think you have it backwards… driving a mile and shutting it off is going to be the worst on a cheap turbo setup. Improper warm up and cool down destroys even the best of the best turbo kits. I’m sure it isnt going to be warmed up, your going to spool it in every gear, then shut it off. This is what kills turbo cars and puts bad names on parts.
A friend of mine bought a ssauto kit and on his first day to work the cheap mani got so hot it caught his stupid carbon fibre hood on fire. Then after he put that out, ripped it off and stuck it in his back seat… the turbo died before he made it home. It had an oil leak from very early on and slowly started leaking more and more until it was a smoke screen behind him.
This was with stock injectors and the wastegate wired open with him babying it so as not to build boost until we could basemap it. (and yes we had all the charge piping on so we didn’t overspool the turbo). I even put an oil restrictor in line cause I heard that would save these junk turbos.
here’s another example of improper turbo use. Dont blame the kit for what the installer doesnt know how to do.
wastegate wired open = excessive heat = fail
im not blaming, just pointing out things
