i want 2 boost my car but i have a couple of probloms.

1. i have like 108,000 miiles on my car it that gunna effect my boost?

2.i have no clue what i wanna run turbo wise any good sugesions

and is it true u can run 10 pound on stock interinals

 

I ran 10 lbs on stock internals for about a day and turned it down. I have 82,000 miles....but i wont even turn mine up past 8 even now that its tuned.

wouldnt recomend it.

Honestly, buy a turbo kit for the car...i may have saved some money peicin mine together, but it was such a headache....actually now that i have upgraded the whole fuel system, i really didnt save any money. Buy a kit off someplace that makes them for our cars.

I believe tim was running 20 something pounds on all stock internals. some one will chime in with exact numbers. you can run 10 safely if tuned well. As far as what turbo to run, it depends on what you want your power curve to look like and how soon you want max boost. go buy corkey bells maximum boost, it's a must if you want to boost your car.

 

Having over 100,000 miles, I would first do a compression check. It should come out good, but it would be best to check anyway. Also if you are new to turbos, it is better to just buy a kit. That way you know all of the parts fit and work well with each other. Then you could upgrade from there. Also I would not recommend 10 psi on stock internals. That is absolute max on just about any stock engine. You have to think that you engine is NA from the factory, so it probably has a high compression ratio. A low compression ratio is better for a turbo or supercharged application. I would go about 8psi like stated above. I hope this helps you out.

 

10psi is not absolute max with stock internals. You can go above 10psi ONLY with proper tuning. fing02.gif

 

i wouldn't do it if i were you. i always gtell this to folks who aren't familiar with turbos just pick up a book from boarders book store on turbos spend a month reading it and then you'll know 50% more than the people on here including me.

i wouldn't even mess with a hyundai engine after 100k although it would probably work it would lead to problems later on down the road. what's boost when it only lasts a short time.

turbos for our cars require high maintenance. unless you are prepared and can afford it forget it!

 

also you can try to search, there are trillion similar threads already discussed here with part lists.

 

You got alot of learning to do man, grab a copy of maximum boost and get reading, then do some research, read max boost again, and then start looking at turbo kits.

 

^Ditto X100. Id def. read up before doing anything, otherwise you will be in a lot of trouble if things go wrong.

 

first thing is always research. as for the 10 pound limit, that has been proven over and over not to be true. tuning is key. jon was running 17 psi on a completely stock junkyard motor. he was using the prs4 standalone to tune it. you can boost big numbers but the tuning has to be perfect
