a friend of mine wants to turbo his b16 without an intercooler. he wants to use a 14b turbo(6psi) and stock injectors/fuel pump. will he still need to tune his car with the stock injectors and fuel pump? i dont think it will be that hard to to and it should be kind of easy.has anyone else done this?
turbo with no intercooler
- Thread starter umair
- Start date
But the FMIC looks so awesome on a turbo car!
my friend had a graddy kit with no intercooler on stock s**t ran good no tune on like 6 -8 pounds.
its going to need a tune.. stock injectors will work.. someone on here is running like 8psi on stock injectors..
you should be alright i would def think about getting a tune though, my friend ran a t4 on his single cam, stock internals, arp studs, cometic head gaskets, and stock injectors i believe and he was running 10 pounds...not sure about stock injectors but i know it was strong and that was a sohc vtec soo
Tell your friend dont do a half assed job.
Buy the intercooler
Buy the injectors
Get the fuel pump
Get a standalone like (aem ems) or step down to obd1 and get chipped
Build from there
Start with a good base. Peace of mind feels better than a heavier wallet

if you already know then why did you ask?
definately agreed
Get the car tuned. The car will not run properly under boost without a tune. I don't even know how someone could sit and tell you that a turboed car will run fine on a stock ECU untuned because that is absolutely FALSE. When the stock map reads that 1psi of boost...that's it.
That isn't really true either. The intercooler cools the intake charge.
Exactly..... So how isn't it true? You just said it yourself. If the intake air isn't cooled, and its reaching the intake at exhaust temps, how is the car not going to over heat?
Try coming back when you have first hand experience like I do with it.
hah
you might want to check who you're talking to before you say stuff like that. this guy knows a few things
that sounds like something from a fortune cookie lol
If your going to turbo it do it right. Get an intercooler!!!!! You don't want to run into detonation just because you didn't want to spend the money on it. You should also definitely get a tune. Your car will not run like it should without it. Hell after my N/A build I had it tuned and it made a world of difference.
Your kidding right??
Well since you appear to want to be an e-smartass. The intercooler, like I said, cools the intake charge which will help improve the combustion efficiency(ambient air). The FMIC simply raises the det. threshhold so you can throw more boost at the motor....that's it. Running a car with no intercooler does not let air into the throttle body at exhaust temps...that is silly....but since you have "first hand experience" I guess you already know that.
Intake temps and engine temps are different. What your saying almost sounds as though you are implying that a non intercooled cars IAT would be the same as its ET.
radiator...
haha, ignorance...
