at what psi do you have to change your fuel system
i was reading about turbo on how stuff works
they where saying that a car with fuel injection can increase the fuel on it's own when there is more air going in to the cylinder
but if the boost is to hi it will fail , so how much is to much boost for the stock fuel system?

One way to decrease turbo lag is to reduce the inertia of the rotating parts, mainly by reducing their weight. This allows the turbine and compressor to accelerate quickly, and start providing boost earlier.
what the hell is INERTIA? i don't understand this at all

go back to howstuffworks.com instead of jumping into turbo right away, go to basic engine theory and go from there.

well if you ask a dumb question like: at what psi do i have to change my fuel system, youre gonna get an answer like that and you shouldnt be asking. if you dont know what inertia and such is then you need to do what handles said. www.howstuffworks.com hit it up and learn.

the problem is not that i dont know the answers to your questions (i do) its that, 1. you dont understand your questions- you said yourself you dont understand inertia, which is middle school science class material. 2. if i answered your question, you wouldnt understand the answer because you dont understand the initial question. and one more thing, i run this website, dont patronise me and tell me why i am here.

handlebar just :ownded: you. Definitly go read basic engine theory. Hopefully after that you will be able to put two and two together and answer your own question.

:no:



there is a lot that goes into a turbo setup . . . if you dont know, the greddy turbo kit (like todd said) is got everything you need, you could even install it yourself its not very hard, just time consuming. . . and after trial and error with that kit you'll know a lot and time to move onto the big kit ;) (and maybe even a better motor while your at it . . . Bseries > Dseries)

buy a kit, buy a kit.................... :roll: :roll: :roll:
u f**ken rich boyz make me sick
f**k A KIT
GREEDY KITS COST 3K AND DONT EVEN COME WITH A f**kEN INTERCOOLER

and to answer the poor guys question:
the stock injectors on a civic are 240cc which are pretty much at the limit of the engine in naturally aspired form. u can probably boost 3 psi if u do the coolant trick but 3 psi is not worth the time or money. and if u get bigger injectors u gotta either chip ur ecu or get an afc because the stock ecu will still think u are running 240cc injectors

i don't know what the big deal is with you
3 psi is what an engine can handle like ravage 70 said
by the way i am german and there are some words i don't understand like inertia
yes i could have found out about it my self but i was writing the thread about the psi
and put that in there as well
i ask questions like this because i like to hear different opinions
what i want to know is how you guys handle the turbo lag , what is your set up
but think i won't get a straight answer out of you and will get flamed
i will drop this thread now because i am wasting mi time

I have one thing to say about the homemadeturbo site. HACK! Did you guys see that? I'm definately getting the Greddy kit so i don't have to piece it together. I've found Greddy kits on Ebay WITH an intercooler for under $3G's.

to properly build a kit man. im not saying you cant go to a junk yard and piece something together for that price. but if i build a kit there is gonna be a NEW clutch, NEW turbo, NEW BOV, and NEW wastegate... anything else can be used... props to you for being able to do it so cheap.

Very true. To do a custom set-up properly, and not expect anything to blow up, you have to spend the money. Trust me, I know from experience what happens when you use cheap parts.
