Hey I have to say that i really don't know **** about single turbos and what they require. I would like it if you guys could help me out while trying to learn about this. I never really paid to much attention to single turbo stuff honestly. So if I ask something in here that sounds wrong just please correct me. Thanks because Im a little slow sometimes. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/unsure.png



Ok first question.

What all is required to go from the stock twins over to single?



Manifold,Proper fuel,Correct plumbing,??? :rice:

j9fd3s 09-12-2002 07:47 PM

you need a manifold, the turbo and the piping. an fc turbo is almost a bolt in to an fd. the ic, and extra fuel you would need for a lot of power on the twins too

You need all the basic bolt ons, fuel system, manifold, downpipe, etc. An ignition and 3 bar map sensor is nice too for high boost, as well as suspension to put the power to the ground.

To do it right you need money, time and knowledge.



1. Turbo kit/ turbo, downpipe, wastegate, manifold, intake, bov, various hoses and oil lines.

2. Fuel managment system tuned to perfection to get the most out of the turbo without blowing up.

3. intercooler

4. injectors

5. fuel pump

6. boost controller, or use the wastegate spring

7. clutch that can support the power

8. good ignition system or amp

9. of course neccesary guages

10. (optional) Complete exhaust system (catback/midpipe) to make desired power

11. (optional) good rubber and driver skills to avoid the "first week wreck due to power"

12. did I mention money?

Yep...safe and sound. You going to the Tokyo Auto Salon With Rikki?...it'll be MONEY!

He you all need to make Van hook you up with a place to stay on base... He'll have to escort you every where you go and you'll have to put up with looking at his mug, but he can hook you up...

Yeah, but Ryan and Dave were so MONEY!...We had a blast in Rikkiville...You would've like it Chris!

fd3boost: if you go to japan and get a bunch of stuff cheapoer than here, that's one thing. i'm lost on all that air/army base hook up stuff. but, over here, while the comments above are good, you CAN do it cheap and set up a migration path from a basic setup to something more complex. example.



get a good small frame turbo of the rx6 or gt3540 or T04X type and manifold (~$2500). buy a good wastegate (~$450-500) then, upgrade your fuel pump to the best you can get (walbro, bosch, whatever @ ~$300). keep the stock pump, since it isn't worth anything used and run them in parallel. upgrade your secondaries by drilling (not recommended) or buying 1600's (~400). get the best rising rate fuel pressure regulator you can get ($300). i think you have a bigger IC and radiator already? (or, get them at ~$900 & ~$500). then, plug in a 4 wire o2 sensor (~$400-500) and hook up a wideband you borrow. using the rising rate fuel pressure regulator and relatively low boost, like 13-14 psi, you should be able to tune the air fuel ratio with the RRFPR adding fuel. it won't be as smooth as it would be with an aftermarket ems, but it will work fine. and, the cost will be very reasonable for the power you get, which should be in the 350-375 rwhp range. no bells and whistles, but efficient. -gordon

jspecracer7 09-22-2002 01:44 AM

I bought EVERYTHING needed to go single turbo for less than $4000.00 I'm talking EMS, 850 X 2 Primary, 1600 X2 Secondary, steel braided lines/an fittings, FP, FMIC, Radiator, Full Exhaust, Fittings, Clutch, Tires, PPF, Ignition, Turbo, manifold, wastegate...literally EVERYTHING. That's why Dave is saying "hook me up!"

if you ever want to know jack, let me know he lives across the street and is very informative

Fd3BOOST 09-30-2002 07:55 AM

There is always one funny guy^^^



Yea the parts involed are minimal but the parts just cost so ******* much for what they are. I just need injectors/pump/regulator/manifold/watsegate/and turbo according to Gordo. I have the rest of the ****. I know I can get 340-350 rwhp out of the stock twins. Rikki ghas already done it. When my car goes back together I will have the same damn set up. Then it's just tunning.
