Krzys Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Yeah that will always be quite the decision! As I would put myself in the noob category I'd play it safe and go for more expensive stuff! Shame I lost contact with a lad local who had built himself a boosted C4 in an EG! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame I lost contact with a lad local who had built himself a boosted C4 in an EG! Well you should find him again !! lol There are an awful lot of boosted c4's on CL .. Can nick some theories etc from them .. Its all about research and then knowing what it is you want i think .. If for example, what i think by what you've said you want, i wouldnt really see the need to spend 3k for a setup only to run 7-8 psi that capable of much much more .. Little over kill isnt it?? If your just wanting to incrase by 20% then a budget build might well be the answer .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Yeah I see what you're saying dude! Could end up bolting the snail on and necessary hardware to make it work and it may not need much more than more regular oil changes to keep it happy! 250bhp I would be happy with, probably make more from what I've read though! Suppose if it goes bang at that point I could look at updating bottom end parts for the retry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suppose if it goes bang at that point I could look at updating bottom end parts for the retry That's the sort of build I'm looking into mate Thing is, I'd think your like me in as much it's not going to be driven hard all the time. Not dragged or tracked regularly. Just the added "poke" for the open road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 You think correctly mate! Usually pot about to work on the days I do use it or I'm local anyway and with the this place is wired you won't get away with hooning in the City much so it's more for the open road getting up to speed a bit quicker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Even if your running 7-8 psi. Waste gate is letting out at 8 psi but turbo is still winding up to and producing max pressure. Don't think 250hp would affect the reliability of the engine itself much if tuned well and cooling took care of. Obviously a cheap turbo and affiliated bits may end up dieing a death if driven daily. But kinda to be expected. I think that's why racetech use td05 because it proven in the EVO etc. Obviously mitsubishi have to offer a warranty on an engine that's likely thrashed and not cooled down etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Still I think I'm jealous. Sold all my bits bar the turbo itself. Made a killing actually. Which was nice but still dream of boost 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Your EG would be seriously evil with boost! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 When you say about the turbo still making max pressure Jake, I thought the whole point in the WG was so that it didn't? Or have I mis understood?? X2 your eg would be a complete animal boosted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Oh and yeah your right with the td05 definitely. My only draw back is that it's a lot of money to spank in one transaction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
