what turbo to use? dsm or stock?
i bought a ej20tt engine for my 95 legacy and am very aware of the "difficulties" in instal but i wil persavere by changing it to a single turbo design. i already have a ej2.0t jdm in my car now. i was thinking 2 things
1. Change over the turbo setup on one engine to another in essense getting rid of a twin setup they do it all the time w supras and junk.the setup on the original jdm ej20t is 12 pounds of boost at lo ans 15 at hi making 211 hp. th estock turbo runs 7 pounds. i have been assured that i can "run 17's psi all day long" i have a greddy boost,safc2 fuel cut and a wms o2 sesnor. plus a bosch ful pump. i have been actually havign to cut back my fuel. wierd huh? i have a post abou tit in the conversion section.
or i was thinking about slappig a good reliable dsm turbo on there all my buddies run talons eclipses what ever. but there turbo stuff is cheap! 500 bucks or so for a turbo ain't bad. what are my pros and cons? i only want to run 276 hp . nothign fancy.
will dsm turbos fit? assume a shop can fabricate some sort of connection. if we can get to the moon this can't be too hard.
"not to be a jerk bu ti don't want to hear about wiring harness this or that unless it is absoutly nessacary." i know i am interested in the turbo aspects of teh job now. has any body ever made a ejtt to a ejt? and how so,what turbo
her is my other post if it helps or not.
