brandon hakki I've got a Hyundai Getz, 1.5 Crdi turbo diesel. It puts out 110bhp stock, I've got it aggressively remapped and got a free flow exhaust as well. It puts out around 160bhp now. Maybe a little more, It was 154bhp after the remap, I haven't checked after removing the cat cons and installing the free flow exhaust. I'm thinking of fixing a slightly bigger turbo, something that will help bump up my figures to 200bhp. I have 205 section tyre's already and am planning to upgrade my suspension soon. I don't have an endless supply of cash and hence would like to know, what Turbo charger would fit as a bolt on with no changes to the manifold etc. Do I have to install new injectors and a blow off valve? Can someone give me an estimate for the turbo supporting mods please?

I remember watching this 6-7 years ago and being sad I couldn’t do cool turbo upgrades and FMICs because all I had was a 03 NA Mazda 323F at the time. Now I’m on the other side. Got a sweet 2016 turbo sports car, FMIC, HKS BOV and just did a big turbo upgrade. You guys inspired me to always keep my dream alive and it’s not just a dream anymore. It’s real, it happened and it’s great!!!

hey guys, you should try out PB Blaster in future videos. It's supposed to be better than WD40 and I use it all the time. I never had luck with WD40, bolts would continue to strip off. So, my dad introduced me to PB Blaster and I haven't stripped a bolt since. It's a really good product. I'm not trying to advertise, but I'm pretty sure it could help you guys out with all the rusty cars you guys work on.

hcracer1985 cold air intakes , usually help with forced induction means like a supercharger , you don't really use them just in their own because you might make like 2hp but they are meant mainly to keep humidity out of your engine because that means less power and are bigger than stock intakes so you can have more air going in

Funny how the TD04 is considered a tiny turbo for nothing more than some punch down low on Subarus. On a Fiat/Abarth engine the TD04 actually a huge upgrade even from the 180hp setup, allowing for 250+hp.

@TheDopekid7 9 жыл бұрын

It is highly recommended that you do supporting mods when increasing boost but not necessary. It really depends but yes you are pushing your engine more by upgrading turbo

@danielgonzalorodriguez1032 9 жыл бұрын

angel olivares how would you do that!? I have a dodge neon srt4 with bov, bigger intercooler, slightly bigger injectors, waste gate actuator, throttle body 62mm, downpipe and diablo sport trinity tune. Stock turbo. If I want to get bigger turbo should I change something else!?

@TheDopekid7 9 жыл бұрын

Daniel Rodriguez Thats actually a pretty good setup to handle a bigger turbo and is what I meant by supporting mods. I guess I assumed you were going to upgrade turbo with everything else stock seeing as how factory turbo engines have intercoolers like you mentioned in your original comment. You're should watch the mcm vid of turbo supporting mods, more detail there

@RPXXPR 9 жыл бұрын

Daniel Rodriguez I'm not an expert, as I right this my car is at a tuner (I don't have the tools to remove the engine). However, my dad has taught me about cars since I was a kid, worry about Air Fuel ratio. If your running on the "lean" side it means you should have more fuel for the amount of air there is. Running rich isn't nearly as dangerous. Running lean leads to detonation, which leads to one final detonation. Always make sure you have enough fuel for your setup.

You do know that turbos don't have identifying numbers on them. Yes, they have a code that tells you the model, but there is no way to link it to a particular car or owner. They most likely ground the numbers off because they had reconfigured the housing, thus customizing it and making the identification number meaningless.

Would I have to pay a lot of money for a tune if I switched and upgraded the turbo to the VF? I also have an Accessport V3. Would I have to get the car tuned regardless, because of the swap from a USDM to a JDM?
