Turbo and Superchargers

To turbo a 5efhe your best option would be to

Forged roads for a normal 5efe

Forged Piston's for a 4efte

Manifold to suit a 4efte

turbo to suit manifold

Downpipe to suit turbo

Oil sump and oil filter housing off a 4efte

4efte rocker cover and inlet (makes pipework easie)

Use engine loom from a 4efte and ecu from a 4efte

Gearbox and shaft are of the same size the 4efte shafts have bigger cv joints on them..

This is the basic there is loads more you can do for more power etc :) Hope this helps

it ain't got one

its not properly cooling, You should double check the oil lines running from your engine to the turbo, and then check the exhaust to see if there is a blocked catalytic converter.........you should always work on the exhaust before you get crazy with a turbo, all that hot air needs a fast way out.

To install a turbo boost gauge on a Subaru twin turbo Legacy, first, select a suitable location for the gauge, typically on the dashboard or A-pillar. Use a T-fitting to tap into the boost pressure line, which is usually found on the intake manifold or the vacuum line connected to the turbo. Run the gauge wiring and vacuum line to the gauge location, ensuring all connections are secure and free of leaks. Finally, test the gauge to ensure it accurately reflects the boost pressure while the engine is running.

Depends on how much you can fabricate yourself, and how cheap the turbocharger is. On a budget using used parts, a turbo setup can be cheaper. but for a bolt on kit, the supercharger is the cheapest. A good turbo setup is the most expensive.

It depends very heavily on how you drive. If you drive a turbocharged car gently, never going past 4000 on the tachometer, then no. That is the main advantage of a turbo over a supercharger.

When you do go past 4000 RPM's however, the turbos kick in, forcing more air and fuel into the engine, giving you more power. Naturally, since you are getting more power, you are using more fuel.

In mixed driving, turbocharged cars will tend to get only 1 or 2 MPG less than their non-turbo counterparts, as opposed to superchargers which affect the efficiency greatly.

in some cases (such as the golf gti) the turbo will return slightly higher HIGHWAY fuel economy numbers, simply because in situations where you need to accelerate, you don't have to down shift in the turbo when you would in the car without the turbo.

i run mine at 20psi with an intercooler, stock it 11.5psi. runs fine on 20psi completely stock apart from 2.5" exhaust

A supercharger or blower is an air compressor that is designed to blow more air into an engine. By forcing more air into the engine, you will see an increase in horse power and torque.

Here is a link that I personally think will give you a better understanding of what a supercharger is.

if your mini is the non-turbo version, most likely it is caused by a loose gas cap. if your engine is running a bit sluggish or rough, it may be the valvetronic motor drive. although the best way to find out is to take your car to the nearest mini dealer.

This all really depends on the car it is going on and how much boost you are seeking to produce.

The most common parts are:

* Supercharger Head Unit * Supercharger manifold or bracket * pulleys * belt * FMU or Fuel Injectors * By Pass Valve * Fuel Pump or Boost a Pump * Boost retard box, ECU reflash, or hand held programmer Here is also a link that explains it more:

no...... you tear the engine up

You don't have enough oil pressure. Put more oil in your car. Or even better yet, change your oil. You probably should have someone do it for you because you would probably hurt yourself. I hope your not driving in my town.

I had an oil change two weeks ago

First thing is: You don't want to add either of them to A stock motor that did not come with it. The compression will be too high. All motors that have those items from the factory are lower comp. than non-boosted motors.

As far as which is better, Its A jusgement call and your decision based on preference.

A turbo has its benefits for simplicity once its installed. A supercharger has its benefits for looks and sound,

Disadvantage of turbo is LAG, where super is instant.

Disadvantage of super is it robs more power than turbo.

I don't know the numbers on A turbo system but on A supercharged motor if it produces 1700 HP. It only gives up 1400 HP at the end of the crank. It takes 300 HP to run the super.

From jksracing if u run the boost(psi) at 3-5 ure engine should b fine and u only get turbo lag witha really big turbo get a turbo that is crafted 4 maken up 2 275-300 hp and u should b fine and turbos have a bov(blow off valve) that sounds good 2 superchargers kinda whine a lil but its all a personal preference ive done both and i like turbo a lot more and u also have the option of sprayen(nos, nitrous oxide) which is cheapest and u have NA(naturally aspiration) which is increasen the displacement of the engine the most expensive

One way to make Vista faster is with a neat technology called ReadyBoost. Almost any thumb drive you use or memory card can be used to activate ReadyBoost, which acts as a memory cache for files the system wants to keep open and running at faster speeds than any hard drive can handle. You pop in your hard media, like the thumb drive or memory card, to an available USB 2.0 port, and the computer should prompt you right away if you want to use the device for ReadyBoost. You choose yes and choose the amount of space you want to dedicate for its use. More suggestions... Adjust the performance and take away all the uneeded graphics vista uses, or put xp home or pro on it instead

supercharged

If boost pressure is too high or intercooling fails or if the turbocharger seizes causing excessive exhaust backpressure, then yes, very easily.

Have you tried contacting CAT perhaps they could better answer your Question.

Hope this Helps.

No. The turbo needs to be rebuilt. Basically, the bearings and seals in the turbo have worn out, allowing the engine oil that typically flows through to leak into the burning hot exhaust. This often causes excessive oil usage with accompanied smoke from the exhaust.

You need to measure the torque of the engine. This is best done at the rear wheels using a rolling road dynamometer. You will get a readout giving the torque throughout the rev range. To convert torque into bhp do the following calcluation:

bhp = (rpm x torque)/5252

Compressor surge is when the air pressure after the compressor is actually higher than what the compressor itself can physically maintain. This condition causes the airflow in the compressor wheel to back up, build pressure, and sometimes stall.

Common conditions that result in compressor surge on turbocharger gasoline engines are: * A compressor bypass valve is not integrated into the intake plumbing between the compressor outlet and throttle body * The outlet plumbing for the bypass valve is too small or restrictive * The turbo is too big for the application

No, a 1.8 L4 SFI SOHC 8v engine is not a turbo engine. "SOHC" stands for Single Overhead Cam, and "8v" indicates it has eight valves, while "SFI" refers to Sequential Fuel Injection. Turbo engines typically include a turbocharger, which is not indicated in the description provided.

There are extensive modifications needed for a turbo. Turbo engines are built for the extra punishment that a turbo puts on the engine, this usually means stronger pistons and rods, lower compression, a knock sensor to pull timing when detonation occurs, and different cam timing for forced induction, etc. On top of that, forced induction means you will be flowing much more air and you need to make sure your fuel pump, injectors, fuel pressure regulator, MAF, and ECU are all up to the task. The bare bones parts would include: turbocharger All oil and water lines for the turbo and a place to "tap" them exhaust manifold downpipe intake piping intercooler knock sensor blow off valve boost controller Probable parts include: Larger injectors Higher capacity fuel pump different fuel lines fuel pressure regulator External wastegate (to maintain the lower boost that a higher compression NA engine will have to have) ECU modifications (fuel management) different cams Start saving up for: Engine rebuild (stronger lower compression pistons, rods, etc) A stronger clutch Transmission rebuild Often the expression is quoted, "Save yourself the frustration, sell the car, buy a turbo car and come out way ahead."
