Forced Induction Turbo is in Gents! 7A-FTE

Turbo is in Gents! 7A-FTE

After about 2yrs and $6k, the turbo is finally in and up and running! Talk about sweet. Nice and quiet and then also loud at the same time. My dream finally came true. It runs off the greddy emanange. Many thanks to my friends, Mike, Derrick, Carlos, and John for all the help with the install. And of Course a huge thanks to my Sarah, for putting up with me through it all!

Well fellas, here it is!

Do you know where I can get my emanage dynoed?

sweet look at that thing

great job

sweet deal man!! love teh turbo, i might have to come down to maryland one day, can't take that long to get here from South Jersey

i wanna see a video ASAP!!

Awesome!!! :thumb:

What are the details? Turbo? Intercooler? Boost?

nice job steve, thumbs up from me.

Awesome! You should post up more detailed pics if you can...
Congratulations.

thanks fellas, i will post up all info as soon i get it dyno tuned!

yea!!! i second that...

I third that too and well man congrats dude, nothing like boost man lol

soooooooo am i gonna get to check this out on Tuesday?

nice

Yes, Laura if you come by on tuesday it will be there b/c im installing new stiffer motor mounts. Eric, I am trying to avoid EIP Tuning b/c of the fact that two years ago, I went up there to get an oil pressure gauge and a/f ratio gauge installed and they took 2 days to do it. Not to mention they hooked it up to the wrong wires, and I had to go back and fix it myself. So unless you are really confident in your boy, I dont need them messing up my motor. If you would like to go there with me to make sure I dont get f'ed over, that would be cool! Well if anyone wants to check out the motor, just let me know when you have some free time and I will try to meet up with you somewhere. As for running mike, i'll hit you up when i'm tuned.

ok will do

you know I heard soo many bad things about them but if you say they are better... i dunno...

All the places ive seen and been to in maryland honestly suck.... Im eventually just goign to rent the dyno and try to tune it myself... I paid a decent ammount at altered atmosphere which wasnt to bad even though I heard bad stories....

The problem is he tuned it a/f which resets on our cars... so I need to retune....

Maybe we can get a few people who need to tune and pool our money and rent the b*tch for a day or something!

well lets just see how jeperformance does on monday, and go from there!

What turbo do you have on there? Any idea what power it might be making? 200whp would be great.

Here's one of his runs at 5psi.

That's hot. I've heard about 5 psi is all the 4afe and 7afe can handle without forged internals. Anyone else heard differently? Just curious how much power we can get out of it.

10psi daily driven by some people.... 12psi on the track has blown motors

BUT it all depends on what turbo you're running, what the cfm rating is, how much pressure, and how well it's tuned.....

little tip here.... don't hit your BRAKES on the dyno.... let the weight of the water & rollers slow your wheels down

i'm guessing that was somewhere around 130whp?

wat! 5psi and only bring out 150whp...
I'm sorry but that's not worth the money man

what are you talking about? as soon as he drops in his forged pistons and rods, he'll crank it up and get much more power. he can't run it very high right now because his transmission is in need of a rebuild first (it's slipping at high RPMs).

trust me he won't reach 200 whp man.

What evidence makes you say that?

I think vortex is running 236WHP. I know LosX is running 230WHP at 7psi. Man does my car feel uber slow when I'm driving behind him.
