More Turbo ?'s




	1. What kind of cam should I think about running? (should I even
get a 
	different one?)


I believe a stock cam should be fine, I've seen and read many people
running stock cams and their getting really good power. You could always
try a asymmetrical cam. I'm personally running a 268/260 cam in my turbo
rabbit.

	2. What kind of PSI should I be looking at running?

Depends on the turbo your running.On a standard t3, you'll be running
around 15psi to get 200whp. Assuming all your fuel system and ignition
system is working fine. The SnS stuff should be ok.


	3. Where are my keys?

Tuning is the key. As long as your system is efficient, it should be
fairly easy to get 200whp. Just don't use a crappy restrictive
intercooler and you should be ok.

	4. How realistic is this for getting to the 200whp range?

Very Realistic!
	

	5. Is the TB off the G60 the same as a 16v or Audi 5k TB?

They all bolt on the same. But the G60 tbody has round inlets. You could
always plug up the unused one on the bottom of the tbody.





My setup right now includes a g60 motor as well, I have a ihi rhb5 at
the moment on it. And I'm running stand alone for my fuel system. I
don't have any ignition control though. Future plans for the coming
months is a t3 with a starion intercooler and water injection. Hoping to
break 220whp with water injection.



Below is a complete rip from the hardcore page and credit goes to those
guys

stage I 
200 hp the easy way with oem realability 
1.find a low mileage 8.5 comperssion 8v 1.8 old gti`s and golf will work

just fine.. 

2.a g-60 head or any digifant head will do..somtimes making a deal for
the 
head and fuel injection off a corrado,wich is what you need next.can
save 
money 

3.fuel injection from a corrado.the ecu harness and all the senors. 

4.a thottle body, with provisons for throttle switches such as a g-60 or
any 
late model golf gti or any 16v 

5.just about any garret t-3 turbo will do..good ones are on intercooled 
saab900s ,ford turbo coupes,volvos and mid 85-86, nissan 300zx about the
best one you can get.. 

6..a turbo manifold from 8v turbo.com they can supply feed and return
lines 
for oiling and a bolt on oil pan too.. 

7.ok now for the fun parts..a set of arp or simliar head studs. 
8.a corrado three layer metal head gasket. 

9.a garret stage 4 chip for a g-60 and a porsche 944 fuel presure
regulator 
and possibly a 260 degree cam.but a stock one will work fine. 

9.5 a blow off valve off a first generation eclipse or and aftermarket
one 
will work fine 

10.ok you got the fuel now and the boost ,you need something strong to
light 
it off 

go for a set of..audi 1.8t plugs they fit good and have a good heat
range.or 
stock g-60 plugs will work but are expensive. 

11.highly reccomened by me is a msd box..a 6a or 6al will work wonders
.trust me.you`ll love it. 

12.a good set of plug wires.highly reccomend magnecore 8.5`s 

13 a boost comtroller..I like manuel ones like hallman valve or one from

extreme motorsports..they are easy to make your self but even easier to 
buy..electronic ones tend to be confusing especially if this is your
first 
turbo project. 

14 last but not least an intercooler ones off an audi 5000 or even a a 
stock g60 work great or one off a starion or one of a volvo and of
course if 
you can afford it a nice spearco.Avoid using saab 900 intercoolers they
are a peice of SHIT. Unless they're modified to be a single pass IC.

ok time to assemble everything and double check your supply lines to
make 
sure have good oiling for the turbo....set all the spec back to the oem 
settings on the g-60 stuff and start off with about six pounds
boost..with 
ALL THE PARTS you should be able tun run 15-18 pounds of boost safely..a

halmeter or cyberdyne airfuel meter will tell you if you are lean or not

always try to maintian around 12.-1 a/f ratio..if you get too lean
(13.5-1 OR 
LEANER) back out of it..also always use premeum fuel.
