Thinking about tubocharging my daily driver


PsiBer

Recommended Posts

I was looking at my DD w-body and thinking "hmmm..." I have collected a number of parts from various projects over the years and maybe have the basic parts I would need to do it... I got to wondering what I could do to get a turbo on and functioning in an otherwise all stock configuration. Unfortunately, support for my vehile is scarce (Intrigue) but I do have extensive knowledge of turbocharging from my years of working on GNs and have learned not to dispise small (humble) beginings.

Sweet! Me and Rob (IronDogg442) have been designing a supercharged LX5. The problem I keep running into is tuning: DHP doesn't support it, and HPTuners needs the part number from an LX5 PCM to see if they can tune it or not.

 

I'd LOVE to see a boosted LX5 on these boards, even if Rob and I aren't first.

OK thats a roger, I have noticed a few limiting factors like the no currently avialble way to delve into the PCM you just mentioned... which is a total contrast to the GNs which were an open book practically from day one! there are a few good points like 9.2:1 compresion ratio and the FP reg is adjustable from the factory... there is one other thing that bothers me, as I got to looking around it occured to me... theres no blooming place for an IC! the stocker gets air for the rad under the front bumper! this engine bay is STUFFED! looks like Im also going ta havta go with a low mount on the turbo.
