Turning Up The Boost

[TheBlizzard]

JOE P MBC is the best bang for you buck. 45-50 bucks and they work great for what they are.

CRAIG

Home Depot? That gave me a good laugh. HEY TOO FUCKING BAD THEY DON"T SELL TURBOS AND TRANNIES THOUGH?

WTF!!!! :bs:

They dont have turbos, but put a few leafblower motors together and you have yourself a damn nice supercharger! 7's this year for sure! :headache:

Dont remove the bcs nibble. I did that a long time ago....1-2psi my ass. My car was hitting damn near 20psi on my T25. Dont do it. And like Chris said....DO NOT MAKE YOUR OWN. If you dont mind your car going to shit.....go for it. Otherwise dont do it. I went through Elite and got mine for $30. My boost gauge was about the same. Matter fact, I have a spare one laying around. So if your interested, pm me.

You already own a DSM. People with stock DSMs have a hard time keeping them running. People that buy the best parts for DSMs have an even harder time keeping them running. You have a DSM and want mod it with parts that your making, and hope to keep it running? Don't be dumb, listen to the DSM experts that we have on this forum.

Just goto elite and pick one up. It's faster, just as cheap as a JoeP, and it's local.

Homemade mbcs do work Chris. Ask 1FAST14B. He was running 12.1 on a 14b and a homemade mbc. You should get a k & n filter, exhaust, and boost gauge before you turn up the boost. Call Elite, they probly have some mbcs laying around and maybe a gauge for you. They could order you an exhaust. If you have a 1g, checker carries k & n filters. Call first though to see that they have it in stock.

Ye you can make your own, it just has to be perfectly made with all the right tools and shit. Picking up some parts at Depot and slapping them together isnt going to work too well.... If you have all the tools and know how to do it more power to you...

I have made and sold many many homemade MBC's in my time. Never got a complaint, only praise on how well it worked. Sometimes it takes a bit of playing to get the boost set dead on, but when its done, it worked flawlessly.
But, no home depot for me, only ACE hardware. lol

IMO, if you want cheap performance, get a KNN, full exhaust, and do porting. screw the intake pipe, ic pipe. there nice, but you still can run fast without them...ask cher! 95+ manifolds are ok, but i ran just fine with my ported 1G.

i think cost to make a single MBC was like $7?

Everybody should buy fishtank bleeder-valves and use them as boost controllers...since they get the job done, they must be good!
