S15 turbo....idea?

awd-drifter · 11-04-2005

I have my cousin's sr20det and now i have the turbo bolted onto the exhaust manifold. Right now, it's just sitting in my garage.
Question#1 : Can i put this turbo kit into any other car without customizing a the exhaust manifold? On the s15 turbo, it says Garett 60A/R and a tiny small number i think. I know there's a few oil lines here and there, but just for the hell of it, can i put this turbo kit into any other car? Hmm...just wondering, my brothers and i are still thinking about selling the turbo kit with a Greddy 2'5 w/3"muffler full exhaust system, but not sure yet.
Question #2 : there's a bolt in between the turbo and the turbo exhaust and printed on it says W T (i was guessing water temp?) and a number but when i took out that line connected to the engine, there was some kinda liquid coming out of it. Is it safe to take that bolt out?
I'm at school right now and will check later, thanks!

Umm, if it is a water cooled turbo, there would be a total of 4 lines running on it. There would be an oil inlet on the "top" of the turbo, a line about 3x the size of the oil inlet that would be the "oil outlet", and that would be on the bottom of the turbo.

For water cooled, there would be a coolant inlet and outlet line also. They would probably be on the "sides" of the center section of the turbo. These would more than likely be the same or close to the same size.

As far as can you sell it as a "turbo kit". Umm no. Turbo kits for cars designed not to have a turbo require a lot more than a turbo and a manifold to run. You need a RRFPR at the very least to do it right, as well as bigger injectors, and a whole crapload of other stuff.

thanks! yeah...im not to good about explaining it as a "turbo kit" but, still deciding on selling it. Thanks! Whats a RR in FPR?

Rising Rate. For example, for an 8:1 RRFPR, for every 1lb of boost it will increase fuel pressure by 8PSI.

So lets say you want to run 10PSI of boost, and you have an 8:1 RRFPR. You have to start out at base pressure, which is say 45PSI. So when your not under boost, there is 45PSI of fuel pressure. Now say you go into boost and get 10PSI of boost. You are essentially adding 80PSI of fuel pressure, giving you 125PSI of fuel pressure. This is definitely not a good thing, which is why you are supposed to upgrade injectors. When you do that, not only can you go down to a smaller increment on the rising rate, but you can drop base fuel pressure. This is all VERY in a nutshell, but gives you an idea.
