turbo on a stock f22a1

[IntensePressure]

im wonderin wat kinda turbo can i put on my car and how many lbs can i run and be safe and also wat size injectors am i gonna need and wat chipped ecu is best for a turbo application

[deevergote]

Did you take the time to look for these answers yourself, or are you just expecting us to spoon-feed you everything?

Basic setup: 14b or 16g turbo, 450cc injectors, p06 ECU tuned for YOUR motor. How much it can take depends on how healthy it is... it will eventually break one way or another. 8-10lbs with those turbos listed above is about all you should expect.

If you want further information, please show a little initiative and search on your own. We have an entire section on this site dedicated to turbocharging... with 8 years of very useful info. As specific questions, showing that you've actually put some effort into it, and you will get all the help you need.
Additionally, try typing using big-boy words, and perhaps a little punctuation. Otherwise, people are going to start ignoring you, assuming you aren't smart enough to understand the answers to the questions you're asking.

Welcome to the site.

I'll ask this here in hopes it helps the OP as well.

Is there any reputable place online to buy used turbos? Specificly DSM turbos. Basicly like the equivalent of hmotorsonline for turbos, lol.

[deevergote]

Not that I know of. The big DSM forums are probably the best place to go. Just do some research on the seller before you buy, as on any forum.

OR, buy a turbo with the plan to rebuild it. It'd be good experience anyway!

buy some forged internals 8:1 comp or 9:1 at the most and forged rods. The f22ax blocks have cast iron sleeves open deck. So it can handle a decent amount of boost

[IntensePressure]

ok thanks for dat info... nuy the way if yuh dont mind me askin wat is a open deck and closed deck sir???

[quickangel93]

open



closed



sleeved

[IntensePressure]

wow thanks alot that helped me out alot.... thnks for usin pics... now i know the difference

[deevergote]

I actually didn't realize that the F22A was open deck myself (the first thing I did to my car was swap an H22A in there, so I have limited hands-on experience with the F.) I just ran out to my shed where I'm storing my friend's F22A block to check it!

Open/Closed deck matters very little if you're boosting stock internals. The internals will give out LONG before the sleeves do.

Sleeved = pwnage

Sleeved = pwnage

I might have missed this, but what condition is your engine in to begin with? Also, turboing a car can get expensive real quick if you aren't careful, i suggest you create yourself a list of the parts you need/want and start pricing them. And lets say you go through with it, are you planning on installing it yourself, or what?

[drummersteve7]

reputable companies...

extremepsi.com deals a lot with DSM, Subarus all around.
I purchased a new EVO III Big 16G for $700. And housing for another $100
I use extremepsi because they deliver qualityt parts, ship faster and cater to the customer.
But if you call them you really need to know what your talking about.

Another company is CXRacing.com,
you can get cheap turbos, but again thats exactly what they are for like $200-$300.

My current engine is not in the shape for a turbo. It currently has 287k miles on it never rebuilt and i think it still has its original timing belt on it. I am planning on getting me another f22a1 as soon as i finish high performance and power-train at school which is in about 3-4 months. I wasnt planning on putting a turbo on my current engine. And yes i started making me a price list. Installation will probably be done my me with a little help from a friends that had experience with turbos. Tuning i will not be done by me.

good call on a different motor.
