Questions on low PSI Turbo

[mndude07]

The last time I talked to my ex (not too long ago), she told me she smelled gas, and immediately thought of that old POS shadow, and it's fuel leak.

You should buy it back and put a bottle on it. Then the forum can place bets on how long the motor lasts.


I'll buy you a nomex suit.

My friend's little brother had a turbo shadow that he boosted the piss out of... just slapped on a manual boost controller and cranked it up. That car was on blocks real fast.

Read learn and do the math. if this is too involved to deside if you truely need an intercooler or not then jsut stick one on there and dont worry about it. but be careful nto to oversize yor intake system when turbocharging. many peope do this and have poor results, which makes them believe superchargers are awesome. and they aren't Super's = ***(in my opinion) the only thing cool about them is their air flow is pretty static.

Based on my opinions(and many others) with a engine like the H22( or any variant of H engines) you should have an intercooler on there. Since their compression ratio is a full point higher than F's, their cyln walls are thinner(less of a heat sink), its doubtful that you would get a cheap turbo with a graph and efficiency rating good enough to forego an intercooler.
