cheap 3.2 turbo conversion

[YermanCars]

Souk will come out with a great system, but the funny thing is

That the first 3.2 turbo project to come out of motomotions will have 550+rwhp

you will need a new chip and a rising rate regulator

[B]Don't need no stinkin intercooler for apps under 8.5 CR and 9psi and the right fuel.

Pump it up!!!

Very foolish not to run an I.C. Even more so when the engine was not a factory turbo design. What you save by not purchasing an I.C. will cost you dearly later! So I have to agree with those that advise to use caution. What ever the case I dont recommend exceeding 1.0 bar of boost on an air cooled motor. PERIOD.

A stock size I.C. is far better than no I.C. and I have seen stock ones sell for less than 100.00 here with plumming.

Just my .02 as always, for what its worth.

Geez, ricer intercoolers are a dime a dozen on fleabay probably less at Pomona

[juan ruiz]

32 psi of boost still going strong

[Gumba11]

Can you expand on that? Give the curious a list of your present set up? 32psi??? Sounds like a recipe for a very large and expensive explosion.

thats stand alone management, fire ringing, studs, pistons, rods, cylinders, and up the in methenol boost levels ah that stuff runs so cold....

I've been pestering Souk once a week, I told him he should get a mailing list and send teaser photos out.

Tsuter has had the turbocharger on his originally N/A car for somewhere in the range of 20 years, without an intercooler. Call it foolish if you want but it is proven and it works. If it was an unreliable set up he would have found that out by now. He isn't the only one on the board running that kind of set up either.
Would an intercooler help? Sure, a little. Is it necessary on his engine? Nope.

Juan Ruiz has been running very high boost levals for a long time w/ great succes.

The only can of worms opened up is all of us following his steps as he was one of the first 3.2 turbo's on the pelican bbs 5 or 6 years ago

I am very curious as to what Stephen at Imagine will have to say about this when I tell him after I do my EFI I would like to play with more boost! This sucks. Now this has me thinking again! Scary!

Juan's engine is an exteme, not even close to a "typical" 3.2 turbo conversion. He has more money in turbo swaps than IA charges for a complete engine.
