What Turbo to get?
 

So I'm kinda lost on what turbo to get.

I originally was going to get Crawford's plus 100 since their shop is like 10 miles away from me. (In case something didn't work or whatever) But after searching about what people thought about Crawford on the forums i'm not really liking the idea of getting a crawford turbo now :/

I've never owned a car with a turbo and don't really know about engine longevity ect. What I'm looking for is a turbo kit that's bolt on and will give me an extra 100 hp + torque, but I want my engine to at least last 50k.

Any suggestions?

(Sorry if I worded anything like an idiot, I'm not as much of a car guy as I want to be.)

I'm going to make some popcorn. This should be interesting.

Where to begin....at lest you searched a bit.
Keep on searching, Ask google, dig around the forums under "forced induction"
There are lots of turbo kits that are bolt on. Just keep doing your research on which to buy. Asking which turbo kit is like asking "what kind of underwear should I buy?"

If you're really not sure about engines and turbos, learn all about them. If you don't want to, don't turbo your car. Sell it and get a car with all the power you want in stock form.

p.s. I think you sound a bit of an idiot when you say your not a car guy.

if only there was a section of this forum dedicated to force induction.




oh wait...

yeah you sound bit of idot. but at lest you search.

It's like some people come on this site to be complete ****s to other people just to empty out their bottled up anger...

I was actually coming on this site to make fun of the people who make fun of the people.

In all seriousness what is your price range? Concern with quality? plans for the kit (DD,track,ect)?

I have an srt8 charger(not that fast of a car) as a daily driver, and I only bought the frs for a tuned experience. I guess I'm just having trouble getting started. I'm not asking without a couple days of research :) I first googled the fundamentals of forced injection on high compression cars and then tried looking for the math behind turbos but I'm not too sure how to calculate the damage caused by the excess of heat; but again I still have a lot to learn :/

To restate my original question i guess in three points:
1. Is Crawford worth my time?
2. Are there any turbos that compare with the Crawford plus 100 that you guys are dead set on, ie: fullblown stage one base, ect.
3. What are the lifespans of cars with the turbos with moderate psi, or if you have any equations to calculate stress on the boxer engine

I apologize, I could have used the forum just for direct injection. I'm sure the mods will move the thread if they see fit

I'm wanting to stay under 6k just for a kit, and quality does mean a lot to me. I plan on going to a track every now and then but it would be a daily driver once all the work is done on it. :)

If I was you .... I would seek out the owners of FI twins who have the most FI miles on their cars. They would be happy to share the type of FI, tune, how driven, etc, etc.

To compete to be****

Crawford is ok from what ive read. Lots of heat though.

Looked at SC yet?

Get a Turbo Bug or go home.

No, Can't say I know who sc is

Lol at a supercharger. I been eyeballin Cosworth stage 2 pack myself. Turbo is more techy imo with codes and such.
