for this, kit is it neccessary to upgrade the stock clutch?

rhythmnsmoke

^^I would say upgrade the clutch for every F/I application putting over 230whp. Which is pretty much all the kits except the TRD S/C.

Turbonetics warranty on the kit is NOT void even if you raise the boost. The warranty for the kit remains no matter what, race, daily driver, whatever. Its a true "No fault, No hassle" warranty

TimmyT

and I <3 turbonetics for it. :D Street racing. drag racing. auto-x. you bought it... you broke it.... They replace it. :D

MIAPLAYA

Exactly :D

how much hp can a automatic tc handle??

MIAPLAYA

Thats a good question. I don't know if anyone has tested the limits of the stock auto trans.

ok, my question is, can the Turbonetics Turbo in my car increase 400 horse? if so then what should I get to increase from Turbonetics? bigger injector, new emanage, what else? I just want to get an idea but I'll leave the 300 horse alone for a while until I decide. Thanks

Turbinetics doesn't use emanage. It uses the unichip which is fully programable, so there is no need for an upgrade. You will need to retune it for the added boost involved though. I would also reccomend getting a rebuild. New pistons and rods will be a very good idea at that horsepower level.

I use 93 octane gas.

I know man, I'm working on that. I am getting better at driving the car. Maybe I'll start pulling your times hey? I'm so happy I got this kit. I'm starting to be well known around my town. It's great. :D

This is what I'm planning to do is to make it 8.5:1 compression with new turbo applications pistons, piston rings, light weight rods and hopefully other stuff coming out for turbo application but that would be like few years from now because it will cost me alot of money to get more horse.

The included parts in the kit (turbo, wastegate, injectors, EMS) can be taken to well over 400 WHP. Just needs to be tuned to do that. Also need to have forged internals...wouldn't be a bad idea to get a Walbro 255 lph fuel pump as well...

What is the official size of the Injectors supplied with the kit? Also who makes them?

TimmyT

They are 60lb injectors.

Huge. I forget who makes them. I think it tells you on the website.

But like MIA said. a fuel pump wouldn't be a bad idea.

zer0

I downloaded their install manual. They look like Siemens Deka 60/lb injectors..

But MIAPLAYA can you verify?

this turbonetic setup has massive turbo lag. The transition from vaccum to boost is not smooth at all. you can easily feel the hesitation when the turbo starts spooling. once the turbo hit full boost, the car will burst out like theres no tomorrow. this problem occur mainly from 2nd gear through 5th gear. The 1st gear seems to have a very smooth transition with little to no lag. the problem is either the base map or the stock exhaust piping.

hoping to have this problem fix after a visit to the dyno shop. kinda sucks that i have to spend the extra money to get this kit running correctly.

An exhaust should help you free up some more power. As for the lag, their dyno shows it all. The power just jumps.
