adi2009 Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 Are you getting it directly from Boost Logic or are you getting a used set??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BROARDSIDE Posted June 26, 2005 Author Share Posted June 26, 2005 i have done loads of reading up on this the stage 1 kit is only safe for 8 psi maximum the stage 2 kit has the 2.5mm head gasket to lower the compression ratio and it has been run at 22 psi for a long period and is still going strong i can only go by what i have been told Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BROARDSIDE Posted June 26, 2005 Author Share Posted June 26, 2005 brand new from boost logic all new parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 now this kit is complete and all the parts that i mentioned earlier are in it i have been told that i only have put the system on and it wont need no tuning initialy Absolute rubbish, who told you this? Have you spoken yet to any of the tuners on this forum (Or elsewhere for that matter)? Go on and spill the beans - who was it that gave you this information?

adi2009 Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 Ok so then you dont have to worry about missing parts!!! I think it is nice that we have this discussion on this board but i think your question on THIS matter would be better answered in the "NA section" of http://www.supraforums.com. Dont try fitting it yourself because the A/F ratios need to be corrected with a wide band on a dyno for best results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BROARDSIDE Posted June 26, 2005 Author Share Posted June 26, 2005 ok thanks m8 im gonna get a a/f meter i cant remember the name aem something p.s and this was my initial question about the sensor nite all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adi2009 Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 Also, IMO i think that it all comes down to how much power you want to put out. I have heard of people running just the SAFC with a single turbo on their NA, but then again there is only so much you can get out of that.

Homer Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 I'm not sure what you mean; your post has no punctuation so is unclear. Are you suggesting I provide an NA-T kit? If so the answer is no! With a huge turbo like that and such a low pressure surely your money would be better spent getting the engine swapped for a TT lump? It'll be MUCH more responsive and drivable in on UK roads than having some lag monster of a turbo that only provide a small extra % of boost. Seriously give the tuners a call - they will know best.

adi2009 Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 ok thanks m8 im gonna get a a/f meter i cant remember the name aem something Pl make sure that you are gettin a wide band and not just the A/F gauge (they are useless). I know that AEM has some new wide band unit which comes with the meter so if it is that then you are ok. The NA-T setup does have a lot of potential. My knowledge on this topic is limited so i think it is time that you give the tuners a call!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BROARDSIDE Posted June 26, 2005 Author Share Posted June 26, 2005 homer wtf punctuation at 2:30 in the mornin u are having a F***ing laugh i can only just about type no the question was have you fitted an na-t kit (have you done one) if im not being had a go at about using caps it's my punctuation its like being at school Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BROARDSIDE Posted June 26, 2005 Author Share Posted June 26, 2005 ps i dont want a TT lump as i stated in an earlier thread the kit is on its way so thats hardly gonna be an option and not very inventive if i had a pound for every time somone said to me chop it in and get a TT (us n/a guys just love to hear that after we have spent so much money on our cars already ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJ Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 So, is this the system that Vortex have reccomended? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BROARDSIDE Posted June 26, 2005 Author Share Posted June 26, 2005 no this is from an american company i have not had chance to speak to vortex yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 no this is from an american company i have not had chance to speak to vortex yet Ah, that explains it then. OK, Vortex are the sole importers of BoostLogic equipment into the UK. If you wanted to buy BL kit you will have to go through them. HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BROARDSIDE Posted June 26, 2005 Author Share Posted June 26, 2005 yeh but i think they wanteted to fit it for some extra money(not too expensive) but i want to fit it myself its the only way im gonna learn about this, trial and error (hopefully not error) as i said earlier the way i see it as long as i am not running too much boost and not running lean i cant see that i can do too much damage i hope. then once i get the basic system set up and running i can get it put into a tuner and get the final touches done. from there i can then start to play with adding other components do you think this sounds like a plausable plan ?

Nic Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 Broadside, if you are too lazy to clearly state your questions with proper punctuation, then how do you expect other members to understand what you are asking and get the answers you are looking for. You expect us to spend 10 minutes trying to understand what you are asking and then post an answer with help? Homer and other members have tried to help with very good advice, but you are clearly not wanting to accept or do not understand it. I may be but you really need to stop listening to what you have read/been told by this American company, as they are talking b*ll*x. If you are going to ask a question here, then you need to be prepared to listen to the advice given, otherwise I suggest you contact the company who are supplying you the parts and ask them to answer your questions.

JustGav Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 I have to agree with Nic... This is not a simple bolting an air filter on style thing, you are radically changing the operation of the engine... from a vacuum to a postive boost setup... It is not a simply bolting on a turbo and driving off into the sunset... Think carefully, plan it carefully, then execute it... When I did the VVTi, I probably should not have done, loom, dash, engine, diff, gearbox AND single turbo conversion in one hit, but I did and I'm getting to point where I've had the car down the road a few times but still with some teething problems..

JustGav Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 Nah, I'm not upset... Really, the project is yours to do, just take onboard some of the advice, and prepare to have to do more, I speak from experience with this, things don't go as simple as we wish.. I know of at least one person who has bought their kit thru BL US and had it personally imported without any warranty. Vortex are the UK suppliers for BL Kit, and as such are entitled to make a mark up since they warranty and support that kit. BL in US are keen to use this route and as such will probably not ship the UK except via Vortex. Gav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav thanks gav i am putting in a lot of time to this and i am more than willing to take any advice. I have a good engineering knowledge and fabrication skills so fitting the kit should not be too much of a problem (i am such an optomist). the tuning i am not sure on but hopefully i can get some advice from here if anyone is still talking to me.lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 If I can help I will by all means... I love the fact that people like us take on these crazy projects ourselves... As I said in one of my previous posts "Not bad for an I.T. bloke with a spanner" when I was referring to my project... Good luck with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
