sr swap

[nis-s13]

what do you guys think if i drop in my sr without an intercooler??? i was just going to dump in the motor and run two filters? any opinions?

[aeontony]

What do you mean two filters? Like one of those twin filters by one of the Japanese companies? Why not go with just one?

And do you mean _no_ intercooling at all? Not even the sidemount? I can't say that no intercooling will be a very good choice, but if you don't boost over like 5 psi (not to factory levels, even) then I don't think it'll matter.

he wants to have a twin turbo set up on a single turbo...

[nis-s13]

sorry i didn't give enough info. but yeah i was going to drop in my motor but i don't have an intercooler, and i was wondering if i could just throw in the motor and run 2 seperate filters. one on the intake side, and one on the turbo side....would this be safe? and do you think it would cause me some problems?

[aeontony]

Yes this will give you problems. The factory ECU is designed for turbo pressure. You will find your car stalling as soon as you let go of the throttle.

You have to at least run a pipe from the turbo out to the throttle body...

Your best option would be to find a factory sidemount setup. People don't usually use these from their clips so hopefully you can find something cheap on ebay.

do yourself a favor
DONT get an SR

you aren't ready

[nis-s13]

thanks to the peeps that answered...but to those that hated, and said that i shouldn't get an SR eat SH*T... I mean I was just asking a simple question, and didn't need some bullsh*t response.

[BSeay]

Then dont ask stupid questions....

Your gonna waste your money......I dont think he meant that in a deragatory way, he just meant wait to drop your SR in when you have the propper pieces for installation......

Heres an idea..........Buy a TT Z32 side mount and get thick ass big ass ruber hoses and conect with elbows and pipe a little smaller in diamater than the inside of the rubber hose.....I did this on my first SR and it worked long enough for me to get an intercoller and custom piping......(when installing you will need hose clamps and you can use a SOHC MAF and filter addapter with a cone filter, T-ing in your vacume lines etc... are a pain and I dont remeber how I did that.....I used the stock charge pipe from the SR.....Worked like a charm and I think it only cost about 100 bux all in all....)

Good luck.........

SEARCH please next time.
Do you realize that the wastegate actuator that bleeds boost needs to have a vacume line hooked into the motor. If your motor is not seeing that boost then your wastegate will never open and you will spin your turbo up to like 150K rpm.. + your motor will not run all that great without your maf sensor linked to the motor. There are another 100 things i could point out as well. but im not going to waste my time. Also why dont you just run an intercooler. I have a stock one i will give you for $50.

I cant believe im having to explain this.... :down:

[the head]

1. are you plannign on hooking the turbo up to the motor? if you are there is only one place to put a filter

2. talkin all gettho and giving people here shit is not a good way to get help (that you REALLY need)

3. i have a side mount from my front clip i will sell it to you for 25 plus shipping if you want it PM me

4. Lastly SEARCH almost all of the questions you will ask can be covered by this and it will save you some serious shit from members on the board that are tired of answering the same NOOB questions over and over again

[davenavarro1]

what the point of having an sr motor if your not going to turn up the boost. the poin of the whole swap is to have more horse power.

[DuffMan]

God, wtf is with this board. Is everyone so insecure that you have to insult people for asking a question.:rolleyes:

I think he means he wants to run the SR NA for now. I am assuming this is temporary.

You can do it. You need some way to adapt the MAFS to the throttle body, and the small hose that goes to the intake manifold. If the air going into that hose isn't metered by the MAFS the car wont idle. You could probably do something with PVC piping to make it work.

I can think of absolutely no reason why it wouldnt run 100% fine like that. Don't listen to the morons that posted in this thread.

[davenavarro1]

his not planning to do an SR NA, his planning to remove the intercooler and run it straight to the intake manifold. he is also planing to lower to boost too.

[DuffMan]

I dun think so then why the 2 filters?

Now THAT would be dangerous.

[aeontony]

I believe he wants to put one filter in the turbo in (to prevent stuff from getting sucked in), and one filter to the TB, along with a MAFS.

Again, I stress that the car will not run correctly without turbo pressure. The ECU _may_ learn after a while, I'm not sure. When I tried running my car NA to get it to a shop to get IC piping done, it did not work.

[mrmephistopheles]

i've seen non-intercooled SRs. It's not a good idea to run past 5psi, since you intake charge wil be hot as fuck. make sure you have some sort of recirculation valve.

[davenavarro1]

maybe the guy who started the post is a bone head. the only way you can have two air filters is if your running a twin turbo set up. also, he said he whats to put the filter on the turbo and the intake manifold.

if i where you i wont help this bone head and tell him to read "cars for dummies" cuz where just arguing with each other.

No, you need to learn how a car works.

one word. Booooooo
