boost and hp

how much boost can i run on stock internals in a 1999 lanod 1.6 16v, and keep in the reliability, what hp gain should i see with an intercooled turbo setup?

I would say between 5 and 7 psi

5-7 PSI is right, with about a 50 HP gain if done right, so 155 HP at the crank, maybe 130 HP at the wheels, and you have one hell of a Lanos. If you choose to go higher, you would need forged internals, but with those, the power limit would go a whole hell of a lot higher. :twisted:

I'd be willing to bet it'd be just a tad higher than 155hp. You are assuming they are just slapping on a turbo to a stock engine (105hp). I'm guestimating that with a properly breathing engine you can get 115hp before turbo and 175-185 after turbo and well tuned.

what is all involved in a remote turbo, what parts do i need i know turbo, lost of intake tube, oil line, what all do i need for the fuel system?

what are the benefits of a remot turbo?? if you are saving engine bay space then what about piping routing, weight and all??

Most of you guys probably think I'm trying to be a salesman, I promise you I'm not. I'm just really sold on this product, although I'm still waiting to see #'s for smaller displacement engines.

http://www.ststurbo.com If you have questions about remote turbo's these guys are probably the best to ask. I know their oiling systems are self-sufficient so you don't have to run oil lines back from the pan. The extra plumbing does have a wee little bit of pressure loss, but it's a negligable amount, it is listed somewhere on the site I forget where. And with the extra piping, there's no need for an intercooler, the air is cooled on it's way to the engine.

There is probaly alot of lag on a smaller turbo that you need on a smaller engine

do i need* tuned ecu, or fuel sys. if i run it at a low boost? i dont much about turbos, cept they make you go fast....sorry for such a noob question

big turboes got big lag... small turboes spools fast..

most probably you will need a RRFPR (Rising Rate Fuel Pressure Regulator)... all the guys i saw with turbo setup got them and also lots of them are running low boost on stock ECU.
