Call me cheap but I want to build a turbo system for my 2.0 sedan that runs at 4-5 psi without an intercooler. I am simply aimming for around 30-40 hp to make it a little more competitive. This would create minimal risks for the engine and (automatic) transmission, right? Please comment on it.
Cheap-cheap turbo?

Your tranny should be fine with a 30-40hp increase. We share the same manufacturing materials in our tranny as in the 200hp tribute. And actually, the FM/BEGI kit is going to be only about a 40hp kit, I believe.Kooldino said:
I have read that our ECU's run VERY VERY rich after 3250 rpms. The ECU's go up to around 10:1 (A:F). That would mean that there is about 50 percent of gas left unburnt.
If I had a turbo system that kicks in at about 3250 rmps and run it at one half bar, that means it would utilize that unburnt fuel, right. Then I should be able to turbo charge without fuel enrichment....
I think this should work, in theory, at least.
Here is the link that where I read about the fuel of our ECU

Slight problem with that theory. As manifold pressure rises, the ability of the fuel system to push the fuel into it declines unless you use a rising rate regulator. A rising rate regulator will increase the fuel pressure depending on boost and will richen things up enough to boost. If you don't increase the fuel pressure, it will probably go very lean at around 4 psi of boost or so with the stock system.
My opinion is that you should be fine at 4-5 psi on an auto tranny and you should be fine with a non-intercooled setup as long as you run low boost
Kind of. Cooler air i denser air, with more O2 and fuel-carrying capacity (I forget the measurement, particles-per-something).withoutme said:
