Im gonna start peicing together a turbo kit. One of my main problems thus far is Manifolds. I dont mind if its a LOG, nor Equal length. I was just wondering what my options where. Its a 95 2.2l OHV 5 sp. I dont wanna go with a kit as there are several turbo's, And BOV's forsale used locally.
Do Mitsu turbos [t25, 14b, Ect] all share a t3/t4 Flange?
I know of a t25 for sale for $50, Then a shop that will rebuild it with GREAT turnaround time for $226ish.. Is this a good route to go? or shall i spend $200 on a "rebuilt" one? I was considering Ebay untill now. LOL
Also, are GOD speed FMIC's any good?
Any recommendations on a cheap AFPR? I plan to upgrade that ASAP.
You can use an LT1 FPR to adjust fuel pressure, but don't expect a FPR to compensate for adding boost--because it doesn't.
Mitsu turbos use Mitsu flanges. Hahn racecraft uses Mitsu turbos, and therefore Mitsu flanges (and they do make a 2.2L kit).
A T25 is too small. Period. I've got a 14b in great condition if you're interested, but I'd consider that a tad on the small side as well, unless you plan on keeping a stock motor.

No plan to stay stock here. I do plan to run 6-7 PSI, for a while, Untill i get a walbro 255, good managment, And injector's. I plan to start buying parts for a turbo kit, While upgrading other things on the car Such as AFPR, Over drive pulleys, Spec stage 2 With fidanza flywheel, and a few suspension items.
The LT1 FPR's are around $100, arnt they? Are the ebay one's decent?
at $195, are the Ebay manifolds worth it? If worse comes to worse, I got ppl that can weld.
Is there any disadvantages with an Internal Waistgate?
yes they will
I would still like to know how people pull boost pressures out of their asses. Saying they'll run 4 - 5 psi on the street, and then turn it up to eleventy billion at the track. It makes no sense, there is no 'safe' boost pressure, lets get realistic here.
[/rant]
So your saying that me running 6-7psi untill i upgrade fuel pump, Injector's, Ect, and get it tuned is being optomistic? I Dont see how.. 6-7psi should be safe on the internals of a fairly stock long block.
Btw, I have no reason to "Bump it up" for the track. I will however, at somepoint throw it on the dyno, And bump the pressure up a bit. However, I need to stay in the safe range with it, Due to it being a Daily driver.
The only reason im turboing it, Is because i cannot sell it, and i want a fast car. My plans of my LT1 S10 were ruined when the prices of gas sky rocketed. So now ill start investing money in a turbo.. 6-7psi is my goal for now. After i get that turned, Ill decide from there. I dont need no 25psi, Changing trannys every week, Just to have a 12.032 et. I just wanna suprise a civic, or run with a mustang every now and than.
With Jtuners out of the game, the only manifolds I know of are the ebay ones, and the manifolds from the Hahn kits. I would love to pick up another 2200 manifold, but I don't want a ebay log manifold.
I like my ghetto log

Ummm....
What injectors are you looking at? Just curious. It's kind of important to find 'em now.

I'm still disappointed that Jtuners went down. I really wanted one of their manifolds.
Maybe someone else will start offering tubular manis for the 2200.
I would guess that no big company is going to offer tubular manifolds for the pushrod 2.2 - that motor is out of production for almost five years now. I want one too, but the only way I can see getting it is paying a shop to build it custom (700-1000$). It's just not worth it.
there was a post on here gauging interest on cutom turbo headers for the ohv motors, look it up and give some support. I even offered to send an extra j-tuners manifold to them for a template, but not enough people were interested. Go show your support, they were looking for at least 10 people for it.

I havent even started looking into them, At the moment. Why is it important to find now? Will my stock injectors [Provided they're clean, not leaking, And flowing well], Not hold up to the 6psi im planning to run for 6 or so months?
For 6psi, i planned to run a modified 4.3l vortec pump, AFPR, As well as having my stock injectors cleaned / Flow tested.

There are no aftermarket injectors for a 95 2.2L. Look up "top-feed conversion". Stockers are very small, and only good for very low power levels. 6psi (~200bhp) is pushing it, as you would be running about 100% duty cycle even with a 12:1 gain.
