Turbo'ing your lancer information

View attachment 5503
Here is one i did 6 years ago.
115-125kw at the wheels. Adaptronic ecu with my plug in play loom.
Simple 4-2-1 thickwall SCH40 steampipe manifold. I still have the jig and prototype before I did the one in the photo.
Full AC and PS trigger from ECU to increase idle speed like the stock vehicle.
Garrett GT2860 ball bearing
275cc injectors.
Goes harder than stock cm5a swap which only make 105 to 110kw at 10psi

Made a fun car street car and track.
Anyone who has been one of the setups Ive done can comment on the fun factor :)

Hi All,
I have also recently completed a 4G93 turbo conversion. My car is the poverty pack GLI (auto) sedan :) hehe but here's my list.

TD04L-16G turbo
Custom manifold
custom intercooler
Orange 270cc injectors
new oil pump
turbo smart 800 fuel pressure regulator
bigger fuel lines
3" turbo back with euro4 cat (wouldn't pass IM240 without the euro4 400 cell cat)
Mircrotech LT-8

their is more but that's the basic kit. on 5 pound boost the car made 112.7kw atw (151hp). The engine is completely stock right now and is a great package with the auto box.
 
1.8 GLI?
@Adam T How's the auto holding down? Mine used to slip just on the 1.5L, but then again 4 long gears is probably good for boost.
 
Hey Hugh T.. thanks for the earlier message.
So I recently got the car back from Streamline @ Beresfield in NSW who replaced the dead oil pump and turbo amongst other things and I did ask the question about the auto box. The reply was that basically it's not making huge power so the box should be fine, a recommendation of good tranny cooler to by-pass the factory one would be a good safe option start. As I know Benvette on this forum with that cool little red rocket I have access to good knowledge by someone who's been there and done that, not including the auto. SO... I really need info on these auto's. How good are they? what power figures will they handle? what better auto box will bolt up to the 4G93?
 
What do you guys think about td035 on a 4g93 auto ? I want something with nice power for girls car . The car is registered in my wifes name so its just city car not circuit racing or anything . Also what do you think it will boost like ? 2500 - 5500 just a guess .
Cheers Joseph

The tf035 is a tiny tiny turbo, you'd start spooling at like 2000 rpm and hit full boost by 2500rpm, and it'll run out of puff quick smart - there'll be no more power above like 3500-4000, and dont expect big power either. TD04 or around that size would give you a much bigger kick for the same price as the fabrication needed to get it all working together.
 
I have no idea.

If all youre after is a tiny bit of power, any you've suggested will do the trick.

For reference, i paid $399 for a turbo that is putting out about 175kw at the wheels for me, boosting from 2500-6000rpm+

yes but you need to look at the size of the turbine wheel also. understand the turbine and compressor maps and it will make sense.
 
when you are plumbing the turbo ..... either '15 or '93, Where do you get the oil and water feeds from? I have seen a billion photos of turbos sitting on manifolds but none that show where all the plumbing is running!
Also on the subject plumbing how do you run your cooler pipes?
 
I use a oil filter sandwhich plate to feed oil to the turbo..
as for coolant I took one of the hoses from the bottom of the throttle and had a hose go into one side of the turbo. And the returning coolant line went into the engine side where the hose went from throttle into the engine
If you need any photos I’ll take some and upload them
 
I’m very similar setup to steve. Oil filter sandwich plate for a feed. Alternative you can remove the oil pressure sensor and fit a t-piece in there. The ultimate setup is to tap an oil gallery in the head oem spec. Couldnt tell you where to do that though haha.

Coolant - I have in simple terms taken the two lines off the throttle body heater and plugged them into the turbo.

Oil drain is straight into the sump. Look at my ride thread to see pictures. I used tapered fitting and silicone. If you look at @Foamy83 thread, his is welded.
 
Ah yes. My oil return feeds the sump. Get a spare sump and get a fitting welded or put one in yourself.
Welded fitting must use a proper type of fitting. I use a brass fitting and the way it’s welded doesn’t really fit the rubber return hose and can cause a slight leak after a full heavy runs in the car..
 
@Jimmib
If you need some photos I’m happy to upload some for more help if it doesn’t make sense

Also with the sandwhich plate just use an eBay one as they all are the same as supercheapauto and autobahn..
they may leak for a few weeks because the gaskets can be awful...
 
Yea I think I get what you're saying but pictures always help haha :) I checked out that thread as well but can't see that well so if you are able to post some more detailed pics of how it's routed I would super appreciate it!

Also, the benefits of having been an aircraft 'basher'

have skills will fab!!! haha, sheet metal and composites!
