Siena: Thanks for sharing these sobering video footage, Wallie. Sadly, many will see you as a killjoy, and feel these accidents were due to the driver's errors. They view themselves as "Professionals", and feel they're invincible, this could never happen to them.

mikkyphp: @OP, do you guys do aftermarket vehicle tuning - like fitting a turbo/super charger, mod-exhaust, rear wing fitting, lowering suspensions, fitting a front splitter or rear diffuser n all? would be interested in car mods that enhance vehicle performace from the base model.

Siena:

A turbo or supercharger is not a bolt-on affair. To run either, you'll need to have an engine build, that involves replacing your pistons with versions with lower compression, about 8.5:1. Non-turbo engines are typically 10.0:1 or higher, and running a turbo with these will blow your engine up. I'll give you a list of what's required to have forced-induction on your naturally-aspirated engine:

01) Forged pistons with lower CR.
02) H-section connecting rods.
03) Uprated head gasket.
04) Turbocharger.
05) Custom exhaust manifold.
06) Custom exhaust front section.
07) Larger injectors.
08) MAP sensor (minimum 2.0 bar).
09) Intercooler (if running 10 psi and above).
10) Custom induction piping.
11) Custom oil feed for turbo (tapped from main gallery).
12) Custom oil drain from turbo (involves drilling oil pan or engine block above the oil capacity level).
13) Stand alone ECU with MAP to run your larger injectors.
14) Uprated fuel pressure regulator (or rising rate unit).
15) Uprated cylinder head bolts.

You may be able to retain your own ECU, but it'll still need to be mapped to run larger injectors, and you'll need a separate ECU (piggy back)( to control boost and ignition curve. I have no idea where you'll get anyone in Nigeria who can map confidently. Your cooling system will definitely need beefing up, otherwise your engine will surely fry.

Adding boost to an engine is not a minor upgrade, if your shopping list doesn't look like the above, then I wouldn't bother.

hmmmm, i think this issue has been well beaten. Lets allow troubled waters calm down...pleeaasseee, the Op i'm sure has taken the positives of your comments

Somorin#1:


I've had continous luck with running relatiovely low boost on stock pistons and compression (though on some cars that alloss it, I've also used a slightly thicker head gasket to reduce the compression).

Adjusting the boost ratio to 5 or 6 psi can be accomodating.

In any case, I don't see the high caliber of machines on this thread needing any of those superfulous work anyways.

Wallie:

At about 5psi on most NA engines, you can get "away" with a tune, turbocharger, oil pump and intercooler. Just run high octane quality fuel and/or E85 (if your car can take it) and you're good to go. But if you grenade your engine, no be me send you o.

That's a fact bro. But with Nigeria's crap pump gas, an lack of E85, we're talking major grenade, hehehe.

captalex: how about jet A fuel used by the airplanes?

You don't have to worry about me. No pain no gain. I have fresh blocks, crankshafts and heads in the shed.

While we're at it, are you Guys playing with NOS in 9ja yet?

CityNG: Why have the MODS not locked this thread already?

Bro, I thought you'd be all for this.
