do a search for turbo and you will find a few turbop threads.  from what i have heard i think you can go to 9 PSI with stock pistons and put about 180 Hp on a stcok engine.  wecome to the board.

Easy there, lets not over state this  :o
I'm getting 145 HP at the crank 125 to
the ground, I'm not just useing the stock
FMU, I have added a MegaSquirt EFI system
also.

The system Mhn3773 speaks of is the MAF
16V engine, not the 8V like I'm running.

I can get away with 87 RON with the intercooler
for most driveing conditions, if I plan on some
heavy offroad high HP applications I put in 91
and have not problems with ping, without an
intercooler forget high boost use, ping will kill
the motor.

Any additional ?? I can help with, give me a
shout, I'm here most nights at least for a while.

I have the other turboed tracker.but its a 1.6 16v.and it sounds like you have an 8v.but I am pushing 7psi through an intercooler.and it is on the stock motor.but works just about perfect.have probably between 170 nd 180 hp.MAF makes it alot easier to install a turbo.if you have any questions I'll try to give you some answers as well.but wild can probably help you out a little more on your engine.

ok i know what stand alone and piggy backs are my acura im using hondata lol .

This megasquirt alows me to keep the TBI single injector?

Im thinking of selling the truck and gettin a 95 4 door with the 16V and using a apex-i SAFC and some slightly bigger injecotors im only looking for some extra power like i pull the ski-doo trailer and people around and this 8V POS bougs down.

I think maybe the 16V with its MPI and mas air would be better suited?

No, there is no system made for an 8V Track/Kick, and as
far as I know, not for the 16V either.

The MAF seems to be able to cope with the, turbo better
than the MAP system, with some 25 PPH injectors, you
should be able to run 7-9 without too much trouble, I
think 35s are about right tho for best performance.

MegaSquirt is a kit built Laptop programable EFI computer,
redboardergbc  is correct, UltraMegaSquirt is comming, and
will have programable spark timing with boost retard, it's
next on my EFI list.


redboardergbc  Go out and run a 1/4 mile
and report back the speed, or time I can
plug this into the poor man's dyno and get
you an accurate HP output

The apexi safc is pretty much a universal piggy back computer. it hacks into your maf signals and changes the info before the computer.in return changing your fuel curve,wich you can adjust in 500rpm increments.This is going in my tracker as soon as I buy it. then 10psi here i come.I'll try to get a quarter time for you.all I know right now is that I can beat my friends 5.2l grand cherokee in the quarter.he can win off the line,before boost.but as soon as 3200rpm roll around im gaining,and passing him in 3rd gear.
