a 4 banger LS
if your car is an LS it should be a V6
please help, MAJOR novice... just learning about cars
after reading all of the posts i have alot of questions, i plan on researching ALOT because thats what it seems everyone has done before even considering turbo... i do have a question that i dont think i could find on a website.... ive noticed that most people seem to have a 93 Ls-T 2.5L v6 and not to many other years, i have a 96 Ls m-edition... im not sure on what internals, turbo, or anything else i need or should get, i kind of figured id just copy someones set-up from here... now my question is: is it possible to just do that, and are there things in the way that i would have to relocate, modify, or move in-order to do that... thanks to anyone who can let me know
Just recently boosted the 2.0. Im running a modest 5psi for the time being to see how everything holds up. So far so good.
Turbo is a T3/T4 hybrid, 38mm wasgate and a 24x12x3 front mount(a pain to mount). BOV sounds great. Fuel is being managed for now by an adjustable cartech FMU. Need to do some tunning, running rich as hell a 5psi.
I bought the kit off ebay, xspower kit, and havent had a problem yet. Its been about a month and no problems besides having to relocate the radiator to the front side of the core support after destroying the first one.
The kit was ment for a Integra but that changed after cutting off the flang and welding on the mx-6 one.

Hyundai technician, only cause Mazda pay's ****. though i really like my Probes and mx-6's
Rob i see after a long time of being afraid of blowing your engine, you removed your Scirocco radiator and put in your stocker along with that blower just to prove to me you are boosted again. Hmm you sure went thru a lot of trouble to prove me something. Here let me remind you what your engine bay last looked like and note the date posted...........http://www.supermotors.net/vehicles/...y/media/250549
Anyways on to some real up to date pics............

Wow, you are as dumb as you look I never said that pic was recent I said it was Boosted when I first bought it, that is a pic shortly after I got the car from Mike N. I see the date of the pic you have was posted in 2005, It's 2006 now. here is a more recent pic of the engine bay, only about 2 months old. S/C goes back in when I get my MS :flipa:
