Future Project Ga15det or Qg18det

[William18]

Now I know some ppl say makes no sense doing either just go sr20 or sr20det... Forget it... Am thinking of doing a march project in the future... If you can suggest another engine it wud be nice also... Been looking for info on these projects realised head work is need for the ga but not seeing much on qg18... Thanks...

[Ted_v2]

Qg18 and is all.
Run a external ign. Ls coilpacks.
Meth.

Estimate 200

[Ted_v2]

There's a aftermarket LSD unit for the b14 gearbox which can work . can't recall the name right now.

A small td04 and you set

[THE SYNDICATE]

Proper tuning and u good!

[William18]

Have any one of you done something like this? I always willing to listen and learn. Not a fly by night thing here but what about the compression factor? External ignition (msd), uprgraded coilpacks (nice).... Its just power to weight without chassis overkill that am researching.... I aint looking for 300bhp but a suitable balance....

[THE SYNDICATE]

i did it on a sr20 de.

viewtopic.php?f=25&t=412784

youtube have local vids of people who have done it to ga and qg as well.

[William18]

Nice I followed it up though... Been watching it awhile.... Just need the qg18de info lol....

[THE SYNDICATE]

Same concept. Only difference is ur tuning. Standalone or piggy back will be ur friend.

If u going safc, IMO go with emanage blue.

Safc - super AIR FLOW converter. That's it!

Emanage -

Air
Fuel
Timing
VTC/Vvl/vtec control
Anti stall
Map sensor addition

[THE SYNDICATE]

The views expressed on the piggy backs are mine and mine alone.

*jus stating that before the haters comments.

[William18]

Lol thanks bro... Btw am a big fan of Greddy emanage... Besides like I said any looking for 300bhp lol... Light engine with potential....

[William18]

Was thinking ga for the lsd box but that head work thing am afraid of....

[THE SYNDICATE]

U can boost a stock head and block. Use can use a t25 bb. Tuning is key.

[Ted_v2]

Phantom grip for the ga/qg box.

T25 is a excellent turbo as he said. Perfect for a small engine .

Emanage would be perfect.
But I don't like the stock qg coilpacks. Seen them fail under normal conditions

[William18]

Hmmm coil pack upgrade then.... Phantom grip $$$ lol....

[THE SYNDICATE]

Can't want the cake and eat it too!

[William18]

Ikr but this is baking from scratch lol.... But I liking it... Btw the vision is D&w/solodex with a slight daily driving situation inbetween... Am just gathering pros/cons of each....

[THE SYNDICATE]

U start bad already. It have no pros and cons of the build nor the use.

Is pros and cons of either u want to boost a de or not.

[William18]

Lol nah bro.... Already established it will be boosted... I mean like how I cud get lsd box for a ga but might have to use phantom for the qg or if I have to do head work on a ga as seem on a tuner post vs no head work on a qg... Stuff like that am checking but you cleared up most... Thanks....

[nervewrecker]

Qg18 can be turbocharged?

[William18]

^^yeah bro it can.... Seen a guy in trini with one in an almera but you how it is.... When u want to do it you cant remember the person to ask lol....

[nervewrecker]

I saw a qg16 turbocharged up for sale in here self and actually considered turbocharging mine but the costs....sr20 is the answer.
Don't be monkey see monkey do. Can the qg engines stock internals handle the heat and pressure from turbocharging? Or you plan on using water meth to keep cool but what's to stop you from blowing it out?
What you have planned for fuel management and ecu?

[William18]

Internals can handle a fair amount of boost...
Greddy emanage ultimate...
370cc inj.
Walbro 255lph...
So far from research...

[nervewrecker]

Is it worth it?

[William18]

Well to be honest the engine can safely make 200whp from what I research... I honestly find sr20vvl or sr20det in march is a bit overkill... Chassis does get too much licks lol.... I don't want to kill it lol....

[Ted_v2]

Qg is a smaller engine and perfect for a march.
Very shortly I'll show you guys what a qg march can do.

[nervewrecker]

To be quiet honest there aren't much small engines that are turbocharged.
There is the superturbo march engine but those old and you might have to spend some $$$ on it.
The stock qg16 and qg18 have some tempo and might do well as is in a march.

I get fedup looking so I decide 2.0 turbo for it yes and no sense in butchering a good car to for it. Ending up buying one already built.

[nervewrecker]

Isn't the starlet engine small too?

[William18]

1.3 efte but its also getting old.... I sold my march superturbo engine and it was capable of handling 20psi with slight upgrades but availablity of certain parts is why I sold it... I have a partner with a qg18 and box in a march... Works gr8 but improvements can always be made and as syndicate said and every aspect of my research said "Tuning" gonna make it or break it"...

[black start]

But but but qg18 heavier than sr20....

[William18]

Idk the weight of either or the weight of ga15...
