ms.leggygt Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Hey guys, I am new to this forum. I have a 2008 GT My stock turbo just went out. I am looking into the BNR 16 turbo. Do any of you have this turbo? If so what mods did you put on to accommodate? What size injectors did you use? Fuel Pump? Those kinds of things. Thank you!

Moderators BarManBean Posted August 17, 2015 Moderators Share Posted August 17, 2015 16g would do well on an aftermarket fuel pump (dw65) and 700cc-ish injectors. Aftermarket downpipe to open things up, catless up pipe (your '08 already has one, so you're good there). Bulletproof your stock TMIC or go aftermarket.

Moderators BarManBean Posted August 17, 2015 Moderators Share Posted August 17, 2015 Also look into JMPs turbos. He's making some nice ones "Bullet-proof" your OEM TMIC! <<Buy your kit here>> Not currently in stock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ms.leggygt Posted August 17, 2015 Author Share Posted August 17, 2015 Thank you!! Ill look into JMP! I have an Invidia catless downpipe right now. Other than the injectors, top mount, and fuel pump. Any other recommendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turboboost Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 An IP&T turbo oil supply line kit. I believe BNR requires one, and in general, they're good to have for peace of mind. And an EBCS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heiche Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Not to be a downer, but please search regarding the very common phenomenon where a turbo dies, sends metal glitter into the oil, which then takes out the engine. Often even if the turbo is replaced. tick tick tick! You might want to drain your oil into a clean bucket and inspect under bright light for metal particles.

heiche Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 regarding stock fueling, you can get away with stock injectors and stock fuel pump on the turbos that have been mentioned (BNR16G, VF52, stock VF40 variants), but in some cases your tune might have to intentionally taper boost as it gets closer to redline in order to keep the injectors from "going static" (maxing out). Or you can upgrade injectors/fuel pump and not have to worry about having boost taper. BtSsm - Android app/Bluetooth adapter. LV, logging, gauges and more.

Max Capacity Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Yep, I went with stock fueling, had a street tune yesterday, I'm at 90% duty cycle. I'm happy with the way the car perform's. Been on stock fueling for over 4 years now. It all depends on what your looking for and how much you want to spend.

ms.leggygt Posted August 18, 2015 Author Share Posted August 18, 2015 My engine is fine. It just barely went out. My mechanic looked at it. You guys have really helped a lot I appreciate it! Lots of ideas going through my head now. I have an aftermarket top mount in line for $200 so I think I'll go that route. Does anyone have the BNR 16g turbo? If so, do you like it??

heiche Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Does anyone have the BNR 16g turbo? If so, do you like it?? Yes and yes! Mine is a couple of years old, so I think the design might be a little different now. But this being said, it was one of my first mods along with an UP/catted DP, EBCS, and 93 tune. It performed great like that. This summer, I switched to E85 along with DW1000 sidefeed injectors, new fuel pump, etc, and the 16G performs very well with that combo. It feels like it's well suited in this setup, but if my setup got any more aggressive, I might have to upgrade to the BNR HTA68 For now, it's awesome. Strong torque, keeps pulling through the rpm range. A lot of people recently have been saying good things about JMP as well. I'm sure either way will be a good choice.

Moderators BarManBean Posted August 18, 2015 Moderators Share Posted August 18, 2015 I'm also running a BNR 16g and have been happy with it. Nice upgrade from the stock turbo. I'm running with a DW65, ID1000 injectors, downpipe, axleback, headers, blah blah blah. Full build here if you care: http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/bmbs-obxt-build-thread-203319.html In short, a 16G will benefit from nearly all bolt on mods that you choose to add. My car is setup to take a much bigger turbo if I choose to go that route a bit later, but for now the 16G gets to enjoy the support "Bullet-proof" your OEM TMIC! <<Buy your kit here>> Not currently in stock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ras06LGT Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 I've been running one without issues for around 30k miles. Very happy! If I make any changes it will be to a better fuel pump and bigger injectors so I can up the boost a bit more, but I don't see myself going that route any time soon.

boxkita Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Curious about the hardon for 16g. Why that one? Are you looking for a particular improvement to your car? Turbo barely went out usually translates to a "i changed my turbo, how come my engine died" thread a few much later. For as much money as your spending on upgrade parts whats a couple more to be sure engine is good too? Build my car Boxkita Track days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

05legacygtr Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 My personal opinion, if u want more power than the stock turbo then don't replace it with a 16g that only nets a few more hp than the stock vf40, while there may be more area under the curve but I thinkkk it's negligible. At the same time though don't go with a larger turbo unless u want to commit to upgrading not only your fuel system but your 5eat as well. I just went through a similar situation and upgraded to a bnr 18g which I loooove, at 20psi, it's very fun but I think my tranny gets buttery from time to time cuz I haven't made the appropriate upgrade that everyone on this forum pushes for on an auto when u get into a larger turbo/stage 3 territory. I hear jmps turbos are pretty amazing though as well and something to consider for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMonaLisa Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 JMP can make some real sweet turbos. If your looking for something about 16G size, he can make you a custom VF52 with billet compressor wheel. Definitely will put a smile on your face.

boxkita Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 My engine is fine. Its just barely rebuilt. Was it rebuilt after the turbo died or before? if before check for chips on the wheels. If after you're ok 5eat has upgrade options. which, as fahr_side suggested, you would know from doing a bit of reading. A jmp turbo will put a smile on your face. However you don't need id1000 top feeds to use them. Less is more when upgrading your lgt. Getting 300tq gets expensive very quickly. if you are still at "my mechanic says" stage of car owership, every estimate of cost you get on here should be doubled.

Mr.Goodbarf Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 My tuner recommended the following for me with my 16G and I'm happy with the results. 17lbs boost Oil supply line Upgrade fuel pump (do the whole sending unit package, mod sucks) Catless up/dn Tmic or bulletproof mod Turbo inlet Intake Tune The HO for bnr16g is cost and ease of install IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
