to be able to run more boost should i bulk up my bottom end with pistons ,connection rods, and arp rod bolts and block guard. do i need anything valvetrain wise

 

You need to be a little more specific.

What engine will you be boosting?

 

And how much whp do you plan on making ?

 

ok gains wise like 220 maybe more. but i have 95 ls with just i/h/e the normal bolt ons and i was gon to try and piece a turbo kit together but i need a list of parts so if anyone would like to tell that would be nice. also i dont knopw whether to get a Garret t3 since it will spool faster or a t3/t4 so i run even more boost later

 

For 220whp you'll be fine with stock internals..There are a shitload of them making +300whp without problems..Do a compression test though to see if its healthy..

You need

Manifold
turbo
wastegate internal or external
oil feed and return lines
intercooler (optional but reccomended)
Blow off valve (optional but reccomended)
Charge piping
Downpipe
Couplers and clamps
Boost gauge
Fuel management
You Should get a good catchcan setup

 

oh thank you for the list you saved me a lot of time what about turbo timers and boost controlers

you dont really need a turbotimer,,I mean all you have to do it sit in the car for a couple minutes before you turn it off.. And boost controller..Thats up to you..

 

what about my radiator will i have to get a slim fan also what about my a/c

That all depends on your manifold/downpipe selection..Some manifolds allow you to keep a/c..

And most times you'll need a slim fan..

 

what about this to start piecing my kit togetther http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...wItem

 

Go for it , im gonna catch some heat for saying this . But those arent as bad of kits as everyone makes them out to be .

 

can anyone recomend a slim fan for me.

 

dont go for a kit like that .

all i can say is search, search, search.

you have no idea what kinda Manifold, turbo, wastegate that is. if you do go for a kit like that ASK ALOT OF QUESTIONS

 

first off, don't get that kit, it has all the things you need, but it doesn't have the quality you need, better to do it right the first time!!

t3/t4 is a good size, you will also need fuel management/ecu chiped

 

before you buy a slim fan, just try trimming the fan shroud. you should be aqble to clear it no problem. I had a 60-1 on a drag manifold and used my oem fans and radiator but no a/c

 

ok thanks i found a good site that helps with every thing the hard part is trying to find the pieces for a good price if i dont have a boost controller how much boost does the system run alone?

your wastegate has a spring in it. if you dont have a boost controller you can only go as high as the spring that is in you wastegate.

 

Spend a few minutes through here.....

T3/T4 is a nice turbo to use.....you could piece together a kit for a Grand or so.

bullshit...maybe for a cheap toilet plumbed turbo kit....

to do it RIGHT yes you could probably peice all the essentials together for around $2000 for a nice reliable setup. If you are serious about doing it right you should invest in a wideband o2 sensor and good fuel managment (chrome, uberdata or hondata). Everyone just wants to slap a turbo on and go....theres more to it than that.

yeah a turbo kit for only 1000 is like super used or half assed parts a quality tune with a good engine management is like 500-750 already

 

dude if you know where to look you can find good stuff and only pay about 1200 for the kit...thats not with the tune.

 

a really nice kit for 1200? well if you can find me a nice equal lenghth mani and rc 750cc injectors and clips and a new turbo, tial wastegate, hks bov, nice lil 28x6.5x3 intercooler with piping and downpipe. a boost controller, oil line kit, half size radiator, slim fan, FPR, fuel pump, and if your gonna be turbo'd ur gonna need a new clutch to handle it. and i excluded used parts and half assed parts so if you find me all that for that price let me know bud i'd be really interested

its better to do it right the first time then to half *** it and then pay more in the end
