Ok same old story for me. When i get my EG im going ls/turbo and i want to install everything myself.

now i would like the drag 3 kit but im almost going to look into teh greddy kit.

so how tough is it to do this?

thanks guys.

If you have knowledgeable help, it won't be a problem. I say go for it.

jbsadler

Do it!!!!

turbocoupe

had help from a friend plus the board. It's really not that hard.

tararan

ditto...all you need is some

Dee

I did my install plus some of the welding on the downpipe and IC piping too...

Farnsrocket

I'm doing it now as we speak.....................just got EGT mount and oil pan welded, intercooler installed...........it is fun........really makes you understand how your car works.

:raises hand: w/ help of a friend.

I tried to do it with a friend, and it worked . . . just not very well. We messed up the vacuum lines, but once we got it straightened out with help from another buddy of ours, it ran like a champ.

My point is: you should at least try to do it yourself, but make sure you've got someone looking over your shoulder to make sure you don't mess anything up too bad.

go for it dude. its pretty easy. Just dont try and install a 3" downpipe. That is more of a bitch than the entire turbo install.

GruvyTune

do it. I did my FMAX and it came out great. Gonna have to redo it cause the turbo is leaking oil. The turbo has to come out tomorrow which means most of the install. Damn, i'm not looking forward to it. Its cold outside.

ForcedAccord

Just some elbow grease... but that never hurt anybody. I'm agreed w/ the helping

Flamenco-T

do it, expect around 2-3 days of work and two-three weeks of tweaking and tuning, tightening bolts that you thought was tight enough....

Very easy job, especially if you have access to a lift. Thanks to all the guys on the board for help on my install especially turbointeg95, he was a big help. The oil return line is probably the hardest thing about the job, if you cant weld just get someone else to do it for you. Take it to a shop.

smkngsr

Just do it...just take your time...if u are not sure about something, just ask bro...i didnt know anything about it but i tried and it was fine..you will not learn until u try...Good luck

Mike D

wow thanks a lot for teh replys guys. See none of my freinds are into cars like me so my help will be minimal unless i find someone locally who will be willing to help.

either way im going, my car, my money, so **** it i want to do it.

anyway this project is really only in teh beginning stages so ill keep you gusy posted.


by the way what does an EG with about 200whp run in the 1320?

thanks agian guys

b18cTurbo

did it myself took about 6 hour to install my greedy gsr kit whit all the ecm whire and injector some friend com for helping to
i would say about 5 in a scale of 10 difficult ratio

I've done two for/with my friends:

1.) '94 GSR DRAG III kit ~ outcome: 261whp/190ft.lb @ 6psi

2.) '95 Dodge Avenger Hahn Stage I kit ~ outcome: FMIC install in progress.

The Avenger is currently running non-IC'd at 5psi.. feels great. Alot better than stock! Boost arrives around 2500rpm.

Definitely do the turbo install yourself. Just some patience, common sense, and decent tools.

BLKMamba

LOL. That's how long It took me to do mine.

b18b98

Me and a friend installed my turbo kit. It took us roughly 1 day...the only thing is i had to go to a shop to get my downpipe and flexpipe welded. Take your time and make sure you have the right parts and they all fit each other. Good Luck

Canuk_SiR

I don't have my turbo yet, but I'll be doing the install by myself when I get it. As long as you think ahead and try to do everything in your head before you're gonna be fine. That's only if you solve some problems before, and are fairly confident that your mental walkthrough will be similar to the real thing. Just don't assume it'll be done in a couple of hours

InfamousDX

it's definitely fun and easy with a basic knowledge of what you're doing.

Smoothy

Where in central MA? I might be able to help.

Tomakit

(raises hand)

Did my own too.
