Came across this turbo for free and was wondering if I could make it work on my B18B. Problem is I dont know much about it - and I do not have a lot of cash so i was looking to put this on my car with no intercooler, buy a tubing kit, wastegate, and BOV and fab up myself. I am just looking to get my foot in the door with about 5-7 psi - thoughts? For a manifold, I figured a cheap cast, and then fab up an adapter plate to fit this turbo.

 

that thing would be perfect for my...

go kart.


seriously.

 

I think if your trying to run boost on the cheap then just forget it.

It will only end in tears.

 

what the hell is that off of

 

looks like BW has some competition

 

I believe it is from an old, old, old Couvair. But honeslty, I believe I can fab up this turbo for 1000 - 1500 bucks, and then maybe a tune, no? I would rather use my time and skills than spend 5K for kit setup. I am not arguing here, I am just looking for honest opinion from someone who hasn't bought a kit, but rather pieced a kit together...

 

Ebay kits can be had for like $600. youd be better off with that and a fuel system/tune for the other $500

 

I had to double take at this thing. very interesting lol. I say go with the ebay special and save yourself some stress, time and money that is if you just have to go boost... good luck.

 

ebay **** looks good compared to this one.

 

Wut Da Hizzzzzy is that crap????? don't waste your money trying to install that pos on your car...

 

Would someone please find out where that piece came from? I'm dieing to see how it performs

 

from the looks of it, it looks like it could be a ray jay turbo.

the little i know on there is they appear to always be very compact in design, and were bolt on turbo kits for a bunch of things like tractors and what not.

trust me you'll spend less money in the long run buying a new turbo and not having to adapt it, rebuild it, and maybe getting stranded using it
