Yessum, very good power.

A local shop had a "dyno shootout" and Jeff brought a customer that laid down like 320 (don`t quote me) on a stock block and wasn`t pushing a ton of boost.

why on earth would you want a manifold that has been "rewelded by us" ??? i would prefer a manifold that was welded right the first time... the stianless steel does not like to be welded and then rewelded at all, it will become harder and more brittle each time it is heated that high.

well with the price he gave me...4400... for tuning and install...it seemes pretty resonable to me. no more then a drag or greddy kit with instal and tuning would cost. I would due the instal my self, but I can not really get ahold of good tools.

thanks for the replys

Another guy with a bad attitude toward turbo newbies where would you be if no one gave you support?

It's not a bad attitude dude. I did my homework and when I asked most people did not give a lot of help (Pritos and Arturbo were always willing though), I had to learn turbos on my own. When I got my first car 12 years ago I had to learn on my own and from the shop manual how to work on it. I guess if you have lots of money to blow and don't mind missing out on the pride of doing it yourself, pay somebody else to do it.

I just think it's be a pain in the *** having a problem prone car that you know nothing about and can't work on yourself.

And like I said, check the pawn shop for tools. For under $100 you could have every metric wrench and socket ever made.

Default Re: import builders "killer" turbo kit (mplex2000)

but see the thing is, I DONT have lots of money, and I dont want to do something wrong then just spent thousands of dollars on something that doesnt even work. I AM a newbie at turbo's, but hey I am learning, I know how things work and I know about the turbo, I mean, I would rather watch and learn how to instal a turbo and watch how to. its not like I am just gonna hand over my car and go make it fast. I do things everynight, and try as hard as I can to research the product I am purchasing(thus the reason I posted this in the first place). I am sorry if you dont like newbies. but it would be allot more productive if you help instead of critisize. there are also other problems such as.. I live in apartments and am not allowed to work on cars. I dont have access to a garage nor tools. and I am pretty much alone here, I am a kid living with his mom, I dont really have someone more expirenced to help me with n e thing. So my best answer would be to help someone with the proper area, tools, and expirence to install, something that so many things could go wrong with. I am not trying to start an arguement or n e thing (if thats how I come across) I am just trying explain my situation.

thanks for all the replys and help!!

Cool that sounds allot better, i feel much the same way you do, allso Arturbo was the one who get me on my "turbo" feet. Sometimes i just feel bad for the new guys. Im sorry i took your post in a bad connotation.

i have a motor at importbuilders right now waiting for me to pick it up. im not going to use their turbo though. when i spoke with jeff, he told me that the reason they reweld the manifold is to make it stronger. ive seen the manifold in person and it does look good.

edit: it may be over kill if your motor is not built though.

Default Re: import builders "killer" turbo kit

the $4400 is alot missing from the $6000 dollar kit.

I have no idea why people think that $6000 kit is expensive. They think its like a Drag kit or something.

Read what it comes with. Its a complete solution.

The $4400 is like what the drag kit comes with, but mine, and its installed.

Lets see..

322@10 PSi stock gsr motor.
353@12 PSI built GSR motor
373@12 PSI built IB motor
400@13 PSI built IB motor
480@17 PSI built IB motor
255@6 PSI built IB motor.

We designed the kit to be the best. There "could" be something better out there, but we have not seen it yet.

Thats what we are all about. You want the best, you come to us. You want the normal 230 WHp@7-8 PSI on your GSR motor, you buy a drag, or whatever.

Come check it out. We are excited about what we have to offer over here.

I know we can get you excited too.

Jeff

That's funny, we routinely get 250-265 at 8psi on DRAG 3 GSRs with Hondata.

Maybe they anneal or heat treat it.
