I want to turbo my lude but i am short on cash by a longshot to get a decent setup. And i highly doubt i will ever boost over 8-9 lbs, i just want a some extra pep. I was just wanting some imput on this turbo kit i saw on ebay, and i know ebay isnt the best place to buy anything, but once again i am low on fundage and this caught my eye and was just wanting an expert opinion on this setup.

^^^There is the link to the kit^^^

 

bumpage

 

Then you have no business boosting your car........
Let me ask this; If you buy that kit, boost your car, and pop your motor.......Then what? Bus rides or bumming rides....take your pick.

 

ebay turbo = future problems for your car lol u decide

 

FIXED

 

thats what i was afraid of. can u tell my why? why it would have a better chance of popping my motor over the more expensive kits?

 

Actually.....that wasn't my original point. You can barely afford a turbo kit, whats the plan if you pop your motor? Crapy wastegate lets you overboost!?
Now, when you have the $$$ to rebuild/repair/replace your motor.....Boost away!
Same advice I give people about Nitrous....and those kits start at $2-300 used.

 

so the kit itself isnt bad? the manifold looky pretty shitty and i was ganna get a different one, and i could get a new wastgate for saftey. and i wasnt planning on boosting much at all, i would be happy with 6-7 lbs.

And i have thought about nitrous too, i just want a lil more go. And i have had nitrous on another car b4 this one so i do have some experience with N2O. You think that would be a safer bet? I would have it tuned for the nitrous.

 

6-7psi VS 75 shot is pure Nitrous WIN!
I have driven an H22@8psi and it wasn't even close to my H22@75shot
IMO its the difference between a high12 setup and a mid-high13 setup.

I can't view ebay @ work.......

 

the button it is then. lol, This is why i love you guys. Thanks alot.

and i can copy and paste the whole page so u can read about the whole setup and tell me your thoughts. i would appreciate it.

That is all the specs it gives me on the ebay kit.

 

Buy a Nitrous Express GEN2X kit /done

 

but nitrous would be the cheaper route, the only thing is with the nitrous that i ALWAYS get caught with my bottle empty. someone is talkin **** in thier Ford NuttStain (Mustang) and my bottle would be empty. but my car now has no problems hanging with mustangs like it sitts, i just want to smoke them and smile.

 

ok , sounds like a plan to me. what kinda numbers do u think i could put down? all my mods are listed in my sig. and what numbers do u think i am putting down now? and i know this will be a guesstimation.

 

A JDM H22A with i/e on the dyno I use probably wouldn't break 160whp.[Its a Dyno Dynamics though]
2-20# bottles in the trunk. Problem solved.

 

lol, ya. how much is that NX kit you were talkin about? and how big is the bottles?

I really want to do it with electric bottle openers and have it where my spare is in the trunk so i can be sneaky with it. lol I hated having to get out, pop the trunk, and open the valve in my other car, everyone was like, 0o0o0o0 what r u doin? baby need his bottle? lol. And it deffinatley sucked when i got caught at a stoplight with it off.

IIRC the kit is ~$1,000 NEW. It comes with the Purge and Bottle warmer. If you opt to buy bottle openers, DO NOT buy the motorized valve opener type. The Solenoid type is much better. Kit comes with a 10# bottle, but you may be able to pay for an upgrade to a 15 or 20. You can always find used 20#'ers on Muscle Car Forums.
