Who all made their Turbo Kits? What parts are you using? What kind of price did they talley up to? Were there any parts that gave you trouble?

 

here is what I am planning, don't have everything yet...

MAX REV STAINLESS STEEL TURBO MANIFOLD ($399)
GARRETT T3 TURBOCHARGER (~$200 ebay)
TIAL 35mm WASTEGATE ($249)
HKS SS BOV
CUSTOM DOWNPIPE AND INTERCOOLER PIPING
SPEARCO INTERCOOLER CORE WITH DRAG ENDTANKS ($475)
HONDATA 2B STANDALONE ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM ($550)
OBDII TO OBDI ECU HARNESS ($250)
P74 OBDI ECU ($100)
RC ENGINEERING 440cc FUEL INJECTORS ($285)
FAL RED RADIATOR FAN ($362 OPTIONS)
NGK BKR7E SPARK PLUGS (~$3.00 EA)
AUTOMETER ULTRA LITE BOOST PRESSURE GAUGE (ATM-4301) ($42.95 SUMMIT)
AUTOMETER ULTRA LITE EGT GAUGE (ATM-4365) ($100.99 SUMMIT)
AUTOMETER ULTRA LITE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE (ATM-4322) ($37.95 SUMMIT)

 

Thanx alot for the info. Is the flange of the garrett like the flange from the turbonetics turbos? I have heard that its really hard to find a flange to fit it. Just what i have heard though...

 

My kit is pretty much all home made. I think the total was about $1300. Most parts were new other then the turbo. piping, manifold, and DP are all homemade. Flanges I got for free from a friend

 

Mine's all pieced together... total about 1700$....

f-max manifold
4/3 garrett
turbonetics w/g
custom downpipe
custom piping
spearco w/a intercooler
GReddy BOV

beat a c-5 vette with LS pistons in a B16a <8.3:1 C/R> by about 3 cars on stock injectors with a vortec FMU...

Not too shabby.

 

Not shabby at all. How much does custom piping run and when can i get it made?

 

I am still in the process. Very very close to finishing. Heres parts/prices
T3 Rebuilt SMALL, so small, off of late 80's Saab 9000 A/R of 48 on turbine and 45 ( ? ) on compressor. ==== Ebay $175
I will be upgrading soon after turbo is in, believe me.
DRAG3 manifold ==== Partstrader $175 included autometer boost gauge
Wastegate ==== Free -- Internal w/g on T3 +A plus, its adjustable!
Downpipe ==== Last part of project, probably not too much. Will include test pipe too.
Starion I/C ==== Junkyard $50. Need to have piping moved to side--still on to do list.
Custom 2.25 charge piping ==== 3 u-bend from JC Whitney $75 shipped
1G DSM BOV ==== $40 shipped
Stainless steel oil feed and dump lines w/all connectors ==== Total approx. $50 -ANplumbing.com and Ebay (find some fantastic deals for this **** on Ebay)
Misc. gaskets and flanges ==== About $45 - RoadRaceEngineering (10% discount if 5 items are bought)
Fuel Pump ==== Still need tp purchase, Walbro HP 255 -- $107 from autoperformanceengineering.com

Damn I think thats everything.....
I will be upgrading the expensive stuff in the future, but for now I just want boost. Enough to put me in the mid 13's hopefully!
Happy Boosting

almost done...

 

Hearing all of your successes with peiced together Turbo systems gives me hope! Im now considereing doing this so I can use the parts I want to use. And maybe have Money left over for Hondata 3b.

 

Mine is also pieced together.

Check it out here:

I am running the non-Zdyne model.

I am in the process right now of peicing a turbo kit. The cost will be minimum and the results will be fenominal. I know the setup to run fast, I just need to get the rest of the parts. In about a month the car will be complete and runnin hard. The key to getting parts is to know what works and what doesn't with each setup.

heres my list:

Max-Rev manifold,downpipe,turbo $1,200
Tial WG $225
Apexi Silvia IC $550
HKS SSQ BOV $175
DRAG IC/turbo piping $350
Hondata stage 2b $600
RC 440cc injectors $285
Walbro pump $169
Stainless Earls line/fittings $100
Greddy ebc $150 (used)
Auto Meter boost gauge,oil temp,water temp $60(used)

now this isnt el-cheepo route at all but i'm using top-grade components and i wantto do it right the 1st time instead of buying a kit first then ditching the fmu,missing link,fitting,and wg.

 

Agreed Mine is nearly completed as well:
I'm a bit **** about buying used parts, so everything I buy is brand new, definitely nothing wrong with used parts, just a personal preference.
