Pieced together turbo setups

[carkid0007]

Instead of wondering about turbo kits, I was wondering about people that had turbo ka's that were pieced together, what did you use ?, how much modifying did you do yourself ?, I was searching but got tired of finding stuff for sale, and people asking what turbos were...and ka-t.org...so I thought I would just post about it.

turbo-GT2540r
manifold-wasabigarage.com
intercooler- Hybrid kit and greddy kit
BOV-Greddy-S
sr20 O2 pipe,downpipe,test pipe
injectors-370cc from Sr20
S-afc
-3 oil lines
-10 water lines
-10 oil return line

hope that helps.
oh yeah and a small battery. i ran the car with stock injectors for awhile. next on the list is a boost controller and z32 MAF. max boost is only at 3500rpm about 8 lbs of boost not fun at at that point. just leaves you wanting more!!

Basics:
t3/04e, safc-2, 370's, 1st gen DSM BOV, jgs manifold, Starion IC, Tial wastegate.

Not as Basic:
All the piping & DP layout and welding were done by my friend at Palmer Sport Tuning (local shop). Pics and complete list here www.cardomain.com/id/North240

I am doing a T3 with JGS manifold, 370 inj, Water to air intercooler, custom exhaust and SAFC for fuel
missing
BTM
turbo timer
guages
oil lines
Walbro or Z32 fuel pump
Plan to run no more that 7 psi on stock MAF, stock engine 93 with 10x,xxx miles on it

I've got my plains laid out, but still working on the cash flow:

t3/t4 turbo
boostdesigns intercooler (small, but fits without modifying bumper support)
tial 38mm wastegate
1g DSM blow-off-valve
walbro 255 fuel pump
a couple of guages (boost, oil temp)
a borrowed wideband for an initial tune

I'll probably just go with the S-AFC and 370cc injectors.

I'd like to get an MSD to adjust timing in boost, but we'll have to see how the finances go.

And I'm getting the manifold and entire exaust system custom built by a local shop.

not in yet... but have it..

log style manifold
turbonetics 60-trim t3
walbro fuel pump
sr smic
internal wastegate at 8 lbs
megan- boost and oil pressure guage
custom downpipe to trust catback

need to buy:
z32 maf
460 injectors off rx7
s-afc... n/e one selling?

For the price of the 2 of those (MSD BTM + SAFC II) you could afford an enthalopy/JWT ECU. Better IMO if you want to upgrade.

Not entirely true... I got both for way under the price of a new ECU, you just have to shop around... :D

hey meme how much u guys selling the ka bottom mounted manifold for? is the t3 manifold going to be adapted w/ a external wastegate?

[NickBW]

Abit off-topic but you guys might be interested... Check out our next issue of Grassroots Motorsports. They will have a great story on building a budget turbo system for just about any car, using junkyard parts.

wasabigarage is expensive!!! SSAutoChrome has cheaper manifolds, ugh! I hate tight budgets!
