Turbo Kit....Interested people please read

Only4u...Im glad I answered your question.

Having a turbo was my first intention for my car. I almost had these brothers install one but there shop closed. Then I went to Vector Perf. and had a SC instead, that was almost 5 years ago.

I would love to see this happen. And you bet I'll be in line for it. But since I live in EPA capital would it pass. See the neat thing about SC is that you can remove it easily then put it back.

Good luck and keep us updated.

That is a good question about the emissions. I believe that it would have no problems passing if you remove the throttle body elbow and basically turn it back into a non aspirated car again. Thats how I plan on running my car at the track. I am going to do a few runs with the elow off then I will put the elbow back on to complete the turbo flow again. Let me know what you think.

TT sound phat. Yea, we do need a price.

;) lol. non aspirated. That made my day, he is going to run his car with out air? to each his own, but when I run my car at the track I leave it naturaly aspirated, it works a lot better. [img]graemlins/fluffy.gif[/img]

Formulao96, just out of curiousity where is the shop that you are working with? a TT kit would be bad *** . would the engine need forged internals to run more then 6-7 psi? (just your best guess on the last question)

[Formulao96]

The shop Im working with is in Warren, RI. A TT kit is a great thought, but very difficult to accomplish. And a kit running 6 to 7 PSI does not have need for forged internals.
&gt;&gt;UPDATE&lt;&lt;
My intercooler is coming in tomorrow(monday) its getting put on (hopefully) next saturday, and Ill have dyno runs if everything goes well. It is a 30"L x 5"H x 3"W intercooler dimensions, and should fit neatly under the car in front of the plastic flap that draws in air from under the car. After my car is straightened out I will be planning out the kit with them. The biggest thing is that everyone wants their AC(i cant blame you guys) but my car does not have AC so I cant really be a test car. So if this whole thing goes through, when it comes to the whole intercooler piping situation then Im going to need a car to measure it on to get the piping to work correctly around the AC. I will keep you guys posted.

[phoenix64]

Formula, what belt do you use to cut out the ac?
I was j/k before sorry.

Im all for it, i was more interested in a TT setup but a single turbo would be nice too. Keep us posted

[Tiago]

u will run way slower with the elbow disconencted and still running through the turbo....u might also over spin/overheat the turbo because it will keep spooling trying to boost and never acheieve that.

[Formulao96]

Pheonix... do you mean what belt size? I believe it was about a 46 and 3/8 or something like that, but be sure to take a string and measure out all the pullies to see a fit for your car.

[ChronoGN]

I will want it if its under $1500. Can you make it under that if I'm going to get all the added components myself?

[phoenix64]

yeah I was ooking for a part number, but I'll try that. thanks.
So are you going to build a turbo kit?
I would sell my powerdyne if you did.

[Formulao96]

I got home from school a few days ago, and im settling in at home. But I am going to sit down with teh guys and draw up some plans. Ill keep posting, its just I have to wait right now for them.
