Very NOOB post, he misspelled TRUBO in the Title!

LOL, just diggin on ya man. Still a great thread!


As far as R&D, it sounds like he is still doing "research" on this that and the other, so I include that in my question about estimate hours on R&D.

 

thanks? lol =]

 

Hahha^

Awesome man glad to see you here and cant wait to see more.

Where are you from as in what region of the world?

 

Ct, usa

 

deffinately would love to see some pictures when you have them

 

how big of an intercooler are you going with for that setup?

 

not sure dimensions wise. My installer is gunna make the biggest intercooler he can fit. When i find out ill be sure to let everyone know. Once its made i can give more details obviously =] The kit should be installed within the next 2 weeks ... tonight is just the header build to make sure it fits ... but ill be sure to keep u up 2 date on the intercooler stuff as i k it is a tight fit!

 

Awesome man. Good luck with it all. Who/what shop is actually doing the build for you?

 

Makes me wanna get one. Maybe I will save the money instead of anything else I was gonna do to this car and get a turbo if I can get it for about 2k. Welcome and I definitely agree with noodile's comment.

 

Good luck on your build.

Sick, love initiative. Good luck. Please take LOTS of pics!

 

good luck with the build!

 

good luck,
interested in seeing pics

 

2K, is that parts or parts & labor for your guy doing all the work?
What's your estimate on how many hours it will take you to R&D and end up with a finished product?
Would like to hear more of your background, assuming you don't just jump in to doing a custom turbo.

 

not much R&D is needed, basically some tuning and dyno. the only reason why TK kits is so expensive is because it's basically plug and play.

 

Ok, as you can guess I know nothing about turbo installation. I understand the premise behind them, but that's it.

 

I wish you luck Garnettti.
Realy looking foward for the result!

Keep us posted.

 

$4k gets you a turbo, all the piping, intercooler, BOV, wastegate, custom header, harness, fuel managment, plug and play harness thats pre-tuned.... youre not saving money, youre gonan give yourself a headache!! lol i mean best luck to you and all, but its safer to go with a system thats specific for the car. your gonan need like 500ml injectors, and the fuel pump doesnt need to be changed. but that plug and play harness is a life saver

 

Kits are for pussies.

Real men piece and weld their stuff together. Then blow it up and start all over.

 

Headers arn't gunna be made till saterday now. there was a delay in the delivery of the piping. Will keep everyone posted!

 

bigger turbo.... putting out half the psi i am. so does it matter what size it is? the engine can onlly take so much boost. what about exhuast? youre not going to run a turbo on a stock exhuast and cat are you? plus tune, and dyno? theres the extra $1k so you pretty much spent the same as me! and powder coat the tubing all you want. you need to wrap it in the heatshield tape. that down pipe will melt wires in a heartbeat. it runs about 1800 degress at the headers. dont forget to tell him to put a heat shield on the firewall....crocks got so hot it melted the ceramic coating on it

 

1 dont powder coat your FMIC it'll clog it up .. paint it with ceramic or with heat dispersion.. (something that has thermal properties to it)

2 a bigger turbo isnt necessarily a good idea.. bu long as your smart with the boost you might be ok

3 what part of ct

4you shouldnt need to wrap the header

and 5 yes KIA he will save money in the end if his installer knows what he's doing lol however this also depends on the sch piping he's using compaired to TKs and such there are alot of factors to look at

 

im not getting my down pipe powder coated lmfao! Also i said im starting at 4.5 then going to 8 lol. and i k turbo kits doesnt give you a free dyno lol so how much did that run you? Obviously im gunna wrap the headers and downpipe but you dont wrap intercooler piping. I already have a cat back exhaust so subtract whatever you said that would cost. Plus im getting a free dyno and tune ............

 

Near Waterbury, CT

 

when you get it done let me know there are a few of my friends that live out in ct. we're trying to hit up the pike one of these weekends and we're having a dyno day august 20th

 

If you need a Air/Fuel controller or even a A/F and Timing controller then you can always go with Split Second. They even have an extra injector controller so you can run a 5th injector for fuel as a lot of aftermarket kits do.

As for the intercooler, are you keeping the foam crash bar or no removing it for more space? I know in some cars you can put in a much bigger intercooler by taking out the 5 MPH bumper.

Thanks for the advice! .. Im not sure about taking out the foam crash bar or not. Again i dont know everything and my installer is taking the time as we go to figure these things out ... People hava asked about the R&D of my kit and it is as we go for the most part ... researching what we can but expirementing as well. Thanks again for the advise! ill run it by my guy as an option!

 

Well when it's all said and done and the final price is totaled up let me know maybe I'll get this kit

 

I'm intrigued.... and like everyone else would love to see lots of pics as this happens, let your guy know that if this works out I may be interested too... Keep us posted and way to be a boss man! Kick that ass all over the place baby!

 

I didnt relieze this thread would get so big so fast. thanks for all the support and heres Just some proof that i have these parts and that im not just messing around lol:
