A friend has a turbo he said he would sell me for cheap but it's just the turbo. I didn't tell him i would buy it or anything but he said he was gonna bring it to school so i could see it. I assume it's something small, nothing too big. But my question was, what would i need to buy to run a small turbo on the Si? And how much would it cost me?!
Turbo Setup Question
- Thread starter EM1_ProJect
- Start date
I'm watching this 99/00 ex by me, and he has a t3/t4, some wastegate, something else i think, and just got an intercooler.
i dunno how much it cost him, i could ask about whatever tomorrow night, but i think it was pretty cheap, just needs piping

you are a n00b search lol
nah i havn't....which is why im gonna do alot of reading if i decide to buy the stuff. but first off i wanted to get an idea of how cheap it would be to do the whole custom job. i'd have my mechanic do it of course, but i just wanted a rough estimate on pricing and what i would need for an idea before i even decided.BlkVtec98 said:
one of the questions i have to ask him tomorrow. he has a 300zx TT so he knows quite a bit of s**t. i've been talking to him about my s**t but i havnt asked him about the turbo idea yet.BlkVtec98 said:
would i need all of this:
T3/04 Turbo
Turbo Manifold
WasteGate
Oil Lines
Coolant Lines
Downpipe
Downpipe Adapter Plate
Charge Lines
Intercooler
Gaskets
Pods
Boost Gauge
Injectors (what size 450cc?)
dam thats a lot of stuff to buy
just buy a pre-fab turbo kit, or since u also live in fl, s/c so theres less heat in under your hood

hmmm, that's looking pretty tempting for my gsr lolEM1_ProJect said:

WasteGate
Oil Lines
Coolant Lines (you arent going to need these, its not water cooled) just get a bigger then stock size turbo and you wont have to worry about stupid s**t like this
Downpipe
Downpipe Adapter Plate ( no)
Charge Lines
Intercooler
Gaskets
Pods (dont have to)
Boost Gauge
Injectors (what size 450cc?)
ok i wouldnt mess with his dinky turbo, just get one that will work with other parts you have to get
the main 3 important pieces are
manifold turbo and downpipe all 3 need to work together
the mani needs the right flange to fit the turbo
and the dp has to A..fit the car and b. fit the turbo
then you dont ened stupid plates to help make it fit
you dont need a fmic persay, but its a good thing to have
you will need a WG, tial or turbo smart
Bov
intercooler piping or a charge pipe from comp to tb if you run no ic
oil lines return and feed, misc fittings, a npt adapter to get oil from the stock oil pressure sender location
after that everything else is just extras and nice to haves
you will eventually need a new clutch
if you want to run a good amount of boost you will need fuel and tunning
a boost guage is something good to have, i wouldnt boost without one, id also throw a EGT in there and if you have cash oil pressure
always have extra cash when going boost, things come up you will need misc piece here and there
you could piece a good turbo kit together for 2k... anyless your going to get shitty parts
dont just go cheap because you want boost, it will cost more in the end
learn
then understand what you want out of the car
and ask someone that knows boost, hit me up if you want

in florida, if your running higher than 6psi, get a fmic.....dont use a FMS, get a EMS, like hondata s200+b or uberdata(search google) if uberdata you wotn be boosting very quickly, you ogtta learn lots....id reccomend a wideband o2 sensor as well(for a/f guage) boost and a/f, specially a/f are need for boost....get a inlinepro mani, nothing else.....dont get rev hard or drag, they are inferior to inline pro...

wideband isnt needed for what hes working with plus he doesnt tune whatsoever
AF guage,bleh waste of money if you had a real wideband thats all you would need
uberdata is ok but i like hondata much better
but ones free and one isnt
