ok guys look...i have a bunch bolt ons for my car..its just that i hate "playing" with other cars on the street that are turbo'd and of course im only 18 and cant even come close to affording a turbo kit...wich i wish i could get ttranks setup man dude sweet car...but anyway...does anyone have a link to maybe a site on what id need to buy part by part to build my own...jeez i want a turbo so bad...please someone help me find a solution...about how much would i save and what are your tips or any advice?

 

Thanks.

The best bet for something like that would be a Turbonetics kit. You don't have to change your manifolds, exhaust, etc. It's a very nice kit and can be a DIY to save a bunch in install. I would strongly recommend getting a better EM than the reflash like a UTEC but it can be run on the flash.

By the time you got a turbo, intercooler, injectors, etc and had all the pipe made it would cost you more than the TN kit.

 

^ +1 i feel ya too man!! and im 22....i recently had the opportunity to buy the used greddy turbo's that came off this G for a super deal after it adopted some other custom turbos: https://g35driver.com/forums/showthr...t=91991&page=2 ...still would have needed a intercooler and some things + installation and we're talkin as least 5k for half used TT setup =/ i mean i do have a credit card but working to pay off turbos is not how i wanna live my life lol

 

by the way lurker hows that exhaust setup sound u have? i noticed ur sig and am thinkin dayyyum that must be LOUD!?

 

You can find Greddy kits new for $5500-6000 from time to time. Used TN kits go for ~$3k-3500 which would be a good choice for a budget. If you want to put a TT on your sedan, be ready to pull the motor. A ST can go on with a lot less work.

 

well actually i think my setups sounds really nice..i get a lot of compliments when i go place for the sound...even at my school with people who dont know anything about cars..

 

so a kit would be the best thing to do then?
and turbonetics would be a cheaper install..?
is it absolutely NECESSARY to have a front bumber with a huge whole in the front for the intercooler(i just bought a stillen lip but havnt installed it yet)
and what about a supercharger anyone recommend that?

 

the cheapest ive seen so far on the net is your setup ttrank...i see the greedy twin turbo kit for $5,019.....so you recommend finding a way to get this...i just think its gonna be to expensive...the tuning...emanage..all sorts a stuff...

 

oh wait just saw it comes with the emanage and what not....wait...so all i would need is the money for the turbo...and the installation...about how much am i going to be looking at..? (i mean installation and tuning)

 

After watching Horse Power TV earlier, I wondering how come more haven't done the STS turbo kits that mount in the rear of the vehicle where the muffler(s) go.

Apparently they also have a 350z setup coming out early this year.

The universal kit was $2995 and requires some minor fabrication of piping. But one doesn't have to worry about any under the hood fabrication as far as downpipes, exhaust manifolds, etc...

 

does it deliver the same amount of power though...?

 

The episode I watched today, they put the twin turbo setup on a C6 corvette. It dynoed 343whp stock and 543 with the turbo kit on 7psi. So I would say it delivers quite well. They were skeptical about the kit, but are believers now. They said there were concerns about pressure drop becasue of the piping. The answer was about 1psi drop but since the length of the piping was so far away from the intercooler/intake, it dropped another 100degrees, so there was around a 50hp increase in from temperature drop.

 

so this is going to be universal...?...then how come you said theyr making a 350Z turbo....i thought they were universal...

 

holy crap dude....hell yea...this thing is universal...and its only 3 k and has a CRAP load of power...and the shop i go to for all my work knows how to do it...time to save...i am deff getting this...

 

Hmm, seems like a good way to go for the price.
