Guest SupraRussTT Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Can someone point me in the right direction of the cheapest turbos kits going? Will be doing the conversion myself so dont want prices with labour. Ive been on the powerxs sight and from what i understand they sell them for around $1000!? with an intercooler is that right as thats under a grand?

Daston Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 the kit is around the $1600 plus postage You will need injectors, Fule management, sparke plugs and fuel pump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Why exactly do you want to go NA-T, and furthermore, why exactly do you want 'the cheapest possible kit'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren-K Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 i suppose i see where he is coming from,with quotes going around £4000 fitted etc id like to read up how hard it is to do myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terribleturner Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Why exactly do you want to go NA-T,..... Rob, you NEED to go for a spin with GazziGSI And check out his 1/4 mile times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyW Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Rob, you NEED to go for a spin with GazziGSI And check out his 1/4 mile times Amen to that brother! I went out in Gaz's car and it made me realise how much i missed forced induction! it flys! I enquired at turbofit and for similar gains as Gaz your looking at about £4.3k all fitted and running around 400bhp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowk1uk Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 i suppose i see where he is coming from,with quotes going around £4000 fitted etc id like to read up how hard it is to do myself its not to difficult if you are handy with a spanner,just finished fitting mine ,but its quite labour intensive with the xspower kit you have mod the dump pipe and weld a flexi hose in the dp or they dont fit,its taken me around 4 days to strip and re build, drilling the oil return was the biggist effort had to jack the engine to get the angle drill in, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Rob, you NEED to go for a spin with GazziGSI And check out his 1/4 mile times Been out in Gaz's car My question wasnt derisory, i was wondering as to his motivation? Simply quicker or wanting to break records. it made a difference in my mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobSheffield Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Yeah, i really didnt phrase it THAT well. Was suffering fromasever headache at the time Dont worry though, i feel ok now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 drilling the oil return was the biggist effort had to jack the engine to get the angle drill in, just thinking out loud but would there be any benefit in using a seperate oil feed/pump system on a NA. Just thinking along the lines of using different oil to engine oil, possible reliability/spooling improvements? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SupraRussTT Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 lol well its really down to the fact i own a nice quick gti-r and always really liked supras but im really no good at saving up cash to my only real option is a na. But i do love my turbos so thats why i would look at buying a kit, ive done similar conversions before on other cars and theres nothing to fitting these kits, the worst is swapping pistons when you want to run a decent amount of boost. I dont really want the hassle of putting my car up for sale so was hoping to get a swap for a nice na. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renar Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Be careful with going with the cheapest possible parts. Powerful, cheap, reliable - pick two But i hope you will find what you are looking for. Extra power can never hurt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest SupraRussTT Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 well i might have an offer of a swap for a evo 3 gsr with 80k 95 on a n. so im thinking that might sell for more cash then mine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
