Custom Turbo kit for 2gnt. Parts and information

[EvuLFleA]

Instead of replying to 2-3 emails a day asking about custom turbo kits. Here is a low down on a very budget kit. A lot of people think this can be done for $500 (the cost of a turbo and bov) so this will show you about the minimum you should expect to pay. Here is a cheap setup that isn't too difficult.

T3 turbo - best to get the big housing since it isn't too much more. $150-250
Custom manifold - can be made by an asog member for $250
custom downpipe - I was quoted between $80-250 depending on place, size, and difficulty
Boost dependant fuel pressure riser - regular fmu or sfmu $75-275
Accell in-line fuel pump - $50-150
Fuel cut defender - missing link works $55
Blow-off valve - 1g, hks standard, lots can be found under $100
Gaskets - manifold, turbo, etc. $40
Flanges - downpipe, exh housing flange, etc. $25
Gauges - egt, fuel, boost - $175
Intercooler - 1g or MKIV works great for under $120
Piping - either press bent or buy mandrel bent from jcwhitney and piece together with couplers $120
Oil line/fittings - I used SS lines so about $100 total

I always miss something. If anyone would like to add or comment go for it. This is a cheap setup that someone could easily do

Questions?

with the t3 setup wouldnt you also need to increase the size of the factory injectors.

only if you push enough boost that the stock injectors cant handle it.
I believe this is for getting a turbo on your car, not getting the most of a T3 on your car =)

ALso, the STAR STage II kit uses a T3 with a FMIC and doesnt include bigger injectors

Jeff, just make a website so you don't constantly have to be putting this stuff up.

Star uses the T3/T4 60/60 I believe.

Stock inectors will work to about 7 psi. After that you will be running them too close to 100% duty cycle.

Ford 30lb injectors can be found for under $100. Add that to the list.

that's what i thought. so bacically you do need bigger injectors, i mean who with a new turbo setup wants to run at a restricted 7psi.... not me give me 2 or 3 days and i'll be pushing for 12 to 16
