1g turbo in a 2g...

[Tallen]

what all is needed for this. may have found a (14b?) for a reallly good price.

You need a standard mitsu install kit from like rre.

 

[Tallen]

is it worth it L2R? or should i skip this cheap turbo? (which i would swap out anyway later down the road)

To help you determine if it's worth it.... all that you'll "feel" different is that the turbo pulls till redline, instead of "falling on it's face"


A short kit - gaskets (manifold, re-use o2), J pipe, ss oil line, water hoses
mod your existing oil drain line and water lines

A 14B is a LOT bigger than a T25 in the grand scheme of things. f you can get the turbo cheap, and spend a couple bux on the install kit, I think you'll be happy with the results. You are talking about a 250HP turbo compared to a 325++HP turbo.

that sounds more convincing Nos. hmm...how much is the kit? i dont see it on RRE. i am very mechanical, so i am sure i could figure it out.

 

[Black95GSX]

The kit is over priced IMO ... they have the "bare bone" list... go with that and you'll be fine.

 

[NosLaser]

The kit is 'easy' but I agree with BlackGSX in it being much less expensive to do most of it yourself.

give a few examples of what i amy have to do myself

 

[L2RTSiAWD]

You basically go find or buy all the water and oil lines like the kits come with. and some people fab there own J-pipe

The main part of the kit is the J pipe, see the 14b outlet of the compressor wheel is on top, not bottom, so the J pipe takes it to the lower IC pipe
