HELP.Trying to install a 20g.

[CheaCheaBoy]

Ok I just won an auction off of ebay for a SBR 20g.

Here is the link

I have every supporting mod to run this turbo.

What do I need to buy in order to have someone install it for me?

It has an internal wastegate, but it does not have an actuator I think its called. Where could I buy one?

I did not have my feul pump, 660 injectors, exhaust manifold, maft setup, 1g throttle body, and safc installed yet. How much do you think it would run me to get it all done?

Honestly i would knock alot of that stuff out yourself. It is prob going to be alot more than you want to pay if a speed shop does it. Its not hard and its worth learning more about your car if you want to go faster.

Injectors are probably the easiest thing you will ever do besides intake, the fuel pump is a pain in the ass, but even tho it was a pain it only took me like an hour, if you disregard the fact I left it over-night because I had to disconnect the fuel line under the car and didnt have a jack with me. Exhaust manifold will be a given with the 20g, you can do yourself, although make sure you have a good install kit.

Honestly that stuff you could get done in one day, if you have the tools, if not budget it a week because you will honestly go back and forth to your friends picking up tools and end up only actually working on the car 30 minutes a day as your friends say, oh you can pick it up tomorrow or some shit like that.

I would not be surprised if the shop tried to charge you 500-600 to get all that stuff installed.

Can you look at the link for my turbo?
Do I need the oil line and oil feed, etc.
Can I put the feul injectors in without tuning it?

No you can't put the injectors in without having something installed to compensate for them (ie safc etc), you will run way to rich.

As far as the install goes, since its a Mitsu center section Im gonna say it will be the same as any 16g install. Check out www.vfaq.com for install instructions or www.roadraceengineering.com also has some good info on what you need/don't need.

Oil feed yes you will need, should be the same as one for a 16g. Oil return you can make your stock one work, just need the file the holes abit larger for the different center section spaceing. Water feed and return lines Im sure you can make them work (just have to bend them to clear the comp housing) and might have to get some rubber flex hose to extend the length abit. The turbo itself with bolt right up to your exhaust manifold & O2 housing. The only other thing, is if the pic is correct & your still running the factory lower ic pipe you will have to rig something up as that turbo is down firing & the stock is passenger side firing. You can get an elbow welded to the turbo or get a lower pipe made.

If you have more mods that aren't listed in your profile, you should update it. You will want to keep the boost fairly low as well if your running the stock side mount intercooler. A front mount should probably be on your list of things to get.

Everything on that list you can do yourself with no mechanical background accept the AF Controller, i'd have a shop install and tune that for you, but the rests you could do in a weekend easy. Make sure you have a good exhuast system too, i mean otherwise you could break all that and your turbo if your not flowin good.

Well said. You can use all of your stock feed lines/banjo bolts to get it to work, but I do suggest getting new turbo bolts (4) and getting new 14mm copper crush washers so that your banjo bolts don't leak.Also, get a 1g oil return line (they're MUCH better than 2g's) and hack off the center part and replace with some fuel hose for flexibility. IMO, I suggest using a 28" -4AN feedline for your oil feed line coming out of the oil filter housing. You can find those for 55 dollars from SBR. I don't know if anyone answered just yet, but you will also need to get a wastegate actuator. You can probably buy one off of someone with a trashed 20g..
