custom kit for my d16y7
Ok, i'm still learning... I was thinking about purchasing a turbo kit from SSautocrome on ebay... that would include the manifold, turbo, and downpipe. I would like to use the S-AFC for fuel management... first off, is most of that OK? and second, i wanted to know where to tap the oil feed, and return lines?? Ok, and where do i go to get the piping made to incorporate a intercooler, and get it to the TB
enlight me on anything else i need to know... i was hoping to get this job done for less then 2,000??

No one likes SS autochrome, everything they make isnt really good, they have bad success rates!

Re:custom kit for my d16y7
Ok, so i want a log manifold that will place the turbo so i can retain my ac and power steering..... i guess i need a T3 turbo with internal or external waste gate... not sure about the downpipe.... i need to T into the oil distributer above the filter?? and tap into the oil pan for the oil return line.... and i need custom charge pipes made and i'd like to use the S-AFC with 440cc injectors....thats all i've figured out....
what brand manifolds and turbo's do i want to use in most cases am i going to have to have custom work done to attach the turbo to the manifold?? Do i just modify a EX downpipe to mate to the turbo?? Where do i have charge pipes made?? how do i tune the S-AFC to run 8psi?? I'm really trying to understand and do my research... and i'm sure you've got a few years on me..... this is what i've come up with in 4 hours... is there any site with general information that will help me put together a good kit...
