I am starting off with the turbo, I am going to pick up a t3 off a thunderbird turbo coupe, for 50 bux, I wirk at a hobby shop, so I was planning on getting boca bearing, ceramic ball bearinngs for it, and a rebuild kit, if someone could let me know the price of the rebuild kit it would be appreciate greatly.

by the way I have a b16a j spec in a hatchback.
I am guessing that the turbo will be 50, the bearings about 30 ceramics are expensive. also I am going to knife dge the impellers on the compressor side. and the rebuild kit? I am guessing 50 to 100 bucks? if I could get a definite price thad be great.

next thing, the intercooler, theres a guy that makes really awesome intercoolers for alf the price of a spearco. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2410564559

$275.00

I will be using a ebay ghetto cold air intake for the charge pipe from the intercooler out to the intake manifold.

$72.00

the rest of the charge pipes I am just going to go to the muffler shop and have them bend them, theres a show that does mandrel, but that might be costly, so I might just do the cheap stuff and hand polish it so it shines. that will cost about 50 buks.

$50.00

the turbo manifold. I am going to use an ebay equal legnth manifold. with a mount for an external wastegate.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2414259123
$230.00?


the oil return lines and feed lines. I will be using the expensive ones. I think I need about 8 total feet. thats about 45 bucks at the shop that I am going to. thats rape but Id rather be safe than sorry.

$45.00

I am going to use a tial external wastegate 38mm

I have heard the turbo xs rfl BOV is really freakin loud, from what I hear.

$144.00

and I am going to get the greddy profec b with the boost button that sits on the steering wheel, it has a setting for hi boost and low boost to save gas a little.

I plan on only having to use 4 pipe couplers they are 7.50 a piece for the good ones. I got a wholesale connection at one of the shops in town.

I am guessing 7.50x4

for fuel manegement, I am thinking of getting some rc 440 injectors, or jacking some 450cc dsm injectors, but I dont want it to look like ----. so we will see how desperate I get. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2414527835

$279.00

and misc stuff like t taps and bleeders and vaccum hose I am guessing like 20 buks.

AND THE GRAND TOTAL FOR MY BAD *** TURBO KIT IS>>>$1540.00 not including shipping,

I will be buying everything off of ebay except for a few things, and I wont ever use buy it now unless I have to. so it may be hella cheaper al teast 500 or so. I cant wait. I have to finish this semester of college and in a week and I will start collecting eveything. oh yeah, I have a vafc already so I dont think I will have to get an fmu. afc hack ya know!

let me know what you all think! cheers!

That's all fine and dandy but I didn't see 'fuel' anywhere in your whole post..

I added manegement in there, is running huge injectors and an afc ok to do? because I am a little afraid. or should I keep the afc and add in an fmu too

I have the fuel pressure regulator already. so if you are going to imitate my setup add 50 I guess.

T3

How much could ya get 45 and 90 degree bends for?

ya know, I never checked, but Ill find out for you, I may need one now that I think of it.

also, I really wanted to know what everyone thought of the quality of this setup? good bad ugly?

I think that is the "Meng" equal length manifold. They are made in Thailand, and they are prone to cracking. Should have some plates welded to reinforce it. Try checking HT, there was a big post about them somewhere.

sounds like a good list forget about how it'll look. if you want to paint some high heat stuff to make it look decent buy erf manifold paint from jc witney im using it on my manifold & charge pipes it's a medium to light tone gray & looks good.
