Re:Sohc ex Turbo
 

Just keep reading the forums/FAQ and check out all the turbo/tech projects. You should be able to figure out most of it on your own. If you still have specific questions go ahead and ask them here.

Yeah, that's a pretty broad question. By electonics do you mean fuel management? It sounds like you need to do some reading.

No i know everything about all that, ur taking me for an idiot. i just need to know abotu bolts, flanges and gaskets such things like that.

Re:Sohc ex Turbo
 

There is no way in hell we could tell you what bolts and gaskets you are going to need. If we were standing right there looking at a pile of parts maybe. Every application is different.

96 sohc ec-every setup is different-i don't want to sound mean but do what i did-
take turbo, oil sending unit, etc
go to hardware store, and test fit all screw, nuts and bolts, and after the fifth time there, you will be a master at it-
you know, going to the hardware store consumes the most time-plan ahead, as Jeff said

Re:Sohc ex Turbo
 

hardware store ain't got ----.... you need to go to auto parts stores or mcmaster.com or some specialty place even if you have to order ----. i have been peicing my kit together for almost 1 year.

Re:Sohc ex Turbo
 

true value hardware has all my needs, they have a nut or bolt display which you just plug in bolt or nut and bam, you get the size, length, and strength you want
??? ??? ???

the true value store in my town, doesn't carry bspt threaded fittings in my town

Re:Sohc ex Turbo
 

order that one from www.summitracing.com. autometer and sunpro both make them. you might be able to special order it from your local napa, but if they have to order it you might as well too and cut out the middle man.

no no he needs a turbonetics turbo like mine (worth $800, I paid three) he needs a 375 dollar race manifold like mine. he needs a good blow off valve and an external waste gate, then for elecronics he absolutely neeeeeeed the gerddy profec e01 and the greddy emanage and the steering wheel buttin and a turbo timer so he doesn't ruin that pretty turbo of his. I think all the elecronics would run about oh, 1400 alone?!......

Re:Sohc ex Turbo
 

For that price u can get a standalone system which does all tht and more.
