i got the hookup on a lot of parts but i still spent a lot (too much). i got my stereo stolen so i had a fat insurance check to spend. i think i'm pretty much done buyin stuff, now i gotta do the install. i might sell the nitrous kit to buy a turbo xs electronic boost controller and some other stuff.


but you said cheap so:
hf manifold and adaptor plate - $100
fmu - $80
dsm turbo from junkyard - $0 - (throw it over the fence)
oil lines, drain and fittings from autozone - $50
boost gauge off ebay - $20
downpipe made at exhaust shop - $50
charge pipe made from radiator hose or dsm charge pipes - $50
total: $350

its non intercooled, has a shitty exhaust manifold, no bov, and has almost no fuel management (hmm sounds like the greddy kit) but its a turbo kit and will work for 5 to 7 psi. (good for 40-50hp)

Re:whats your cheapist turbo setup
 

14B $150 freshly refurbished
Starion FMI + end tanks modified $ 150
Nissan 300 ZX BOV $10
HF manifold, I already had it
Adaptor plate, I made it myself
Spearco Boost gauge $30
Charge Pipes $ 40
Down pipe $ 30
Eeprom burner + chips + ZIF + PM6 $85
DSM 450s $55

My own seat and tears, priceless

Total $550.

I still need:
3" exhaust
Boost controller

Re:whats your cheapist turbo setup
 

Sorry buddy but im from australia.So i cant help u there but it cost $110 aus for a basic rebuild kit no prop's or shaft just seal's and o rings.Also u the guy that got done over with the manifold yeah.U could have still used that manifold as a couple of ppl in the homemadeturbo site have,just turbo hangs alot lower to the ground.Also ill give $100 aus for the 02 if its not damaged.

Re:whats your cheapist turbo setup
 

damn blades that setup sounds cool, do you have any pics? can you beat the v6 or v8 swap s10's?

Re:whats your cheapist turbo setup
 

you could do it for free if you did it right. bust into a junk yard and yank a turbo. steal an fmu some where. dig up some pvc pipe. "borrow" some duct tape from a friend or neighbor. while you were at the junk yard get an hf manifold. use someone elses drill to put holes in the turbo or manifold to make it work right. I'm pretty sure that's all you need to be turbo. its no beauty queen but it will give you a few more horses until your car explodes.

Re:whats your cheapist turbo setup
 

all these are after shipping,

T3 turbo, manifold & adaptor, downpipe,
fittings and both oil lines- -----------$430
getting turbo rebuilt-------------------- FREE
all welding - ------------------------FREE to about $50
BOV, ------------------------------------ $75
injectors,------------------------------ - $50
clamps connectors---------------------------- $25
aLL (4 U bends) charge pipes------------- $79 *roughly*
starion FMIC - --------------------------$120 after midifications

so far i am looking at $800, and i am not tryin to pass $1000

so all i have now is just to install..later

Re:whats your cheapist turbo setup
 

my cheapest turbo setup was an automatic 92 eclipse gsx that my neighbor gave to me. it was free, and already setup with a turbo.:)

Re:whats your cheapist turbo setup
 

this is what I got so far:
14B,SMIC,440's,1G BOV= $175
HF&adapter plate= $95
TD12a=$125(not sure which turbo I'll use yet)
Lot of stuff yet to get..being realistic, I'm figuring I'll have $1500 to $2000 in it before it's all over. I'll do it right the first time, so hopefully it'll run really good and last me a good while.

Re:whats your cheapist turbo setup
 

UPDATE:

i am buyin a starion intercooler with no inlets for 100, after gettin the end tanks on, i am lookin at about 120-140.

i am now looking into fuel management...so i am looking at about 1200-1400 after the complete KIT is installed...
