I Need A Turbo!
 

I own a 2000 Kia Sephia and I am looking for an easy and cheap turbo to hook up to my 1.8 4banger. If anyone knows of any that will work for this type of car, or 1 that will work for any 4 banger; hit me up at busterchris@yahoo.com because just about everyone at www.streetkiaz.com/streetkiaz3 will buy a lot of turbos also. Thanks a lot and please hit me up.

its not really a turbo that's ur problem..im thinking its the tuning and the manifold thats ur main problem.

00 sephia actually has a pre-cat style manifold... he will just need to build an adapter plate, he has tons of room in there for just about anything.

Wow you own a civic so now your cool because they sell bolt on products for your car. My bad, I forgot how hard it's to bolt on aftermarket parts and not have to fab them; by the way are cars are just as quick as yours so get a life and quit trying to act cool. Are any of the turbo's that you's have made or will fit on my car even though? Thanks

You didnt just say your kia sephia is about as fast as our cars... lol.. Unfortunetly, I am a Nissan/Kia tech for 4 years, so I have drove all kinds of them. Kia's are slow as ----, they need to come with factory turbos, lol..

You do have some advantages, your engine bay has alot of room for a turbocharger. Your block is cast-iron and closed deck, and the sephia 1.8 has a nice set of thick rods. Intercooler mounting and everything else also looks like a breeze. The only problem I think you will run into is fuel/spark management. The Kia fuel system is returnless, so a FMU will not work. You will probably need to run a sepereate pump, with a seperate line, to say an additional set of 2 injectors with a type of controller so they only come on when boost hits. Kia's evap systems are so ------- sensitive I think your CEL is going to be burnt on in your cluster ;)

Good luck, and if you ever get your setup, I'd like to post it!
