my 48/60 spooled at 3400ish nagglitanuys

 

haha, and let me guess,

stealthmodeperformance for oil lines for the cheap price of winning an ebay nignog card?

haha you 2 crack me up.

actually stealth I was thinking along those exact lines, here is my list

150 Turbo: T3
40 Manifold: HF
60 Adapter plate
80 Down pipe
100 Chargepipes
150 Intercooler
60 BOV: DSM 1g
50 450 Injectors Oil lines
30coolant lines
120 gauges
250 FMU/Chipped ECU
150 clutch
200 misc

1340 total

this is a little price list I made a few mights ago, but as I said im cheap as ---- and want to see if I can do it cheaply as possible, under 1k.

time is on my side so im gonna try and get the best deals

 

Damn thats pretty pricey with using a HF mani setup. The most of my home built setups run between 400-500ish. I just think your overpricing the stuff but thats ok since you shouldn't be hit with a price over that when buying it and in the end it'll be like you spent half that original price you came up with.

 

yeah i would be stoked if i could do this for 400-500 bucks.

Howd you get everything for so cheap? let me know

A good clutch will cost you more than $150. I got my FMIC for $65 shipped. it was used of course and not a bling bling CCA or JRC, but it works beautifully. got my turbo for $125 shipped. T3 48/60. it starts to boost at 2500 rpm and definitely hits full boost by 4K.

The reason you have to fab up a downpipe for this thing is because the O2 housing points straight to teh block. you could have it cut and rotated but thats a pita. It's cast iron.

1350 sounds realistic for a first turbo setup. I've spent a little over 2K on mine but I've also had to buy a lot of stupid ---- that you should have to.

 

NEWBIE QUESTION ALERT!

i thought the o2 fit on top of the hf mani?

and i think I could get a clutch for 150, I dont think it has to be th best for under 200whp.

what kind of clutch?
yes o2 on top of mani.
those prices are too much. don't you have a junkyard around you? pick u part is great.

 

about the clutch im not sure yet, i havent done much research with it, but last time I looked i think it was 150 for an exedy stage 1. yeah, im going to the junkyard tommarrow to see what i can find. Most my junk yards suck tho. somethings can be pretty pricey. im in california (---- emissions).

 

yea HF o2 is on the manifold but the T3 has an elbow with an O2 bung in it, so you would have to block one of them off or buy a flange for the DP and make your own.

 

the exedy stage 1 is a stock replacement. i got that and it didnt last long with the boost. spend another 50 to get a 6puck.
where in california are you?
