For the right price, I'd be willing to sell my parts... list is:

2002 WRX TD04L turbo + wastegate $400
2002 WRX BOV $100
Turbo XS HPMBC $100
Apexi S-AFC $420
Venom 440 cc injectors $300
Holley 255 lph F/I pump $300
2000 Golf 1.8T intercooler $150

or $1600 for everything listed there. You need: manifold/pipes/oil lines - that is all you'll need to have yourself a turbo.

Use an HF manifold, and have an exhaust shop do the pipes, you can be running boost cheap and correctly. No check valves needed or anything... S-AFC takes care of all fueling needs.

sweet man but right now i dont got the money to start this project, sounds like a great set up tho bro...im starting to slowly save now for it.....what kinda power u think i could make in my sohc with a set up close to this?....u jsut made me drool....lol

imported_-TAL-

i was going to do a junkyard setup on my DOHC ZC, this is what i was going to use

tdo5h 14b turbo (You might want to use a t25, better for ur smaller motor)

Will cost around 200

Front Mount Intercooler - 370

DSM BOV - 40 USD

DSM 450cc Injectors - 50-70USD

Ghettodyne fuel management - depending on the year of your car, u need a 90-91 pm6 ecu
and need to chip it - 100

All piping - 200ish if you can weld

Also need oil lines and fittings, as well as getting your oil pan tapped.

Then various A/f, boost gauges to be safe. All i can think of atm.

Gl and have fun.

or you could use a T3 turbo off the saab 9000s...thats what Im using on a d16z6

basically find any turbo car with soem nice shape parts...soem are better than others but all will owrk good....best is a 1g talon 14b is a slighlty bigger turbo (so to speak) it can flow some decent cfms...the intercooler is slightly bigger thant he 2g and the 450's (injecorts) than you need the pipes mani (hx) than a afc to trim injecort's...ang ghettodyne is cool but still has issues...liek major surging...turbo probe will do with a decent intercooler but a smaller turbo which will still be good..I mean we are talkign a DIY turbo kit so it wont' a a t4 with hks parts etc.....

coreyhayman

true eh,lol......thx guys, im not to good with turbos and whats the best set up and whats not, but this will b something im really looking forward 2

dingus8

ya man get pumped cause your car will have soem torque and soem speed......jsut go and rape and turbo car out there for parts...I"ve been following the homemade turbo site since it began liek years ago so I knwo quit abit about these setups.....

coreyhayman

sweet, ya man im gonna slowly gather all the parts needed.....i jsut gotta save some good coin first....but yea im hopin this will make my car pretty quick. i wanna make a daily driver that looks pretty cool but yet has some good performance and i can takr it to the track on weekends and just have fun with it

the power levels I'm looking for from my single cam is 175 wheel HP and 150 torque initially, and an even 200 and 200 wheel after an ignition solution (MSD 6BDL) and maybe an intercooler upgrade.

red90dx

some of the best turbo's to use are : t25, 14b, ihi rhb5

coreyhayman

yeah this was the cheapest way i thought to make some good power out of my car, cuzz swapping a b16 is about 3g's installed but y do that when i can slap a turbo and nitrous on my car for probably a bit under that and have a car that would make a b16 look silly...ill prolly also have to upgrade my clutch im assuming to handle more power, anything else id have to do to my tranny?

dingus8

look into "euro drive" clutches they are very cheap and they are local to.....

imported_-TAL-

do not screw it up is all i gotta say lol.

coreyhayman

meh if i blo the engine im not gonna car to much, a sohc zc is only worth like 600 bills, so im not to worried about the motor but im gonna make sure its done right for sure, i prolly wont b doing any of the work other then gathering parts needed.....

ok ive got some advice if your planning on sprying your turbo engine.....

1. Do your internals...(if you happen to spray while under boost you will have huge compression problems and u will need to have strong internals...)
2. make sure you only spray to reduce turbo lag (this requires ALOt of tuning and is almost not worth it....you gotta tune the computer to allow the nitrous in only until full boost then stop the flow so maybe fabricating a valve or somehting that can stop the flow once full boost is hit kinda like a wastegate...anyways yea its alot of tuning and customizing but it can be done....

enjoy ive got a turbo d16 and its fun...

for more help go to
turbod16.com

dingus8

haha ya spray with a turbo on a d16 = kaboom....to reduce lag eh...any turbo that big is gonna cost some huge *** $$$$$ besides are you sprayign outta the whoel cause that will instantly roast yoru tires....jsut abit of info on that...and why nto jsut turn the boost up and run race gas instead or paying 1000 bux for a nitrious kit...?spray is a waste of money in your route

coreyhayman

yeah i kinda see your guys point.
