Posted by chrysler kid, Nov-15-02 03:26 AM
A kid i know from scj\hool is offering to sell me a tourbo and about everything with it from a gst with about 64,000 i was wondering what kind of modifications i will have to do because the manifold is not a direct bolt on right, i dont have a lot of cash either less than $1000
and hes prolly sellin for $800 or so with every thin a gst has stock

What kinds of modificcations will i need to make or is this a good deal? i dont know muck about engines by the way

You'll need to have an exhaust manifold made up to mount the turbo. Then there's the other stuff: FPR, fuel pump, hoses and clamps, fuel lines. It will take you over $1000.

T25 is shit.
2G intercooler I have heard is harder to fit on our cars than a 1G. They are $30-75 anyway.
2G BOV is shit.
Manifold would be replaced.
Can't use much or any piping.
Can't use downpipe.
Still need fmu, fuep pump, fcd, downpipe, manifold, way more than $1000.

I *think* I could do a turbo kit for under $1000 but it would not be pretty :)

My kit right now is at about $1000 which includes: star fmic and all stage 2 piping, hrc fcd, 3000gt bov (being replaced), 14B turbo, custom (alain) manifold, vortech super fmu, egt gauge, electric fuel pressure gauge, most oil lines and taps. I need about $400 more in parts I'm hoping and than come spring or at least nice weather I will attempt to make it work. At the end I'm hoping around $1300-1400 for a stage 2. I have gotten great deals and been trying this for months so don't expect to pay less than me :)

I'd recommend saving a little more then get an HRC stage 1. It will at least be a complete kit with a bigger turbo.
