Hey someone mentioned a turbo kit from the site below

http://www.turbocalculator.com/sale-turbokits.php

Does that look like a reasonable beginning to a custom turbo proj? $700 (shipping included) seems like a pretty good deal for a remanufactured turbo w/ WG + custom manifold. Anyone bought from this site? If so, how do you like your setup?

it looks okay. i assume you're talking about the top kit that lists the 420a motor, right? i think for the money you could do better. buy the time you buy all the other items needed to make your kit complete you will/would have spent close to the same thing for a complete kit. plus with a custom jobber, you will have more headaches than you want.

i think you could find a better beginner "kit" on ebay. do some shopping around.
EDIT: especialy since for that price the IC is not included. you can do better.

USED TO HAVE...Everything you wish you had, and then some...

You are somebody special Tim, you matter! - from the admins (but nobody likes you, because your username is just like that other guy's, and you whine a lot)

These guys are awesome...

Looks like SS autochrome stuff.. Some of the 4G63 guys say they crack very easily

I was going to get that one but now that you mention it, thats the 4G63 flange right!?!?!?

It looks decent quality, and since Im running a Garrett T28 turbo from a silvia, its perfect. I hope someone can vouche for em.

edit:

It IS ssautochrome!! go to their site, same pic! And its the 4G63. crap.

ive heard alot of bad things about turbocalculator like they are impossible to contact..they take forever on delivering the parts etc etc..also ive heard lots of bad things bout the ss headers..also on another site a guy i talked with said that that specific manifold has been discontinued due to manufacturing problems..so be weary...i went with a custom log manifold.

Stone Racing is aka ssautochrome...period.

so if you go along with all of the horror stories etc we speak of, do not buy that kit with their manifold...or you could search, and find the answer for yourself to have a self-educated opinion

i think thats the kit im goin for what yall think just as a base then ill get my injectors and fcd and what not

These guys make a log style manifold for the 420a and you can get any turbo and wastegate flange you want(or no wastegate). As for getting a t3 turbo you have plenty of choices out there. You just have to look around.

good luck getting in contact with them, when i started to put together my turbo kit i could never get in contact with them. I jus went with the hahn setup, they have good customer service.

www.extremeintercoolers.com can make you a manifold like the on in my sig.
