Looking for a complete tubo kit.

I searched around a little and couldn't find much....I was looking at going with the greddy turbo kit for my 95 but I was wandering if anyone else has put together a complete off the shelf, everything needed kit for the KA. The greddy kit i found is also a little underpowered for me. looking to get about 250-270hp for a daily driver.

Alot of guys build their kit themselves.But if your looking for a decent kit the greddy kit is NOT what you want.

The JGS kit is good, http://jgsturbo.com/index2.html. You will still need some stuff though, tuned ecu or standalone, intercooler piping, BOV, some other stuff. But it's a good starting point.

I threw together my setup, but i used the JGS manifold and downpipe/dump tube. nice quality stuff.

This is exactly what I did. This way you can suit what you are buying to what your goals are.

I wanted high HP weekend/track car, so I went with 640cc injectors for example. If your only looking for a good DD with better gas milage, you could drop in some 370cc's and have decent power and much better MPG. It's all in your goals.

i prefer the JGS kit, but if you want to use a T2 turbo such as a t2871r then you can get bottom mount turbo manifold off ebay or something like ssautochrome and you would be able to use a lot of sr20 parts such as elbow, hotpipe, downpipe , FMIC, etc.

I have a t25 and it made good power for me. i made 247whp and 241wtq w/afcneo(recommend emance ecu). i am upgrading to either T3 or gt2871r(can make up to 400whp "i heard"). The only part i had to custom was the pipe to delete the cat which wasnt that bad.

Me like JGS kit. other than that just part your own kit together.

so what do you guys think would be the most cost efficient setup. I thought of going SR but I had one in my s13 and just wanted to go w/ KA-t this time. I would be satisfied w/ 240-260 hp. Just trying to get a ball-park average of the cost. Also, I've never really messed with the turbo set-ups much so its all new to me. XAT Racing out of Tampa done my SR swap bout 5 years ago and I was going to let them do the KA-T also buuuuut..... They have recently went out of buisness. sooo. Is there a thread that could tell me what all parts I would need to order. etc. I could do all the work if I knew what I needed. Just want to get all the stuff together before I start.

LOL if XAT went out of business it was because of their ridiculous prices on everything...

Now-

Cost effective is any T2 based setup, but Turboing in general is not cost effective.

It'd be best to go with the JGS T3 turbo kit, with a Emance or Enthalpy tune, especially if you're inexperienced.

If you saved and when with this setup, you'd be glad you did, JGS makes a solid bolt-on kit that fits great.. and really it's a GREAT priced T3 setup

If you want the most relilable kit possible, be prepared to spend some coin. If you want this to be a DD, i'd suggest at least refreshing the motor depending on compression and such.

For a DD, I'd do at least the water pump, oil gears, and timing components, just in case. New wires are a good idea too. For going turbo, you'll want colder plugs (BKR7E)

The following is a decent start for that HP range, IMO.

JGS Starter Kit - the main reason for this is the one year, no questions warranty on the turbo. Mess up the oil lines and nothing to worry about

FMIC kit from eBay. Use couplers and cut up the piping as needed. SR20 cold pipes line up pretty well. If you get an SR20 hot pipe with a BOV flange welded in already, you just need to cut some off and get a 90 or 65 degree coupler depending on your situation, thats what I did to save myself from finding someone to weld. You will need a BOV as well. I run an HKS SSQV, just so I don't have springs to worry about adjusting

An SR20 downpipe to mate the JGS kit to the rest of your exhaust. I personally reccomend the Megan Racing one, for two reasons, I've used it so I know it fits, and it has a flexpipe section so if you overheat the exhaust at all it will flex and hopefully not warp the manifold.

370cc SR20 injectors or slightly bigger ones, either from the classifeds or from Deatchwerks. You get a discount from them if you buy multiple things I think, such as the Walboro 255lph fuel pump you'd want.

I'd also reccomned using an FPR with that, again just to be careful with your DD. There is a kit from Enjuku Racing that comes with an FPR, a pressure gauge, and all the hardware and lines you need.

Emance tune, since you can just send him your ECU and have it tuned, and be done. Much cheaper then the Enthalpy. I run an Enthalpy right now, and I am happy with it FYI. Even with a tune like this I'd get a wideband O2 sensor, just to make sure everything is okay. It's saved my motor a couple times.

And you'll need some odds and ends to finish it off, like some vacuum lines, which you can re-use the canister lines since you'll be removing that . Some couplers and clamps here and there, etc.

It's not the cheapest setup, but it will not really give you any problems either...The saying for KA-T goes like this "You can have fast, cheap, and relilable - the problem is you can only have two."

Selling my kit, 1k, homemade T3/T04e ready to bolt on. You will need fuel mods, unless you want to buy those too.
