i want a sohc-T

[deevietboi]

k well i own a black 90 hatch sohc 180+k mileagebroken tension bar,leaking radiator fluid from water pump(broken?),rear dent and fender dent...

planning on taking out my a/c sence everytime i turn it out it starts to leak...i have to get a new fuel line (leaking gas from end of the car..) thats how the car sits rite now.....

ok i want 2 no how much its gonna cost to turbo a kae. i just want a really basic turbo t3/t4 setup making somewhere from 200-250hp. im thinking 2-3grand tops on a turbo setup? almost everything used except fmic and pipings, oil lines, maybe new exhaust

im going to turbo my 185+k motor just to see how the setup works. then if i like it(probly will 2)m going to by another kae and rebuilt the motor and plop in the kit into the rebuilt kae with some new sutff also

Get the car fully working first before you plan on doing any turbo projects to it homey.

Turboing a KA-E is great but, the KA is so picky that if you don't have everything working properly stock you will have total nightmares later.

Trust me.

Or just ask SSTomek :-p

I'd follow his words exactly. If you car has problems or isn't up to snuff, adding a bunch of aftermarket components will compound the problems. If I were in your shoes I'd pull the motor, have it bored, new pistons(cheapest forged pistons you can afford), new bearings, oil pump, gaskets, valvestem seals from toga(they rock hard) reinstall it with a new clutch, break it in and make sure you don't have any issues then save and get your turbo equipment. I'd get a jgs starter manifold kit, a super 60, some 480cc s15 injectors, walbro, afc, and a wideband and call it a day. I'd even use an internally gated turbo so you don't have to be out of pocket for a wastegate, you won't need more than probably 10-12 psi for your goal so it will work just fine. Get a BOV of choice and an intercooler kit from ebay. Alot of the things you can get used and that'll save you alot of money. You do have to be cautious obviously but you can get some great deals if you shop around. Thats my .10 cents.

fersure im going to get all the fixed tension bar is only 30-50bucks, then get a hole new fuel tank and line system probly gut the trunk space. the dents i dont really care to much untill later (sleeper look lol) and the water pump can wait rite? i just dont turn the dam a/c on. the turbo is goign to be free. i have a selection from a 94 tt supra my bro took those 2 turbos and converted to single t, another buddy has some t25 and t3 somewhere in his garage...

so ur saying i cant do to much with 2-3grand? is that even enuff for the turbo parts?

I've done budget KA-T for under $1500 for under 8psi. That's with a new safc 2 and clutch

Are you sure that the A/C leak is not water from the evaporator? Where is it leaking? If it's under the car drips then it is water from the evaporator case most likely.

A/C's generally don't provide very visible leaks unless you see neon green liquid, which would be the oil. In that case your a/c would not be working, or if you turned it on and left it on you might kill the compressor.

Taking the A/C off of a car lowers the value tremendously.

If you do end up taking the A/C off, please remember to go get the refrigerant sucked out by a shop. Do not let someone charge you for it. It's free or if you still have R12 they might even pay you for it, and it will save the environment a lot of heart ache if you don't vent it into the atmosphere.

Moving on to the other problems.. Replacing the water pump is a quick job and it's not very expensive. it's just like 4 bolts, a gasket and some sealer and you're done. Flush the radiator and or look for a tutorial if you are inexperienced with cars.

Replace the water pump and save your engine - if it overheats with no water in it you can easily toast the engine.

Fuel leak could be from the rear end dent - maybe it punctured or shifted the gas tank enough to cause a leak. Those are a pain in the *** and pretty much the only thing to do there is replace the gas tank. You can't weld it back together or it will explode. Two straps hold the tank in, and it's a pain to get in and out, but yeah that's a major to do thing. leaking gas is not good.

So if there aren't any other immediate action items lets move on to the turbo system.One of the most expensive things for this setup will be the exhaust manifold (if you are unable to make one yourself.) Not many people make things for the sohc engine, although they should, so finding a cheap manifold will maybe be hard to do.

In my opinion, if you are buying used parts, why make an exhaust one of the new items? Build your own exhaust, or buy one used or something, save money there beacuse it's not an important item. Spend the most money on the fuel system. Same goes for the IC and piping. Those things are not as important as a good fuel system or a good turbo, so you should buy those items used if you can.

if you want to save yourself a few months then i would get the car running in stock and put like 500 miles on it just to make sure. BE PATIENT! Haste makes waste and if you want ot save some time and think the car will run with the turbo parts you will just exponentially increase the time of your project. I am learning that the hard way
