Finally finished after a couple of days of off and on work. its a 97 with 88,000miles so slapping a turbo in it was a must....

Real nice! What's the a/r on the turbine and are you using anything else other than the SAFC for tuning? Let us know how this thing drives.

Nice set up.I'm lovin' that hood, I always get a little tingly for a kouki anyway!

[S13FX]

Get either a BTM or something to tune timing. Other then that it looks great ..

Is that a real garrett? looks like ebay kit

[S13FX]

It does look mighty nice for an ebay kit ..

[480sx]

+1 for ebay kit, SSAC manifold for sure

I'm running the SSAC T2 bottom flanged manifold and I've not had any problems! They are pretty good for the price. -see sig-I did spring for a Garrett, though..

I cant quite remember what the a/r on the turbine was. I wanna say .62 but I grinded that off as well as the a/r on the comp. housing. So the turbo is a ginuine garret with a turbonectics dual port adjustable internal wastegate. ---Real easy to adjust the boost

and yes it is a ssac top mount manifold( you can tell by the dual drilled t3 and t4 bolt pattern) but it fits great and should hold together for a while. If it doesnt, I'll let you know.

The only fuel management right now are the 550cc's, Walbro, and the Neo. Soon there will be an MSD setup to help with the ignition part. Other then that I don't see any problem with the neo being that I'm subtracting fuel not trying to add it.

i hate to be the bearer of bad news, you are goin to be disappointed after using those cheap parts for a while, ie, no real tuning device to retard ignition, ssautocrap manifold, and cheap couplers and worm clamps.

[eazye2000]

So where did you get your turbo from? And how much was it? I'm STILL in the market for a new T3.. My T2 is old news... I got bit by the boost bug.. lol

Oh man thanks for letting me know all this. I have no real clue whats going on-- this is my first turbo install.........

This car doesnt move much. It is 1 of 5 of mine. next spring this thing will be on a dyno getting tuned out with all the appropriate tuning devices. I wanted to get all ofo the hard work with the kit out of the way before it got cold. This setup wont be seeing more then 12lbs so why spend the bigger money on all of the couplers and clamps. I have 4 layer couplers where needed and t-bolts on the problem areas.

anyways thanks for all the comments guys.

This kit was given to me by a good friend of mine that owed me some money... lol

You might wana think about eventualy geting a msd btm or something to control timing if you wana boost past 7-8.

[HPmakesMEsmile]

hey yeah I was going to ask what ignition control most people use on their nissans. Like whats most popular with everybody.
