My custom turbo kit

[Supercharged Probe]

Not here ofter, but thought you guys may find this intresting. Link to my build:

*foribdden link*

Tons of pictures in that link, but here are a few just in case:













Everything you see is desighned and fabricated by me. Using a Precision 6262 turbo this setup is capable of 600+whp.

Pretty nifty, Any plans for heat shielding that right side exhaust pipe that runs under the transmission? Don't wanna cook your transmission...

No need for shielding, there is plenty of air flowing under thre so the heat gets taken away. I have run this setup all of last year without any issues, with many many passes at the track.

NIce!!

Any lag due to postion?

There is less exhaust piping with this setup than any of the top mount turbos. So to answer your question, there is less lag, and I get full boost by 3100rpm. It is very easy to run a large down pipe with this setup too.

I am actually building these as kits, and will be selling them for less than any kit out there.

How does the weather affect the turbo... thanks to the placements it's pretty more exposed to the elements than other setups. Also, what price will you charge for a STOCK block kit.

The turbo is a sealed unit so there is no problems there at all. I have driven my in the rain with no probelms what so ever. The intake filter is located beside the starter so there is no way it can suck in water on a rainy day.

The kit with everything is $4700. This includes a 6162 Precision turbo, Tial 38mm waste gate, Tial 50mm BOV, Silicone couplers, T-bolt clmaps, 550cc injectors, walbro 255 fuel pump, Exa scavenge pump (the best you can get)...basically a complete kit but NO EMS. There are so many options out there and so many prefer different ones so I left it out.

You can email me for mor info: boostedprobe at hotmail.com

Great. Thanks for the quick reply. Finally, I take it the kit is for the VQ35DE... is having a "REV-UP" VQ an issue? Probably needs a different tune, but that's more of an EMS and not builder-type problem I guess.

You just do the kit, not the install and tune. Got it.

My car is an 06, so rev-up. It fits all 03-06 models, including the G35. I can do the install if you drive up to Edmonton, AB, Canada.

Thanks! I would love to be able to come... but I'm on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, in Europe. But on the other thread you posted, (which has been forbidden by the mods...) I gathered that you're doing a pretty good installation manual-DIY-kind of thing, very very detailed... so I guess it wouldn't be a problem for a shop and/or mechanic that knows what he's doing.

Lastly, I know that the kit doesn't have an EMS, since everyone likes a different one... But I'm curious as to what YOU suggest would be the best.... optimum EMS for this kit. Bang for buck type-of-thing. For a stock block not a built one.

The kit comes with a very good installation manual, and almost every bolt/nut/washer is lables. So, anybody can install the kit.

Bang for buck EMS would be TurboXS UTEC. Probably the most commonly used out there and you can pick one up used for about $550.

Spital2bad:

remember since you have a revup, your risk to go forced induction is a lot less than for us 03/04 guys.

A good tune is imprative regardless, but your motor has beefed rods and rod bolts which is where on the 03/04 90% of the turbo induced failures were.

Fred..

[spitalul2bad]

Nice. Thanks for the info Fred.

[PalmerWMD]

Your english is so good. Are you an expat or native Romanian?

And do they have any tuning shops in Temeschburg?I thought outside of Bucharest there wouldnt be much if anything like that?

I think the High-rev motors have this "advantage", but with a 10.6 CR. Research will shot that the stock VQ35 (any version) will hold 400whp, if you push past that the risk amplifies greatly. All the rods can/will start bending if you really decide to push things. Timing is key, yes, but the limiting factor are the "weak" connecting rods.

Thanks.

I'm a native Romanian but I did my grade school, junior high and high school at the W. Shakespeare high-school... which ended with Cambridge certificated English diplomas... so basically, I could teach English anywhere... Pretty good school, too

Temeschburg (Timisoara) has an "ok" tuning scene. A couple of turbo-installing-shops (which you can trust to do a good job), a couple of dyno-ECU-tuning places, the whole lot of Dealerships from Dacia (local car) to Lambo or Porsche, and a whole mess of body-work and paint shops... I guess I'm pretty set; whatever my "car" needs. It's not a big city, at most it has 400.000 people... and about 750.000 in the "metropolitan" area...

Bucharest is a lot bigger and only about 300 miles away, so even if I need something more "exotic" than my local shops can manage, it's not a huge problem to go there. Also, from Timisoara, Vienna (Austrian capital) is also about 300 miles away... and highway cops are not that often so you could even speed your way and get there in 4 hours.

All in all... It's easy to find what you want and someone trained to install it. Affording it is another thing, though. Money's tight lately... the economy's feeling the US pinch even here - only it's time-delayed. It's gonna be a while until it recession ends and actual growth starts.

.

Is the Schengen agreement fully implemented for Romanian citzens now, so you can cross into Wien without dificulty? Is your German as good as your english?

I hear French and German are still very popular second languages in Romania and the dominance of english as second language is not as overwhelming as in more western europen countries?

Are there plenty of good roads?A family friend was in romania 5 years ago and the fotos she brought home showed a lot of very low end roads (but she was pretty deep into Transylvania Hill side, visiting relatives from the german minority)

[spitalul2bad]

I feel like we're kind of drifting over the thread... a bit off-topic. But, here I go...

I'm alright in German. Enough not to get my a** kicked in a bar while rooting for the opposing team. I can understand what a german-speaker is saying... although replying (correctly) is a bit of a stretch.

Since Germany and France are closer to Romania than England (not to mention the US), their languages have been taught more in schools than English. However, that is changing with the newer generations. All high-school kids in Romania are required (!) to study TWO different foreign languages. (I had English and German). Plus Latin in some cases. (our language is of Latin descent, just like Italian, Spanish, etc.).

Since January 2007 Romania is a FULL-rights member of the European Union. So Schengen & all other priviledges are ours too, just like Italy, France, Spain, Germany, etc. No border crossings at all. No passports. You can drive wherever you like. From my town all the way to London, Paris or Berlin... NO papers (like visas, insurance, medical) or anything. It's pretty cool. And every country having Euros is easy enough as well. Same money everywhere (almost. although Euros are accepted everywhere).

The roads have improved. They weren't great in the 1990s but the main roads that link cities are pretty good. Naturally, if you start branching out into smaller towns or villages, you'll probably get into some rough stuff. But that's okay since it's just been 20 years since the fall of communism which set us back about 50 years or more.

To make a better impression of our roads: my friend has an Audi R8. It's low. Really low. And he hasn't dinged the front splitter at all. Lambos, Porsches, Ferraris, Aston Martins, Maseratis are common occurence, not to mention the garden variety Audis, BMWs and Mercs. There's even a nice sort of drag strip and in the summer plenty of people turn up with their 600 hp Evos and STIs and race M6s and Ferrari 430s. This in a town of 400,000 is not that bad. I can imagine what it's like in Bucharest, the capital.

During my college years, we had some American teachers come and teach English literature and it was always amazing seeing them wonder at how Romania is. They had this idea that we're some backwards a** country... spouting things like "Ooooh! You have cellphones! Wow!"... and I'd tell them "Yeah, since 1993. And we get 3G and WAY better signal coverage in 99% of the country which you can't get in the US. And way better pricing at 0,01 cent per minute." Usually other nations visiting are better informed (like the Germans or British)... but (no offence) most Americans think the rest of the world is far behind them in terms of civillisation and technology. Which is hardly the case. So it's nice when someone actually takes an interest in what the other parts of the world are like.

Damn, I really wrote a lot. Stealing the Turbo Kit topic. Sorry again.

[PalmerWMD]

Thanks for the answerS!

I think this thread hi jack was my fault In any event it was a benign one

This is very true, I am an imigrant to Canada so I can speak from experience. I lived in what is now Croatia, a province/state of former Yugoslavia. My family moved here when I was 13 (29 now) and life continued I guess. When I enrolled in to school here, a teacher asked me if I have ever been in a car. I really didn't know what to say, mainly because I was in shock. I couldn't believe that this person was a teacher.

The funny thing is that Canadians make fun of Americans, because they don't know anything about Canada.

People here think that this is the greatest place on earth. The saad thing is they have never left their litle city to see what else is out there. Everything here reeks of Capitalism, they try to make money on students trying to get an education, taxes are 46% combined, roads are sh!tty, and everything in general is very expensive.

The police are out all the time tryin to catch people speeding, red light cameras, seat belts...ect. When you call an actual crime in, better pack a lunch because they are not in a hurry. No money solving crimes.

[spitalul2bad]

There's a word for what you're describing: ignorance. Most people are just ignorant... they don't know and they don't WANT to know what else is beyond their little world. Nice to see Nico ISN'T such a place.

Hey! I've been to Croatia! Lots of times. Going through Zagreb is a short-cut when I go to Venice in Italy (and Rome, sometimes). It's really improved... especially the toursim. They make billions from people going to the seaside (the Mediterranean) in the summer.

ok, ahem

[ffrpwner]

do you think you could make a kit for dual exhaust?

[Supercharged Probe]

do you think you could make a kit for dual exhaust?

If i had the exhaust here, yes.

The exhaust that this bolts to is like stock, with a large dual outlet muffler in the back. Except that the piping is 3" diameter.

Basically a megan exhaust like this:
