I was just wondering if anybody has used this kit and how it has worked for them.

http://fullerscustomshop.ecrat...60721

I have looked around and had some people tell me to do the jgs turbo kit, but i've read from alot of people that if i get that i am going to need to get an upgraded turbo and i don't feel like spending that much money on a jgs turbo kit if i'm gonna have to replace half of the kit itself.

What do you mean "replace half the kit?"

Aside from this being in the wrong section, it looks like you need to do some more research. Please don't get that kit, but if you do at LEAST replace the turbo. You can't trust no-name parts like that.

personally i wouldent get it. to me it looks just like thos no name cheap a** kits they sell on e bay.

it might cost a bit more but imo it would be better to try and build your own kit and get a good name brand turbo.

i myself have never had a turbo vehicle but i been putting togeathere my own turbo set up using the info from the net and this web site .

honestly its pretty easy it just takes some time and a bit of effort / research.

I wouldn't trust it.

I would throw away the BOV and WG.I would use the DP and intercooler pipeing.IDK about the turbo but the exhaust manifold looks good.Also those AN fittings look nice.

You would have to have some one look at the kit in person to figure out it is well built (welds, design etc) the find out the detailed spec of the type of metal used and how they were welded and if the metal it treated at all.

These issues only occur with no name companys because reputable companys don't have these issues.

OK, thats what i figured, I've looked around and found some kits that i would love to have but money is my bigest problem. I would like to find a good kit that comes with almost everything in that kit except for a turbo. that way i'm not wasting my time and money on a turbo that I will have to replace.

Pretty much the only reason that i was looking at that kit is cause it has so much stuff in it for the price.

and what i meant by replacing half the kit, is that alot of people have said that the turbonetics kit that comes with the jgs kit isn't that good at all and is recommended replacing.

Would it be better for me to buy some used parts such as the manifold, intercooler/piping and buy a new turbo, downpipe, BOV, WG, and everything else?

Cause for the price of most turbos, i was looking at getting a t3 turbo manifold and everything else and buying a garrett gt35 turbo

who are these people that said the turbonetics unit that comes with the jgs kit need to be replaced? cause i have that kit, with a turbonetics t3/t4 50 trim .63 and its of top notch quality. turbonetics is a large company and they produce good quality turbochargers.

And why do you think there is so much for so little? Answer: because its all s*** parts that were manufactured by only the most amazing 3 year olds in china.

JDM SPORT T3/T4 TURBO KIT FOR NISSAN 240SX KA24DE ENGINE, this is all I have to see until the mouse wanders to the back button.

If money is tight, your best bet would be to pick up parts from other Nico members in the classified section. Most of the sellers are very honest about their items for sale. I understand you want boost NOW which is what I am getting from you wanting to buy a whole kit, but in the long run it is worth it to buy separate parts that you KNOW are of good quality.

EDIT: Turbo is not something to cheap out on.

yea, thats what i thought, cause turbonetics is one of the most common turbo makers around, i just didn't know if the turbo that came with that kit may be one of the lower end turbos that they made that isn't as reliable. Also I was wondering, if i had a t3/t4 turbo manifold would i be able to bolt it up with this gt35 turbo.

I don't know much about turbo setups and i am curious cause my brother has a garrett gt28 turbo on his 240 and i believe he has a t3/t4 turbo manifold

It depends on how much power you want to put out. From my understanding the GT35 is ok up until around 500hp. Please do your research on boosting your car then come back. I can tell that you have no idea what your talking about and that your heard from a friend that "turbo will make you go faster!". Please PLEASE please, do your homework before posting a thread. It just makes me mad.

Also, I can tell that you don't even know where to begin. I'm sorry bro but please just research your s*** before you post anything your unsure of.

Wow ur a genius, what gave you the idea that i don't know much, was it the fact that im asking questions or was it the fact that I flat out said that i don't know much about turbos.

I have an idea of where to begin and thats why i'm tryin to find out what manifold i need. then i'm gonna get the turbo, fmic/piping, downpipe, BOV, oil lines, etc. and then start on my electronic, like turbo timer, safc or or pissibly save just a little more and get an aem ems. idk because there are alot of options and guess what, when you ask people that have done this before guess what, thats research moron.

and I'll do my research but next time you post why don't you make sure that the person isn't making statements instead of asking questions before you start saying he heard all his crap from a friend.

I know it prob didn't make sense to alot of people but oh well, theres a reason that people ask questions, they need answers. And I was asking the question to find how much of it was good or bad. Cause guess what, if people said that there was alot of usable stuff in there it may be worth it. and please stop quoting tokto drift ur a$$ kills a good movie.

Ok jackass. How about before you waste your time posting a thread about some mad tyte jdm bulls*** turbo you use the search button idiot. Its there for a reason and this has been covered probably more than "omfg wtf do i do for a SR swapzzz". Ask a stupid question and receive a stupid answer, just make life a little easier next time and search.

When you get flamed, don't get your panties in a bunch too. It happens all the time and if you don't like it i recommend that you leave. Just a little pointer.

Wow, i though some people had problems but you just made it certain. I didn't say it was anywhere near realistic i just said it was good. and i can deal with getting flamed, just not by a b****. I didn't ask "hey I'm getting this kit what do you think?" I just asked if anybody had it, and that i was LOOKING at it. LOOKING does not mean BUYING. I figured it was probably cheap and I now kno this givin what all the other people have said. So if this thread bothers you that much just don't post or read anymore of it dumbass.

this tells me you have more learning to do. anyways DGK is right, your not ready to do a whole turbo set up. here is my honest attempt at helping you tho, reasearch FMU set ups on the ka. its the easiset way to get a little boost, its only about 7psi or 220ish whp, but thats more then enough to get your feet wet, then when you truly are ready you can do another set up and shoot for bigger power with a real tuning system. a 8:1 fmu is perfect for you right now tho. visit the kat section of this site and READ there is tons of stuff in there. dont make a thread in there tho untill you have a more specific question. i hope this helps

I appreciate someone who actually is willing to lend a word of advice that is helpful. I know i'm def not ready to throw everything on and put it to the floor out the driveway, I just want to get the parts i need in so i can have everything built up to use. I'll try reading more in the kat forums and hopefully find some discussion forums that I can use. thanks man

.....and as far as morimoto....it don't take a rocket scientist to figure out how a turbo works, the force of the air from the exhaust spins the turbing and as it does it spins the air pump turbine forcing air into the motor at speeds insanely higher than just regular intake hence FORCED INDUCTION. and that sucks i was hoping that someone on here was wanting my gameboy color for their turbo setup. dangit
