this wont help much but....whenever i hear the words "ebay" and "turbo kit" in the same sentence..i get a queezy feeling in my stomach.

looks the same as SSA to me. and theres a bunch of info on here about it. im not saying its all negative info though, people have been succesfull with their manifolds

Well, that's most certainly the SSAutoChrome manifold (I run that exact manifold currently) and I couldn't tell about the intercooler.

I wouldn't buy without knowing a couple things.

First, I'd want some up close photos of the inside of the intercooler. I'd want to examine the turbulators inside.

Second, of the turbo pictured, if the compressor truly is a T04E housing (which is a .60 a/r), then the exhaust housing surely is NOT a .70 a/r. That exhaust housing should be MUCH larger. It looks more like a .48 or .50 a/r or something.

I would also want to know what brand of turbo that is. If it's the SSAC turbo, you'd most likely experience failure very early. Many have been documented to have actually split apart (compressor housing).

So, to sum it all up, I'd say don't touch it. Buy yourself a good solid turbo (Greddy, Garrett, Turbonetics, etc.), a manifold you like and a good known brand FMIC (or at least one you can examine up close and find supportive data) and custom fab the pipes and such.

where can i get a good tubo kit for my 95 240?

where can i get a good tubo kit for my 95 240?

my my.....if we donated a quarter to NICO everytime this question was asked...it would be a MILLIONARE. haha..dude you gotta search around..its extremeley easy

[xero1]

the only tubo kit i found cost 3k and more with a fmic. is there a cheeper turbo kit?

[Craving4Boost]

3k isnt too bad. i know the IAP one is 3k but its quality and doesnt leave a headache with missing parts. go with JGS...pretty cheap

[xero1]

i have seen some people use sr20det stock injectors and sr20det t25 turbo with other parts and make 270hp and 300 ft torque at the wheel. the sr20det only makes 250 at the wheel with the same setup. how is this possible?

[xero1]

to get the t25 sr20det turbo to work do i use a sr20det exhaust maniflod?

[ChicagoS14T]

umm... i dont want to sound like a d!ck seeing as im a noob myself, but i just got a IAP kit running and let me put it this way: Cheap & TURBO KIT do not get along. TOOO many people want to boost too quickly!!! And that causes motors to get blown and people spend more money when they think they are saving money. DONT GO CHEAP ON A TURBO SETUP. At least not on fuel management and the Turbo and Manifold. Exhaust, other smaller things sure... who cares... but I wouldnt trust a cheap chinese made turbo off Ebay. Besides do your research dont just turbo your car cuz its "kool" and all the other kids are doing it... I just got my car "running" and I have enough small things to work out and its a quality kit and its far from being a reliable daily driver.... so yah dont go cheap and take your time.

Wow... you have a lot of searching to do..... t25 has a t3 flange.. which means whatever turbo manifold you get, needs to have a t3 flange on it also, so the two meet up.. there's tons of info on this subject, check the stickys at the top of this forum.

[Chezedik]

Wait, I think the T2x flange is slightly smaller. But for a T25 setup just get it all on ebay, SSAC gear, 370s and SAFC/Wideband. But consider yourself pigeonholed.

[Chezedik]

BTW, I have the SSAC Intercooler, and the quality isn't bad. Materials are good, welds are very clean, and it's bar and plate. Should be efficient to at least 70-75% for no bigger than it is (24*6*3). My only complaint was that I got it dented on the top, not through a passage, but still, come on. SSAC wouldn't return any of my emails, also, some dip **** spray painted XSPOWER on it, so now I need to use Naptha to get that off. I am going to go with their mani, but I would DEFINATELY draw the line at a turbo that comes from someone who's name hasn't been beat into my skull. I built my own Garrett Hybrid using only official parts, that **** is important.

Yes your right, the t25/t28 has a smaller fange then the t3/t4. Considering i have a T28.-Ricky

The SR makes 190whp, on the stock set-up. "with other parts" what kind of other parts. maybe uping the boost? maybe larger maf. But iam not sure about the 270whp, if iam wrong someone tell me(iam still in the learning process)I recommend for a small setup, not to priceySAFC/ Wideband370cc injectors SR, or Q45T25 SR turbo, or T28 if the turbo is used have it checked out please, Iam not sure if you can eye ball problems with turbo, ask Chezedik, seems like he knows lots about turbo. nice SSA front mount intercooler, with either custom piping or by SSA.Iam not sure which manifold, iam using the SSA, lots of people dont like but oh well, even though thats the only mani i can find for the T25/28 flange.And you can use the SR dump pipe, and down pipe, iam using those. 3inchAnd of course Gauges Boost/Airfuel.And what evre type Blow off Valve, i recommend the greddy Type S (nice sound)-Ricky

[Chezedik]

I am flattered. But seriously, I only know what I know by using the search function and dedicating myself to an informed decision. I should be boosted before summer. I am looking at about 300 whp.

[xero1]

on a stock engine or a built engine?

[Chezedik]

Stock engine.

whats the max safe rwhp can a ka24det make?

Easily put, the KA is bigger it is a 2.4 liter as opposed to a 2.0 liter sr

whats the max safe rwhp can a ka24det make?

there is no simple answer to this some people have made 350+ HP on stock internals allthough i would not go much higher than 300 on a stock motor.

on a built motor i have seen some 600+ hp KA's on Ka-t.org but you can also just say it depends on how much money you have to build your motor with.

[Chezedik]

WORD!

*tear*.....so proud...so proud...glad you didnt cheap out. amen to what you've said

[artemoushue]

It seems to be missing alot. Maybe thats why its cheap.

[Chezedik]

And the turbo is likely bunk, but even if it is a functional turbo, it is far from high performance. The turbo will not support higher boost levels due to mechanical limitations (cheap wheels, etc.), spool will suffer, and there are no maps. It will be hard to tune for and harder to get working with half a kit. You can save a lot of money and get the good stuff if you just build your own kit.

[xero1]

where can i get a (95 240) turbo manifold that will bolt up to a t28 s15 tubo?

[Chezedik]

SSAC on ebay or you can go with JGS tools. I would go ebay, it is a lot less expensive. Also a T2x flange is all the same unless it is DSM.

[xero1]

what the max rwhp out of stock clutch?
