I can get turbines pretty damn cheap, so I'll be able to swap them around for actual real life testing, not just a compressor map. So I'll be able to post what rpms they spool at and whether or not you'll be able to run high boost. I'd like to know what you guys consider high boost though. Most turbines that have no lag aren't going to like 25 psi. Your best bet if you want no lag is to get a more expensive ball bearing turbine.

I can't seem to make up my mind. I've gone through more ideas on whether to go S13, or S14. RB, CA, or KA engines.. I'm starting to think of just doing the KA24DET and WD's turbo kit sounds very appealing to me. Fortunetly his time frame, sounds about right as I've got school to worry about and such. Keep us posted man!:ylsuper

I bought my first project car, 95SE, and I picked up my compressor and new welder and all that stuff. I'm just waiting for my damn tools and equipment to get shipped from Japan. I just can't justify buying another 600 bucks worth of tools when I have them already. Not to mention everything from boost gauges to knock meters.

As soon as I get the first kit in work I'll be posting pics so everyone can keep up with my progress. Believe me, I'm more excited then you guys are. I'm not a big fan of driving around a slow car.

I believe the answers to all your questions are already posted in this thread. But I'll give a brief rundown, since I also hate reading through 3 pages.

When I do start the turbo kits, I will selling the same exact kits that I make for my own car. So it will deal with everything from Fuel to Ignition retard on boost. And yes it will have a FMIC. The kits will be made for all models to include the S13 with the KA24E. However, the first kits will be for the S14 since that is the car I own. The S13 kits are basically the same with minor piping changes. The only real big change will be for the KA24E manifold.

If you have any other question you can email me directly, [email protected]

Oh and one more thing, This is NOT my only bussiness, I'm only doing this as a side hobby, if I make a couple of bucks while I'm at it, thats always a good thing. But I'm not a major company like Greddy, so when you see my low prices, you'll understand I'm not out to gouge people and make money, I'm out to help everyone have a fast, safe and fun car. If your in the Tucson area or want to bring your car to my house, I'll help you with the install myself.

USAF Spec Ops Flying Crew Chief..., Which basically means I fly around on the helicopter and when she gets all shot up or just brakes somewhere, I get to fix it. Its a full time no BS job. So I use cars as a vent.

I just switched Turbo Dealers as of last week, my last supplier was giving me the run around pretty bad. I still haven't gotten my first order from them, nothing like having a few grand wrapped up in supplies that you don't actually have.

Each downpipe and intercooler piping will be different depending on turbo placement. So piping designed to fit my kit may not fit another's. If you have your own fuel system, I simply deduct the cost from the price of my kit.
