So I'm about to get back stateside, Tucson AZ, where I'll begin working on the turbo kits. I have pretty much everything figured out. Looking at a base kit being 2700 or pretty damn close. This includes everything you need to run 10-12 lbs of boost.

I would like some suggestions for stg2 and stg3 options. What do you guys want? I'm here to give everybody what they want, its the only way I'll compete with Greddy and HKS.

The base kit comes with fuel/ignition takin care of. Its my secret for now...lol. The only thing I'm going to say is that all the stock pieces stay in place. No ecu change, maf change, injector change...etc. Just a plug and play kit. Like I said, what options do you guys want?Feel free to shoot me an email if you have any questions you want personally answered. [email protected]

What do we want? To see the thing, ama be pissed when I get my turbo kit on and yours comes out, hehe.

Honestly stage 2 I would personally want 300ish whp, and stage 3 350ish whp. I am assuming Stage 1 is like 250-270whp(dunno how you going to do that with ALL the stock pieces in place but.....*shrug*)

Well, I suppose I could just build kits for certain HP goals. That'll make it easier for me and you. As far as wanting to see the kit, Dude, no one wants it more then I do. I get to AZ on December 20th. I already have 3/4 of the parts sitting in my PO box waiting to be picked up. As soon as I get it on and tuned, I'll have pics and a dyno sheet to show the results. I should have a 1/4 mile time slip as well, since I'll be about 30 mins from the track.

jus wondering WD what i was thinking about was going turbo since i had a ride in one of my friends 240 with a sr motor in it and after that i was addicted to boost..lol..but anyway what i wanted to ask u.when i first got my car it had about roughly close to 122 K miles on it already and it was setup for N/A applications with the JWT chip and a mild p/p head from JG.if i get this turbo kit would i have to find a separate ecu?and also im not sure what comp ratio my pistons are but from what i read after a certain yr/month its supposed to have a comp ratio of 8.6:1?correct me if im wrong but i looked and my car was built after may of 89 if i remember.but anyway looks like your kit would do the trick for me since price range is within my budget.now i jus have to wait till i have a rebuild.i know that if i jus bolt this kit on id probably have to get a leak down and compression test also right?sorry this was really long but this was bugging me for a really long time..

well Im pretty sure I know what the kit is about, but even still if youre gonna ask "what do I want," I beleive I can answer by saying that you should bick me up some cheap JDM parts (like 180sx tails...) and bring em back for me! THEN we will talk turbos! hahaha ;)

will this stage 1 kit be tuned specifically for 10-12 psi? What if I don't want to run that high on a daily driver just because I'm paranoid about the engine blowing up. Would it be possible to just run 7-8 psi without changing much?

This is a bit far off but I would love to have a turbo that doesn't need oil from the engine so the kit would be TRUE bolt on. Or you could have a seperate oil system for the turbo..... But that just = more money.

It would also need some kind of oil pump, that turbo isn't going to pump it's own oil ;) It would also need a filter in the system, a sump to hold the oil...sounds like an engineering nightmare to me.

I would just like a car that would put down reasonable power from the beginning boost levels, and not cause alot of lag. Also, a turbo kit, that could work well with any kind of setup. Something good in the midrange for a street car, and top end for a 1/4 time. I guess that would have to be tuned with th turbine housings, and stage wheels, and also the comp wheel trim-most likley a 50 or 57.

Base kit needs to make 240 +/- WHP in my humble opinion...

Stage 2 would be in the 300~ish RWHP range

Stage 3 would be 350+ RWHP range

Ok, Let me see if I can asnwer all of the above in one post.

rob808, If your car block has never been touched and you have a KA24E, then yes you have the lower CR pistons. But if you have a JWT ECU tuned for NA applications, then the timing curve will be way to advanced for boost. However, you can probably send it back to JWT for a retune. Not sure how much that costs. If you install a stock ECU from another 240 you'll be able to run my kit.

Techno and Fiznat,Sorry to burst your bubbles...lol. I'm all about OEM, JDM stuff can EAD.

Shift,Your stock internals will have no problem holding 15 lbs of boost if your engine is in decent running order. The key is fuel, timing and eliminating and detonation. But if you don't want that much boost I can detune the kit for you.

Imissmyturbo,If your worried about drilling a hole in your oil pan, I wouldn't worry. I'm 99% sure I have a way around that with all my kits. SO It will be a true bolt on. Projex240,The bad thing about being a little guy in the bussiness is that I order my turbines through another company. But the good thing about that is I can simply tailor each kit to the customer. If you want no lag, then I get a different trim, if you can deal with a little lag and what more top end, same thing. The T3/T4 has so many trims, I can't really go wrong.

JPRempe, My base kit has to beat all the other kits by 30hp while being cheaper at the same time. The rest of the stg's are easy.

There is one downside to my Turbo Kit. Being a small bussiness and doing all the work myself lets me do alot of custom stuff while keeping the price down. But I order alot of my parts, so in the beggining, untill I can get orders in bulk. There will probably be a 3 week delay. Do to my parts being shipped to me. Once the parts get to me, it only takes a day maybe 1.5 days to finish the kit. Then ship it to you which will be another couple of days.

So untill I have some stock pile built up, you guys will have a small waiting period.

Ever heard of the phrase "Good things come to those who wait" ? I think that will apply very nicely here...

ok thanks WD for clarifying that with me.i doubt my block was touched at all,jus the head.when i got my car all that the person told me that i bought the car from was jus those mods that i told u about along with a clutchmasters clutch,headers(not sure what brand?),short shifter (not sure on that one also), and a jwt pop charger.i am planning on getting your kit tho in the future,jus wondering tho.would u b able to send each piece individually as the funds come in when im ready to order?looking to see what this car can really do,anyway keep up the good work:ylsuper

The absolutly coldest intake charge possible with the lowest exhaust manifold pressure possible, would make life grand. Thats what I would look for in a package.

250rwhp is LOTS of power and would be a great stage 1.

QUALITY turbos, quality BOV ( or customer choice eg the norms: HKS, apexi, greddy, blitz...just not anything PLASTIC), FMIC comparable to Nsports (personally, I would want a bit smaller, like 22x10x2.75), FULL 3" downpipe WITH flex section, some form of thermal coating avaible for applicable parts...thats all I can think of now.

As far as your fuel/timing management, I hope its not a FMU....wont it be slightly impossible to run 10psi on stock injectors with out one?

Also, in reference to your non-oil pan tapping method of oil return...does it have something to do with either a sandwitch adaptor and/or oil filter relocation? =)

Stage 1: 250rwhp is very reasonable 8-12psiStage2: 300-325rwhp is good. Floating around 1 bar.Stage3: Up to persons imagination and octane level =) This stage should be for HIGH boost, 20-30psi.

You could run 10 psi with a big extra injector...

Extra injectors are the bomb bro, been running some kind of additional injection for years now. So there's a hint on my fuel system. The BOV I use is just a Bosch type, but if you want a different one installed, I'll have a list of available options. The oil return uses a Rosan Fitting.

One question for me(for now)

the fuel management....not sure what your going to do with it but will we be able to add a SAFC-II to turn up your settings to compensate for more boost?
