What do you think?

[turbotruck]

Well what do ya think? Its been dropped about 4 inches, those are 18s, i have a custom stereo that consist of no speaker bigger than a 6 1/2 and still hits a 138..... Oh and its turbocharged!!! But still a work in progress

[Onizuka]

hot damn thats awsome! Any plans on adding a intercooler?

[turbotruck]

yes lots of plans, just have to wait and see which ones i can do this year!!!! I want to build the bottom end, do a port and cam, stand alone and intercooler. one at a time though

[Onizuka]

Yeah man, I just love how clean your truck is. I have alot of respect for nissan hardbody modifiers.

[(jd)]

Clean ride, nice choice of wheels

turbotruck,what are your plans for the intercooler? how buig will fit? and where are you going to put it? i mean, it does matter where you put the darn thing right, or is it as long as you have air flow from the fans behind the radiator it will be fine?

this has been the only thing holding me back from doing a turbo in my '93

[turbotruck]

I am going to take the A/C off and put the intercooler up front

[rcodea]

about how much room in there as far as the size the intercooler can be?

Ryan

[turbotruck]

i dont know well see!

[downshift]

Nice truck....never been a fan till i seen yours. Good work.

[jetblacknismo]

is that a stock ka? how much does that turbo setup cost? what all did you have to do to get it to fit? any fuel delivery mods with it ?

[turbotruck]

I can make another kit, Price would be around $1850 shipped, There are no fuel system upgrades needed at 7 lbs, and it is a direct bolt on.

BONE STOCK KA

[jetblacknismo]

wow thats awesome! 1850 shipped! unreal. what kind of header do you need ? or does the kit come with that too? also , where can i get one?

[turbotruck]

it comes with everything ready to bolt on and go!! if you want one send me the money and i will send you the kit, ready to bolt on.... Will take a few hours to bolt all up

[jetblacknismo]

that sounds all well and good, but it might be a while before i can spend that much. right now im trying to do a head build up. so do you put this "kit" together, or do you just know where to get it?

[turbotruck]

yes i put this kit together, and let me know when you have CASH!!!

[jetblacknismo]

wouldnt that sound a little shady to you? "this guy on the internet wants me to just send him almost 2 grand, and he'll send me a turbo"do you own a business or what?im not trying to be a jackass but you cant blame me for being sceptical.

[jetblacknismo]

also, what kind of hp gains should i expect for 1850?

[turbotruck]

Double H/p gains at 7 lbs, if you prefer other payment we can work something out.

[turbotruck]

A friend of mine along with myself made this kit, And yes we both have business's, I own a paintless dent repair company. And the name of his business is FULL BOOGIE RACING!! If you ARE SERIOUS pm me and i will pm you my phone number..

[jetblacknismo]

double hp !!! your telling me 268hp on a stock bottom end!!what the...

[turbotruck]

Yes, thats what i'm telling you.. Stock to the wheels your truck will put down about 85-90, boosted it will put down 160 to 170 to the wheels.. So whats up you want a kit?

[dutman94hb]

Not to be an A-hole but man it really seems you are tryin to sell jetblack this kit .........Just Skeptical to many horror stories I guess. But a sweet deal none the less, I also would be interested in this setup if all is legit.

[s13sr20chris]

i am not trying to start anything. i think that truck ROCKS!

but...1 bar of pressure(~14.7psi) at 100% efficiency would double the hp at the flywheel. you wont see 100% efficiency with any turbo and air-to-air intercooler setup. to get 100% you would need one bad water-to-air and a fancy pants turbo. on the other side you are talking whp and drivetrain loss(by percentage) goes down as the power goes up. still all in all i think a non intercooled hardbody on 7psi should be in the 160whp range with a good efficient turbo(guess off the top of my head). this would be a nice improvement considering the stock output of like 130hp or so and the small investment.

[thenissan89]

Where did you get your turbo, what year is your truck?

[frontierman4wd]

How much boost, what kind of fuel/engine management changes did you have to make??I have a 98 frontier 4x4 with ka24de.... found lots of turbo kits for the altima's 240sx... nothing for the Frontier....

looks like I will have to modify a top mount t3-t4 xs power turbo kit I bought used (.42 and .50 AR)...but the down pipe looks like its going to require a lot of mod work.... seems to be the missing piece that different between the altima's etc and the trucks...Also, did I hear you were running 7psi boost??? thats about what I'm looking to do... hought I say a posting where it was believed tha t factory ECU can handle the change... sounds nice but I'm skeptical... I 've been looking at a greddy piggy back unit that can add =/- 20 percent fuel at 5 rpm points....I am looking primary for more torque (ok, hp too) from somewhere around 2500rpm to 4500 rpm.... I have usually shifted by 4,00 t0 4,500...hey, its a 4wd truck after all...

any idea/comments let me know.

Thanks, Bill
