What else do I need?

[drifts14x]

Hey there, I found a list of parts from a fellow NICO member on the boards who wrote up a pretty complete list of parts for a $1000 turbo setup (the basis of which I'm following). I have made some notes on the list, but here it is...

200 @ the flywheel??Turbo Project:

Oil Path: Cost--------------------------------------------------------1/8" BSPT hex nipple: = $2.50Female T: 1/8" Brass BSPTxBSPT = $3.50 Brass Adapter: 1/8" Male BSPT to 1/8" Male NPT = $5.00 Coupling: 1/8" Female NPT to Female NPT = $2.00Braided Hose: 3/16" Hose ID, 1/8" male ends = $11.00Needle Valve Fem In/Out 1/8" Brass NPT x NPT = $10.00 90deg Male Elbow: 1/8" Alum NPT x NPT = $6.00 Adapter to turbo housing = $2Oil Drain hose: 3/4" = $5Oil Drain fitting: 3/4" ID Nipple = $2--------------------------------------------------------Total = $49

Exhaust Path: Cost--------------------------------------------------------Turbo manifold = $200 ($250 on eBay)Turbine machining = $0Turbine housing = $150 (T3 from Saab 9000 or Volvo 740/240)Turbine rebuild kit = $100 ($60 on eBay)Turbine to downpipe flange = $5Downpipe 90 deg 2.5" pipe bend = $10Downpipe welding = $50O2 bung = $10New O2 sensor = $30 (N/A)New O2 = $20EGR pipe = blocked Downpipe to cat flange = $10Heat wrap = $25 (Not Necessary)--------------------------------------------------------Total = $610

Intake Path: Cost--------------------------------------------------------Intake filter = $20 (Done)3" PVC MAF = $2 (N/A)3" flexi intake hose = $10 3" to 2.25" adapter = SiliconeTurbo Compressor = (from exhaust side)2" pipe from compressor to SMIC = $101g DSM side mount intercooler = $30 (or RX-7 Top-Mount, Saab, etc)2.5" pipe from SMIC to throttle body = $152" Nitrile Hose = $102.5" Nitrile Hose = $15Heat spray = $10--------------------------------------------------------Total = $122

Misc:--------------------------------------------------------370cc fuel injectors x 4 including s/h = $75 Autometer Boost Gauge = $30Autometer Fuel Gauge = $30Autometer A/F Meter = $50

Oil for swap: 8 quarts Valvoline durablend = $20JB Weld = $5--------------------------------------------------------Total = $215

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------GRAND TOTAL = $996

Now, Can anybody think of anything CRITICAL that I'll need, or things that I can drop. I am strongly considering a T3 for creating between 6-10 PSI. I appreciate the help.

200 at the crank….is nothing

You don’t need injectors nor an intercooler, you need to run 4-5psi, where your stock injectors and maf are going to do just fine. I would get a fuel pressure regulator and raise the pressure by about 10 psi, for that extra richness. or an FMU 4:1

Don’t need an AF meter, they're junk, it's light show nothing more, you can be running dead lean, and it can show your running big rich, your better off not knowing.

The list is alright but i bet you'll end up spending more on some of the parts so be prepared to fork it over and dont plan to stay in that budget.

I like this list, not missing anything that I see for 200rwhp. I might use this as a base for my project.

The stock fuel system should go up to 6psi

[Vkoslak]

Won't you need either a blow off valve or recirculating valve?

[StrangeLove]

not for such low boost, the CA didn't come with one stock, and it runs more boost. it wouldn't hurt to put one on

where did you find that turbine downpipe flange for $5?

[toki]

not only is it missing alot, prices are wrong. I love how the whole oiling system is $50. My return line and fittings alone cost $80. Admittedly, they are baller Earl's fittings with steal braided -12 line. But comeone. Plus all those little silicone hose reductors they dont even price go for like $40 a piece or something stupid. There is so much **** to nickle and dime you on any project, it's not even midly funny. Hose clamps? Doesn't seem like much until they're >$1 a piece and you need 16 of them, bolt? yeah, same deal. Whos going to be fabricating your intercooler piping? your downpipe? What about doing all the work to trim your bumper and/or the support? You have heavy tools a welder laying around?

A good friend of mine has a quote he goes by

"The Bitterness of Poor Quality Remains Long after the Sweetness of Low Price is Forgotten"

[WDRacing]

Use 2 inch piping and use radiator hose for connectors, use home depot fittings for all the oil needs accept the t-fitting for the oil sender.

all in all I could build a kit for like $1600 if I went ultra cheap and use alot of used goodies.

Actually, without an IC and using junkyard parts for everything, I could probably do one for under 1000. Most expensive thing would be the FMU and Mani.
