so anyway..  i thought this would be an interesting topic to discuss..  if you were going to turbo your own car what parts would you use..?

i guess id start it off like this...

a nicely sized T4..  .63?..  maybe..  i can live with the lag..

im still trying to decide between the rev hard and fmax manifold..

550 injectors..

jwt ecu reprogram...

greddy type S blowoff..

and a decent sized greddy or spearco intercooler..  

so what would yall use in your ideal turbo set up?..

u want at least a 700 cubic inch intercooler...throw in a blitz wastegate....a turbo timer, oil cooler, and a tranny cooler

Here's my theoretical setup:

--T3/T4 turbo T31 std turbine .82 A/R 50 trim T04E compressor

--Revhard Manifold or Custom

--Tial Wastegate

--Blitz DD BOV

--Blitz turbo Timer

--Spearco Intercooler

--Turbo XS boost controller ($80!, I don't need a fancy one, well, maybein the future)

--300zx fuel injectors (370cc), MAF, and fuel pump

--JWT ECU

--Custom downpipe and I/C piping

This setup should cost less than $3000. I plan on getting the components one by one, so it doesn't seem to cost that much. This setup should be good for right under 300hp, hopefully.
