5,000$ turbo kit - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

i have 5k...how would you guys suggest i spend this to get a turbo that can put down 350 at the wheels.  Obviously be sure to include the actual turbo, wastegate, bov, injectors, i/c etc etc...   Im trying to make a custom turbo kit and am having trouble finding places to get the parts i need online or at shops around atlanta...any help or links would be great.

sorry...its late...i have more than 5 grand to spend...just would be nice to spend less than or equal to that...also..its a 1990 5spd. i was thinking a t4 or t60-1?  opinions?

no you won't be able to do that for 5000
350rwhp would require engine rebuild. That's about $2K if you do it yourself more like $3K if you ask someone to do it (may be a bit off). Otherwise, turbokits are about 4500-5000 or you can do what i'm doing and put one together for around 3K (mine will be around 4500, but that's cuz i'm planning some nice stuff, not base)
So expect around 6500-7500 to get 350 at the wheels.... probably would come out to more (all the misc stuff, like exhaust etc)
places you can get it:
www.nsport.com
www.f-max.com

Since you are from Atlanta i would check out Chris May's site for options.

im talking about making a custom kit...but if i have 5k shouldnt i just do the sr swap?  I dont want to have to worry about legality though...damn...im from lawrenceville by the way.  is the nsport kit good quality wise?  And can i also upgrade later on?  I can always up the boost after adding more fuel mods. right.  i think im gonna go with nsport.

Emmm it all depends. What car you got? How many miles?
If you have more than 80K get the sr
if you decide to go with ka-t, i've heard that most people with s13s (very few since most have srs in their cars) went with nsport while the s14 population preffers f-max.... it's up to you though. They both fit.

You don't need to build the engine for 350rwhp, Dennis from unStable-Hybrids has 347rwhp on his stock KA... BTW they're in atlanta, check their website and give them a call

www.unstable-hybrids.com

P.S. $5000 should be enough for that power range... put it this way, the f-max stage II kit can do that number easily and it costs around $4700. I would also consider picking up a KA24DE from an S14, can be found for less than a grand and handles a bit more boost, plus it would be newer anyway.
