Holy ****, this question is asked at least once a week. But instead of just telling everyone to search, I've got an auto responce for this every time it is asked

This is exactly what you need to build a cheap, reliable, fast 12aTurbo. It will end up having 200-300hp depeniding on how you build it and how it is tuned.

-TurboII Exhaust manifold - oval bolt holes, grind exhaust path 5mm inward on each side.
-TurboII Turbo
-TurboII Wastegate
-Nikki(stock) Carb w/mods done to handle boost
-Either a 12aT intake manifold or use an exaust manifold that places the turbo farther from the engine or else it won't fit.
-Turbo Hat for Carb
-GSL-SE Fuel pump
-Rising rate Fuel pressure regulator
-New fuel lines
-Drill hole/put in fitting in engine front cover for turbo oil return line
-T fitting where the oil pressure gauge gets it's reading from for turbo oil feed line
-Lock dizzy
-Downpipe for exhaust shop to connect the rest of the exhaust to

Ahh. those are not turbo kits.. those are just rebuilt engines at quite a high price I might add especially since they expect you to provide a core..

Robert at www.rotaryshack.com will hook ya up. He can modify your nikki if ya don't want to go Weber. This topic has been beat to a dark blue pulp.

Good luck
