Best place to buy turbo kits?
Hey guys just put a 13b RE in the 88 rex just wondering the best place to get a single turbo setup. Any links would be great thanks. Jeremy

you're probably going to have to piece something together, i dont recall seeing any bolt on kits for our cars.
|
rx7store.net has some.

Many of the forum vendors sell very highquality kits.

Where in Michigan are you located? I'm in the process of doing the same thing. I'd like to keep in touch to check your progress. I'm over by Grand Rapids.

also see the single turbo forum. Greddy still makes a kit with a TD06-20G . I pieced mine together. I used the HKS undivided cast manifold (not the fanciest, but reliable, and is proven to dyno at least 490rwhp), a garret T4 turbo, and then custom oil lines, modified corksport 3 inch downpipe, and a modified greddy front mount kit. I also have a custom intake and a standalone which allowed me to remove my airflow meter. |
turblown.net makes em... I've seen some nice kits come outta there for FCs and FDs

I going to use the rx7store.net FD GT40R kit for my 13b-re.

Kits are overrated.
Plus, they are not "complete". What I mean by "complete" is that you also need: * upgrade fuel pump * upgrade fuel injectors (Basically, you need to upgrade your entire fuel system depending on power levels.) * upgrade exhaust (but most people already have this) * upgrade clutch (you might already have this) * bigger radiator (not absolutely necessary, but highly recommended) * stand-alone EMS (although not always necessary, it's highly recommended) * FMIC? So, a "complete kit" ends up being more like $10,000? -Ted |
right on Bro
* stand-alone EMS (although not always necessary, it's highly recommended) |

Also will the fd fuel upgrade kit work with a 13b-re? |
i beleive the Walbro is a better pump. It's only $100

I don't know about on a 13B-RE, but I was NOT happy with my rx7store extreme fuel system kit. If I could go back and do it again, I would not have bought it. I bought it expecting it to have just about everything so I didn't have to go through the bullshit of hunting down fittings etc. but here were the problems:
1. No instructions. This is my biggest complaint. I emailed them and they told me it was pretty much self-explanatory. Well there were a few little things that were frustrating and not self-explanatory, such as: 2. The KG secondary rail did not fit. It needed spacers, which were not included. I ended up stacking washers. Because there was no instructions I wasn't sure if I was missing some part. 3. It was completely unclear how to run the line from the primary rail to the secondary rail. I thought maybe I was missing a fitting that would replace the barb on the primary rail, but in fact you are supposed to do a ghetto loop-de-loop to make it fit. I called them up and whoever I talked to seemed irritated that I was even calling asking about these two problems. He told me "uhh this kit is for professionals to install only," like I'm some kind of idiot. And yet I was told it was self-explanatory... |

It cannot keep up with your 550 / 1600 fuel injectors. BTW, how is the Microtech handling those fuel injectors? I've heard a lot of people complain that it can't. I want something that will spool fast and have good top end. The reality is that (fast) spool is a compromise with good top end. Try looking into a GT35R? It gives good spool due to the BB center, and coupled with a 1.06 A/R turbine, it makes for a solid top end. and maybe produce any where from 400-500 hp Is this possiable? BHP? If we're talking at the wheels, we run into two problems... One, you don't have enough fuel injector to support 500. Two, turbos that do produce an honest 500 at the wheels get really big - i.e. response goes down. Are we talking pump gas or race gas? 400 at the wheels is doable with pump gas. Also, your ACT clutch is iffy at 500 at the wheels. If you haven'tfigured it out yet, going over 400 gets to be very expensive... -Ted |

I can personally vouch for 1Revvin7(Turblown) Manifolds, elliot made me mine and it has performed flawless so far, it is a really nice piece, and he is very cool to deal with.
|
Ted what fuel pump would u suggest? As far as h/p i guess the higher the better but in reality i hope to get to 400 comfortably on pump gas. so u guys think that the gt35r is the best way to go? Thanks

I have a nice bolt-in custom turbo set-up for sale.
$2500 pm me and I'll get you some pics. Sorry for the thread Jack :) |
