turbo/manifold suggestions
I have an 87 T2. Im having Rotaryrevolution rebuild it but sold my turbo on ebay orignally intending to get a jspec complete turn key package with turbo. Well fortuantly for me(unfortuante for my pcoket book LOL) I get to upgrade the turbo. Im suppose to send the engine in long block form, so Im going to order the turbo and manifold now so i can bolt it on before i ship it(unless you guys think this isnt a good idea) Anyway. Anyone have a good upgrade suggestion that works good with stock everything for 600 bucks??? I need everything involved. All i have as of now is a short block. THANKS
have you done your research?
it isn't as simple as bolting on a turbo and going hard,
You will need at LEAST;
Bigger injectors,
Higher Flowing Fuel Pump,
A way to control the Larger injectors,
Time on a dyno with a Tuner to Tune the extra fuel.
A Open atmosphere Blow off Valve (you could retrofit your stock one but why?0
A custom Downpipe to meet up with your "new" turbo.
Now things that are recomended,
A full stand alone system,
An upgraded Clutch and Pressure plate,
a Good Front Mount intercooler and Piping,
As far as your "upgrade" you will have to buy an Blown stock turbo and send it to BNR for an upgrade (realistically any local turbo shop can do the upgrade for you). That is the only way you are going to have for 600 bux.
A full blown upgrade is going to be;
500-1200 Turbo
350-550 Turbomanifold
250-500 Wastegate
150-300 Oil/coolant supply/return lines for turbo.

Just something desent other then stock. I dont have my turbo anymore if you read the first post. Thats why i have to by one to ship with my motor BEFORE its rebuilt. I have to send my engine as a long block. So im in the process of piecing it back togetjer

High flow fuel pump,
larger secondary injectors,
and a way to control those injectors.
