Single turbo Build
 

I want to take my stock turbos out and go single. My FD is almost stock and Im having trouble finding all the right info I need to to the job right. Anyone have any directions they can point me to.Also how much something like at GT35r single turbo would run, and what I would need to install said turbo.Hope you'll can help.:icon_tup:

Go to Regan Rotary Racing .com it was super helpful for me when I went single.

There are several reputable vendors on here who offer "said" turbo kits. Give them a call and I'm sure they will sort you out. You'll just need to figure out you budget, goals, timeline etc. Good luck.

there is much more that you need to do a good job, other then just a turbo kit.
here's a quick list of things I remember, including some of the more obscure stuff.

Turbo
Manifold
Downpipe
Wastegate(s)
Oil feed hose / fittings.
Oil feed adapter fitting for engine block.
Turbo oil drain. Flange, hose, fittings, and a way to connect it back to the sump.
Block off un-used rear turbo oil return on engine. Make / buy plate?
Emissions block off plates
Intercooler / piping / clamps
Move your battery somewhere, somehow. Wire, electrical fittings, fuses etc
Fuel pump. Wiring, relay, fuses etc.
Fuel Rail
Fuel Hose / fittings to suit whatever rail etc you decide on
Fuel pressure regulator
Injectors
Blow-off valve
ECU
Vacuum hosing / clamps to suit wastegates, BOV
Vacuum caps in various sizes

So yea, there many things you will need. And many of the parts will require other small obscure parts to install / make them work. Im sure there's lots i have forgotten.

What are you power goals, and what is the car to be used for? Street, street/strip, full race etc?

Its a daily driver mostly stock I just want under 400 and I want to cool the engine a bit more.Can I run my stock ECU with the single?

you will need an aftermarket ecu.

you need everything that I listed...

He listed the bare minimum, too. Single turbo costs big bucks, but it's better for the car when tuned properly, as opposed to having a rat's nest of vac lines and a twin turbo system that generates tons of heat. You'll probably want a boost controller on top of all those things unless you want to run PSI off wastegate spring.

Other things to look at would be v-mount vs FMIC vs a bigger stock mounted intercooler, water injection options, and a larger full exhaust (3' is fine) in general. Even small single turbos are gonna be flowing a lot more exhaust than the stock setup/tune, especially with the emissions equipment removed.

Have you thought about which turbo you're going to go with?

Going single on a relatively stock car can easily a $6000-10,000 or more job for a professional shop to do by the time you add all the parts listed above and associated labor and tuning. Most people who think they can do it cheaper are either well mechanically inclined and able to do their own work, or end up with a very poorly sorted car that is a ticking time bomb. If you are interested I would be more than happy to go over everything with you.
