Default Re: Turbo kit proposal, help with your ideas please!

Well that makes three of us, We need more than 10 willing owners who can commit. I would like to get at least 15-20 people for a tuning shop to jump aboard.

If we can get CJspecial to do the Turbo manifold for $800 each, then I'm fairly positive Speed Inovations can do the tuning of the ECU. They mentioned in an email I sent a long time ago that it can be done for a custom set up. They will probably want at least $900 - $1,000 to write the software for each car.

I'm estimating the single turbo can be had for $800, for 6 Psi. While I'm not wild about using the stock intake manifold, I think it's the only way to keep cost down.

Misc. parts are going to add up quickly, like Blow off valve, and a piggyback ECU if necessary, larger injectors, new exhaust, plumbing oil and coolant lines. We will have to make some kind of oil return line into the oil filter cap, or machine a sandwich adapter, unless it's possible to drain back into the oil crank case.
This might add up to at least $2,500 - $3,000 in little parts.

Estimated total should be around $6,200 +/-$300.
