friend of mine is selling off his newly rebuilt 5m and im having a heck of a time selling off the turbo kit i put together for my old honda. so i ended up with a thought process that went along the lines of 2+3=5mgte.
I was wondering if i could put together an ok turbo system with these parts without having to put out much more? or would i have to re-buy most of it and it wouldn’t be worth while?
er... getting a head of my self here...
here are the turbo parts i currently have:
- .3 bar tail external waste gate
- manual boost controller
- HKS BOV
- garrett 38 trim t3 turbo (stock saab)
- garrett knock off 50 trim t3/t4
- glow shift wide band o2, boost, and oil pressure gauges
- perfect power smt6 piggy back tuner
- xenocron 255lph fuel pump
- large ebay FMIC
- ebay hose and coupler set
- all the oil feed lines and vacuum bits to make it work
im not looking to put up big numbers, i feel about 5psi ish would be plenty. I dont want to over power the stock w58
I know i would have to get an exhaust manifold, down pipe, injectors... but i was wondering if one of my turbos would be a good size *and what one*, if my piggy back would be enough *or will i have to go stand alone with a fancy ignition system*, would my fuel pump feed it alright, would i have to upgrade the ignition system other than spark plugs, do i need to do any thing internal to the engine, valve train ect...?
Basically im looking to set up a cheap and cheerful system with the parts i already have and i want to know if i can do that on a mild budget ($300-400 more invested) or would i end up wasting alot of money (over $600) that i could use to put towards my 1jz swap?
and before it gets tossed out there, did you guys go thu a re-shuffling at one point or another on this forum? I ran across a bunch of posts telling the OP to check the stickies and referencing peoples build threads that are no longer around?
