My Turbo Project

[Rogue]

in case you wanted to see the damage. i have the list of prices of everything i bought. ouch.

Well I look at it this way: It's cheaper than a new car, and it'll be fun to see how much difference the turbo makes. On Kevin's MP3 at even 4.126884(lol) psi, the turbo made a huge difference over n/a.

And that total number is....

According to the spreadsheet that he just said to check if you want to see the total damage:
$6,754.20

but that includes clutch, flywheel, LSD, EMS, gauges, SBC, thermal spacers, single runner intake manifold. If i just did straight turbo stuff it would have been cheaper, but I wanted to make sure I did everything right the first time, and not have to fix things later on.

heh.. I got the last pieces to his turbo kit last night...
so I'll be boosting 4.126884psi.. as soon as I get a new clutch.

Believe me you will love it, I would crank the boost a little though. I ran 9-10 psi on my msp. Some believe that may be pushing the limits of the stock fs-de rods, though.

I'll be happy at 5-6psi... or until I become a boost addict

[Prodigy]

NUDE parts

 

[Rogue]

hahaha

i got the oil pan put on

 

[Rogue]

Defi gauges came in. Man, they look good. The LSD comes in tomorrow. Hopefully I can get the flywheel, clutch, and LSD installed and broken in before the next autocross.

 

[Prodigy]

Let me know how that goes Luke..
I should be getting/installing my spec stage-III this weekend.


lightweight flywheel and lsd will happen next summer for me.

 

[Rogue]

you need a turbo timer?

 

[Prodigy]

Yep, but I'm in debt for the new clutch... so I'll be waiting the old fashion way for the engine/turbo to cool down. I'm definitely interested in getting yours but I won't have cash for it for awhile.
Next will be spark plugs, fuel pump, bung weld, turbo install party.

 

[Rogue]

looks like my LSD, clutch, and flywheel will be going in this weekend. I have a stack of parts just sitting in the dining room area. I also sent out my gauge bezel to get a gauge hole put in on the right side for the wide band.

Other parts I've picked up: dual gauge pod for the radio din, Apex radiator shroud, 440cc WRX injectors, DG CF engine cover, MSMiata steering wheel, Mazdaspeed oil catch can (Ebay), MSP radiator/AC condensor
