ok i found a turbo kit for my s2k and i would like to know if you guys think its worth the money. its a t3/t4 kit with all the shit needed other then the down pipe, injectors, fuel pump and fuel rail. now keep in mind its no 5k$ greddy kit or anything i just wanna get it for the time being and to give me a lil more hp.... nothing special. so give me ur opinions on the kit. heres a link http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/_Car-Truck-...%3A1|240%3A1318

 

I would stay away from those EBay turbo's. If you are on a budget, scour the boards/ebay for a decent t3/t4 turbo from garrett or turbonetics or other name brand. Get a rev hard turbo manifold, Tial 38mm wastegate etc. Piece together a kit yourself. Get what you want and get name brands. It may take time but it will be much better in the long run.

 

well rite now i got 1350$ to spend and id like to get a nice setup. which way do you think you would go

 

lol obx doesn't have a very good rep on this site and those pipe will likely not fit on our cars. Save up another 1500 and buy a used kit on here.

 

1350 is not nearly enough to have a turbo kit on a S2000. 1350 will only cover your tuning device (emanage ultimate/AEM FIC) and dyno time. Thats about it. Honestly you are looking at a minimum of 3500 for a good turbo kit with mostly used parts and a tune. New parts you are looking at somewhere around 4500 to 5000

 

with 1350 I would invest in an AEM standalone, preferably used, get a tune from a reputable tuner and start saving/piecing together a turbo kit for the future. That way you arent wasting money on NA parts and you get some more power, especially in the midrange.

 

yea good point thats what ill probley just do then. fuk it ill just save 5500 and get a new one cause i really dont like buying used parts. think about it if someone had the kit on their car then they probley dogged the shit outta it ya know cause we all know theres them stupid young punks that dont give a fuk and with my luck ill get a used one and as soon as i get it tuned and ready to go ill have to rebuild the damn thing lol. so ill just wait until then lol but thanks for the advice guys

 

That's the route I'm gonna take...

Firstly an intake and pipe
Then 4.57 gears
Then good ECU and tune...
Then uprated diff
Then supercharger kit.

I figure that's nearly 10 grands worth including labour (I'm no mechanic), so it won't all get done at once!

 

lol kit looks like garbage... bunch of low end ebay shit put together ....save your money and buy something used....


***you get what you pay for***

 

1350 is nowhere near what you need to get a turbo kit on and running. You are looking more towards 8000-10000 at a minimum if you buy new and have someone install it and tune it plus all of the extras you will need to have it run properly
