370cc
s-afc
jwt chip
msd boost retard

 

Please, do inform us of the details of your "kit"

 

interesting thread....BTW msd boost retard doesn't work on DIS ignitions

 

This may be a really silly question. But exactly how do you make your own turbo kit yet have to ask us how to install it?

 

This is funny. You made your own kit and you don't know how to install it. I hear the dealership will give you a good deal on your turbo install!

I was thinking the Same thing!!!

 

All the pipes should be numbered so just line them up in the correct order. Really hope that helps.

 

How could you build a kit and not know how to put it together. You are not being serious right?

 

break out the duct tape

hahaha SLAP

 

what the hell?

 

Sorry to not inform you better.

i mostly build and tune turbo hondas, my friend has just got a 97 nissan maxima. he wanted to buy the kit but i told him that i can peices on out for him and tune it.

i got a the:
turbo w/ heat shield and accersories = ebay $250
tail wastegate = used $50
all flanges = have a plasma cutter , cut my own out
intercooler = $200
i can fabricate all the intercooler pipes and ypipe, full cat-back= free
z32 tt MAF= used $70
255 fuel pump = $80
Fuel regulator = $100
370cc /300zx injectors= used , sent to rc to get checked, $100
dsm blow off valve = Free
apexi S-AFC= used $100
JWT custom chip = $300/ just want the eprom changed to my specs
CC stage 2 clutch = shop discount $250
TOTAL: 1500

i have a shop and i also have a wideband to tune it first to 12:1 then take it to the dyno. ill have a boost controller to move from 4psi daily to 10psi on a stock motor.

i usally work more with hondas put have never worked with nissan turbo, i can see pic of the install ad know where it goes , but besides moving the battery to the back and the stock intake box, what els do i need to fabricate to fit the turbo in there. thanxs

 

sorry, i had to

 

Wow 1500 dollars. The JWT ecu is like 600 by itself.

Hook a brother up!

 

something just doesnt add up....

 

NEVERMIND ON THE BS FLAG...
I just realized you must have meant 1500 '3 dollar' bills....
...
yall

 

Im here just to get help on install tips , oK i don't reall care if you guys think my setup is BS, you don't know me.

I thought people here that actuall have installed their turbo kits could give me some tips!

the Jwt ecu i got used from a 96 maxima that has already been preped for 370cc and the z32 maf.

 

I didnt mean any offense, I am really sarcastic whenever I type anything. Anyways i have some slightly more detailed pics here, maybe they can be a start.

also, i think it has been discussed before, but unless that JWT ecu has been programmed for boost, I dont think you will get enough fuel out of it + Z32 injectors/maf. I could be mistaken tho.

I think this has been covered, and it should be easy to figure out mathematically based on current FMU users FP/boost settings on stock injectors compared to what you can flow at base fuel pressure with the Z32 injectors at 95% duty.

I can take the time to figure it out if you cant find it elsewhere.

Care, on sharing where you got all that stuff so cheap?

 

Wow dude....you could at least of said something like that. From what you typed, I was under the impression you just bought a all this stuff, but don't know what to do. Sorry if that statement I made before comes off offensive...but it was all meant in good fun of course. Just be a little clearer sometimes, because here....it's very easy to misunderstand someone.

its cool , i know how it is! yea i custom make kits for honda its much easier. this favor is for my friend. you can look around on ebay, honda tech , any car fourm they have a classified where they sell stuff. look around you can fine real cheap used parts.

 

WOW thanx so much that all i need! you are the man, know i know what to do thanxs so much.

i got to buffalo state, i live on lisbon ave, do u go to buffalo????

 

holy crap. I used to go to HC shows on lisbon all the time. I graduated from UB and am a mechanical engineer, but I will help you with the project if you want, Id like to! I am OK at welding. Where is your shop? I will help you if you let me use your dyno to tune my RB26dett.

EDIT: I live in hamburg, BTW

 

A quick look over your list and I didn't see what you had to install so much as needing to, well, you said it best:
"i can fabricate all the intercooler pipes and ypipe"

If you get so far as fabricating the feedpipe, then you're doing good and shouldn't need help "installing" a pipe you just created on the car.

check out my website for a examples & help.

 

PS: are you on UBRF.org???

 

I feel like I just watched a mini soap-opera or something.

 

what is your screen name AOL? im also in the mechanical engineering program. where do you work now as a mechanical engineer? My shop is in albany i just got to school in buffalo, might stay for part of the summer, also might bring my integra up. i can bring my wideband and we tune the can the A/F.

 

250 for turbo? 200 for intercooler?

and you think those parts will hold 9psi and put down good numbers? odd.

best of luck.

 

no offence but ive seen alot of used T3/T4's and T4's go for around 250 on ebay and i dont see why they wouldnt do 15psi more or less 9. ill have to see in the future when i buy one but im not worried because i know a honda guy at school who has an ebay t3 on his car and it works just fine

 

What does it matter what he payed for it. I know at least 20+ people that have used turbo and payed anywhere from $250-300 dollars for them. Just because it is not new does not mean that it does not work well.

 

i was just saying you never know what you are getting.. and not to make assumptions that things will work right.

why not just buy it new?

 

Not eveyone is a baller like you Jason.

 

riiiight..

and people wonder why things break a month down the road when they try and scrounge for used parts or cheap parts.. i just think when messing with something like this, you should spend the extra money.

 

Theres nothing wrong with buying used... Just do your research ahead of time, and know what you are agetting into. I bought my current S/C setup used... and im pretty sure it is FINE. no probs yet

 

www.homemadeturbo.com

yes, its very odd...

 

Jason I am just saying not everyone has 10+ k to dump into their car.

 

But more like $20k

 

it's also a vortech unit made for this car correct.. slightly different from a random turbo that could be used in some kit?

10k... 20k.. wish it was that much, but what does that matter at this point, even if i spent 1k, i would still have the mentallity of buying a quality part. i'm not trying to beat a dead horse here, you have a valid point.
