He you all need to make Van hook you up with a place to stay on base... He'll have to escort you every where you go and you'll have to put up with looking at his mug, but he can hook you up...

Yeah, but Ryan and Dave were so MONEY!...We had a blast in Rikkiville...You would've like it Chris!

fd3boost: if you go to japan and get a bunch of stuff cheapoer than here, that's one thing. i'm lost on all that air/army base hook up stuff. but, over here, while the comments above are good, you CAN do it cheap and set up a migration path from a basic setup to something more complex. example.



get a good small frame turbo of the rx6 or gt3540 or T04X type and manifold (~$2500). buy a good wastegate (~$450-500) then, upgrade your fuel pump to the best you can get (walbro, bosch, whatever @ ~$300). keep the stock pump, since it isn't worth anything used and run them in parallel. upgrade your secondaries by drilling (not recommended) or buying 1600's (~400). get the best rising rate fuel pressure regulator you can get ($300). i think you have a bigger IC and radiator already? (or, get them at ~$900 & ~$500). then, plug in a 4 wire o2 sensor (~$400-500) and hook up a wideband you borrow. using the rising rate fuel pressure regulator and relatively low boost, like 13-14 psi, you should be able to tune the air fuel ratio with the RRFPR adding fuel. it won't be as smooth as it would be with an aftermarket ems, but it will work fine. and, the cost will be very reasonable for the power you get, which should be in the 350-375 rwhp range. no bells and whistles, but efficient. -gordon

I bought EVERYTHING needed to go single turbo for less than $4000.00 I'm talking EMS, 850 X 2 Primary, 1600 X2 Secondary, steel braided lines/an fittings, FP, FMIC, Radiator, Full Exhaust, Fittings, Clutch, Tires, PPF, Ignition, Turbo, manifold, wastegate...literally EVERYTHING. That's why Dave is saying "hook me up!"

There is always one funny guy^^^



Yea the parts involed are minimal but the parts just cost so ******* much for what they are. I just need injectors/pump/regulator/manifold/watsegate/and turbo according to Gordo. I have the rest of the ****. I know I can get 340-350 rwhp out of the stock twins. Rikki ghas already done it. When my car goes back together I will have the same damn set up. Then it's just tunning.
