A freshly completed turbo job by a friend of mine here in Ottawa.

I'm trying to get details... I'll post them as I get them.

hahahah grasshopper my ass! hahaha

anyways, what manifold? custom?
and what $$$?

you read my turbo thread. the only thing stopping me from doing it is
FINAL exam preparation
and
MONEY.

Ok, what I know so far:
He's running 5psi of boost, and plans on moving up to 8psi by summer.

If you look at the engine bay shot, it appears that he's got an external oil system for the turbo.

The manifold was indeed custom. If it's from where I think it's from, it's supposed to be top notch work, and for a pretty good price too.

I'll check up on that. OK?

hmmm..
maybe cuz he is using a small turbo on a almost stock engine only pusing 10 PSI BOOST?"??
don't be dumb and put a 2ftx1/5ft spearco when you are using a small turbo.
you actually HURT performance.

I'm curious as to how much it cost. I was seriously looking for a 4AF turbo kit as I thought it would be an easier fix than the GZE. With estimates from local turbo shops I estimated that the whole deal would cost somewhere in the vicinity of 7-8k CDN. My swap is turning out to cost about that. Props to him if he did it for way less!

4Aaron GE · 04-04-2002, 08:58 PM

Ok... He's running a turbo frm a 626... umm, does anybody know which turbo that is?

bondobondo · 04-04-2002, 11:03 PM

it is a 626 or mx 6 turbo?

i think it is an IHI RB25.

its good for 7 psi?
