Selling 1.6L intercooled Bell turbo kit for cheap -who's interested?
I am going to be getting ahold of an older-style Bell Engineering turbo kit that I probably won't be using on my car since I don't necessarily want to boost my car.
So... I'm trying to find out who would be interested in buying it.
It's for a 1.6, it has an Aerodyne turbo, intercooler + all IC piping, Bell FPR, exhaust manifold/downpipe, etc. The kit originally came with a MSD ignition retard device and also a fuel pump but those don't come with the kit - the kit retailed for $3,000
Everything works great - it runs VERY strong on the car it was on - the MSD and pump just aren't included b/c the owner wants to keep them for his new supercharger - the kit was not driven for long, maybe 20k miles - you would just need to buy a fuel pump and some sort of timing control... or just get the kit and buy an E-manage or another type of ECU control and not use the FPR at all. Should be a great deal for an intercooled BELL turbo kit.
It ran 8 psi and put out 178 whp on the owner's car. If you ran an E-manage or similar unit, you cold probably pull more out of it at that boost level too.
Probably would sell it for a little over $1,000-$1,200
Essentially the cost of a Greddy kit but far better design - the DP and manifold are excellent units, much better turbo, and its INTERCOOLED!
Let me know!

Don't have any pics yet since I haven't taken posession of it - I'll probably have it by Monday. Anybody who would be interested let me know. I'll sell it once I have it.

Same thing, from what I've read they are strong at the level of boost they were intended for 5-8psi. As soon as people started pushing the limits the turbos started failing.
Here's an interesting account of someones experience with that turbo:
