Nearly complete 1994 1.8L DIY turbo kit
Decided to prep the car for sale so the turbo has to go. This is a pretty much complete DIY kit minus a few fittings and hoses.
This was installed on my 1994 1.8L M-Edition with AC and PS. I ran it for for 6k miles. Never saw more than ~5.5 PSI. Most of these parts were purchased 2nd hand, everything still functions as intended.
List of whats included:
Turbo
GT2560 Ball Bearing OEM turbo. Very minor shaft play (no contact) with no oil. Practically no shaft play when pumped with oil. (google it)
2x coolant fitting
Both inlet and outlet compressor adapters
Drain fitting
Drain tube
SS oil inlet line
Proper oil pickup fitting that goes to the block
Exhaust Components
1.8 liter Begi cast manifold with EGR plug. Does not include EGR connection fitting.
NB 2 piece downpipe with flange cut off. Fits good with no hitting. You must figure out how to connect it to the rest of your system. I used exhaust clamps and about 1 foot of 2.5" pipe connected to the stock exhaust system. (not included)
Intercooler - Detailed info
18x12x3 CX racing intercooler
2.5" piping
Old school Greddy BOV. Retaped adjustment screw, looks ghetto, holds pressure like a champ.
Good T-bolt clamps
Tuning
MegaSquirt - Works perfectly
Unused EBC kit
AIT for MAF removal
Wiring harness
Greddy Electric Boost Gauge with all hardware
LC1 with DB(?) series gauge and wideband 02 sensor
A-pillar precut and preinstalled with both gauges.
5x RX7 460cc injectors #195500-2010. 4 of them were cleaned by injector rehab prior to install, came back in perfect spec.
Misc stuff
K&N crank case breather
5/8 tap for oil drain (no drill bit at this time, ill throw it in if i find it)
EGR block off bolt (expensive and hard to find SOB)
Very beat up turbo blanket
Beat up 3" foam intake
THINGS THAT NEED ATTENTION
When my friend removed the oil inlet fitting he some how managed to strip the fitting. After removing the turbo, i noticed a few threads on the turbo inlet were stripped as well. I do not have another proper fitting to see if it threads completely. If it works, thats great, if not, expect to either retap it or helicoil it.
As mentioned above, Exhaust is cut at the flange.
Coolant route will be up to the buy, the fittings for the turbo are included.
Ill assist the buyer with install questions but please do not expect me to hold your hand throughout the whole process.
PRICE - $1700 picked up, $1775 shipped.
Local pick up is available at zipcode 92129.
PLEASE DO NOT PM ME. EMAIL ONLY. ADDRESS IS MY MT.NET USERNAME AT GMAIL. ALSO INCLUDED IN PICTURES.
No calling "Dibs" If i decided to part it, i will create another thread.
