Got the base kit installed with upgraded hardware installed yesterday after work. Only took 3 hours!!!

Only bad thing is my timing is still set at 14 degrees! So no revving above 3.5k rpm right now :(

I am retarding my timing, installing ngk zfr7f-11 plugs gapped at .035, and a walbro 190lph HP today on my lunch break.

This car feels like it will be as fast or faster than a healthy SR powered 240

Just wanted to update my progress and say thanks again!

 

It's not a record, but still impressive.

listen for ping, you have no intercooler and advanced timing...

 

Coo brother. Took me all day my first time. Mostly cuz of rusty bolts on the exhaust but its all good. Get an i/c and turn up the boost!

 

Hmm, i hope mine goes that fast.

haha

 

mine took 2 hours.

Comparable to an sr20 powered 240 about even. A friend of mine has a stock sr in a 240 and its about a dead even race from 2nd gear.

 

damn, 2 hours to install a turbo kit? I mean, the greddy is a minimal kit, but still, pretty impressive

 

It's cause I helped

 

then come help me install mine, (even though I dont have one, doh!)

 

Hey whats up Sactown, im just a few miles south of you in Turlock. You might be the closest member to me.

 

congrats! 3 hours is pretty great

 

VRTSID- Whats that avatar? Looks pretty sweet!

 

Keep us updated!

You can always use that G-tech pro your mom bought you for Christmas, gosh darnit, sorry about that.

 

Thanks for all of the replies

I got the timing set to ~5-6 degrees static and installed the plugs, but I don't want to tighten my wastegate (to get rid of that annoying rattle ) untill I install my fuel pump

Kills already include several late model mustangs and camaros

Cool...maybe we can meet up sometime. I am going to meagasquirt my car, and if I wouldn't have bought the greddy I probably would have built a GT2554R based setup...so I would definately like to check out your car!

Thanks again guys... couldn't have done it without you

 

i believe in takin my time...and doin things right the first time...no need to rush

 

2 hours wasnt rushing 3 ppl with basic knowledge. All of whom knew what needed to get done=no rushing...

 

it took me about an hour 45 to get the kit installed.

so far I really like the kit, I'm runnin 8psi with the help of a MBC

 

B.S. Unless you had it on a lift, did nothing with the exhaust, and had 2 people helping you!

 

I'm pretty sure I could do a standard GReddy kit in under 2 hours, with air tools. We did one in two hours flat with 3 guys working on it in sections with hand tools.

 

Is it ok to just bolt the kit up with minimal to no tuning, and go beat on it?

 

pretty much...out of the box you'll be ok.
