Its for a "friend" right?

To the ****** (Bryce, not neogayness, although his orientation is up for debate as well) that posted before me...


I've ended up with enough parts that I just can't seem to sell, and a combination of good deals that mean I could do a $500 build.

Plus finals are about to be over...

Yes, it's for my gay friend that doesn't know how to tell his parents.

So, youre back....

Not necessarily...

I'm on thin ice, a tight budget, and need a few deals to line up.

We'll see though.

Why not DIY

I'm seriously considering it.


I've got about $200 to play with for a mani and turbo, but am really trying to not turn this into a project. I already have the car apart, so bolting things (cheap things) back in would be easy. I don't think I'd save much for the work involved, and am only shooting for about 225whp.

Do ettttttttttt.

Sidenote, I have re-fallen in love with my bike again and it would make me cry to see it go for $500. I think I'm just going to keep it.

Good deal...I absolutely love riding again, and I honestly think it's sparked up my enthusiasm for a turbo car again. when the build got frustrating I knew I had to let it go since I was no longer enjoying it.

Now I've taken care of some time and money issues, am enjoying garage time again, and would be up for a bolt on affair if it's cheap and quick.

Honestly by the time I buy a welder, order flanges/pipe, practice and do it I'm sure I'd be back into forbidden project territory.

What happened with the dp and mani you got from me?

Long gone, I really should stuck with my T25 upgrade plans.

Parted everything out, but somehow am left with and intercooler setup, T3 downpipe, two exhausts (may have one sold), and two sets of wheels/tires, as well as an aluminum racing radiator.

I found a recent deal on good injectors and wideband, and if I build my own MS and can find a cheap turbo/mani I'm in business.

EDIT: BTW, I really shouldn't be doing this, so if anyone wants to talk me out of it go ahead.

Nobody here is going to talk you out of it. :)

You're going to have to have a custom downpipe made for the tacotaco manifold. It will cost you thousands.

(I'm trying to help)

I have a T3 downpipe, and my exhaust is... let's say...flexible.

It's built for the taco taco manifold? I can build you something for 200 bucks if you want. Even less if you are lookin to go REALLY cheap.

Edit: I have a junky T3 in the garage I can use for mockup and everything. Simple top mount log?

You're talking just downpipe right?

No i'm talkin a manifold, you said you already have a downpipe.

That makes you awesome.

I can do a basic stainless schedule 10 log mani for 200 bucks and possibly cheaper if I can get weirtech to ship to falcon's house in canada and I go up to grab it :)

I've been wanting to try and mig stainless so this would be fun!

I'm flabbergasted, or something similar. Welcome back, as if you ever really left. I didn't think you could stay away.:)

*google image, not my work. just design suggestion*

That shit is HAWT!

Boost is addictive.

It's starting to look like I may not quite be able to swing a cheap DIY build, but I might as well look into it.

Payed for the bike, payed for wife's Rosetta stone, payed her back for daughter's kayak, covered airfare for our vacation, have a little left in PayPal. I should just put be smart and put it in the bank for next semester, but the memory of stock power haunts me.

MSii build is a little more than I was expecting, and it looks like no one has a cheap castaway mani laying around.

That was a google image. Let it be known that my manifolds are migged and do not look that pretty lol.

Ah ha. Fagette douchepickle fuckface.

Me or wanker?

It's looking like I can't pull this off with my budget, and I KNOW I shouldn't be messing around with it.

Hard to stay away though, need to step back from the boost hookah for a while.

I'll sell you my ebay t3 turbo for $120 shipped

I'll sell you mine for $100 and it's a t3/t4. I just acquired it in a package deal and it might need a http://sunnyskeptic.files.wordpress..../baby-seal.jpg.

Can that turbo easily do 25psi 530hp on B series swaps?

Maybe it's because I just woke up from a two hour nap on top of my books, but I don't get the baby seal thing.
EDIT:...nm, thought you were saying you needed a seal..."it" may need a seal.

In for cheap churbos though.

I doubt it'll handle 530hp but you can always prove me wrong

Sorry, that's the same line I see on all the eBay T3 ads.

I'm guessing it's and XSPower model, you got specs for it?

This is the one I got http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/89-99...Q5fAccessories

Gospeed what you need is a nice t2554 that I will have off my car hopefully in a few weeks.

Cool, how used?

Would have to build setup.

Think about the options makes my head hurt again.

I've had it for a year but it's only got ~2500 miles on it
