How much are you looking to spend on a turbo?

[Perkul8r]

Ya know. I am not sure. I have been looking at turbos that range 300-600. I would like to keep it closer to the 300 if possible. But I know that limits what I can look at.

Really, I guess right now I am just looking for something to get the car running and driving. But I would hate to buy two turbos. One now, than one down the road.

And I have been trying to read up on turbos for the DSM's. But still trying to learn on that stuff.

I found a couple 16g's on tooners, and also a PTE GT3255bolt on turbo. But couldn't find much info on it.

Like I said there is a bunch of options out there. I am just unsure of what will fit my application.

Well..did a little work tonight seems as how I had some spare time. I finished cleaning the old gasket off the front case. Installed the BSE and reassembled the oil pump. I also installed the ARP main studs tonight that way I can take it back to the machine shop tomorrow. Hopefully they wont have it long. I guess I will find out what his work schedule is and go from there.

Good choice on getting it checked out after the main studs. Better safe than sorry.

Bolt on MHI turbos are going to be more in your price range. Could also look for a T28, which should be able to net you your 300hp through a FWD. However, I believe they are a little harder to find, compared to 16g's.

Well. Got a couple packages in the mail today. Got my DSM Link and my complete gasket set.

So tonight I socketed the ECU and installed the chip. And now I am just waiting on the motor again.

I have never spent so much for something so small. lol

Cant wait to start getting stuff back together.

[Perkul8r]

Well. Picked up my block from the machine shop today. He said he had to do very little to no work on it, but did run the hone through it lightly to make sure.

So when I got it back I started moving everything to my house. I was using my buddy's garage. But it gets to dang dusty to assemble my motor there. So i brought it home to my little work space lol.

Its a tiny closet in the bathroom. lol. But it works good. Clean, nobody messing with it. and its got its own door. lol.

All I did tonight was put the crank in. Got everything assembled and it looks good. Spins real nice.

Hopefully will get a ring compressor tomorrow and get the pistons installed.

Nice, good work. Gotta do what you gotta do sometimes.

[Perkul8r]

Well. Did some more work tonight. Got most of the short block assembled. Not gotta order head studs, timing belt kit, and water pump.

I also picked up a Greddy18G with the Mitsu housing on it. It was rebuilt so hopefully I wont have any issues with it.

looks good!

[Perkul8r]

Came home at lunch to some boxes sitting on the porch lol. Got my OFH, non cruise cable, engine bay wiring harness and injectors.

So I couldn't wait, I put on the OFH. Took like 2 min. lol. When I ordered it from JNZ I got it with new gasket and bolts, so it was easy.
