turbo setup
 

i am purchasing a 14b turbo for my 97 GST, and i was wondering what else exactly i will need to purchase and where i could get them, i am kind of looking to get this setup for a bargain since i am a poor college kid with no job. Thanks a lot for the help!

Re: turbo setup
 

Oil lines, water lines, crush-washers, J-pipe, gaskets for everything, 4 new manifold/turbo bolts.

Re: turbo setup
 

where can i get them and the prices roughly? and i don't have access to get down in the cities unless i have no choice due to the fact i live in saint cloud, and i dont want to drive all that way if i can get something up here.

Call Brookdale Mitsu, they give a DSMStyle discount and ship stuff quickly and for a reasonable price. If you need me to, I can make a complete list of everything you'll need.

Re: turbo setup
 

yes please do! :D

Re: turbo setup
 

-turbo outlet/J-pipe gasket
-manifold to turbo gasket
-turbo to o2 housing gasket
-manifold/turbo bolts (4)
-crush-washers for water in/out lines
-crush-washers for oil feed (4)
-gaskets for oil drain (2)

Hopefully you can get the water/oil lines used with the turbo. You'll have to order the J-pipe from a shop or have one custom made.

Do they still give discounts over there?

Why not just get a T28

Re: turbo setup
 

Do you have hard pipes for your t25? If so chop it in the middle where it goes up and put a piece of stock IC piping between and that works istead of the aftermarket J Pipe. I can take a pic fo what mine looks like if you want.(its kinda ghetto but shit it was FREE and FAST)

Re: turbo setup
 

i only have a upper IC pipe w/ 1g bov, intake, and MBC running at 14psi on t25.. i am rewiring my fuel pump on friday though and picking up the turbo on sunday. i am getting a damn good deal on the 14b thats why i am getting that instead of a t28... so i will hopefully get the rest for a good deal.

Re: turbo setup
 

am i going to need to rewire my fuel pump w/ a 14b running at 15psi?... or would it be a good idea? because i have everything i need to do it. just nothing to tune it with yet.

Do yourself a favor and buy a new banjo bolt for the head too. Everytime I've taken one off it breaks when I put it back in (stupid 24" biceps!).

Re: turbo setup
 

Hey Noob hes got a 2G there isnt a banjo bolt on the head :p (JK). So he will have to get one anyways because the 2G oil line from the Oil filter housing doesnt fit on a 14B.

There is a chart there that tells you what you need and stuff as for fuel.

Re: turbo setup
 

Doh! Silly me with a 6-bolt in my 2g...forgetting these mundane details of the mythical creature: the STOCK dsm--never seen one!

Re: turbo setup
 

I hear ya man, I had to double think that. I forgot about the 7bolt a little. But you did remind me that I needed a new banjo bolt for there so you helped me out.

And just an FYI talonTSI, If you wanna pick up the banjo from mitsu they have to order them in.

Re: turbo setup
 

I have some 1g oil lines for much cheaper than the dealer if you aren't getting them with the turbo. I am pretty sure you could get by with using the stock turbo bolts also. I have done it before without an issue and I think thet are like $7 each if I can remember correectly. I have some used extras of those also.

Re: turbo setup
 

I have an extra "J" pipe with lower intercooler pipe for a 2G swap that I can sell you

Re: turbo setup
 

My honest opinion would be to go with the T-28 its a direct replacement to the T-25. you can get them pretty cheap. Prolly get it installed in about 3 hours if you have a coffee break for 15 minutes and smoke cigarettes every 30 minutes. LOL
The T28 pulled pretty good in my 99 GSX auto.

Re: turbo setup
 

He asked what you need to make it work. If he's getting the parts cheap - why not? Just make sure you have EVERYTHING before you start. Otherwise you could be waiting days to get it back up and running.

Re: turbo setup
 

Well assuming from the first post he hasnt ordered it yet. So to save him the headache i was suggesting a solution that would more suit his College situation.

Re: turbo setup
 

A 14b on a 2G a headache? Are you kidding me. Get the right parts and its cake.
