What is that other option hes selecting as payment?

>>17434493
A testicle?

>>17434493
i think its a kidney. Like he's going to sell a kidney to be able to afford the turbo. Unfunny maymay imo

>>17434478
>$1999
>to turbo a car

hah.

add $3k to that

if you buy a turbo kit, you're a retard. buy a tig welder and stainless steel tubing, this way you can learn something useful while turboing your car.

Stay away from buying brand new precision or garret turbos and try to find them used instead. Get a turbo rebuild kit and make an old one like new. However, if you like new things for the sake of being new, go ahead.

>>17434505
you can tarbo a car for like $3.50 and a smashed ham sandwich if you do everything yourself

>>17434505
>3k to turbo a car
Lol. Try 4999

>>17434532
$700 for a nitrous system and $5k for a complete engine rebuild after the first nitrous shot

>>17434508
>if you buy a turbo kit, you're a retard. buy a tig welder and stainless steel tubing, this way you can learn something useful while turboing your car.

While you're at it, pick up a desk fan and use that instead of buying a turbo. The vanes are perfectly fine to use.

>>17434566
>you still need 5k to build an engine to support turbo power
This is probably the most annoying part: you can't just slap a tarbo anywhere because it will blow up your engine

>>17434561
>implying that I implied that you should fab your own turbo

have fun with your silicone joiners and boost leaks

>>17434508
Yeah, everything is cheaper if you fabricate it and pull the complex bits from junkyard crap

However, tuned intakes are a thing.

>>17434593
most turbo setups use the factory intake manifold so it's not like you have to fab your own.

>>17434593
>>17434603


also, if you've read my original post, you would see that I said it's okay if you want brand new "complex bits". It is just not really worth the extra money imo

>>17434505
it costs that much if you're just upgrading the tarbo

>tfw too poor to live the Boost Life
It's probably for the best, I'm probably too dumb to wrench on something FI compared to NA engines

>>17434532
Nitrous is in no way comperable to a forced induction setup. Also, unless you're engine is some high strung tissue paper shit, it should handle a decent amount of boost before you need to touch the internals.

>>17434593
It really doesn't matter when you have a turbo.
I used to get all autistic about tuned intakes and exhausts flowing cylinder heads. That really is race car level of detail when you need an extra 4 or 5 % power to beat the competition. Thing is, the development costs of that last 4 or 5% is 10x the coat of the first 95%. So no one at diy level does it.
Leave that shit to the oems and big budget race teams.

>>17434508
Theres nothing wrong with buying a kit. Of course you can completely DIY a turbo setup and probably save some money, but not everyone has the time and skill to do that.

I think somewhere in between is a good compromise. Figuring out your engine management and shit on your own and getting a kit with a complete hotside setup, amd maybe all the plumbing would be a lot less headache.

>>17434701
But that's bad.
Any idiot can buy and install a kit, and plug and play ecus can be lethal to engines.

The problems start when people without the technical or engineering experience bolt on all these parts, then don't have a clue about basic engine operation and can not even begin to start tuning on their new ecu.

>>17434676
Not in any practical definition of the term. You can't run nitrous like you can run boost.

>>17434728
Well that's not the fault of the turbo kit. Regardless of if someone cobbles together their own setup or buys a kit, if they don't do their research first they're doing it wrong.

>>17434553
I don't like nitrous because it's temporary, but you know you can choose how much to inject right?

>>17434503
>not turbocharging your renal system

>>17434512
>4999 to turbo a car

You're fucking retarded if you can't fabricate your own turbocharger.

It's easy as fuck, first things first you need your own CNC machine

>>17434497

>>17434566
>>17434571
This is what I've been getting ready to do. .. just bought an NA8, now time to stockpile parts. Everything but turbo done by next spring hopefully, then add that

Where do you guys sit on the compression debate? Lower CR and higher boost or higher CR and lower boost?

>>17437117
Make sure you put the belt on well and the bearings aren't smooth so that it doesn't squeal, other than that have fun with your alternator! You'll see at least 2 volts of power increase!

>>17434508
Is welding like soldering but bigger scale and more precision with the seals? I'm real good at soldering and want to learn welding but dunno how/where to start and thought it took years to get right

>>17434993
>CNC machine
well look at this fancy faggot
i made my own with a dremel one weekend

>>17434641
>>17434663
Since apparently there are welders I'll ask here.

Would a cheap 120v stick welder be OK for doing exhaust work? My garage only has 1 120v outlet and the exhaust shops in town are all run by bumblefuck retards.

>lol u don't need no cadillac converter, boy. Just stick that o2 sensor in the frame somewhere

Then Cletus McSisterfucker wonders why his truck runs like shit.

>>17434911
>8999
Ha try 16999

you can buy an ebay turbo kit for 800 dollars or even less on certain cars and be boosting.

ebay kits with light boost can last a long time. Even the 16g ebay housings are good enough to rebuild with if and when they do break.

>>17438105
Ha try $32999.23

>>17438178
more like 64,999.420

>>17438043
depends on the pipe

most of the time your low volt capacity translates into time you can weld, not how thick you can weld.

it'll weld, but only for about 5 minutes to 30 seconds on max settings.

>>17434508
Some one who hasn't done it right here.

there are many bolt on supercharger kits for most popular tuner cars, isn't it better than drilling your oilpan with a turbo?

Remove stock intake
Put supercharger on
Put new belt
Done

Depends on the car

I turboed my car for like $1,100
9 psi it went 13.3 @ 108 mph

>>17438225
If you think welding a bung to the oil pan is the hardest part you should just walk away now.

>>17437117
High cr low boost is just for fuel economy. 8.5:1, throw some rods on it and boost it to the moon.

>>17434566
>you will have to build the engine to handle turbo

Stop buying U.S. domestic trash engineered to just barely function naturally aspirated.

BMW m52b28 straight six can hold over 400+ horsepower on stock internals
M60b40 can hold over 600 hp on stock internals

both are NA motors from the factory

>How to blow up your motor the post

Even domestic econo boxes have turbos now. Everything is turbo.

idgi

>>17443226
ur dumb, his post is right.
turbo kits are weaksauce, just build it.

>>17443226
Reusing old turbos is pretty smart, just make sure you have the right turbo for your engine before you put on a monster and run 20lbs of boost and kill your miata

Learning to cut and weld and having the tools for it is also smart, it's a useful skill, but I'd try and salvage pipes from a turbo'd car of the same model instead of trying to bubba up some shit from home depot and acting surprised when it has a million boost leaks

>>17438247
bro on miatas it's not even that, you just drill and tap the threads by hand and a hose barb gets screwed in, Doesn't even need to be done particularly straight

>>17443604
No you autistic furfuck, you WILL blow the stock motor running any boost range that actually makes useful horsepower. Rebuild that shit with at least forged pistons to match with the crank and rods.
