boost gauge, intercooler piping, oil lines and fitings, bigger exhaust piping,

How many lbs do you plan on running. Might want to go bigger injectors and get some type of fuel management ex: s-afc.

When you order your turbo make sure you get stuff like the vband(which you will have to get welded on to your turbo, so theres more money) the gaskets etc. When i ordered mine i didnt know anything and all i got was a turbo. Always add atleast a hundred dollars for misc. stuff.

Help me make a custom turbo setup

Ok, tis the season to be jolly and to spend the money. I have about $3700 to work with and I would like to have a custom turbo kit for my KA. None of that pre-made crap(not really crap..but i'd rather customize her a little).

Here we go:
Car: 1998 Nissan 240sx
Mileage: 31,000

Goal for 1st stage: 230-250rwhp

I have a few things in mind but I would like a general consensus of what is good/bad and if anyone has made their own KAT kit post your suggestions.

Anything welcome.

Merry soon-to-be Christmas.

yep... I recognized you by your username/email jeje

by the way, did I make myself clear on the explanation? I sometimes talk too much and say too little, has something to do with my thinking spanish but writing in english sometimes.

the 1728 in the formula.

you guys building speaker boxes?

Stil Bil · Dec 16, 2002

i will start off...

search..haha j/k

really though, a custom setup is exactlu that, something you have looked around for and peiced together, so just go out and do that...

you will be happier than that..

go find an fmax kit layout and use everything they have listed in the kit and find the part needed but have it be the one you want..

use their kit as a guide..thats what i did and i cane out with a $1200 turbo kit...

nope... calculating motor flow to do some turbo diagrams in order to select a turbo

huguetpj · Dec 16, 2002

$1200 sounds about right for a custom turbo kit. I'm on the same path myself, so you might wanna take a look at my site to get you started.

Before going custom turbo get to know your engine and car and research as much as posible... that's the best advise I can give you.

huguetpj,

I put together a little spreadsheet using the formulas from your site. It makes plotting on a compressor map way faster so I dont have to re-enter all the info over and over

Now how the heck do I open a .wks file?

What software did u use?

huguetpj · Dec 17, 2002

I'm trying to open it using Excel and selecting "Works 2.0 files" but nope it says it has an incorrect format

huguetpj · Dec 17, 2002

finally i could open it

actually I had kinda the same thing when I did the table on my site... not as detailed... unfortuntely since I didn't have the compressor maps in a digital form (x,y points) I decided to do it by hand and draw the lines on the maps

but I'm gonna save this file for future reference

Thanks
