How To Diy Turbo?
#10
ROFL!!
you guys are great!
So nobody buys a manifold from here and a dp from there and an IC elbow from store X.
If I don't buy an already turboed car then I want to put together a really good homebuild on my current car.
I already have MS ready for install.
Is Begi the current hot ticket?

help the guy out
buy whatever turbo you want, buy whatevery IC you want, buy whatever fuel management you want as in MS...now
go to store and buy welder, grinder, a bunch of pipes in various sizes of your chioce
now cut and weld until you have a manifod, DP, rest of the exhaust, IC piping.
when you are done here, install on car and then remove and fix whatever you fucked up so far....
once it all fits, you install remainder of needed stuff, like oil feed, drain, BOV, WG if external, and while attempting install fix everything else that you fucked up...
its a neverending process...for some people it just makes more sense to buy a kit...its cheaper too but shhhh. dont tell us
good luck, DIY'ing a turbo kit is not a walk in the park

"diy turbo kit" <--oxymoron
yeah, we buy **** from here and there and store x. but there's tons of heres and tons of theres and a bunch of store x.
just pick the best performance or best value from each place that you like.
mix well.
bake at 1600F for 45 minutes.
it's really all about budget.
small budget: cheaptastic DIY
small-medium budget: basic kit/decent DIY
medium budget: standard kit
medium-large budget: kit with custom mods
large budget: super custom DIY how you like it.
you dont have a budget this big: call up a shop and say "I want 400 rwhp" and have them design it.

i should have put "time factors" in there. time available is inversely proportional to dollars.
now if you dont mind, i'm going to drive my super custom diy jobby home before the sun goes down (yay dst!)

Here's my original list:
I used a 9/16" drill bit to drill the pan. And a 3/8 NPT tap.
I used JB weld on the pan to oil return fitting.
I did NOT use sealant or teflon tape on oil lines anywhere.
Summit Racing:
2 @ 3/8 NPT to -10AN fittings
2 @ -10 AN hose fittings
3' -10 AN stainless steel line
JGS Tools:
1 48" GT oil feed line. Comes w/ t's and 1/8" BPT adapters, ect...
Also need a 90 degree for top of turbo, used a brakeline 'T' and just plugged the top.
Water lines:
5' of 5/16" ID Goodyear oil transmission hose to use for the water cooler lines.
2 @ 1/4 NPT to 5/16" hose barb fittings
1 @ 5/16" hose barb.
4 @ 5/16" hose clamps.
Used teflon tape on NPT fitting into turbo(water lines only)
Spliced onto thermostat housing, and just 'looped' the turbo into the circuit.
CircuitMethod.com:
HKS Manifold
Needed to add EGR fitting.
Drilled in the spot in the bottom of manifold that looks like a casting process plug about 1/2" around.
Used a 11/32" drill & a 1/8" NPT tap to make hole under/in the manifold.
Screwed in a 1/8 NPT adapter to 1/4" brake line.
took a 1/4" * 8" brakeline and bent into a U shape.
Sawed the OEM nipple (male)for the EGR fitting off flush with the OEM headers.
From the backside of the nipple drilled/bored it out to 11/32".
1/8 NPT Tap from the backside(tap only will go down about 1/2 way).
Screw in 90 degree 1/8 NPT(male) to 1/4" brake line fitting(female).
Reconnect modified nipple to OEM EGR compression fitting, tighten- make sure 90 is facing downward.
Now when the manifold is bolted on to the manifold the u shaped brakeline will connect the manifold and OEM EGR line.
Took less then 10 Minutes and about $5 in parts.
