Well I am planning on boosting my svt swapped zx3. I thought I would share with you guys and ill provide prices on everything I have purchased so far. Obviously it will be ongoing as I am not done yet and still need a few things. I am trying to accomplish this as cheap as possible while still having a quality build.


The turbo:
A T3/T4 Garrett .57 trim compressor, .60 A/R, .63 hotside
-Made boost but smoked, needs seals $55 shipped to my door, rebuild is $85 with a 360 deg. thrust washer/bearing. $65 having it rebalanced, when all is said and done ill have ~$200 in the turbo.

Manifold:
A cheap home made job, a simple log made of 1.5" steel.
-Got it in a trade

Fuel Injectors
-Siemens Deka 60# with 4K mi. on them $75 shipped to my door

Diablosport Mafia
-Used for a month until the motor blew, $60 shipped to my door

Diablosport Predator
-Bought brand new online for $279 shipped.

Oil pressure gauge
-Autometer sport-comp digital. came from the trade with the mani and bov.

I believe thats all I have so far.

Things still needed:
BAP
J&S (most expensive)
Wideband
Wastegate
Intercooler
Piping
Down pipe and eventually 3" exhaust
Oil feed and drain lines.
Tuning
Let me know if I am forgetting anything.


Total so far is $641
I traded a NOS kit that I got for a ebay header and a home made o2 cheater and a stock dogbone mount with poly inserts for a honda turbo kit. I sold everything but the Manifold(for a zetec), the BOV, the oil pressure gauge and some oil lines and fittings.

I will update as more things are purchased and I get closer until it is finished.


Thanks for looking,
Brandon

nice man, I have a wastegate for sale if you need one... :)

Congrats on the build and good luck. I started mine a while back but because of fiances had to stop it and go another way. I hope your build all works out great. I'd highly recommend Tom for the tuning.

And I hate to be that guy...but I have a good number of the things you still need to buy for sale in my Turbo part out thread. You should take a look at it.

You have multiple fiances? Daaang, pimp!

Heh, I know you meant finances [:)]

I really am starting to hate to auto-correct feature of my spellchecker on Firefox. *facepalm*

thanks guys. One thing at a time. I forgot to add i already have a boost gauge as well that came in that trade i done

Depending on how much power you make you may not need the BAP.

i want at least 300 John, at least until i can afford to build the motor.

I'd stop around 250 if you dont have a Torson or Quaife.... but thats just me.

Also dont forget that at 250wtq the stock clutch tends to fry itself.

thats been gone long time ago. i have a CM stage 3 with their aluminum flywheel now. I figured whatever it makes on 15 psi is what i will be at. I dont want to go over that for fear of wasting a motor. Wasn't it you who ran 19 psi on a stock motor for 2 years and then turned it up before you blew it?

Yep that was me.

u didn't run 19 psi all the time did u? i thought you ran 12, then hit the boost controller to 19 on occaision.

well either way I plan on 15 psi, maybe 17 max. Im sure that will give me plenty of power.

pics of some things up now. will get pics of the injectors and the mafia soon

having injectors cleaned and flowed this week
