spare ecu FTW…thats what i plan on doing:whip:
yep. gonna just get a ecu from this 4 door automatic teg my friend has. and get it converted to 5speed.
why not just find a 5spd ecu…
well i figure i need my ecu chipped. might as well not matter if its manual or not. but i mean if it actually matters ill find a 5speed. i knoe a gu who is selling a virgin p28, for sale pretty cheap.
yea just get a factory manual ecu…
ok. it wont b too hard to find one. but I seen some Thunderbird turbo they are t3 what could I expect out of one of these.
I bought a srt4 intercooler before my friend took it out of his car, only 40$ but still…
After seeing the results of a stock car with just an intercooler upgrade, it was clear the srt4 intercooler was inferior. I didnt even want in after that and quickly sold it for like $80. check the srt4 forums if you really wanna know. not here…
there are awesome intercoolers you can get for $120 shipped. the choice is yours
well its cheap. good for some alright power and will do me right for a while. i mean im only gonna have about 230-250hp which is around close to stock on the srt4s so the flow capability is there and it fow for there 2.4l when i have a 1.8L soo, it should be fine for a while.
yea u should be good for a lil while w/ the srt intercooler, u can still get what u paid for it when u sell it or at least close
yea. and i could make a profit off of it. since i might be gettin it for free for puttin on his lowering springs.
sweet:up:
go for it man! :hi5:
yea. so i might take my chances using one of those XS Power chinese pos turbos. But, I heard they last and perform good when you use an oil restrictor. True? False?
Heres a turbo I found.

DO NOT BUY FROM SS-AUTOSHIT! XS Power, whatever, they are all the same. They have a horrid reputation for selling junk and have complete shit customer service. There are a dozen other companies that sell the exact same chinese knock off turbos for less money than they do and have a better reputation. I’ve heard good things about the 60-1, but that’s it.
You are playing the odds with the china turbo game (or any turbo for that matter). About half the china turbos will fail, be prepared. Consider a yunkyard pull, running the odds right there too. Unless you’re dropping the upwards of $500+ then just expect problems.
You really need to research this all out more
I actually just decided to find a T3 off a thubderbird or something and use a SSAC T3 manifold. Im not gonna tempt myself with one of their turbos. Altho I have a friend that has a 400+hp on pump gas prelude si with a h23/h22 hybrid motor. Soo, to an extent I trust a XS Power turbo cuhz he has had this set up for soo long and its doin him good.
your comparing the intercooler saying its for a 2.4, should be good for your 1.8…
you need some better logic…
come on…
ITS A NEON INTERCOOLER
NEON
and you trust a xs kit cuz your freind has a reliable one? well if you would have read almost everywhere on the internet, about HALF of those turbos are any good.
50/50 is a big change between big money and big labor…
old saabs and volvos have good turbos at the junkyard… at picknpull its 42$ and you can purchase a warranty, yes 40$ turbo with warranty. thats how I roll
there is a thread on here that this guy uses SSAC i believe. last time i chked(while ago) it was going good.
so i have mixed emotions myself about it. i know that the mani’s are known for needing to be rewelded, but after that they are good. im not going to knock trying it, ima just tell you to keep an eye out on their products, because like you i have seen a decent amount of pple run their turbo kits w/ decent results
also on the ‘neon intercooler’ comment its an intercooler, its not like dodge manufactured the intercooler, they had an outside source. so stick w/ the intercooler…especially since its for free
ull have to watch the manifold. my buddy has one and wastegate broke off had to reweld and had crack at flange for the head. it worked well for awhile but after heat and weight of turbo it finally gave. lol check out cc fab they have very quality products and decent price. ccfabonline.com i believe it the address
