Depends what parts you are getting.

Manifold $1400

Turbo $1900

Wastegate $600

Dump $500

Lines, fittings and gaskets $400

Intake $200

Tune $800

Labour $1000

Id say thats about right.

i recently paid:

  • Gt3582R with v band housing from sonic performance for $1350
  • Precision 48mm waste gate from the realstreetperformance in the USA for $350
  • Kinugawa braided lines from ebay, good quality (had them pressure tested to 300psi and no leaks) $70
  • gaskets were only $50 in total for manifold gaskets and oil drain gasket & t3 turbo gasket,
  • $1100 for custom turbo manifold made from 3mm stainless steam pipe,
  • $400 for dump and wastegate pipe to cat
  • $100 for intake and hot side cooler pipe.

Fudge you guys buy some expensive gates.. i got 2 for 500 bucks (Tial 38mm with all the springs)

I got my Borg warner s300sx 83/75 for $950 plus delivery from the states, but pretty sure GCG sells them (its not an EFR shitbox one before anyone jumps in)

Exhaust can get pricy depending on how big/type of metal/ and if u need a high flow cat, also need to plumb in the gate..

I did all my lines and fitting myself for my single conversion on my 26 and it wasnt 400 bucks, wasnt even 300 and thats with enough braided line and fittings to plumb in twin gates.. got my stuff from Pirtek

Just take the time to do as much as you can and save your self a couple of grand... all that stuff u wanna do is easy bar making a new dump

i got a twin scroll manifold that was from full race which was pretty pricy but the six boost ones are pretty cheap..

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.

      My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?

      What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
