Top mount turbo kit

Category: Engine - Power Adders
Price: $1
Private or Vendor Listing: Private Listing
Part Fits (you may select multiples): Series I
Location (US State/Canada/Int): WV
Item Condition: Used

Wrecked car so selling as a complete kit. Comes with everything shown in pictures, plus un-married cobb, and uncapped yellow P2 injectors(not shown in photos) Literally every nut and bolt needed to install on the car. Setup has roughly 3000 miles on it. All parts in excellent condition aside from the sub frame that holds the intercooler. I can include it with the kit but it's been pretty bent up, but could potentially save someone a lot of time when making a new one. Have more pictures so just Pm me for details or questions.

Details:
-custom BNR turbo, t04b BB liquid cooled center section
-60mm, .70A/R compressor, t4 non divided, .68A/R 3'' v-band exducer
-Tial V44 wastegate
-304SS v-banded manifold/down pipe
-pro sport oil sandwich plate for oil feed
-braided -4 feed line/ -10 oil return
-Racing beat silicon rad hoses
-coolant lines to feed turbo(all clamps included)
-vac lines for bov and wastegate included
-coolant tank relocation bracket
-ebay catch can
-cobb AP(base map on computer for buyer)
-CX racing 25x16x3 intercooler
-P2 uncapped yellow injectors
-all silicon 5-ply couplers
-optional up pipe and wastegate dump for waking up the neighborhood

Am asking 3500 obo for everything listed. I've done setups for other people in the past as as most of you know, its next to impossible to find that many parts of that quality for that cheap. The only things needed to run this on another car are a fuel pump and possibly a blow off valve. I'm trying to dig up another blow off valve to go with the kit so don't quite count that out yet yet. (long story) Feel free to PM me with questions.

Even I feel offended that you low balled with 2300. Go find yourself a beat up Greddy kit.

Yeah no way. I've seen junk greddy kits go for 3500 on here. I feel like you won't find a better, more complete setup for that kind of money. I'm somewhat flexible but not 1200 dollars flexible..

I only got like $2,200 or so for my Greddy turbo kit w/ Cobb when I sold it. I started at $2,500 and had nothing but low-ballers. I think RX-8 guys are even bigger cheapskates than the RX-7 guys. :P

This guy's setup is WAY better quality than the tiny crap Greddy turbo, and he's including A LOT more parts too than just the essential bolt-on items.

I'd personally say $3,000 is a very fair and firm price for this setup.

If I were selling this kit, I wouldn't take any less than that.

The problem is that really most of these kits for sale are not worth much more because they need so much to work properly. Same was the case for my Greddy kit when I bought it. This blow thru setup is no exception. The waste gate position is not perfect either. It could be made to work decently but will need some fabrication and that costs money.

How do you figure? I took the better part of 6 months to design and build this setup, which I can say the entire time it was on the car I never had a single issue with it. Blow through maf worked perfect, so i'd like to say that i'm selling a quality turbo setup here that worked extremely well on the car for over two years. If you think this kit needs anything to improve on, please enlighten me.

A blow thru setup can work but it is far from ideal and a bitch to tune. Which is why all the off the shelf blow thru setups had some many problems and ended up only being successful after being switched to a standard MAF pre turbo setup. Not much more to it than that. Did you ever run the 1/4 mile with this setup?

It's not a bad setup but it will take some work to get it running well.

I will agree to an extent but I found that it largly depends on the bov location. I did an Esmeril kit for somone that was a bitch to tune until I moved the bov pre intercooler. However this setup I never had an issue with. Kane and I never really struggled too much with that aspect of the tune. I took the car to track once, base map, 5.5 psi (wg spring), safe rev limit at 6500, it went 14.7 @96mph. Couldnt launch it cause it would never hook, ultimatly it was a disaster but I had fun.

I know that my offer was low but it wasn't just to lowball.
that's just what my funds are and you never know unless you ask.
the kit looks great and if I had the money to offer more I would have

Assuming the turbo is not a tiny hair drier and the pipes aren't straws, the potential of any kit is more about how good the install , trouble shooting, and tuning goes .
A dyno sheet only indicates how well the previous owner handled those aspects and doesn't have much bearing on how well you will.

I've tuned 3 so far and they all worked out perfectly
