Well, I guess we know the turbo will last at least 8 seconds

LOL...now that would be an interesting "factory" tour...

That is exactly what I want to know. How long are they willing to wait, what type of abuse will be thrown at it for how long before they pass judgment.

Hahaha

Man that was too funny...true, but too funny. I'd like to see it do that and hold up fine after a whole season at the strip...

it's got to atleast survive a season of daily use and maybe some track time. in terms of power, atleast 280hp-300hp on pump @ around 16psi +/-.

Yes, it was a joke.

Adrians89MR2SC · 04-22-2008, 12:48 PM

well then here it goes ..

..

doctreetop · 04-23-2008, 04:26 PM

A 3 foot oil line? That shows how much went into that kit. LMFAO.

Good luck with your kit. I cant wait to see results!

Adrians89MR2SC · 04-23-2008, 04:28 PM

the only things needed to fit the kit to a mr2 are the following:

1) 18mm to 6an fitting
(kit includes fitting for the oil sensor hole, but i wanted to hook it up to the stock location)

2)6an to 4an fitting
(couldnt find a 18mm to 4an, 4an is the size of the oil line included in the kit)

3)90* intake elbow

4) two 3" connectors (rubber hose with two clamps)

all coming to a total of around $35 ..

so the grand total so far is $475 .. and im pretty sure i got everything to install the kit now (except for timing parts, but that has nothing to do with the ssac turbo kit)

dude, its a oil cooler and line .. see they thought of that before putting it in the kit ..

but seriously, the "turbo accessories" kit i got with the turbo kit is not made for any specific car .. its a universal kit with a ton of adapters, fitings, hoses, etc

another way to make the kit cheaper, since they dont have to spend money on making a "mr2 oil line" kit .. plus, its only a $25 part if you want a shorter one from summit

Adrians89MR2SC · 04-26-2008, 10:59 AM

ok, its been a few days .. but im almost ready to start putting the kit in later today or tommorow ..

had to put all new timing parts on, and fix the two metal lines going into the waterpump (they were leaking at the gasket / o ring)

almost done with those two things, and i got everything layed out for the turbo ready to go in ..

shimric · 04-26-2008, 11:01 AM

Hurry up.

Don't take a month to break it in like your buddy did.

hmong337 · 04-26-2008, 11:09 AM

anxious to hear about first impressions. hope everything works out okay.

1) I got high school / college / and work, so im tryin to get the kit on asap

2)I dont have to break my motor in, so once i get it bolted up ill be running 8 psi untill i get a boost controller ..

shimric · 04-26-2008, 12:25 PM

You can make a boost controller for like 8-10 bucks. BS

MBC FTW

Adrians89MR2SC · 04-26-2008, 01:26 PM

and i can buy one for 8-10 bucks on ebay ..

but i dont need one yet since i dont have a boost guage and fcd, so im gonna stick with 8psi for now

Adrians89MR2SC · 04-27-2008, 12:20 AM

im not going to turn it up to 20psi and see if i can blow the kit in the first 5 minutes ..

i drive 100 miles a day and need the car for college, so turning the kit into scrap metal is the last thing i want to do

so untill i got the money for a new motor and a name brand turbo kit dont plan on me testing the maximum capabilities of the kit untill then ..

unless anyone wants to give me a new motor and turbo, then we can run the $hit out of it untill it pops, but i doubt anyone is up for that

nodla · 04-27-2008, 06:35 AM

I apologize for thread jacking a little but if someone could explain this to me I would appreciate it.

(preface - I do not mean this as an attack on your set up)

The t3/t4 kit will increase power due to the increase in air volume when boosting. You said you are running stock ECU and fuel control and say that it will be O'kay to run stock or lower than stock boost because you are not exceeding the stock psi. Psi (pounds per square inch) != (not equal) volume. I am under the assumption that because the ECU will believe that you are still running the CT26 when the T3/T4 turbo is boosting it will be adding more air to the engine than is expected, despite being at the same Psi rating.

I am just worried about you leaning out and your engine going pop.

Adrians89MR2SC · 04-27-2008, 10:07 AM

nodla .. you hit the damn nail on the head ..

.......................

there are two reasons im not going to run more than 8 psi right away ..

1) i dont have a boost controller, or fcd .. and the wastegate comes with a 8 psi spring, but it wont be long untill i get them

2) as nodla said, the t3/t4 is a lot bigger than the stock ct26, therefore if i turn the turbo up too much im going to lean the crap out of the motor and pop it ..

so as soon as i get some more $$$ .. then ill get me on of those safc things, boost gauge, fcd, and boost controller ..get some dyno time and then get the fuel sorted out, and turn the psi up
