i know this belongs in the "go faster" thread...but what if
you can make this work....a fully custom turbo kit...i believe that with the knowledge known about boosting this car and boosting in general....would this not be achievable.??
...for those who want a just slightly quicker over all is300 ..and not a beast with 300whp ..i think this would be perfect
....actually think about this without passing judgement until you have fully thought it out...id dont believe the idea is to farfetched....please post thoughts and ideas...i know for the most part..the comments will be neg...but since im gonna most likely be the test dummy on my own project...as soon as i renew my warranty...just fill me in on what you would do instead??
-used toyomoto log mani. .................400$
-small turbo.. something like a garrett t3/t04e (found some for 600$)
-small FMIC....................................400$ or soo
-universal intake with filter-...............50$
-all intercooler piping custom - ............500$? or less
-custom 3'' inch exhaust - 300$ any muffler shop is capable
-all fittings,couplers, gaskers, bolts etc....200$
-any universal BOV(up to 8psi) .......200$
-safc- .......................................300$
-tuning and dyno.. .......................100$
** basically all the parts for under 3k..install not included***
at least piecing this kit together would be faster then others..cheaper alternatives.!!
with this setup...low boost is easily attainable...i think soemthing along the lines of 6psi woull be good...anything over that would be over done....since the kit would provide such low boost.. Inplace of any major EMS...i believe that an safc would be suffiecient...being that it controls air/fuel...and this low boost shouldnt call for anything more then a good a/f tune...maybe running a lil on the rich side for security would be safest...but since with all forced induction detonation is the enemy...with an safc i believe it would solve any complications.. this kit would be very upgradeable if desired...
basically you build your dream car...but instead of saving for a lifetime....you start off with boost...then slowly as you save up replace the parts that you want to ...or go with a heavy duty EMS to tune correctly and safely raise the boost level....
i know with all F/I you run the risk of components gone bad ...but i think this could and will work....
..mods move it if need be...but i think this is more aimed toward the N/A crowd thanks
thanks for taking the time to read this..sorry if it was a waste fo your time....i would just like this to spark a good discussion of cheaper alternatives (i know i said cheaper and i know "theres no cheap boosting the IS" belive me i know...ive been reading for ever")
maybe someone with a little more(alot more then me) knowledge could chime in and tell me exactly why this wouldnt work...thanks you all for your unbiased opinions....
