My 5k budget mid mount turbo build

COSMO · 07-23-2014, 11:42 AM

Curious on what fuel pump you went with and injectors? What is your goal on the stock block?

BBRSpeedWorks · 07-23-2014, 11:48 AM

340lph fuel pump 850cc injecors and stage one fuel return. i know i want atleast 500 but jon at z1 thinks i can get close to 600

First of all, thanks for your service.

Secondly. I really like one off builds like this. You will intimately know ALL the components of your turbo set up. I'm looking forward to the results. GL man.

Awesome. Nothing makes you more credible than building your own.

BBRSpeedWorks · 07-24-2014, 02:01 AM

i like doing things to my car so when it's all said and done i can say i built that..

kz34wa · 07-24-2014, 04:18 AM

Thank you for the list, really appreciated.

One quick question, on a scale of 1-10 (easy-hard) what would you rate it for building the kit yourself?

Any tips you can give for anyone that is interested in building their own turbo kit?

Cheers.

Plasmite · 07-24-2014, 09:28 AM

Subbed and repped. Look forward to seeing how things go! Keep the thread updated

Mr&Mrs · 07-24-2014, 10:09 AM

Looks good and props for going at it on your own. Hope your arm heals up ok and you have at least a decent recovery. In for finished results.
