So i'm gonna try and turbo my 96 rs but i'm not sure what all i need. i can get the turbo's off of two volvos in my autoshop class and i'm pretty sure i'll have to have the piping custom made, what else do i need? forged pistons? injectors?

 

You will need:turbo or turbos, oil line for turbo(s), turbo manifolds and downpipe, intercooler, all the intake piping, wastegate, blow off valve, bigger injectors, bigger fuel pump, some body work to fit the intercooler, tuning, new plugs, forged rotating assembly, upgraded drivetrain (if you plan on putting tons of boost to it), adjustable fuel pressure regulator would be nice to have, and I'm sure I'm missing some stuff. To make the most of it, a cam, P&P heads, and upgraded valvetrain.

 

might as well pull the engine, rebuild, and then custom fab everything while putting it back in. lol good luck

 

Thanks Stang and those were my thoughts exactly camaro kid, the engine has 130k miles on it so i was thinking a rebuild might be required

and your going to need a **** load of money.....

 

yeah.. which is why this will probably never end up happeneing. i can dream though, can't i?

 

how much do you think you need? Im thinking no more than 5k?

 

FFF sold an entire custom kit for my car for 3k

 

If you wanna find one of those kits go to FTV6.com, they post pretty regularly over there, and Ive seen some of those kits used floatin around, still pricy though. I wanna say Tiago is one of the owners, but Im not sure, I know he is involved with the long tubes, but not sure about the turbo stuff.
