FTO TURBO: BOLT ON KIT
Atter a week of finalising, it's done.
The turbo will cost around 5k delivered to anywhere in Australia.
The turbo is a bolt on kit for 6a12 but has universal piping, so it should fit the fto.
Here it is;
it includes;
- Garrett T25 Turbo w/ Wastegate
- Cast Exhaust Manifold
- Chrome Heat Shield
- Downpipe w/ Gasket
- Map Unit (Black Box)
- 2 Injectors & Interface Block
- Injection Control Unit w/ Turbo Timer
- Blow Off Valve (BOV)
- High Flow Front-Mount Intercooler
- Polished Aluminum Intercooler Piping
- SS Braided lines for Water Cooling
- SS Braided lines for Oiling
- Return Hose and Fittings for Oil to Pan
- All Hoses & Clamps
- All Necessary Hardware & Fittings
- Generic Install Instructions
- Injector Control System Settings
It has a claim of 56% more power @6 psi (safe on mivecs)
Any queries and any interest?[/list]

Steve is right, that turbo kit is meant for the Galant (with the engine mounted on passenger side, not drive's side). so theoretically, no the plumbing wouldn't fit...
Other than the cost of the kit delivered to Oz, you also have to factor in the applicable import duties / customs / taxes which will easily add up to another $1.2K if not more...
If it's a T25 (not GT25) then it will be the same turbo as the S13/180SX which is relatively small and quite responsive but you won't get a world of difference in the top end. I'm about to fit a T28BB (from a JDM S15) which is only slightly bigger than the T25 so it will be interesting to see how it goes... (Bearing in mind, the motor is built with driveability in mind, not a top end monster)

That's my questions too.
We had a couple send back and forward. I showed him a pic of a fto's engine and that's why he has a universal kit aswell.
There is a another kit which is also available, which is cheaper due to not having a intercooler.
It doesnt have a comp, but a Emanage is more than capable of doing the job. They are just over a gran fitted and tested.
At rough estimates the other kit costs around $3500 (with no intercooler) with a universal kit.
There are also forged piston available in America very cheaply. You could send the whole package and sae a lot on the overall prices.
If anyone is Interested and wants more quries, just ask

i'm 99% certain that the kit you are talking about is the same as the one below which i posted about a week ago:

Chances are it's the same kit but self- branded by different suppliers...

great fantastic, good for them have you actually seen the dyno print??? RPW make a lot of claims but never back them up with proof.
newer more up to date computers can adjust boost based on temperature, and a million other things. the Microtechs can also handle MIVEC so you only need one computer.
with a Greddy you have to tune a turbo FOR THE HOTEST DAY, if you tune for the coldest day you'll blow the car up in the middle of summer....
if you simply want a basic piggyback to control boost and don't care about the settings then sure grab a greddy, however if you want a car that can perform at its peak no matter what the conditions by another piggyback.

i don't know why your laughing. You'd think that a magna doing 400 odd kW they'd actually put something on their website about it. All i could find was a 13.5second run that's probably only 150-170kW no where near 400kW +
anwyay this is pointless, go ahead and order the kit it'll probably cost you 5k to fit it by the time the manifolds are refabricated to suit the FTO. Use a cheap computer if its all you can afford however spending a little bit more will improve your driving experience.
but remember you were warned by several people here first.

umm, why are we comparing between a RACE engine and a street engine?? I'm sure some would agree that the eManage may be great for some applications, but like anything it also has its disadvantages...
However just so we can stick on topic I will give the guys (from US) a call sometime later tonight (from work ) and find out a bit more about the kit... Will keep you all updated so stay tuned!
