Well, I wasn't planning on turbo'in the tib, but after seeing the Evo 8 Manifold and Turbo thread I decided to go for it.

I'm a turbo n00b but a few of my friends have boosted cars and have been a really big help.

I'm shooting for low boost right now(7 psi), but I want to get low compression pistons and rods later and push more boost.

Here's the parts list---

> Oem 4G63 1G manifold --------------------------- $68.00
> Oem TD04 1G Turbo (used) ----------------------- $100.00
> Oem 1G O2 housing (ported and polished) ------- $20.00
> Ebay 1G J-Pipe ------------------------------------- $40.00
> Ebay FMIC kit w/ BOV ----------------------------- $180.00
> Ebay 12" Slim Fan ---------------------------------- $27.00

> Oem Mustang Green Top 440cc injectors (new) - $190.00
> Walbro 255lph fuel pump -------------------------- $85.00
> Ebay FPR -------------------------------------------- $33.00
> Ebay oil sandwich plate ---------------------------- $40.00
> Ebay oil feed & return lines w/ fittings ----------- $85.00

> Electronic oil pressure gauge --------------------- $60.00
> Oem SRT-4 boost gauge -------------------------- $Free
> AEM UEGO Wideband ------------------------------ $200.00
> SAFC-II (used) ------------------------------------- $190.00
> Triple gauge pillar ---------------------------------- $20.00

Grand Total -------------------------------------------$1338.00

I've had the SAFC sitting in my attic for awhile now so the total price seems cheaper in my head, lol.

O yes, and the pics...

The only things I'm waiting on are the injectors, J-Pipe, and oil return line.

I was thinking about chancing it and getting an Ebay downpipe but I decided to have one custom made at a local muffler shop for about $100.

I wanted to do this whole build for under a grand but that was probably wishful thinking.

But if nothing unexpected happens the total cost will be under $1,500 which I think is pretty good.

The only thing I'm really worried about is tuning. The plan right now is to add to much fuel using the 255 pump, FPR, and injectors, and then to trim the

excess away using the SAFC. I'm pretty confident this will work because I'll only be boosting 7 psi max.


I'm going to be removing the front bumper tomorrow to do the DIY bumper mod because I'm getting some body work done anyway (an old lady backed

into me while my car was parked). I'll test fit the intercooler piping while the bumper is off and take some pics. If I have enough time I'll use my dads drill

press to bore out/re-drill the manifold, then use a dremel to port match it to the head.


I'm kinda trying to get the kit on and street tuned by the 16th (when it goes to the body shop) so I don't have to wait another week or two. It's a tight

time frame but I really wanna get it boosted!!!

I'll post more updates tomorrow as soon as I can smile.gif

 

You will need to relocate the alt. ... the 1st and 2nd gen DSM manifold offset the turbo nearly on the alt.

So all the DSM stuff you have will not fit unless you relocate the alt. or do some major mods on those parts to make them fit.

Evo 6 and up Manifold put the turbo on the right side (where the transmission is) so it's why you should use those instead of the 1st and 2nd gen. DSM manifold.

It's not impossible though as some did it with the parts you have, so good luck! fing02.gif

 

^^ what he said.

you WILL have to make a diffuser/ downpipe in order to keep your alternator. its going to look somthing like an S. i have seen it many times before so its doable. good luck. fing02.gif

 

Sounds like your off to a good start. Only mis-step would be the AFC. You will not be able to get a good forced inducted tune with that thing. I'd recommend a SMT-6 or a AEM FIC. I happen to have a new SMT-6 sitting in my garage waiting for a buyer.. hint, hint.

 

Watch out for the ebay FPR and BOV to go bad. I had an ebay FPR and never put it on because it was just built like garbage. Just be careful and it might all be good. Good luck!

 

the BOV will probably work fine, the HKS style is pretty simple, and most likely wont fail, but the FPR, plan on it having issues eventually.


the manifold wont work well unless you relocate the alt since the flange is positioned towards the pass side of the car.

 

he can use the manifold. I have seen a GK 4cil with a HKS cast iron manifold with a t04 turbo. he just put the turbo with the dp on the side of the tranny and cut the lip of the turbo intake to make room for the alternator and ps pump.

 

ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww lol

id go with evo 6+ before i would ever do anything like that..

or just go with the treadstone setup like my kits have laugh.gif

not to mention, no filter on the turbo = very bad idea..


also, do i see like a 400$ MSD- DIS system, but a turbo/manifold setup like that.. sad.gif

also that manifolds turbo flange is closer to the center than the oem one he has. (from what i can tell anyway

 

LOL, yeah i would spend some $$$ and buy a better looking manifold.

 

^^Need's the alternator relocate kit or something else worked out,or the blades of that turbo may not last long.^^
