from what everyone is telling us on the forum we should avoid alpine super/turbochargers at all costs. i have tried to contact them many times with no response. has anyone even come in contact with them lately. also, what other kinds of mods should i be looking to do when i find the right kit? i know it would be in my best interest to get new pistons/rings, but what is the verdict on replacing con rods? is it necessary for the upgrade or not? since i have the motor apart i should do it right? im having a tough time finding a complete bolt on kit. i am pretty good with mechanical stuff and my dad is as well, but neither of us have any experience with turbo kits or installing them. i would much rather have a turbo than a supercharger. is there anywhere i can buy a book or something that covers boost pressure, boost settings and adjustmentsand other similar topics? also is there really gonna be a gain if i replace the cams with 1.8 ones or should i leave mine as they are? thanks in advance for any help or tips. the car is a 2001 elantra gls.
thanks

This is going to be your best bet clicky clicky here to find your information....and should of been your first stop btw.

thanks and welcome

 

Dont go with Alpine. Wait for the SR units to come out...

 

Which will include what item? and when's the release date? 2 weeks..hehe. j/k

 

two sorta seperate inquiries on this subject...

yam, is this kit brought in from somewhere else or is it a true 'SR' setup as in you guys sorced out the parts?

4doorGL sorry to ask, but any word on the import of the Ballastic?

This is the only kit I heard about. Is it similar yam?

 

SR is actually going to have several kits.

ALL of the kits are developed by SR!

No ETA on any of them that I know of. I would say 3 months at the earliest if everything goes perfect (which it never does), and November/December at the latest.

 

Hey Yam, is it anything like the Ballistic turbo kit?
