But just a quick question, how in the world is 4000 dollars not enough to run a turbo, you can run a turbo on a stock motor safely, you just can't boost in the teens, am I wrong??

Well, $4000 for the kit, fmic, and some little crap. You'll be stuck in the mid to high 13's running on 7psi.
People, just give up already! $ for $ NITROUS is THE Way to go. Notice the forum description.
Mmmmm....cheap HP!

When I priced a REAL Turbo setup, I hit $12k and still needed some more things.....I figure $15k to run some serious power.
This included the FULL/Necessary engine build, all turbo pieces(kits are for kids)fmic, fuel, igntion, computer...etc......!!!

exactly...not to mention that you would have no traction on the street

i had everything planned for a full turbo build..way too much $$$

Thats not true though....I'm sure the local cops wouldn't mind you rolling around town on some 28x10x15 Mickeys!

I am running Drag Radials on the street for my setup, I can't imagine trying to manage 400+hp.

ok let me rephrase that....I WOULDNT have no traction on the street

my motto:
"GO BIG OR GO HOME"
meaning i wanted at least 400whp ...hence the no traction

My thoughts exactly!....I was aiming for 20+psi!

T4 60-1....20psi would probally make 500whp

i was going to keep it at 15psi lol

how come everyone suggests the hondata over a vafc just for nitrous?

MugenPoweredLude · 02-10-2004, 09:07 PM

well if youre running just nitrous and a couple of bolt-ons get the VAFC
but i still suggest a Hondata....you have complete control over everything
