240? you can easily push 350rwhp on stock internals without harming anything. get a turbo from a cummins turbo diesel. you can buy a kit from ebay for $900 n then it comes with almost every thing u need. that will cut the cost in half.

interested in a skyline dual bb turbo?

Do you accept nigerian M/Os?

Not with a "budget" tune you wont.

240whp is definetly doable, and on a budget, I'd suggest starting with a 524td manifold with a decent turbo. Injectors are a must. If you'd like to put something together, give me a call at the office and we'll talk. 786-264-1684. I'm here from 1-7pm est.

Thanks,

Hell, get a Ebay turbo manifold for the m20, 250$ stainless steel, t3 flange, just weld a brace onto it. My setup at the moment is
Ebay m20 stainless manifold
Perkins .48ar t3
Volvo front mount ic
Greddy E-Manage Piggy back fuel controller

Then misc odds and ends. Got it all done for under $1000 and should put down some good numbers.

He wants a reliable car, which is why I would steer away from that internally wastegated with chinese weld 304SS manifold.

He also needs injectors, an FPR, and many other "odds and ends" that add up FAST in order to make it reliable. Reliable doesnt mean it's running fine.... reliable also means longevity.

Go on e30 tech. There is a ton of info there about turbo setups.

[*R*]

i think you or someone should try supercharging the m20

I've been enjoing all of this new members posts, you guys should see some of them.

I've got a good friend with a miata that uses a e-bay kit, and the turbo is a piece of crap, but the charge pipes and IC are decent, they get the job done and hold up to track and drifting duties.
