Interest in Bolt on Turbo kit?

[Vivek]

How much power?

You about to be jealous that an m42 makes more power than your s52 ;)?

Dont be jealous, a m20 at the same psi will make more power :P

Power is in the 200whp range. Maybe a bit more....
Hoping to dyno my buddies e21 eventually so get some numbers. His car is damn quick...and still getting 28mpg on that last tank. A lot of cruising in there but some hard driving as well. I may have mentioned before but my buddy with the e21 also has an sti and says the turbo m42 feels similar to the sti. power to weight...

I do have at least one person that wants a kit so it looks like it will go into development. If more people get in at the same time I might be able to bring the price a bit lower.

I'm not sure how that has anything to do with this at all.

Bump any progress on this?

[downforce22]

why in the afm plumbed before the wastegate? Im sure you would have much more room if you had a smaller intake pipe and plumbed it right by the compressor with a heat shield around it.

The plan is for it to go into development around Christmas time...maybe a little before. Finishing up a LSx e12 swap right now.

Interested in a kit?

[jakeb]

I assume you mean why is it over on the intake side before the bov? no space in front of the compressor.

The wastegate is in the exhaust/turbine side not intake/compressor side

Im def interested, any more updates on actual price with shipping and a more accurate power gain?

[Leafy]

Interested for sure, keep up the good work

[jakeb]

Thanks guy, Price will be very close to $1700. If a few people commit to a kit at the same time I might be able to bring the price down a bit as I can buy in larger quantities.

We are going to do a bit more tuning on my buddies e21 tomorrow. This might be the last street tune and then we will find a dyno to spend a little time on.

[Chrisv006]

I would consider it....how complete of a kit are we talking?

[jakeb]

Everything....
turbo, manifold, downpipe, injectors, TUNE, BOV, IC piping, intercooler, couplers, clamps, etc etc

In the base price it will not come with any gauges...boost or wideband AFR. They will be an option tho.

[Chrisv006]

Definitely count me interested!

We did a little more tuning last night on my buddies e21 after he ported his wastegate and adjusted the preload of the wastegate. Now boost is almost instant...very very little lag.

He is running pretty worn Azenis but it will break traction if you floor it in 2nd gear. The power is VERY VERY smooth and VERY fun. We are going to get some performance data, 0-60, etc etc.

I am planning to build the kits around Christmas time or before. The more people that choose to get in during the first run the lower I can do the price.
