tursup Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 those are generic/crap kits for any/every car Missing the point. Newbie asked where to start. The kit would give him a starting point. He could even buy a used turbo kit and toss the turbo. I've installed three different turbos on my MR2, two on my Supra, and a turbo kit on a 74 Datsun truck. Did them all to go faster. Can I ask how many you have installed? Quote Link to comment
nismo dr Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 if those are the kits your are buying, I can see why you needed to buy three for one car and two for the other :rofl: Quote Link to comment

How's the fourth turbo kit on the MR2 coming along????........... and how is a $499 intercooler and hose clamps a good start???? Quote Link to comment

tursup Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 if those are the kits your are buying, I can see why you needed to buy three for one car and two for the other :rofl: Actually I only installed a kit on a 74 620. It was from Crown Manuacturing in Newport Beach. That kit was good quality and before Ebay. I blew the motor up because I didn't know the relationship between boost and an open exhaust :) It was fun while it lasted. I have installed three different turbos on the MR2. I haven't found the right combination of flow characteristics for the 2.2 liter stroker motor. I had this in it for a while but pulled it because it didn't have enough bottom end torque: http://i1207.photobu...strokerdyno.jpg http://i1207.photobu...trokerbuild.jpg By-the-way, nice write-up about the restoration of your 521.

tursup Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 YES! where can i get one of those? i cant find anything on the web or at swap meets, anyone know where they sell them? Are you referring to the Crown Manufacturing tutbo kit? They don't make them anymore. My brother may still have the kit but I doubt the Rayjay turbo works. You would be better off replacing it with a decent brand T3/T4 ball-bearing turbo. I'll see if he still has it in the box. I gave him my truck with it on. Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 Can I ask how many you have installed? the good Dr. is a Nissan master tech..... that enough street cred for you? :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment
