How Do I Install a Turbo in my SSS Engine?

[tursup]

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?

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:

Cool turbo "kit" bro:

 

 

 

How is this even legal??? ..... the Datsun 710 turbo kit comes with a T3/T4 turbo

 

 

And the "JDM START TWIN TURBO KIT COLORADO CHEROKEE WRANGLER 4X4".... comes with two T3/T4 turbos with the exact same compressor specs:

 

 

 

Here is the "FORD F-150 ALL YEAR T3/T4 TURBO/CHARGER TURBO KIT"

 

 

Really??? every year F-150 uses the same turbo as every year Z car,, and every year Datsun,,, and evey year Honda????

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:

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.

Can I ask how many you have installed?

 

the good Dr. is a Nissan master tech..... that enough street cred for you? :rolleyes:
