The Turbonetics turbo system is a complete bolt on system that will provide you with exceptional horse power gains. The turbo kit includes everything you need from fuel and ignition to piping and fittings and can typically be installed within 8 to 12 hours. Turbonetics turbo kit is a true OE bolt-on turbo system. It does not require any major modifications or hacking of the chassis and it retains all the original factory equipment.

All Turbonetics turbo kits feature NASA inspired ceramic ball bearings to ensure maximum durability and a super smooth operation. In addition, the turbo utilizes a single bearing structure to help dampen the critical frequencies that typically plague dual bearing designs. The results are 50 times more thrust capacity and 25% percent quicker spool-up over conventional bearings.

To stabilize boost pressure, a computer analyzed wastegate is included with Turbonetics turbo kit. These wastegates can comfortably handle 400+ horsepowers. They consist of a cast 304 stainless body, Nitronic 60 stainless steel one-piece valve, a rolling type diaphragm and polished aluminum billet cap. Its compact design allows it to fit into even the tightest spots without compromising any performance. In some cases it can outflow its competition by as much as 20%.

Likewise, to vent excess boost pressure a Raptor By-Pass/Blow-Off valve is included. They are fully polished and feature a 1.5” (38mm) valve, adjustable preload, sealed valve stem, 1.5” (38mm) discharge, O-Ring sealed valve seats, and a rolling diaphragm design.

The entire turbo system is cooled using a Spearco W.A.V.E. technology Air-to-Air intercooler system. The Wide Area Vane Effectiveness or W.A.V.E. technology provides the most efficient heat exchange possible by maximizing the surface area and utilizing a complex network of highly effective vanes. This revolutionary new Spearco intercooler decreases temperatures by as much as 30 degrees when compared to conventional tube n’ fit designs. In addition, Spearco’s patent pending manufacturing process allows these cores to withstand extreme pressures of over 200psi.

Connecting the Turbonetics turbo kit together is black chrome coated piping, high pressure silicone hoses and Heavy Duty T-Bolt Clamps. In addition, mandrel bent down-pipes, a high carbon cast steel exhaust manifold and an intake system complete with AF-1 air filters offer exceptional exhaust gas flow throughout the system. A fine tuned fuel and ignition management systems is combined and maintains a consistent air/fuel mixture under all operating conditions. All Turbonetics turbo kits come pre-programmed for each application and allow even the most inexperienced tuners to obtain amazing power gains.

- Patented Turbonetics Ceramic Ball Bearing Turbocharger (T3/T4 Hybrid or T04E)

Where in Oklahoma are you?

Well, you just posted a list of what comes with that kit - so that would be a good start.

Check www.clubna-t.com and also supraforums.com and I am sure you can find a lot of the stuff you are looking for.

Another vote to check out www.ClubNA-T.com

Theres a ton of info there...

Gunnar

I had well under $2000 in my initial turbo setup. I'd say probably under $1500 even, and I pieced it all together individually.

If you're going to spend $4500, don't waste it on a turbonetics kit. There are a TON out there better even in that price range or much less.

papodotcom

www.xs-power.com has turbo kits 1300$ and you can get ~400 rwhp. best bang for your buck.

i think their prices are better if you contact them through clubna-t.com

rebuild your motor first, your gonna blow it up if you just slap a kit on with that many miles

i put together a complete boostlogic stage 2.5 kit for 3,800 which included headgasket, arp head bolts , oil feed and drain ,aeromotive fuel pressure reg with fuel pressure guage ,mani,t67dbb turbo,aem wideband ,550 drop in in jectors basically everything needed the only extras was map ecu for fuel control and boost and egt guages

car makes just shy of 500 rwhp at about 19lbs


190k is kinda high for boosting , i too recc a eng rebuild like piston rings, freshen up the head and change all eng gaskets and seals front and rear and cam seals , valve cover gasket, the pressure boost creates within crankcase will explode leaks all over the place so do it right from the start and boost away

+1 for the cheapo turbo kit. It does look too good to be true at first, but seeing all the testimonials and tech support on club NA-T is really convincing.

Thats a lot of mileage on the SC, i would do a bit more maintenance i.e. compression test, check vacuum hoses, etc. just so you dont run into any problems down the line. Dont be afraid about blowing the engine though, there are plenty of members here with high mileage motors running solid HP numbers, but just make sure you properly prep the motor for many boosted miles up the road.

Gunnar

I ran 11 psi on a 67mm on my stock longblock with almost 230K miles. I'm freshening it up now (rings/bearings/etc.) but it's because I have some more stuff to go on it and I figure I may as well while the motor's out, not because it ate itself. The GE's are stout motors.

2j's are tough.. but still, if your gonna go through all that work, might as well get it all done at once rather than going back to rebuild it

Durrr

i just wish there were more 400 manifolds available

Yeah but you won't need to rebuild it. Gunnar is doing it as a matter of convenience. Also, even with high mileage, the motors can still handle plenty of power. They wont make quite as much due to piston-ring problems; but its not like its going to grenade or anything. DaveH did a 9 second run with a junkyard-stock 220k mile motor.
