so i've searched the forums and I still havent been able to answer my question. im looking for a cheap and reliable na-t setup let the debate begin. also its a 93 sc300 i have 3500 to spend after r154 swap. engine has 140XXX miles

 

Really?

I seriously recommend searching SF & CL once more.

 

cheap and reliable should not be in the same sentance when your talking about turbocharging your car...im just saying....cheap+reliable?? i mean if thats what you want im pretty sure your gonna end up on ebay buying a kit from there...definietly cheap idk about reliable.... if you want something reliable then its not gonna be cheap...jus sayin...

 

Cheap and reliable do not exist. PERIOD. lol

 

what if 10k is cheap for him? would that get your reliable? any who...

For 3.5k for a R154 swap and turbo kit is going to be hard. You might be able to piece something, but it's going to be hard to do. Mostly if you are paying for labor then the r154 might take up the 3.5k depending if you rebuild it and clutch you get.

 

check out clubna-t.com if you havent already.

 

TLDriver...what if 10k is cheap for him? would that get your reliable?

absolutely but if 10k is cheap for him then maybe he should upgrade his car.... if i had 10k to jsut throw at a motor and be like"ehhh it was cheap" i probably would not be driving a sc....

 

I think he meant 3.5k AFTER the R154, just based on how I read it...

For that price you could get a pretty decent used kit, or piece one together bit by bit.

 

agreed.. the xspower kit seemd good, and its not too expensive

 

3.5k will get a good kit... depending on power goals.

 

without a rebuild and ultimately a big expense, i think the cheapest way to boost would be a factory turbo setup. but that really isn't cheap either.

gotta pay to play.

 

3.5k AFTER r154 swap power goals are 320. well someone on every forum tells everyone the same thing cheap,fast,reliable. you can only pick two. i'm choosing cheap and reliable just to see what i can get and i've heard some nasty things from the xspower turbo kit turbos, and wastegates. and i'm doing the labor myself
