find a 88-89 323 gt-x or gt, they both have the 1.6 dohc turbo (b6t) in the nearest u-pull-it yard
I believe you will need one mount from it
it would be best if you used the trany from a dohc pro, escort gt, or any other car that came with the doch BPIf you don't like the way I drive, stay off the sidewalk

oh yeah so far for my turbo set-up I have: IHI RHB5 turbo (T-bird turbo w/ T3 flange), 1st gen DSM BOV, "25X8X3 Core size FMIC, Boost gauge,and a tubular Turbo Manifold (was made for a 2nd gen KIA BP, ports match up but bolt holes dont. Still contemplating on wether or not im gonna use it). Even if I dont use that manifold I am gonna try and make my own (even if it isn't the best or prettiest one made it is still more than nothing and will cost less than $30 for the materials.
SO far I have spent exactly $0 on my turbo project. Are you good at doing anything? Usually you can find people with stuff that will trade for some quality labor. I actuall had the IHI VJ-11 too but sold that because it had bad seals. I wish I kept it then I could have put the T-bird compressor on it.
All I am going to try and pay out of my pocket for is
Turbo Manifold (if I cant make one on my own)
IC pipes
EMS
I dont plan on running big boost yet until I can get everything done the "right" way. I'm gonna try and run 4-5 pounds and save up for the EMS, better manifold, BIGGER turbo, etc...Last edited by Tweeaks; 05-24-2004, 10:11 AM.

If you can find all that for under $1K then by all means do that instead, but it's very unlikely.-------------------------
