Will be getting a Turbo manifold and DP made from Andy Wagner

[bruce95fmla]

damn tahts a lot but I really dont have anything to compare it to so for all i know that oculd be cheap lol...

so if I want him to do a 1.5 manifold... what do I have to tell him?

uhhh, you want him to make a turbo manifold for him.. You also have to give him the specs of the turbo that you will be using.

edit: wait a minute, your complaining that that's alot .. Don't you get like 83 an hour for doing the web work.. You have got to be kidding me. You better stop giving that money to your girl and get that car on point.

[asylum24]

lol yes sir. but even with that money, 550 dollars is still alot. and I have to get it first. just cuz I do the work doesnt always mean that its ok'd by the client... which always sucks.

[bruce95fmla]

ohhh ok got ya...

[bruce95fmla]

here are some sites to check out...
These are most of the sites that have been of interest to me so far.

OK, good news....

The protege goes down to PA on April 5th to get the manifold and downpipe made for the turbo. I am using an external wastegate, so that will also be fabed and plumed back into the system (not venting to atmosphere).
I won't have it installed as I am going to do it myself and once the intercooler is in.. I will just have a pipe made to hold the bov, and one for the inlet and outlet of the turbo ... pics will be on my site once done.

Did you decide what turbo you want?

[95pro]

550 for the manifold and 170 to 220 for the downpipe.
I think I will try and get him to do the intercooler pipes for me also.
I got a fat tax return coming in the mail..
So once it gets here and I sell the vj20, I am ordering my GT28R. Then taking the car out to have everything made...
Bruce

he's getting the gt28r

bruce, what about the disco potatoe?

[charles]

he's getting the gt28r

Haha, dumb me Thanks.

[545HpGt]

i would go with a precision sc61. the turbo is capable of pushing 700whp. this will be the only turbo that is worth it.

[ne3ek]

what do you think about the manifold prices ? decent or what ?

[bruce95fmla]

550 is what the manifold is costing me ...

I am using an external wastegate so that will also be intergrated.

I am actually working closely with
www.mentaladdictionmotorsports.com with the turbo set up. I am ordering most of my parts from Beau , who is one of the greatest guys I have ever done business with..

the gt28R was actually right in my price range and still manages to keep me within my budget.

The disco potato --95pro-- is a great turbo also. 60trim and dual ball bearing. The only problem I had was it but me out of my budget by a hefty amount. I can still pull up to 300 hp out of the 28R with my set up (if I choose to) . But my real goal is 200 then 250. Also the R is a dual ball bearing also.

Once the car is running close to 200 hp, I can sit and concentrate on body work and so forth.

i would suggest going w/ a t3 bb turbo...t3/t4 is way to large for a protege..and it's spool will take longer! t3 should be good for over 350hp!

Good luck..

I am sure we will meet up for a race one of these days!

Chas
:p

[bruce95fmla]

ohh yes sir we will have to have some fun runs. I figure I will get the car back at mid april. Then I will have to install everything. Order the oil lines get the pipes and elbows. Still need the intercooler.. (that may take time) hopefully it can be done by may 29th or so.

[ne3ek]

why whats happening may 29th !? lollolololol.. I'm so amped bro! when it gets warm we def need to meet up. Good luck with this, I wanted to ask you, how much are you paying for the 28R snail ?

[SpoolinPro93]

i would go with a precision sc61. the turbo is capable of pushing 700whp. this will be the only turbo that is worth it.

Let me just take this opportunity to . Awesome numbers... you really showcase what the BP is capable of.
