I deploy in 3 days to Afghanistan and I wanted to do a turbo swap and everyone kept saying different ways to go through with it so I went with one that I thought would work out for what I wanted. Here is the list so far:
Hahn stg V Turbocraft kit for SS/SC
NOS Intercooler Nitrious spraybar kit
Stainless Brake line/Brake pads
Slotted rotors
Vibrant Exhaust system
Driveshaft shop lvl 2 axles
Exedy stg 3 clutch
Motor mounts,lowering kit,odds and ends that I can do easily when I get back and not pay a shop to do.

With all the parts and installation done at National Speed the cost has come to $13,663. Now thats more money that I originally wanted to put into the build but the car is a 05 and needs alot of stuff replaced so I had no choice but to add in alittle extra stuff..Im just wanting some info on what else I would need and some helpfull tips all together. Please no bashing I only have 3 days left and im leaving the car in storage and midway through the deployment its being sent to shop so any helpfull info would be nice because im trying my best to do it right.

 

damn thats a lot of money. do some internals

 

Don't waste money on nitrous sprayer. There's better places to spend that money.

 

holy **** 13 grand!!!!!?!?!?!?! they better be the best builders and tuners in the world for that price!

 

Your getting raped!

Get the HAHN manifold
a 60-1 or GT3076 turbo and tubular manifold from Vulcan
Ebay an intercooler and piping

Getting all that for about 2500 or so

Get a custom downpipe bent up
Gauges: Wideband, boost, and EGT

**** for that much you could do a full motor build, internals, and head work... turbo parts, and what not.

But whatver you want to do man

 

click on the link in my sig, there one of the best shops on the east coast, They have a very good rep and they expect really good hp gains from the build and they have the car set to be finished within 5 days of the start of the project. About the spray kit its something I thought would try and be different..will it work? I hope but they were saying use meth but they said if I wanted to do the spray kit it would work as well. I would just sell the car and get a TC and just build up from there but I really love this car especially all the bad times ive went through with it and finally got it restored lol.

majority of it is labor and im getting it done while im gone so the car can be ready when I get back....Everything is brand new straight from hahn but if I could find a used kit then I could do that but im going to be without internet so I cant just go and buy it from CSS and get it sent to the shop lol

 

shoot idc who they are thats wayy too much money lol u can do a good build with way less money

 

National speed is a good shop... but there are better tuners in that area

 

Tuner wise, yes I agree which is why after NSI tunes it im going to test everything out and save more money for the engine build which will allow for a bigger turbo then I want 1badblueberry to tune it since hes the closest guy near me or I guess I could take a little trip to Area51.

 

1bad and Area are good friends I think. So I'm sure they could both work on it for you.

You would still be better off building a custom kit... what are they charging you 6000 in labor?

 

1800 in labor, the clutch is whats putting alot on that 13k lol

 

I think the hyper single would be plenty for your 400whp or so build. Considering what that HAHN kit on Hahns dyno made 440 and like 300tq... the hyper single is good for more torque than that.

It can be had for 1000 or so!

 

Well i hope you have his number because it appears he got banned this morning.

 

Dont worry I know him lol and hell be back in no time lol

 

Who got banned? blueberry or Area... or both? I'm lost here!

 

hey man thats so crazy u spending that much money on a turbo swap but hey man the smile on your face when u get back is worth more than money can buy you seem like good **** from the little bits ive talked to u i wish u all the luck and hope u return safely and u better take a trip up my way cuz i want a ride in that beast when ur back ........to ****** bad u couldnt atleast drive it once b4 u go

 

Blueberry got banned. Question on that btw. Is it permanent or temporary?

 

thanks and thats probably one of the reasons why I dont car as much for the price....yes its a kick in the nuts but the first time I see my car and hear it rev up and whine ill probably cry and nut myself at once....The cars finally fixed and ive been driving it for about a month now If I dont re-enlist then this is my 2nd and last tour as a Marine and ill have a new future to go through and ill be down to going up north on a trip. Kevin "Gestapo007" is going to be keeping,watching the car in storage while im gone untill its time to drop it off at NSI and he should be the 1st person to be able to drive it and I hope if everything goes as planned he should post a thread and introduce my car to CSS so I can view it as well from overseas.

 

sleeves?

 

Hey man, sorry I didn't get a hold of you when I was there last week. I had zero free time the whole friggin week. Longest week of my life out there. Good luck in Afghan though, keep safe.

 

np man and yea hopefully the winter keeps the IEDs away.

 

I did see your car in a gas station parking lot about midnight on the 24th. We were rolling by in our bus about to the gate.

 

ooohhh bp baby lol probably next to a Saleen and a black SRT-4, I actually think we made a comment on that bus lol what you think in person?? lol were the rims black then? cant remember.

 

Ya, the bus said VIP on the side. Ahahaha

I cant remember what you were next to, and pretty sure the wheels were not black.

 

ooh yeah lol I looked right at you then probably because I pointed and said look it says VIP LOL. should have called me and I woulda took off and did some pulls right next to ya lol

Kinda back on topic, The intercooler spray kit....I actually like it but is it able to do what I expect it to do or am I going to have to do something else like meth?
