I'm going turbo here. I need as much input from all the turbo swapped LSJ's out here. which kit and why not trying to spend 5 grand on the hahn kits

 

well its either hahn, ZZP or custom. lol those are your options

 

I was looking at the zzp kit its only 2 grand. but it dont have all the parts. anyone running the zzp kit?

 

it has the parts, just the essentials. it is a bolt on kit. no FMIC. it just goes from the turbo to your stock intake mani

 

$2000 and you do not get:

fmic
injectors/harness
tune

have to pay $100 extra for hard intake


just look for a used kit if you don't want to spend about $4000

 

its really not a bad price for what it is.

*
ZZP revised 316 stainless turbo manifold
*
Borg Warner turbo (your choice)
*
Turbo intake pipe with air filter
*
Turbo kit specific downpipe
*
complete Oil feed and Return lines
*
Charge pipes with all clamps and couplers
*
ZZP rotor ellimination plate
*
Cooler spark plugs

 

josh u no to much

 

is anyone rocking the zzp? so your saying the zzp hooks up to my lsj intake manifold with the turbo thing zzp makes?

 

no it uses a rotor elimination kit for your SC

 

The ZZP kit is by IMO the best option. For $2g's you get the bare essentials. Spend another say $1g TOPS for a different intake mani/fmic and a few pieces of piping and there ya have it.

 

you can go custom for around 2 grand if you dont mind a used manifold. just make sure the turbo is either new or freshly rebuilt. i just did mine i think i spent about 3 grand total including a clutch and lightweight flywheel

 

Yep that's what I was hinting at, that $2000 has alot of unlisted costs, my used kit was $2700 complete bolt on system

 

that $2000 will get you running. it includes the charge piping to hook up to your factory gutted blower. you can modify things later on

 

No injectors and no tune will keep it from running, also how hot do you think the iat2 will be with the stock cooler?

My point is not that it's overpriced, cause it's worth $3k for that + fmic system. The point was that no matter what it's gonna cost alot more than the base price of the kit to set up properly

 

yeah i know it will cost more because i want to get the 1st suggestible upgraded turbo to hit least 400's. I wish i can find a used intake manifold or something

when you say that are you talking about the turbo aadapter plate they make?

 

no, your SC still stays on the car, just gutted with no rotors in there.

 

ohhhhh i get it. thats freaking weird. lol i think i wanna find a turbo intake manifold before i do that route

 

like i said. it'll get you started. you don't have to mess with the belts or charging system that way

 

i wanna see how hard this block off plate is to install. funny thing is that instead of running and intercooler I'll be running a heat exchanger.

 

this is all stuff you can change as you go along

 

yeah i mean right now i'd be running a heat exchanger to cool my system instead of a intercooler like normal turbo setups. i wanna see how these rotor block off plates are and how hard they are to install

 

Another possible option is to just buy a fmic and get 2 new charge pipes. Run it the way Paul did back in the day.

 

doesn't look like that system comes with a BOV setup either, so that's more work/parts you have to deal with
