ZZP Turbo....Stage 2...2.2...

my stage 2 kit is installed with my custom fmic.......but then she went boom!

update:7/15/10 this has been a slow going process do to time and money. i posted teaser pics of the replacement engine. with my cousins advice abd professional help we are going to tear into this engine and choose were to go with the build from there. I'm heavily leaning toward darton sleeves and will assess were we are once she is on the table and pulled apart.

update: 5/19/10 car is down due to a catastrophic fuel pump failure. got a 56k motor and i'm dropping in 10:1cr forged pistons and forged rods and a set of zzp valve springs.
I'll also be moving on to set of 60's and e85.

















^^^these last items did not come with the kit. the first is my $20 homedepot catch can and the oil pan is from the LSJ.


^^^^first start so to speak.

I don't have it, but everything on their website pretty much says everything you need to know.. What are you asking specifically?

I don't know of anyone who has the turbo kit any level on a 2.2. Does the kit not come with instructions? I remember hte old garret kit did, I guess that is why this one is so inexpensive lol.

Meh I dont have any backpressure really. so i kinda see this as irrelevent sora speak to a point. But if it becomes a problem its not hard to change it at all.

I'm going to steal your Ion and pull off the kit...then I'm going to leave the car somewhere like all the Honda's...lol.

I take that back, I'm going to yank your engine because I can use the internals as well.

No running a air to air FMIC. 1bar isnt really low boost on this turbo compaired to others. should be anywhere from 300-350whp or so. nobody really knows yet so its a wild guess.
