Help with taking off a turbo kit

[tuannn]

Not trying to be a pain here, but why go through the hastle if you haven't already bought it..? A lot of hard work, time and money go into building thiis sorta thing and the value invested will never be retrieved if you part it out

Yes I realised that. He said about 16k went into the build, Im not after retrieving the money back, its at a good price as is. Do you think its worth it ?

I dont see it costing much at all

Max. $500 or its something you could DIY

Looks like a nice setup so you can resell it for a decent chunk of change

How long till youre off your Ps? coz that thing would be a fcuking weapon.

If youve only got a few months, keep the turbo gear, and then bolt it back on when your get your fulls.

If youve still got 18 months, or dont care for turbo, then convert back and sell stuff. But itd be good to hold onto the turbo stuff coz its already got axles, diff, fuel pump, injectors and clutch etc to suit the power.

What youll need at minimum is;

-Exhaust manifold

thats it lol.

the pipe that runs from the cold side of the intercooler to the intake manifold, just bolt the pod filter up to that down behind the bar. Reroute the existing line from the catch can to the intake pipe behind the pod to the new intake pipe, you might need to get a nipple welded on for it, but thats like, a 15 minute job for any decent place. thats the intake side sorted, for probably a total of $50.

As for the exhaust, buy a set of aftermarket headers, and take it to an exhaust shop to get them to mate it up to the existing cat. the turbo maniold and dump pipe obviously are of no use, but the existing 3" system will be fine. Call it $300 for a set of cheap ebay headers and another $100 to get it adapted. Itd probably be as simple as a flex join or something.

ECU, find out what it is. It its a hondata, save teh turbo tune, and then get someone to load up a base N/A tune and tweak it a little. youve got some nice injectors, and with the intake and exhaust, youll probably be able to pull about 150kw at the wheels, up from about 115-130 stock. Probably put about $1k aside for a tune.

If youre not comfortable changing the exhaust manifold and pulling the intercooler out, swapping the pod etc yourself, budget probably 1K in labour. Or put some feelers put, and see if you can get some people from here to give you a hand to do it for a feed (ie have a BBQ, buy some drinks etc) that way you can learn to work on the car yourself.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to trism again.

If your located in Melb, I would do it for around $300-$440 (depending on how much stuffing around it is) and thats not including parts.

Tune will be $650 and you can keep the injectors and ecu in it.

I can also get PLM or Toda headers and where the fittings for oil/coolant lines go, you can just put bungs in that will block the holes.
