XS Turbokit for EK installation diary - Step by Step

[RedVTi]

At this stage, I do not know what will work and what won't work until the exhaust is done and start driving it.

I am sure all of you have good advices

I bought the injectors and pump so it won't lean out and end up cost more to fix. They are not expensive items.

Here is the cost summary to date:

Imported EK with rego $6,300.00

XS T3/T4 Turbokit $1,150.00
Stainless Steel Oil line $90.00
Second intercooler $160.00
3" to 2.5" reducer 90degree $35.00
Apexi AFC Neo $420.00
550cc Injectors -saturated high impedance $200.00
255 LPG Fuel pump $80.00
Sard Fuel regulator $164.00
Cluster console for duel gauges $40.00
Boost gauge & oil temp gauges $80.00
Front strut bar $50.00
Front lower 4 points H bar $90.00
Total : $8,859.00

Custom Exhaust with Xforce items( may use a Varex muffler) TBA
Clutch, pressure plate ( ACT/Exedy) TBA
Flywheel TBA
Brake pads TBA

I need to keep track of the costs because i have two projects running at the same time.

Most importantly, the cost of this project + the car must stay below the cost of an imported EK Type R/VTi-R in order to prove that the statement in my signature is true. Fast EK is both affordable and fun. We have already got another working example but it has a custom turbo kit with expensive parts.

What should be the expected power after all the work is done? 120kw at the wheel? Become a mess and take months to sort out?

Stay tuned.........

ive got a very very very close setup and im getting 120kw atw

only difference is im running stock fuel pump and 440RC injectors, but i dont think thatd make much of a difference to your setup

What psi are you on to hit 120?

[Couper_Trooper]

mine didnt.

it ur ganna run more then 6-7 psi i think fuel pump is a good idea. remember more boost the more fuel u need to get up to it

Exactly

Just wanted to point out to you incase

On the red joiner on the right, just under the clamp there is a tiny gap between the joiner and the pipe

Now that the cost summary is up it all makes sense.One of the best threads I've seen.

[aimre]

so it cost more than a greddy kit.... nice

Don't forget the 1k your need to make her legal + brake upgrade.

Add 2k to your total

There would be nothing worse than smashing her after all that work and not getting your insurance payout...

[Limbo]

i would have opted for the greddy kit ove the XS power that's for sure.

RedVTi took one for the team, and allowed us to know which was the better alternative..kudos
