ok so im new to all this modding. the only thing i have done modding wise ever was help take out my brothers NA 3000gt engine and drop in a VR4 engine. i have an 04 RA and i plan on turbo as soon as i save up a little more money. i would really like an evo, but being an 18 year old and going to college, there is no way i can get the money for an evo althought i do plan on getting an evo after college well after posting a couple of threads about my intrest in turbo samj601 on this forum offered me a kit. i am very interested in this kit i was just wondering if you guys can give me an input about this kit, what you like/dont like, suggest. here is the list of the parts in the kit. i asked to take out the turbo because i bought my own turbonetics t3/t4

Turbo Piggyback from RRM
RC 750cc "5th" injector from RRM
Machined injector holder from RRM
Fuel Pressure Regulator
T3/T4 50 trim Turbo
God Speed Intercooler and piping
Intercooler piping clamps
Greddy Type-rs BOV
Tial 38mm Wastegate
Oil return line
Waboro 255lph fuel pump
Turbonetics Manual Boost Controller
Custom T3/T4 Manifold

and of course some pictures

 

oh sorry i forgot the price, he was asking $2400 plus shipping, taking the turbo out only dropped the price to $2200 plus shipping

 

only dropped 200?? I thought that would drop atleast 5 0r 6 off of it

 

Man am I the only one that thinks the welds on that manifold look shady?

 

yeah i dont understand why the price was only dropped 200 bucks without the turbo. here are pics of the turbo. i am going to try to get the price down more since i dont want the turbo

 

I understand that you want to make your car faster, but I think you should just save your money since you want to get an EVO anyway. Think of it this way...You put the 2400 in the RA and then you drive for awhile...or you save that 2400 and more and drop it all on an EVO or if you are going to look at a used one, you might be able to drop cash on it and not have a payment. Since your insurance will be higher on an EVO too.

Good luck with whatever you do.

 

the only thing is im not sure if i will get an evo right after college, insurance will be so high and all, i plan on keeping the RA for a while

 

Get your car first by then the price of this turbo will be a lot less, if you even still want it by then.

 

i already have the car though

 

bedtime bump, let me know what you think, thanks

 

lol, i agree. and just kinda cheezy

 

I see this is for the RA.

 

yeah, i mean i want an evo, but there is no way im getting one anytime soon. and as for the welds they do look bad, i know. the good thing is my dad works at a machine shop and he can weld and his friends are master welders so i can get that fixed free

 

dont dump that into your car... could cause issues.. best bet... jus save up bro.. thats what i did and low and behold had about 8g's saved up and did a downpayment on my Evo.. USED of course

 

i know i feel you man, but there is no way i can get an evo, there is just no way, college is ridiculous, i want to make my car faster now, eventually when i get a better paying job after college ill get an evo, ill trade in my RA for one if i could find one that is, then i can make the payments and pay insurance, 20 plus grand for an evo is so expensive for an 18 year old. ill be happy with 250 to 300 whp for now. i really just want to work on a project. i want to make something fast, not just get a fast car, eventhough i love evo's
