I'm new to turbo kits, and need help deciding what else to get in addition to a kit.
 

Hey everyone, I'm new here and will be purchasing an frs in the next month or so. I have been looking into getting the Greddy turbo kit, but I would like to know what else, other than the kit, I should purchase so that I can properly get the most out of the kit. What I mean is, what other than the kit should I be purchasing to get this car to about 300whp?

you need to start here:

lol^ specifically look in the stickies. There's a thread about pricing out kits and components.

^shhhhhh don't give away all the secrets now.....

In the order;

Kit
Tune
Oil cooler
Injectors+pump
Clutch
Over pipe
Mid pipe
Exhaust
Motor mounts
Flex fuel kit
Coil overs
Rims+tires
Built motor
M85 rear end
V160swap
Unicorn semen

FA20Club has some good turbo kit dynos if you'd search for them you'd find some...is that better @ftc~brz? Lol

YESSSSSSS....


lmmfao

Gauges...custom driveshaft to hook up that V160...accusump...you forgot a few ;)

Although I guess that unicorn semen could be traded for some of those items.

that last one is a MUST HAVE

A clutch and a tune from James M, but I am guessing you haven't done enough research to know who that is.

Ugm... personally I would prefer Pegasus wings, but hey to each their own!

i didn't see this was his absolute 1st post or I would have been meaner.

**But really start reading through that link I posted. Start with the stickies and work your way down. Read build threads of peoples stuff you like. And know all the stuff you need BEFORE you start tearing up the car for the love of god.

i spent 6 months doing daily solid research before even buying parts and I made several expensive changes. You can't just slap a turbo kit in and go and there are too many of us assh0les around here to learn from. Don't ask what you should do or need to get, do the leg work and know yourself.

much luck to you

Thanks guys, I'll give those threads a look, and figure out exactly how I want to build everything.

Next time I'm up that way you should come out. I'm turboed. ^that *** is supercharged. I'm over 300 at wheels. We all like to talk about our bitches.

FIFY

^dying

OP is going to switch to an @FullBlown kit from LJ once he meets you guys just like @shiro did.

Yea I'm down..... Once I get the build running that is.

You should join 86ONE (Owners of New England) and Tri-State FT86 Club on FB

Still got a boner

I will once I have my FRS, and I plan to go to the majority of the meets in this area.

i'm making about 270 whp on 91 right now with the greddy kit, but I just ordered the flex fuel kit so it should be at least 300 when I get on e85, you can check out my build thread for supporting mods.

Since when can newbies write new thread topics? Didn't you used to at least have 10 posts before you could start your own topics so we didn't wind up with so many of these "Hey guys, what's a good turbo?" threads... Not jaded at all.

It's been a busy week at work; sorry for the late reply and thanks for the tag.

Awesome to the OP. There's a pretty large difference in the kits depending on how you set it up (turbo size, bov, waste gate, etc). If the OP has any questions hit me up or LJ @FullBlown. Also, if you have any questions about the Greddy kit I am pretty knowledgeable of that kit too (especially after talking with Andrew at Greddy USA).

Enjoy! :)
