My Turbo Build

[ksmyss]

Well I had to switch ways on what turbo I wanted to go with...

I was originally going to be getting a PT74GTS ball bearing turbo from a friend but he decided he likes it on his regal more than he thought he would.

So then I noticed that Borg Warner S400 turbos can be converted to T4 flanges for a small fee so I was going to get an S400-75. But after talking to Jon, I'm informed that the turbo itself is physically too large to fit with the way my kit is setup.

SO.. haha I have decided to go with the TC78 F1 trim. I'm awaiting Jon's response as to if it will fit because his kit is rated up to a 76 so if he says no I will drop down to the TC76 F1 trim... they are the same price so going a bit larger wasn't anymore expensive.

I'm not exactly a turbonetics guy (I much more prefer the Precision line but they are a good $3-500 more expensive) but I do know some people with them and I was assured by forcedinductions.com that they are quality pieces.

I was also told that the TCs are basically the same turbo as the HTQ pieces from Precision.

So upon Jon's response and my check that is supposed to clear tomorrow, by the end of the week I should have the turbo and blanket ordered


p.s. we should get ForcedInductions.com as a sponsor lol

we are getting ready to start mocking up an s400 in my buddies car. he got the turbo the other day and it is huge!

Who's SS in the background?

The SS is from the guy that I bought the shortblock off of

haha I got an amazing deal on this shortblock and a week later he imed me and was kidding around and said "hey man can I get that motor back, I just priced out buying a new one with those same parts and it's going to cost a lot"

I told him, "why do you think I told you I'd buy it within 10 minutes of you posting the sale thread"

nicely done then. School is keeping me from dumping the $$$ into mine right now.

[Z28pr0jekt]

That's understandable, school is certainly not helping me much right now haha
