turbo
ok so im gonna post this here...because i want some faster responses if at all possible...
Ok, so i think im going to build my own turbo kit...i have everything else picked out...but im unsure about the turbo... I can only afford about $400 for the turbo, and i was wondering what you guys think of this
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Parts...=p4506.c0.m245
I would be running under 9psi, and if i ever wanted to run more boost, i would upgrade to a turbonetics or something.. my question is...do you think this would work for what im trying to accomplish? (under 9psi)
thanks

and i'm really sick of your "i wanna drift my 300" and "i want a turbo in my car" threads. if you don't want people to tell you what to do, then why the hell are you asking us in the first place? why don't troll somewhere else with your $400 budget on forced induction. you either pay to play, or you stay out of this game.

Honestly bro ! i wouldnt buy a key part to a turbo set-up off of ebay ! spend a couple more hundred and buy a reliable turbo off someone you know that works or buy a new turbo from a reliable builder like turbonetics or precision turbo ! and it doesnt have to be a big turbo 57 trim or 60-1 hi-fi would be ideal ! just my $0.02 !

I dont mind if someone wants to give a pointless opinion..but when they try to tell me what I want to do...its just freaking annoying..and i said 400 for the turbo itself..not the whole system, and yes i know you can get a good turbo for that amount you just have to look around, and maybe get one used, i was just asking what you ppl thought of that turbo in general, a simple, "that might work" or "thats crap" is what I, and i assume other ppl on this forum are looking for..not a "dude you should get a greddy...its the best.." blah blah blah...i can tell everyone what the best thing to get is all day long..i asked for an opinion on that one turbo..and it seems like its impossible to anything but a retarded comment from anyone (except a few like jeff/Jcat/Fonzy...at least they seem like they know what they are talking about) on this forum...i came to this forum b/c it seems like it might be able to help...and i cant stand ppl that have nothing better to do than bum around and give their stupid opinion on EVERYTHING! whether or not they know crap about it! i ask tons of random and pointless questions on this forum, because if you dont know something..or how something works..and you cant find it..you ASK! and thats why i have a lot of random question/drifting posts..yea it would have been fun to do that..but from ASKING about it i found out its more than i want to get into right now..so please...either answer a question...or leave a stupid comment or w/e..just dont tell me what i want to do, or get onto me for my seemingly irrelevant posts...you know...we all have to start somewhere..and i dont know how to learn if i dont ask any questions/question what people tell me on this forum..

ok...i always seem to end up re-stating my question...lol my question should have been...i just want to have fun/learn to drift (basics) in my GS...what would i need to do so it wont break lol, if i like it...ill buy another car and trick that out for drifting...same thing if i drag race/road race...i want my gs to have some power..and kind of be able to do a little of each..and see what i like the best..and then i will get my "fun" car accordingly...(this is why i have asked about nitrous and stuff...cuz i want to test the different kinds of racing to see what i want to get into...i would love to do all three..but that probably wont happen..lol i already know i love road racing..so i just want to try out the other 2)
does that help at all?
does that help at all?
ok so im looking at some wheels that i want...but they are 18 x 8.5 in the front and 18 x 9.5 in the back...what kind of spacers would i need? and would there be rubbing issues with that size on the back? and what size tires would i need for both? also if someone has a picture of these sizes (especially that 9.5) i would like to see what they look like. would the wheels "stick out" from the car if they were that big?
Thanks
Thanks
Ok..so i used to hate drifting...(actually i used to hate anything but American muscle, drag racing and nascar..lol) needless to say...ive changed...and until about a week ago i thought drifting was pointless...well ive come to love it, and i just want to know what i would need to do to MY CAR (i know most of you will say to sell and get a 240 or something...but i, not going to so dont bother..lol) to make it into a "weekend" drifter. (and by weekend, i mean i want to keep it close to stock, just upgrade the essentials,) also, has anyone ever done a e-brake relocation?
Thanks
Thanks
and that is exactly what i have been doing, telling you what to do with your car.

+ 1 on the turbo, BUYER BEWARE!!
There are plenty of other options that are much safer out there, they the classified section.
Good luck.
