sweet

i want to do this build sooo bad!!!!!!!! think im gonna start piecing it together.

 

[SpringerDesigner]

badass..!

any clue on ballpark price..?

 

[Jn2]

the saab setup would probably run you in the area of 1000-1500 depending where you have your downpipe made, and on who does your tuning...the lnf kit could be more pricy since those are newer parts not commonly found at junkyards

 

[CobaltCpe]

yeah i would really like to do the saab setup too as $1500 is not too bad.

 

[RJSLSECOTEC]

i think if u search hard enough and have the resources it might be able to be done under a grand.. well thats what im shootin for..haha.
does anyone know what the stock spring is set at on the saab high pressure turbo? like 7psi?? maybe?

under a grand...? are you taking into account the tune, custum DP, Wideband, injectors, pillar pod, there is NO way you can boost a car for under one grand... a decent boost setup will take about 3grand to be running on the car...

 

[ff_drift_lol]

cool man this makes everything look much easier.

Not sure about that.... but I boosted a old 92 sunbird 3.1 L for 750$'s
Using all junk yard parts

But if your talking a good strong reliable kit... your looking at 1500 - 2200
Counts what you got for parts already and know the right people

... what kind of gains are you expecting... if im boosting a 2.2 im hoping to go from the 125ish whp to 210 with the power to make over 300

Nice write up!

 

[BlackCobalt707]

you know you can draw oil from the head as well right? its alot easier then doin it from the block

 

[interviewatruins]

theres a reason you don't want to draw oil from the head.
there is a restrictor up there.
to be honest the best place to draw oil from is directly from the pan.

downpipe = 80 bucks tops, for me 40.
injectors = 150 used with harness.
i bought 60s for 40 bucks before on ss.net.
pillar pod not really needed = 40 used
wideband = 150 used
tune = 200

plus the turbo parts which is on sale on ss.net for 800 right now.

[BlackCobalt707]

---------- Post added at 12:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:33 PM ----------
