Forced Induction Found a Turbo Kit, now to purchase :)

Found a Turbo Kit, now to purchase

http://www.turbo-kits.com/corolla_turbo_kits.html

Lots of people say these kits are not any good but I went though the parts list and everything on this kit looks to be high quality and the fuel management system that comes with it is pretty decent too. Not to mention they have a picture on there website of the kit actually installed on a 1zzfe.

Why don't you get it, and then let us know?

I'm going to I just need to wait for my bonus check next month and then Cha-Ching this thing will be on its way Right now I need to finish installing my new racing seats because I'm pissed off at my broken drivers seat. I got the steal today to fab the brackets but I still have a lot of work to do. Seats now, Turbo later.

Sweet, keep us updated

awsome....you be runnin 6psi

who was the person who actually tested this kit and said it didnt fit

Well one of my friends bought one for his Corolla about a year back and nothing fitted on so I dk man just be sure to get the right set up man.....

and hey Doc is ur turbo kit gonna be better than this one or just about the same?

ya i hear that thing doesnt fit at all, that turbo kits.com place is a rip, i remember someone did it it didnt fit, then they got next to no money back.....i would steer clear dude

I would just wait for the one Doc is making man, at least you know it'll be legit

I guess we'll see.

lol it better be better lol

You know me, draw your own conclusions

lol I know, I'm just hoping they are since at least I know that you do legit and honest work unlike many shops out there.

Yea Turbokits.com has been known for shitty service and parts just like OBX

take it from hookedup96, TSI is pure crap.. you are better off piecing together your own kit.

yea in any other words they suck ..... hell do what pupo did man just fabricate ur own turbo set up or ask Vortex man he can help you out with the whole boosting thing since he's got a boosted rolla (99' Rolla by the way) so I dk just some options so u don't get screwed over man

About how long is it gonna be til Docs kit comes out? Im starting to consider it

Well he said that by the end of the year for 93-97 rollaz the kits will start to show and for our models 98-00 it'll be a lil more

All I know is that I don't have turbo and I want turbo. I wish someone would just write up a DIY for turboing a corolla with a parts manifest and cad drawing for the pipeing and bends that could be sent to emachineshop.com so we could all just do our own turbo kits without having to spend 10 trillion dollars and buy a shit load of tools we'll never use again

hey thats a good idea....if it comes down to the point where i have to pay for those designs and layouts i would........but isn't this a corolla forum?where's da love...vortex?....doc?....sir vamp?

Well, that's basically the whole idea behind the Phoenix Tuning kits, if you look into it you'll find that just putting all the parts together comes to about the same price.

There are two things that will get the kits out faster, and if someone wants to help me with them then great: 1. Investment (I don't have the cash lying around to buy a bunch of turbo parts) and 2. A test car (I have a Celica here that can be the 4AFE test car, but I need a 1ZZFE test car, and a 4AFE Corolla).

And anyone that can help with this will get a significant discount on the kits. A lot of engineering is going into this project, it's going to take a while, get a lot of testing, and when it's done it's going to be a very high quality kit.

I see where your coming from Doc.....but mainly we also wanna get the info or layout of those who have successfully turbo'd their cars.........(guides).....

If you do enough searching around and reading on the various forums you can learn a lot. Head on over to www.6gc.net and check out the how-to section, they have details on how to turbo a 7AFE and a 5SFE, reading both will learn you a lot

thanks

i'm a active member on http://www.homemadeturbo.com go here but plz read new user faq before asking any n00b questions.

Or ask any questions at all, that's one of the most notorious forums on the internet. The majority of the people on there are a bunch of Honda-loving kids who haven't done any more than an intake and think they're experts on turbocharging, and flame anyone new that shows up.

In fact a couple weeks ago they started this thread against NET and a whole bunch of them went over to NET and registered and started posting all kinds of crap all over the forum. Thankfully the admin was on and took care of it right off.

Did you see my thread on there a few months back?

HMT = Teh Ghey

Got a link to your thread?

nah i just started going back sometimes this month.. I registered 2yrs ago after super pilun recommende the site as thats where he learned to do his turbo setup. I learned pretty much everything I know from there and honda-tech forced induction forum so it cant be all that bad.

And here's the thread where they attacked NET:
