All depends on what you want to do........

are you doing a stock turbo + manifolds?........... cheap

or a full setup with aftermarket manifolds and stuff?.......... more expensive

are you doing everything yourself?

I mean everything by your self?

4k on a turbo setup... damn

i could stretch 2k along ways...........

I dont have more than 3k into my powerplant counting the standalone, turbo, engine, manifolds, ect.........thats a $1200 standalone byitself

zbrown

from what you said above..... if you did it yourself, 2k would do it easy.......... shop around and you could get all the stuff for less than a grand.......

You can buy a complete beautiful compound twins setup for a cummins for 4k

yeah I will be doing everything by myself (with the addition of my dad and 'josh) I am not sure about the exhaust though...may have someone else do that.

Grr

since you have the stock downpipe, it will hook right up to your stock exhaust. Save your money on that for now, just hollow out the cat.
Also yours is an 88, so the alternator is already in the right spot.
So, get a set of exhaust gaskets
timing belt
t-belt tensioner? ill have to check if its needed, dont remember
ignition stuff
upper intake gasket
new FI hose for feed/return and injectors
do you have a top, or side-feed fuel rails?
injector seals (bottom)
trans
that should take care of most of it, once all that shit is done you can start upgrading it later. DO NOT spend time and money upgrading to bigger/better stuff until the car is driveable with the manual with stock stuff. Also i would do a full emmissions delete on that intake, it clears up tons of room.

listen to what gary just said. stock first so you can work on problems.

JN210

Alright, Gary im sure has a history of knowing his shit, thanks for the help man. I will definitely be willing to do the essentials for now....the only thing wrong with my exhaust really is that the muffler is ripped open....I just need someone to seal it up...The injectors I believe are top feed. I am not so sure on how to clear up the intake....I have no idea how to do that...

KA-T_240

gary and jason would be able to help you on that. And, I can get you a OEM muffler and install it i believe.

JN210

I would appreciate that very much.

Just replace the tip, i hear APC makes nice tips.

JN210

mmmm.......there isnt anything wrong with the tip...its the muffler, there is a opening on the side of it...so it rattles....badly.

So if im just going to turbo my car this summer, how much money would be a safe amount to have saved up? (Im thinkin 2K) .I also would like to get an exhaust from this site......Mine is shot......the one im lookin at is 800 some, but the main question is "How much is a good amount to keep in store for this project?"

Stock exhaust is 2 inch :icon_puke_r:

I'm going to get the CM Z-172, and the Z-175. Then make a test pipe and

install a oval Magnaflow muffler. :icon_cheers:
