If you don't mind me asking, how much did you guys spend on your ghetto/budget turbo setups?
How or where did you source your parts?
This is for anyone who wants to reply.

I would still like to do a junkyard turbo on the DX, but only after I get back on my feet. God it sucks not having a job.

HF mani, adaptor plate, dsm turbo, dsm 450's, dsm smic... probably the cheapest turbo setup, since most of it u can get off a junked dsm...

I win....

Eaton M90 off of a thuderbird.... plumbed pre throttle body with a blow off valve and recirc valve

$150 for the blower, was like $50 to have a V pulley modded to the blower, and a couple dollars for other odds and ends

was a junior or sophmore in HS when i did that, lol

Had a huge thread on rx7club.com for this, 50k+ views

im not joking. if i could redo my setup using no actual piping whatsoever and utilize only intercoolers i think id see some very significant gains.

it's the introweb. There's definitely some dumb ppl on this board so I wasn't sure.

[bubba]

actually from what Ive heard... when it come to those rear-mount turbo setups, they do loose a psi or so, but the intake temps are so much cooler, that it actually increases the power...
