93berettagt Posted February 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 Well I think I'm just going to tell him what everyone on here said and dump the idea of a turbo and go with the 100 shot of Nitrous. I had him planning on getting headers and the exhaust done until he seen one of those cheap turbos on ebay. I realized that there was more money to be spent on the other stuff to make the turbo work but I hadn't even thought if he knew about the other stuff. Mabey once I tell him that there is more to it than just the turbo itself he go back to the original plans to get headers and do other small bolt-ons, and if anyone want to race him to show him just how slow a stock ecotec really is I'd be thankful, I'm getting tired of hearing how fast it is.

thorne Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 I will take that race. I drive a slow car too but its faster then a ecotec. So if he wnats to run we can arange something. A BIG car pwning him. Well I think I'm just going to tell him what everyone on here said and dump the idea of a turbo and go with the 100 shot of Nitrous.

blazinjr Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 I would tell him to put a header, CAI, UDP, and other bolt-ons before I would even consider to do a turbo project. I thought about the nitrous last year so I went and bought a NX wet kit for my car. Then I found out that the wideband setup will end up costing as much as what I paid for my NX kit, and it is still setting in my basement. Do not jump the gun and start buying stuff before you know what you are doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
93berettagt Posted February 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 I emailed him the link to that turbosaturn site he said he'll get on there. I think he'll just end up doing simple bolt-ons for now because I told him that there was more into buying a tubo than the turbo himself. As for the nitrous kit he is still unsure about it, I myself don't know much about nitrous either so I can't really explain it to him. Thorne I tried sending you PM about racing him but it said you bin was full. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bird69 Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 I'll blow his doors off if you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coltboostin Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 I know nothing about turbos, and he knows nothing about cars.. THEN DONT PUT A TURBO ON THE CAR!!!!!!!!!! If you are mildly serious, get Maximum Boost, By Corcky bell. It is hands down the best book on turbo systems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
