is this "kit" worth anything or is it just junk? just seems to cheep granted it looks like alot of tubing fabricating...... but for $400 I think I could justify paying an exhaust shop to fab some exhaust tubing or do it my self... I searched and didn't find anything on this kit so I though I would ask the experts.

You will not find an exhaust shop to fab you anything remotely close to what is needed to turbo your contour.

But if you could do the fab work yourself :) then this kit wouldn't be that bad as a starter kit. Def gonna need a few more parts to make that intake kit work with the turbo.

yeah I'm pretty confident I can do the tubing fab work and yeah I understand there is more I need

such as

injectors I have some 24lb but 42lb lightning would be better
a tune xcal2 or 3

a svt focus fuel pump
boost, oil pressure, fuel pressure and a wide band guages

oh a LSD and zetec final drive would be nice...

I do have an extra engine and trans to do the fab work off of....

and the clamps in the kit were listed as gear clamps so yeah junk....

I just worry that the turbo will break quickly...
 
Beans said:
You get what you pay for :(

You should do a remote setup Purdy :D
Click to expand...

yeah that is what I figured but if it is a t3 t4 flange it seems like I might be able to upgrade turbos later

as for a remote setup what are you talking about beans? do you have a turbo?
 
By remote i mean rear mounted at the exhaust, and the cold side comes all the way back.

No i don't have a turbo, i have to finish my car sometime :crazy:

I thought that is what you meant and I'll have to pass on that I'm not interested in gutting my interior

mounting the turbo where the cat sits sounds more realistic but still a pain

yeah I have much work to do on my car too:nonono: damn contours :cry:

I'm just curious, have you ever seen a turbo kit installed on a tour in person?? Im not doubting your abilities but the fact that you are considering buying a $400 universal ebay kit isn't a good sign.

But anyway, give it a shot, take alot of pictures and keep us updated.

Is this the same car that ran pvc piping?

Yes, i think it's really a cool idea for these cars considering the engine bay already is about as tight as it gets.

Just a little bit more engineering and a little less PVC i bet it could turn out really well.

That made me smile. :) And yes, Purdy has seen the engine bay of a Turbo SVT! He could do it, but I wouldn't start with a kit that has a turbo included for $400. You would be better off buying cheap universal pipe kits and buying a turbo/intercooler separate. I don't think I'd ever put a turbo on my car that cost under $400 alone. That thing probably has TONS of shaft play straight out of the box, and I'd also bet it'd blow oil pass the seals upon the first start up.

yes I have seen a few turbo cars engine bays namely Reebs and LivinSVT.

on Reebs I was lucky enough to see it apart so I got a good idea what the tubes look like so yeah I have an idea what I would be getting into.

yeah Jeff the only thing that saves the kit is the t-3/t-4 turbo flange as I should be able to upgrade the turbo when the cheep china crap blows up...

I did know the kit looked to good to be true and I have real misgiving about that but it is also along way from $2000-$3000 kit and there is so much more expense needed..... I just thought the kit was worth mentioning something interesting to talk about. granted I do believe the NPG kits have great value and are pretty cheep....

this is a daily driver and I don't like the idea of my turbo hanging down below the car...... maybe for a fair weather car that is never driven on a dirt road or in the rain....

You didn't catch my point Neal! It will blow out as soon as it sees any oil pressure... so the first time you start it! That turbo would blow oil past the seals from day one. I promise. :D

personal experience?

all this is hypothetical because at this point no turbo kit is cheep enough but interesting none the less...
 
As cheap as the kit is it can be very usefull. But if you get a t3/t4 kit for instance. Pick up a t3/t4 garret turbo the needs to be rebuilt, because the kit turbo will not last long. blaast performance uses a very simaler turbo setup. But if you pickup a cheap garret on ebay that needs to be rebuilt. use the garret turbo and you should be fine. Garret turbo around $50 on ebay rebuild kit around $70 on g-pop shop + kit = good turbo setup.

I wouldn't buy that kit. Non-roll beaded piping, non-reinforced silicone, hose clamps not t-clamps, and a questionable turbo. Chinachargers are fine just buy one from a reputable company (cx racing or etd)...I built a remote kit the lowest point of the turbine is about an 1" below the bottom of the roll resisstor im gonna be reworking it a little bit later on just for the hell of it but it's only about 2 inches behind the center of the front wheels so the chances the chances of it actually hitting something are slim, obvioulsy a little careful driving is in call for but its not really the turbo you have to worry about they are fairly robust its the lines and fittings you really need to worry about. A scavendge pump is also needed for a remote setup it will cost you about 115 for a Shurflow.

*edit* ps that kit isnt even really a kit because the IC piping is cake the hard part is making the y pipe which it gives you nothing except the flange to do. Also you would want 2" hot side charge piping.
