prly my fav part about it

Approx. Max Flow - 635 CFM

NOTE: This T3/T4 turbo is being misrepresented all over Ebay by sellers who obviously DO NOT KNOW anything about TURBOS! They are all giving incorrect wheel sizes, trim, and performance figures. They do not provide any contact telephone numbers. They also do not want you to ASK THEM ANY QUESTIONS! BUT WE DO ! Please contact us if you have any questions so that we can make sure that you will be reasonably pleased with your purchase.



when he clearly says its a

STAGE III - .63 A/R T3/T4 HYBRID TURBOCHARGER

but than shows a map for what!??? a GT3071R!

turbo kits are getting cheaper every 6 months, when i first got into the game

a ebay turbo kit was between 2.5k-3k

and quality turbo setups were between 5-6k

now you can get a GOOD setup for 2k


i think in a year or 2 ebay kits will be 400-500$ and everyone will be boosting

i dont think the price of good kits will come down. good fabrication is expensive. you get what you pay for.

in 2 years maybe everyone will be boosting on ebay shit and wondering why there shit sucks dick.

ehh, i see your point, BUT

ok Garrett makes good turbos right?

right now lets say that Garrett orders 10,000 turbos to be manufactured a year, their given a price, and the price that they sell it for reflects that.

Lets say that Garrett makes enough money to open their own manufacturing plant...

they can afford to drop prices because their making alot more

their turbos go for cheaper, more are sold, they make more money

the more turbos that are sold, the more they perfect their manufacturing process, and the cheaper the turbos get


simple concept, look at computer prices 5 years ago, and now

that will work for maybe turbos the put on stock cars from the factory.

i doubt there is gonna be a huge increase in sales for basic t3/t4 turbos let alone gt turbos.

and besides like i said good fabrication is where the money is at. my manifold alone cost 1,100 bucks.

take ur time. slow build do research.

get the small things u will need. that way when u get the mani and the turbo u can slap it all in. but please don't forget to tune. don't be one of those kids driving around without tune and bout to blow a motor.

stat with the basics. fuel pump. injectors. gauges etc. then when u figure out the direction and goals get the bigger pieces of the kit. mani. turbo. u know

GL man should be tons of fun :thumbup: (and by that i in no way am saying ur fat :0)

i would go with cybernation or full race for a turbo setup for an ep. greddy kits are kinda shitty and expensive. they have problems all the time.

if you feel like boosting and are thinking of a supercharger as well then hit me up. i might be selling my jackson racing race kit.

Just get a k24 for now, and dump that ugly k20a3. Trust me you'll much faster and happier for now. Then when you get a few more bucks go f/I with that, then you car will really move, like low 13's high 12's easy. Dump the k20a3 it sucks, get the k24. Plus it would be so simply to do and you could just keep your same tranny.

there is absolutely nothing wrong with boosting a k20a3.
get a good tune and you can push them into the upper 300's on pump fairly reliably.
If there is an advantage to the k24 besides displacement and low end torque i should like to here it as i am skeptical. im a honda man.... im all about the high end power curve ya know.:blunt:

I went with the rev - hard stage 2 kit for my EP3, but I upgraded to the KPRO and 630cc injectors. It's a big investment but it's designed to bolt on to the stock engine setup and when properly tuned will make "reliable" power, that could function as a daily driver/ grocery getter if needed. If you only have the one car I would save up for a complete kit and a "good" dynotune.
