| Garret T3-60 0.48 A/R |
This came from an 84
Ford Turbocoupe 2.3L Turbo/Automatic. The manual transmission turbo
is probably better suited because of a larger turbine A/R. I think
it is 0.63. This unit needed a bearing kit installed. |
$25 |
| Rebuild
Kit for T3 Turbo |
I got mine
from ADS (Area Diesel Service, in IL) |
$50 |
| Custom Exhaust
Downpipe |
Mine was
made from things you shouldn't use. ;) |
$10 |
| Custom Exhaust
Manifold |
I took a
LO tubular exhaust manifold and cut it up. I then assembled the
elbows in a fashion to make a log style manifold with a riser to
the turbo. I took these pieces to a welder and asked for it to be
made. He provided only 2 peices of metal. The entire thing is stainless
steel. Be sure to add support for the turbo's weight. |
$85 |
| Intercooler |
This also
came off a 2.3L Ford Turbo. Unknown year and model. |
$50 |
| Fuel Injectors |
I got mine
from Marren Motorsports.
I purchased 55 lb/Hr injectors. These are plenty large. This was
my BIG cost. It might cost less to use slightly larger than stock
size (which is 32 lb/Hr) and use a rising rate fuel pressure regulator.
This would also make idle easier. A Quad4 needs low ohm rated injectors.
A V-6 needs high ohm rating. V-6 motors will probably need smaller
injectors also. Just use the calculator on Marren's web site. |
$400 |
| Programmable
ECM |
This was
included in the Head, Cam, ECM work, but I'll include it here too.
This is the brain of my car. Without it my engine would not survive.
I have an Electromotive
TEC-II. It is an old unit that I picked up used, but works well.
It is a little behind the new units in tuning cell amounts and features,
but cost me much less. There are several good companies out there.
One other company is Haltech.
I probably would have gone with one of theirs, but found my unit
for less. |
$650 |
| LO Quad4
Block |
This was
taken out of a 93 Grand Am. It had 93K miles on it. I am using a
LO Quad4 because it has a lower compression ratio. It is 9.5:1.
Not much lower, but everything helps. |
$150 |
| Blow Off
Valve |
I ended
up finding a G-Reddy Type-S used from a friend. Other possibilities
are 1st generation DSM valves and perhaps 3000GT valves. This valve
lets out the boost pressure when you shift so that it doesn't back
up and damage the turbo when you shift. I did not have one of these
at BFest in Memphis. Because of this, my hoses kept blowing off
the motor while drag racing. |
$65 |
| Charge Pipes |
I made all
of my charge pipes out of old pipe that was laying around in the
shop. Many elbows are radiator hoses. Whatever would work is what
I used. Very cheap methods, very cheap results, but it works. |

| 2-Bar MAP
Sensor |
Purchased
new. GM Part # .................... This sensor allows the ECM to
read positive boost pressures. |
$40 |
| EGT Gauge
with Warning Light |
Purchased
from Westach Gauges. Not really
pretty, but very functional. I had used these gauges before and
new that they worked. |
$160 |
| Boost Gauge |
Westach
again. |
$55 |
| Gauge Pod |
Lo-Tek
gauge pods. These were made after the group order. |
