FINALLY got an email from Zage regarding my proposal. They're willing to do $1400 for the full kit so long as I provide some media regarding the install. Personally, I think this is incredibly fair and would only cost $50 extra than what I was originally planning to do (kit w/o turbo and pan, use ebay gt25). This will allow me to maintain a close relationship to customer service as well (atleast a rational person would expect this). SO, it looks like we're finally getting a test subject for this kit.
I'm going to bide my time for the next week or so, as I would really like to get some feedback from the guy who bought Yoda's kit. With what I know atm, I don't think fitment is going to be too difficult to account for, but I'm mostly worried about the quality of the turbocharger. I'm hoping worst case is that I have to replace it, but I'm worried about any sort of engine damage that may come with an explosion... Regarding management, I've decided I will be using the AEM FIC afterall. I talked to cdydjded briefly and didn't realize he's only running fuel maps (with the car running perfectly fine). I figure it couldn't hurt to try hooking up a few of the other features and asking my tuner to attempt to get them working. Worst case they don't, but I get fuel maps which appears to be all I really need. As for additional equipment to run with this turbocharger setup, I'll be swapping in 1ZZ injectors. I also will be adding a cheapo transmission fluid cooler. I'm also going to begin with oil cooling for the turbo. I hope to change/add water cooling at some point. I also really would like to add a water/meth injection system, but that's much further down the road. If anyone else has any other ideas for additional stuff, please let me know. Oh and btw Garm - you owe me oil tap pics. Don't think for a second that I forgot |
