im lookin for 225hp at least i got a short ram intake upper and lower enigne mounts and a complete monza exhaust car has 100k i need a turbo for around 1500. will my engine get 225 without messin anything up
wil i be caapable of 12's with a 1500 dolla turbo and a good driver its a auto trans
Not to be an a$$, but to save yourself some trouble read the FAQ at the top of the boost page. To sum it up, unless you have some awesome connections, resources and know-how, there is no way in hell that you will get a 225 hp setup on your car for 1500. Maybe try to find a used GM s/c to satisfy your boost needs for now. Good luck.
I've now got about 3k invested like shifted going the absolute cheapest route I can. I am shooting for high 12s on an H/O motor. 1500 would never be enough.

well since youve been herain some pretty bad news so far. like they said the there turbo kits are expenseive but I would imagine that if your good at with engines and turbos you could through a junkyard turbo topgether ( would prbably have to be striped and worked on) with a junker intercooloer an ebay mani and a bunch of cheap parts where you can get your hands on them mabye just mabye you could pull 225. whew periods arent my freind.

if he knew that much about engines he wouldn't be asking about this. so the real answer is no, you won't get 225 hp with 1500.
15.958 @ 88.201 stock, still getting @!#$ty launches...
yeah i figured but no one likes bad news

im not astupid i know about engines ive just never turboes a car im only 15 anyway with 3 k what can i get and how much psi can my engine handle on stock internals well i should probably just get new internals
i think i know a pretty good deal about engines ive just never turboes a car im only 15 anyway with 3 k what can i get and how much psi can my engine handle on stock internals or should i get new internals too i plan on doing this myself
sorry about the double post
damn 15 I'm not sure you should be allowed to have a car, let alone drive a boosted one.
Back on topic with 3k you can piece up a decent custom turbo but that's without installation and forget about internals for that price.
Depending on the turbo I'd say max 8 psi to be safe.

well i see turbo kits like from exploited for 1500 and s*** and isnt cavalier connections 2400 i though i could get internals and 9:1 pistons for 700
Look at www.homemadeturbo.com and look around on there, there are a few jbodys on there but its mainly all honda. A good source for info on cheap performance the best kind of performance.
3 types of jobs here:
Good, Fast, and Cheap, choose any 2
1. If its good and fast, it wont be cheap
2. If its Fast and Cheap, it wont be good
3. If its Cheap and Good, it wont be Fast.
A lil off topic, but oh well. I'd say wait till youve been driving a lil while before you go for 225HP in a 2700 pound car. Not busting your balls or anything but if your only 15 you really dont need that much power... Im personally glad i started out with a 79 Grand Prix that had a POS 301 4-barrel, i didnt have enough power to hurt anyone or i just might have.
Im only 18 now and still dont trust myself with the car i have now lol, although i do have a sense of my own mortality.
Wow i just got way off topic, im cut.

Also, do you have the tools and resources to really pursue this kind of modification???

I do know a few 15 year olds who know their engines... but a junkyard turbo set-up takes some hardcore mechanical knowledge and a lil' engineering =P

Just umm... be careful man. Learn the road before you go all fast and furious.

225 hp does not equal 12 second quarter mile times, not in a J-body
you probably wont need "internals" for 225 hp, you probably would for 12s
it's fairly obvious you don't know what you're doing. You're going to need to start reading.
shifted whats wrong with exploited ive heard news before about taking forever but is it bad quality and im not doing this alone my dad is going to help install it
can u upgrade a internal bov and how much psi is cavalier connection turbo i think i was looikng for 6-8 psi i like the cavalier extremem stage three can my 100k motor handle it ro should i go for new pistons and rods first
You mean an internal Wastegate right?? There is a diff.... You can adjust a them to whatever boost you want within limits. The BOV does not control boost.
