Let’s break down the $1000 turbo set up.

eBay gt45 - $150

De capped injectors - free - if you want to get them flowed $200?

Turbo manifold - use the truck ones and a T4 flange $12

PCM Hammer for Tuning - Free

OBD MX+ dongle $120

Walbro 450 pump - $100

Sloppy Best Cam - import version $250

PAC 1218 springs $70

Re used head bolts and head gaskets

Maxspeedingrod intercooler and piping $150

Miscellaneous fuel fittings, pipe etc $100

Looks like you are correct -can’t do it for $1000, would need $1152.

My apologies….

Would I do it like this? No

Can you do it like this and make 500rwhp? Yes. If you have the fabrication skills.

Let’s consider it a conversation piece.

When doing my LS swap I made sure that everything I purchased was up to the intended power level I would eventually be looking to achieve.

I needed to run new fuel lines, get a fuel pump, needed new injectors so just purchased what was needed for 600rwhp rather than what I needed for a 300rwhp na set up.

Once I have ironed out the bugs NA will buy the pieces to make the turbo truck happen. Will I do it on the super cheap?

No.

Anyway, sorry for the thread hijack! Do a little research and enjoy which ever route you decide to take.

P.

Oh..you are building a junkyard engine. I thought you were building a real engine that would actually last and was dependable. My mistake. Continue on.
