i garentee it will crack in less than 10K miles. and if it doesn't i'll fly out there and hit it with a hammer to ensure that i stay right. for you GE guys that really want a turbo kit... i can gather a beautiful kit and the more i think about it the more expensive it is going to be. you are missing a lot of stuff the stock GTE has. and this kit will be done without a downpipe (i have no GE based car to model off of) and with no regard to your compression/ fuel/ computer needs. besides with as old as these cars are no 2 are close enough to mass produce a downpipe. not without a spit shined model. so if the first buyer wants a turbo GE i will include the downpipe free so i can model and mass produce it. at any rate it's going to be more than 2000. but i can include tons of stuff in the kit. if you want a turbo, manifold, downpipe, wastegate, screamer pipe and oil lines then that would be the cheapest thing possible and you'll have to out source a ton of stuff. and honestly i really do not want to list all that out to get a proper turbo kit working without having some kind of order for them. that and i absolutely will not install any such thing on a normal compression and fueled GE. so if you have a GE built for a turbo then chime in.
*insert cricket noise here* it'd be nice to have a ge that could handle boost, quickly add up to a 5000 dollar 3sge-t tho or more
lol in short just get a freakin gte hahaha. i will say though i know a fair few who run the ebay manifolds on cars that whilst not huge power figures they are still putting out more then respectable figures and havent had any problems. My main issues is they are fugly and the nice chromed look will last about 10minutes once you start the car plus high grade stainless my ass if it was theyd put up more info, weld quality is poo whilst it may hold together have a look on the inside of one theres dangle bits everywhere
I'm with Mafix, heaps of those stainless items here - all cracking! You need to re-inforce them and make braces, actually made in China A std kit for GE/FE owners would be great, how would you solve the oil feed problem? It's not a bolt-on conversion, IMO dumb to attempt it without a GE crank, rods, GTE pistons & injectors etc As Rev sed - cheaper & easier to buy a 3S-GTE
