4 turbo kits available

Hello,
We have mainly been active in this forum for F.I. and advice mainly because that is what we do and offer free advice. However, we are pairing with AAI to provide the 3G community with a V6 single turbo kit and I4 with 3 different levels of turbo kits. AAI and FIAS are going to work together to provide this to you. All kits except the base 5psi kit include intercoolers.

Some of you may be wondering about supply issues, but rest assured that those have been worked out. We have been assured that kits can be supplied to me kits 2 weeks after ordering, and when they arrive to me, I wll add in my fuel system, tune the car with the E-manage (lots of test & tune there), and get it out the door, which would be another week. So all in all, 3-4 weeks at the most for a kit to be made then shipped out.

AAI has done alot of R&D for the 3G, but unfortunately, they do not have the customer serivce side of the house to complement their technical side. Which is where we come in. Our whole goal is customer service. So Donald has asked me to be a distributor of his products.

We are very excited about this opportunity and hope that we can fulfill the gap for a quality turbo kit that really lays down the power. Specs for his kit are not available yet, but if someone would like to be a tester n he MD/VA/DC area, we do have a kit available to us to use on a car. Several people have contacted me for possibility of a V6 kit, more than my current I4 kit, but until now, I had no way to appease that need.

For the RS/GS kits, 5psi will net 200whp, 8.5psi will net 264whp/284twq, and 11psi has not been dyno'ed yet, but is expected to be in th 290+whp range and over 300wtq.

For the V6, the kit dyno'ed 280whp at 5psi with no fuel upgrades. With fuel upgrades, we are expecting a 350+whp dyno at 9psi.

With a 5 psi, is that a 200 whp boost to add on the factory horsepower, or all together... Dumb question i know but im rather thick headed...

That is all together. The stock manual dyno's 117whp, so that is a gain of 83whp.

Would you be able to ship the kit and what are the price ranges

Of course the kit is able to be shipped. Price for shipping is ~$100

and whats the tag on the kits..2.4L kits

I've been looking for a way to turbo my 2001 GT, I was considering completely modifying my axle and engine and put the twin turbo for the V6 3.0 3000 GT VR4 on my car. It'd be quite costly though, around 7,000 - 10,000. Please send me any information of specs and prices for this turbo kit thats being offered.

pm's have been sent. thanks for the interest!

Question:
How is the clearance on the kit going to fit ride height or where are you putting the turbo? last i heard 4" off the ground w/ the car unlowered (v6 models) will this be the same or is it going to be a different mounting spot, also how much testing on the stress put on the engine/ engine durability
also a list of the parts you are going to use/replace would be nice

I do not know where you heard the turbo was 4" off the ground, but it is not. This kit is designed to run on stock internals and be reliable. The for the V6 contains the following:
A.A.I. 2 1/2" Downpipe
A.A.I. Wastegate Dump Tube
A.A.I. 2 1/2" Intercooler Tubing
A.A.I. 3" Turbo Inlet Tube
A.A.I. Side Mount Intercooler
Turbonetics T3/T4E Turbocharger with Polished Compressor Housing.
Turbonetics Evolution Wastegate
Turbonetics Raptor B.O.V.
Turbonetics Silicone Connectors
GReddy E-Manage w/ ignition harness
Walbro 255lph fuel pump
Stainless Steel Clamps
Oil Feed Drain Systems
MAF Adapter
K&N Air Filter
B.O.V. Recirculation Hose
All Required Mounting Hardware
Ceramic Coated Hot-Side Tubing
Powder Coated Cold-Side Tubing (Silver is Standard, Optional Colors Available For Additional Cost)
8.5psi kit will have 370cc high impedance injectors

Here is an image so you can see the turbo placement

:D nice
prices would be nice though, gives me something to work for

I assume the Greddy E-manage will work for boost control, or is that something i'll have to spring for myself?

Where will the turbo kits for the 4cyl. 3rd gen 2.4L eclipses be able to be bought at? Is there a website, JonnyBgood? Because AAI's website is mostly in Japanese. Also what would the price range be for the kits?

pm sent! Thanks!

pm me a price on the v6 kit please

how much is the V6 kit, someone pm me please.

does anyone know how much it would cost for a shop to put a kit like this one in. i know each shop will be different but a ball park figure would be nice. thanks.

anyon know?

pm sent!

Hours wise, it will take 8-10 hours for a shop to install this kit.

How much is the v6 kit cost? J/W

i'll give you the pm that johnny gave me...

uhem

johnnyBgood: pm sent!

just so you know it is exactly the same copy you gave me, i just helped out a little bit since you weren't online

Thanks! I would post prices, but there is a strict advertising policy here, and none of my questions regarding it have been answered. And I think I am skirting the line with this post. But no matter, I will still offer advice and pm's where and when possible/necessary.

johnny i would like to have the price for the 4 cylinder turbo kit if you could

pm thingie sent

uhem

PM a price on a 4cyl. 3rd gen 2.4L turbo kit plz

sure thing

how much johny for gs?

gotcha hang on...sending pm

i dont mean to be a pain in the rear end, but could i also have the price of the 2.4L GS 03eclipse...thanks

fo sho buddy, ill be hookin' ya up

PM a quote on a 2000 GS please

pm sent. Thanks!

johny i talk to my tech. and they are good with japs. imports he told me that my stock 2.4l can not hold 11psi unless u change some details to the car... is that true?

Absolutely not. We have run 15psi on stock internals with no problems. All F.I. kits for the 3G I4 come in some stage ready to run 11psi. I also know of another 4G64 with 141,000 miles who just boosted his car to 9psi with no problems at all. This engine can take some boost and make power.

the 4G64 is an upgraded motor of the 4G63. It has the same rods as the 99 Eclipse 4G63 turbo, which handle up to 400whp with no issues. The "weak" point of this motor, if there is one, is the piston. It is not forged, but can handle up to 350whp easily.

What are the specs on this turbo? Have any compressor maps, flow numbers or anything?

We have the specs. It is a Turbonetics T3/T04E, 50 trim, .63 A/R. Compressor maps, the turbo manufacturer or kit builder has on hand. I supply the fuel system and sell the kits. I do not design it.

Arrrrrggg, tis a fools game you play.....

please pm me on the cost of the v6 turbo kit

Pm sent.

just, so i'm aware, what kind of fuel are you suggesting use w/ the turbo kit/ what kind of fuel is required, i did a lil searching and there are...3 places that offer higher than 91 octane (which is crap if you ask me) and i'm told MFA (excuse this) has piss sh!t gas and they are 2 of the places in town, the other place is a BP station that has 93 octane and its on the opposite edge of town i usually stay on, do i need higher than that octane?

I recommend you run higher octance because low grade fuel will make your car detonate. I would suggest 91 octane or higher.

johny is there anyway u can guarntee our money worth for that amount of hp n torque.. something we can have in writing?

I can give you dyno sheets. There is no guarentee that the kit will make the exact amount of power, but close to it. I can guarentee that the kit will give you at least over 100whp over stock. Alot of variables come into play with a turbo kit including altitude, type of fuel, etc.

fo sho buddy, ill be hookin' ya up


Can you PM me this info too please?

there ya go, btw i like that carhottie site :-P

what about super chargers, do you offer those too?

yes.... www.rippmods.com

i think he was asking if jonny offered them...to be honest i don't know, but there was mention of superchargers on his website

www.fiautosports.com

I do not offer superchargers for the car because of Ripp's buy in requirements and the turbo is a better power maker for the 3G, according to dyno sheets, not me.

there is a guy in canada and has his car on the web. and he has a sc with a four cyl 3g. I don't know which way to go because I hear they both make better hp than the other. Is there a place that has a comparison of sc and turbo dynos? thnx if you can find somen'.

there are ups and downs to everything, it depends on what kind of person you are, i'm a turbo person, i like the idea of being able to stay under the boost and keep gas mileage reasonable, while being able to dip into the power range and let them listen to the scream of the BOV when i shift, hearing the turbo spool when i'm accelerating

on the other hand, the SC is a different sound, sure it has the Bov but it doesn't scream w/ the same effort that the turbos does, its belt driven, and max boost won't make it until u hit redline, where the turbos boost hits max b/t 2500 and 4000 rpm and holds til redline w/ a whistle while accelerating the entire way...there's a difference my best advice is see which u like better because either way, you won't lose

BTWAYSIDE JOHNNY!!

good question for you, because the 4cyl turbo kit fits teh 4g64 sohc motor in the RS/GS 2000+ , will it work on the spyder eclipse 96-99 GS?? or will there need to be structural modifications to make it fit? i have a friend that was looking for FI and he said he couldn't find any
if it makes ne difference he has an automatic transmission

The manifold will fit, but I do not think the downpipe will. for everything else, I am not sure. The 3G is wider than the 2G, so it may not be th best fit. Some alteration would most likely be needed, but may be some trimming of the pipes.

If he wants a more DIY turbo kit, he can check out the Max Rev kit for the 4G64. I think that would be more up his alley.

With the SDS though, I thought boost kicks in as soon as you hit the pedal because it's belt driven whereas turbo's are exhaust driven or am I missing something?

pm on a V6 turbo kit please

turbos reach full boost somewhere b4 redline, but the SC keeeps building boost the entire time because its not a freeflowing all of a sudden, its on a belt driven by the engine and it constantly increases until u reach full boost at redline, sure there is no lag, but i like my boost sooner

and pm sending.....

A centrifugal supercharger kit hits max boost at redline, or 6000rpm. At half of redline, the boost will be 1/4 of of maximum. So if you have a max boost of 10psi at 6000rpm, at 3000rpm, you only have 2.5psi.

On a turbo, boost is built using exhaust gases. Maximum boost is hit by 2900rpm (depending on turbo sizes, boost levels, etc.) on the AAI V6 turbo kit. You retain that maximum boost until shifting or redline.

For the instant boost, you would be referring to roots and screw type blowers.

i think you meant to say that a centrifugal supercharger hits max boost at redline.

yeah, thanks! changed.

if i chose to turbo charge my GT will i lose traction if i keep my stock tires. will i have to change to stickier tires. can you suggest the biggest size and width that i can fit in my GT.

if you use FI at all, you will lose traction w/ stock tires, they will work, but you'll want to upgrade to get the best grip. either talk to a local shop or talk to people on neweclipse.org to get good or bad reviews on new tires, a pretty good set of 4 from tirerack won't cost more than 450 they also have a good sizing guide and what wont' work for ur car
