External WG FTW!!


Nice pick up none the less...

FTW? whats that mean Cody lol? i got the external wastegate part lol

umm...that turbo is internally gated....just for the record. I dont know if you guys were talking about that or not.

Also what size is it? To me it looks like a standard T3 .42/.48 or a .42/.63

FTW=for the win

Yea i kno its internal cody just confuses me sometimes lol, i was half asleep when i was typing/readin it lmao. yea its the t3 .42/48

lol.... sorry for the confusion. I was too lazy to type out the whole words.

nice. mine goes in the week of March 18th... I'm still collecting a few parts for it...

Yea i cant wait, it be nice to get it done early but im not tryin to rush it, i figured get it installed first week of june then get it dynoed the following week, and then my show season offically begins. still have to get new paint job grr....

Wow... turbo install and a whole new paint job. Someone has a nice paying job. I am going nuts this winter sitting on a wad of cash and not being able to do anything with it besides keep saving more and more for this paint job which is going to cost more than the value of my friggen car... :disappoin

$3500-4K Just to repaint the entire car, wing, door handles, outer portion of the mirrors, and fix some spots that are starting to bubble in the bottom door seams in Arctic white, nothing fancy.

I might have to find my t3/t4 paper weight a new home at this rate.

ha yea right high paying job i wish....$8.50 n hour under the table is kno where near high paying lmao. But i do kno the right people when it comes to body and paint work.

i don't... mine car hates me right now cuz it needs a bath, but it keeps getting dirty, lol. First week of March my car gets painted too.... should I get my mirrors and door handles painted too???

i think u should get them painted also. it will look nice IMO.

i wish i made $8+ a hour. i make a sad $6 a hour :frown:

damn i make 10$ n hr at CAT Logistics....i cant afford parts tho, it sucks :( with a 320 car payment every month, and the fact that i only work about 25 hrs a week, mostly because i go to school...

anyway i have 2 say its nice 2 see such dedicated cavalier owners on the forum again....its startin 2 turn around :thumbsup:

Yea i just paid mine off about a month ago, so now i can start playin around with the engine a lil bit, yea i got school five days a week to i cant wait to get done and get a real job. lol

road construction is definately where it is at though....$18.50/hr for the summer....i have to pay for college too so dont think i can just dump all that into my car. I save about $5k for school, $2k for random and spend the rest. Its a good time, but it sucks balls....This summer i might be saving a lot more than that too because if all goes as planned, i might be attending a different college in the fall...in Brisbane Australia. If so, i'm selling the GSR and getting something while im there for the year (or more). I'll have about $15k to spend...what do you think i should get ;)

Nice...lmao something fast obviously lol

Damn, I work for Honda (building mini vans), and I make $12.00 on day shift, and $12.60 on night shift and I'm still broke :( I guess that's what happens when you spend $575 on a body kit (which will be here monday), $700 on an audio setup, $160 on an alarm, and a bunch of other stuff including suspension parts. This is the fartherest I've gone with modding a car. Can't wait till the summer to get it all on and painted :)

if you would have scratched the body kit and audio system, you could have done something to make it faster...personally i dont get the obsession some people have with body kits..i think they look horrible...

I make $8/hr at Advance Auto Parts while attending college. 13ish hours a week... This summer i am looking into a labor job. Now that i am actually away from home, i can't work full time and go to school full time. My only bills are cell phone and car insurance. However, i did a lot of my big projects last summer ( urethane body kit, rims and tires)...this year i've stuck to the concept of loving women in a non-binding sexual way has done wonders on my bank accounts. :)

dude save the 3k and by a book on body work and take this winter season to learn how to paint and then get all your supplies and paint the car yourself. classicrocjunkie i work at advance auto too. shop shity in cuse....what one you work at?

Thanks for stating the obvious, but I got a deal on both the body kit and the audio setup I couldn't pass up. The kit I have for the car is a Kaminari kit which does not take away from the curves of the car. It doesn't look a whole lot different from stock. I'm working on a budget here, and when I find a deal I'm going with it, weather it is for performance parts or visual/audio parts.

Hey, could one of you guys list the Turbocharger theoryt for me...I got a 97 Z24, just an intake......what would I need and how much would it cost to do so its up and running, a list would be nice :P :), talk to you guys later!!

G/f's are over rated... Sure they are fun for a while. I was in a relationship for 3 years, been happy with friends with benefits ever since. Especially in college, my baby is all nice and tucked away 80 miles away while i screw around here on campus. But thats just me.

You couldn't figure out how to remove your lower blinkers/headlights and you want a turbo charger?

I can tell you from experience that boosting an NA car is not the easiest thing in the world. People seem to think that you just slap it on and go, but there is more to it than that. Once you modify your car like that, you're on your own when you have problems because not many repair shops will do anything for you. Also, people underestimate the cost involved. I have about $4k into my setup alone....sure you can do it for less, but its going to be less reliable. Also, if you're not able to install it yourself, you can add another $1k onto that price at least
