I have a 98 gs and im trying to find some a turbo kit to add. Most of the kits i find are for 4g63's and not for 420a's. i did find a kit on Fastwayracer.com and i wasnt sure if they were a scam or not. It didnt seem to be so im considering purchasing from them. It came with pretty basic stuff and a t4 or t3 turbo.
The other question i want to ask is were to find an ecu or some sort of software that allows engine control and etc.. but all the sits and products i found were extremely expensive.
If you could help me out id really appretiate it.
You'll spend less money if you sell the 420a and buy an already Turbo'd 4g63T. Perferably a 6bolt.
There ARE some 420a equiped 2nd gens that were turbo'd well enough to push over 400HP, however, they are rare, expensive, break down frequently, and are a headache.
What you will need to CORRECTLY turbo a 420a :
Forged Internals - (Pistons, Crank, Rods, etc)
AFPR
Wideband
Reprogrammed ECU - Flashable
Upgraded Fuel System
MLS head Gasket
90% of the 2nd Gens you see that say they are turbo'd get the "Woosh" sound and think they are fast. If you want your car to TRULY be turbo'd, read up on it before buying a "Turbo Kit".
Steal a TD05, modify an exhaust manifold to fit it, and go from there. You won't be wanting to push much more over 8PSI until you get some internal work done along with stronger studs and headwork.
Oh.. and make sure to set up your MAS correctly. If you don't know how to do that, RECIRC, RECIRC, RECIRC the BOV.
