Mate as i said before do some more research, how can u budget 6k total and not have any idea how much a Engine management setup will cost you.....
your saying i have 6k to spend... turbo kit is ~3k
u go buy a fully programmable ECU - for 1200, then 500 to install and another 300 for the dyno tune - all ready at 5k right there.
Everything else involved going to cost less than $1000 ??? |

Snort kits are the easiest on the market to get setup!
And for those of you out there that say the standard computer and t5 won't take it, I'm here to tell you, you're wrong!
What you get with the Snort kit:
Manifold, turbo, dump pipe, wastegate, screamer pipe(if externally gated), BOV, intercooler, intake pipe and air filter, oil feed and drain lines and fittings 12:1 fuel pressure regulator (must be plumbed inline after the stock reg. I think thats it.
What you need after that:
Cooler piping, exhaust, silicone joiners, fuel line to plumb the 12:1 in, fuel pump (Walbro 255 or Bosch 040), some vacuum lines. That should have the car running!
The standard computer and map sensor will take up to 11psi max so you can safely run 10psi all day on the stock stuff as long as you have enough fuel for it. The 12:1 reg should take care of that but i would suggest a dyno run to check AFR's before treating it too badly.
As for the T5 I have just removed a, still working(not broken) EA t5 from my car in which it put up with 300rwhp for 2months and 347rwhp for about the same amount of time. I was not nice to it either for those who will automatically assume I babied it. Didn't happen!
There have been a lot of wrong perceptions when it comes to what you can do with a mostly stock E-Series for a long time. Now there is proof that it can be done.
PS: Chef was a fool and that car was a bucket of crap that made no boost. I helped dismantle the car when it got to QLD. It was rubbish.

| BT, should post the Willowbank Vid over here to prove the EA T5 didnt get babied, although 13.7@110mph driving it off the line should also prove that |

BI6TIM Sounds like you know what your talking about.
Im a complete rookie at all this, and have only looked into snort performance for about 2 days, plus the rest of the research... If im paying the 3K for the stage 2 snort, how much will i be looking at for the rest of the setup?
As you said there are a number of components i will need to look at after installation of the turbo kit, before the car is running properly without any problems.
Can you give me an estimate of how much i should save, so i have a sort of goal or benchmark to hit...?
That goes for anyone, i need as many opinions as possible =D |

This engine bay cost me about $7000 but I've been in the motor industry for a while and know a lot of people that saved me a lot of money. Everything in this engine bay is new!
That's including the exhaust but nothing else outside of the engine bay like gearbox or diff. I've probably spend the best part of $10,000 on this car in the last 6months and that doesn't include suspension etc. which was all done by the time I took the car off the road for this turbo conversion.
You don't have to spend that much though. I would say you could get away with it for about $6000 if you don't build a new motor. |

wow, that looks awsome!
i pretty much said to myself if i go into this, im gonna be looking at about 6 - 7K by the time the car is running without any problems. Iv got a few mates in industry aswell, which will help. My mate is a ford mechanic, hes going to install the turbo kit for me, and take it to get dynoed and tuned.
He'll also do any extra installations for me, but thats we're im stumped. I know im going to get the snort stage 2 kit, but after that i dont know what to get so that it runs without problems. As you suggested in the post about 2 above, is that all i will need for it to run nicely? |

The only other things you'll need, that don't come in the snort kit, are cooler piping, exhaust, fuel pump, silicone joiners and I'd like to see the xr6 spark plugs (which are one heat range colder) go into it and clean injectors would be nice too.
After all that there is just the usual things that you do with an E-Series ie: set base timing properly, set base idle properly etc. |

| mate of mines au ute is running standard fuel pump with 42 lb injectors and its pullin 250rwkw on a snort stage 3. its strange he had a bosch intank pump but the guys who put his turno on didnt use it. can i ask? how come when you do a fuel return test on a car there is s**t loads of fuel coming back so i figured there is room for bigger injectors. i am getting the bits and pieces together for my ef xr atm and i have a walbro internal 255 ltr/hr and ba injectors ready to go. i dont know why the guys at kpm motorsport didnt use his internal pump they said its the wrong one? |

XR6T runs at 300kpa, 32lb/h at that pressure.
They should really reference those with pressure, from memory the S/C Ecotec (36lb/hs) are @ 300kpa too. |

Good point. BTW I just read another thread that claims the XR6T reg is a 4-bar (400 kPa) reg. I assume that's absolute pressure and you're quoting gauge pressure? |

are you using a aftermarket ECU - piggyback or full ?
i doubt the stock ECU will handle Ba injectors |
