so people say...but a fews guys here are using them. but if you want cheap, there you go.
disclaimer
i do not own glowshift gauges
lol

Mr_Meaty

nice list!
Yeah, that's the clutch I'm looking at.

about the gauges, I prefer electrical, but some guys swear by mechanical. Yeah, the mechanical autometer are under $100, but their electical ones aren't very expensive either.
Chris has the glowshift, and they don't seem to bad, but some guys say their crap. Hey, better then nothing for the mean time.

Yeah, you can use the stock mid pipe and stock s pipe.
You also left off any engine management.

But no kits come with gauges, and I had to add injectors and management to my kit, so I dont' think you should count those towards your total price, if your comparing to a built kit.

aen

so im missing injectors, and management. thats it. so add. 600?

Mr_Meaty

depends on what management you get. If you get the greddy blue, you should add the pressure sensor and harnesses. If you get the AEM like me, it's $400, plus harness. Plus gauges.

olaHalo

my autometer boost vac was 200

Mr_Meaty

Electric $99. $139 for boost with vac:

aen

whats a vac? and you had some kind of vaccumm in yours...what was that?

wait a minute. they might be the same thing...........

aem comes with harness and pressure sensor? whereas the greddy one doesnt? yes?

olaHalo

haha. those are pretty lame imo haha

aen

btw, this is where i started getting confused with everything...with the harnesses and the gauges and the mangement and everyhting, i'm not so sure what everything controls and moniters and what it does

Mr_Meaty

Hey, I was just saying. But yeah, your better off spending the money on good gauges. So your probably looking at about $200 apiece for AFR, Boost/Vac and Oil Pressure.

Vacuum is the oposite of boost, and you can get booth in the same gauge. Boost is obviouse, and vacuum can tell you if you have a leak somewhere.
AEM comes with the pressure sensor, but you will need to buy the harness with either of them. But the AEM is pretty new, so it might be harder to tune.
You need management to controll fuel, ignition, timing, etc...
Oh, and the Wideband UEGO Air/Fuel Ratio gauge will tell you if your engine is going to blow up or not, so you want a good one of those.

rrimportracer

lol, ya youll want to know when the engines gonna blow up!!!

hey theres nothing wrong with glow shift btw!! lol

i did this 1000 times before i just went out and got a kit!

turbo
manifold
downpipe
oil pan
oil lines
ic pipes
fmic
bov
wastegate
maf flange
clutch
engine management
injectors
gauges(a/f, boost/vacuum are most important)
vacuum lines/block

a bunch of little stuff that adds up
if you change the clutch might as well change the flywheel, new oil for the engine and tranny, a better radiator fluid wouldnt hurt, gauge pod

it adds up

aen

damn. thts where alot of money goes huh =|

so that big vaccum box thing that you had bolted onto the front of your firewall is the thing that measures the pressure and tells the gauge correct? cuz that threw me for a huge loop for a while.

ok. so

1. air fuel gauge
2. boost/vac gauge
3. oil pressure gauge

yes?

i mean, i can go cheap on....oil pressure correct? but i need to be accurate on afr and boost. yes? =/

cuz remember, im trying to stay inexpencive

aen

whyd you get a kit?

rrimportracer

yes a lot of the money goes into little things you need to get the car running.

the vacuum box is just a distributor block, makes it easier to hook everything up.

the actual vacuum gauge has a hose coming to it and connecting right to the back of the gauge

rrimportracer

you need a good boost and afr gauge thats for sure

Mr_Meaty

Yeah, you should be able to save some cash, but maybe not as much as you are expecting. And it may be worth the extra cash to know you have everyhing you need, and to get the service of someone like Dezod...I'm just saying that cause there are no Dezod kits in Vegas yet, and I'd like to see one!

But honestly, if your in good with Sue, you should talk to him. He should be able to hook you up with everything but the manifold.

aen

oh yea.

i keep forgetting.

____. im so excited about this the whole prospect that i am turboing my car that i forget i can get sue to help me out with everything hahaha

actually, i was expecting to spend about 5-6 grand on a turbo...and right now im at about 2300-2600...so im doing pretty good.......hahahah

aen

____. ill go tomorrow.

olaHalo

i think im gonna go talk to sue tomorrow also. just chime in and ask him prices on things,

btw meaty. find a good place to install clutch/flywheel. so far ive only asked regulate auto, and they said 450.00 dollars to install both.
thats way too much, so check around if you can...

aen

HAH regulate auto? omg. i told him to suck my dick once. my mom used to work at hte beauty supply shop( im vietnamese) in the cathay duim sum place next to his

dude quoted me 2 grand for stock rims stating that they are expencive to order from toyota


why don't we just install the flywheel/clutch? shouldn't be that hard right?
