What are you guys running with this kit to have it only cost 5000 bucks? If you could pm me that would be awesome and much appreciated.

Mr_Meaty

mattieg:
sorry. I was gonna reply to your question but some stuff came up this weekend. I'll try to post up a breakdown tomorrow.

mattieg

hey no biggie, whenever you get a chance. Thankyou for it in advance.

sounds good, looking forward to seeing it! Is it possible for me to get everything not powdercoated for a cheaper price? I was looking to powdercoat them my own custom color... man Todd must be real busy right now... I have so many questions but he is mia right now haha... hope everything is going well with the new baby and wife todd, that is if the baby is out.

Mr_Meaty

I think Brett got his charge pipes raw. I like mine black, so I think it's graet that black PC is included in the price of the kit. I also opted to get the mani, turbo hot side and down/s-pipes heat coated for $100, $35 and $75 respectively.

I forgot that my invoice is at home, so this is off the top of my head:
The kit lists for $3,599.
That is for the base stage 1 kit, not the GT. It's actually larger then the GT stage 1 but smaller then the GT stage 2.
GT kits have ball bearing turbos.
This includes a Garrett T3/T04E turbo with 4 trim chioces and 2 A/R chioces. (Mine is 54trim .63 A/R)
Tial 38mm Wastegate
Choice of a few BOV (I got the HKS, no extra charge)
Equal Lengh Mani
2.5" Down pipe
2.5" S-pipe (most kits dont' include this, but I think Dezod is now)
Wastegate Dump tube
Intercooler with 2.5 piping and T-Bolts.
Vacuum block (I don't think any other kits come with this)
K&N filter
Steel Braided Oil feed/return lines.
Slim line fans to replace standard radiator fans.
And all the gaskets, washers and what not.

No cutting or modifying was required to make the intercooler fit, however you do need to remove the sound dampner under the hood and your valve cover as they will melt. Also the plastic under your front bumper has to go.
The only holes you have to drill is the one in the oil pan and 2 in the crash bar to mount the IC.

The only other thing you NEED are larger injectors, 440cc at lest, which were $300.

I also got the AEM F/IC Piggyback $400
Harness for AEM $310
2 step colder NGK spark plugs $35 for 4
AEM WideBand Eugo $300
AEM Tru Boost Gauge/Controller $300
AEM Oil Pressure Gague $200
(You could go with autometer gauges on all 3 and save $300 or so)
ATI center mount gague pod $100
OEM Exhaust Manifold Gasket $30
Toyota Oil Pan Sealant $20
Like I said earlier, I got everything heat coated as well, which was not neccessary but highly recomended, as this thing gets HOT!

Now, personally, I got discounts on some stuff for providing Todd dynos on the bushing kit (hopefully this weekend) and having a freind at the dealership, but this should look pretty good as a total price.

Your looking at $5300 without the heat coating.
If you got the autometer gauges, that would put you at $5K
You still need to add in install costs if you have someone esle do it, and tuning costs. I think the price is VERY competitive considering all you get with the kit.
I'll post agian if I think I forgot something, but I'm sure this quote is what I'll use when I post my own thread!!!

mattieg

Thank you so much brother!!! I might ask Todd how much its going to be for the ball bearing, simply becase it is water/oil cooled and puts my mind at ease a little but more. Unless the stage 1 is both oil/water cooled.

Mr_Meaty

My turbo is oil only. The BB upgrade for that one is $500.
But all the GT kits all BB and they are oil/water.
If you go that rout, I would go for the stage 2, as it has more potential then the stage 1.
But I think your idea of getting the base S1 kit and getting the BB upgrade is a GREAT idea! faster spoool and longer life.
I have a feeling I will end up upgrading the turbo on my kit long before it dies on me. But I gotta get that motor built first!

ummmm..... did i ever mention mr. meaty is the man?

Mr_Meaty

Just wait till next week when I post my thread and you see how DIRTY my engine bay is! You may change your opinion!

TurboToyotas

You can get the pipes raw if you want but it doesn't change the price.

Yes things have been a little hetic, but I am here. So quick ask all the questions you can

Regards-

Todd

PS- baby is not here yet, but is expected any day. So if I dissapear for a few you all know why.

Mr_Meaty

Ah, THERE you are!
I sent you a slew of emails, so if you can back to me on those, I'd appreciate it. I might be able to get tuned on Thursday, which means dynos this weekend! But I need that IC pipe!

TurboToyotas

LOL

I answered your emails and your pipes will be there tomorrow

Regards-

Todd

Mr_Meaty

NICE!
We should have some dyno #s this weekend!

t_urbo_C_harged

hey Meaty, I didn't see anywhere in there about a clutch upgrade...

Mr_Meaty

Stock clutch.
We'll see how long it lasts!!!

mattieg

TODD!!!! WE MISSED YOU!!! So how about that stage one with a BB upgrade and water lines... and Todd could you shoot me a message with a price and also prices for what Mr. Meaty said... or what you could get me. Thanks! You were definitely missed here.

TurboToyotas

Thank you But I am still in and out, babys not here yet.

You have an Pm though.

Regards-

Todd

t_urbo_C_harged

let me know how long it lasts and how much it slips lol... how many miles do you have on the stock clutch???

I was planning on running the stock on low boost until money rolled around for a new clutch and flywheel... we will see...

Mr_Meaty

I got close to 20k on it so far. So that will be the starting point for boost on the clutch.
I'm expecting by this time next year I'll be putting in the Spec Stage 2+ or the Clutchmasters Stage 3, but I'm not doing the flywheel.

TurboToyotas

Neither.....you will be getting a Comp Clutch from me allot sooner than that
