Celica Forums General Discussion Engine and Performance for those who are saving for turbo kits...

i was just wondering how man people out there are actually trying to save for a turbo kit and how much they saved and how long its taken them to save. so far i have been saving for stage 1 c2 power kit for my 2002 auto gts since feb 1st of this year and i have $2200 saved so far and with shipping and everything its gonna cost $4000

if you have joined the GB on C2 last yr you would only spend less than that. way less. plus all you have to do is pay the initial installment of 500 buck via wire trnsfer then you can pay up the rest.

Aerowilson182 is selling his! Good price. Check it out.

Man you saved up a lot in a short amount of time. is it 4000$ just for parts and everything or is that including the installation.

don't forget the endless amount of tuning...

if you are running at 5 psi.. tuning wouldn't be a lot. If you start increasing the boost then you wallet's gonna start feeling the pain

i want to get one but its gonna take me a while to save, but im savvinnn

okay so how much aprox. would a turbo run you. initally and in the long wrong with tunning.

st1 should be around 5K+ with the upgrade of clutch, flywheel, parts and misc, labor, and tunning. ofcourse labor can be saved if you install it yourself.

if you increase the boost you will also increase your expenses. engine upgrades, possible tranny upgrade depending on the amount of boost.

there's a guy in new celica dor org who's selling is c2 st1 for 3K with i believe 1K miles on it. the price is still high but if you can negotiate with him, i guess he can lower it. if that was around 2800, i would thing it's reasonable

will the kit work on an auto car?

as far as I know, yeah.

well, $4,000 is stage 1 shipped, i have an auto so since its stage 1 i dotn have to upgrade the tranny unless i wanna go stage 2 , i have an install quatoe so far of $800 so lets just say ill have the turbo sittin on my dresser for a while so i can wake up and admire it everyday lol, im a little uneasy about buying used performance parts so ill keep saving, im hoping itll just require minimal tuning since im only gonna be running 6 psi, itll work with an auto fine, i wish i coulda got in on the group buy oh well, how much has anyone else saved up?

m saving $400 for the kit shipped with optional sard bov and apexi filter + adapter.

u mean $4000 right?

4000 - 400 that's what i'm paying for c2. GB benefit.

if you wanna save 1K on a kit here's a guy selling his used:

remove the space between new and celica... you know how this site hates the other and filters anything that has new*celica in it.

damn too bad i cant get to that thread

copy and paste, there is a space in the link so just remove it.

.


too bad if you can't go in the new*celica.org website. Bing is getting interested buyers on a possibile 2nd GB.

i have 3k saved up already for a stage 2, been saving for about 6 months, cant wait,!!

good luck with stage 2, i dont know if ill ever have enough money for that since id have to replace a lot of my auto tranny parts so i think ill be happy at stage one im definately gonna try and see whats up with the group buy

i have a gts so that one for sale is for a gt i cant use that
