Do you guys think getting a TurboXS Knocklite is agood idea? Some said it's unless because the knock light is too sensitive, and can't tell if they have true engine knock or not.

Dude, No ones posted because you have a really long list of things. I didn't go through it, but it looks like your familiar with the parts, not familiar with the install, and pessimistic about the outcome once you're dedicated... There are billions of people describing their setups, so spend less time searching parts, and more time searching the Turbo FAQs and FSMs (both KA and SR). Doing this answers your first and second post. And, don't waste your money on your last post (my opinion).
Once you read more into others' setups, you need to decide for yourself. We aren't going to decide for you. Not sure about the Megan products (another personal opinion), but skimming over the rest, your parts list looks [expensive and] good. |

200 bucks for s15 injectors? not bad, although the 2nd injector looks like it has black stuff on it...maybe they're used? also, there's a zilvia vendor who's got a special on the t28's running...i think it's a little over 700 for the turbo and elbow(?) piping. i just bought a spare ka that i'm gonna boost so i'll be researching just like the OP

Dude, this is the whole point of this thread. Instead of just focusing on some big parts like everyone else does, I want to show the whole package. You and I knew that turboing a car is not just slapping a turbo and call it done. This will help other new people who wants to turbo their cars. If you read my thread entirely, you would know that I spent alot of time on researching already. And you are right about that I have never turboing a car before, so I have no experience on installing at all. That's another reason to make this thread. I just want to clarify things. Please don't flame me.  |

As you go about your research you will discover little things that you need to change, like the PCV system. Since its an S13 you are going to want to upgrade the ignition coil. Other than that you have your bases covered but I am inclined to say that you are over-thinking it.

For the oil feed/return, I think I'll do this:
NISsport Oil Pressure Adapter for 240SX 1/8 BSPT (male & female) & 3 1/8 NPT (One 1/8NPT for oil feed; One 1/8NPT for oil pressure sender unit; One 1/8NPT for oil temp sender unit) NISsport Oil Pressure Adapter for 240SX KA24(D)E T25/T28 Oil Line Kit http://www.jgstools.com/turbo/ka24et.html#anchor398149 0.063" Oil Pressure Orifice http://www.jgstools.com/turbo/ka24et.html#anchor398149 Garrett GT25 GT28 GT30 GT35 Turbo Oil Drain Flange Kit Garrett GT25 GT28 GT30 GT35 Turbo Oil Drain Flange Kit:eBay Motors (item 280387081859 end time Sep-18-09 02:06:29 PDT) This setup will be cheaper and simpler (no need to cut stainless steel lines). |

I didn't read any of that top list, but you don't need the above oil fitting adapter. You're not going to reuse the OE sender, and the oil filter bracket has two ports, one for oil feed, one for a true pressure gauge (if you choose to use one. $49 so you can hang the leaky, shitty OE sender back on is stupid.

2) For the oil fitting adapter, are you talking about GReddy Oil Cooler Adaptor W/Thermostat 12401123? I know it has two extra -10AN fittings and I can buy 2 1/8npt GAUGE ADAPTOR for oil temp and oil pressure sending units. Thanks! |
