right on man. car is gonna be nice. let me know how the install goes.

i just paid off the line of credit i took for my last big project (wheels/brakes). i will be taking another 2000 for the next one (turbo). just waitin for the crappy weather.

I'm gonna try and keep the thread updated.

I was thinking about $2,000 to get the car drivable with the turbo setup, but that turned into about $3,200 so far. Lol.

so far.......

281pony · Aug 22, 2010

oh for sure. the 2000 is just to get me started, get the bigger stuff purchased.

im in the middle of a price tag that keeps growing right now, i know what you mean lol.

so far im at 1500 with my on3 kit(used but not installed) and my 42's and 3" protube.still have to get a fuel pump and turbo blanket and header wrap.add a tune and it should be around 2100-2200.its going ona mostly stock 90. cant wait!

I'd kill for your garage! Lol

lancec2c30 · Aug 22, 2010

It definitely adds up quick, I still need a new set of plug wires, maybe a msd coil, and figure out tuning.

Mike, you'd kill for my dads garage. Haha. He's just nice enough to let me fill it up with my crap for a month at a time.

And only update for today was getting my ignition box install started and pulling my stock injectors.

I'm stuck right now, cause I need to buy a spool of 16ga. wire.

looks good. let me know if you run into any snags. within the next month or so, ill be bugging the bank for some $$ again. it will likely be for one of these kits.

This was sitting at the doorstep when I got home today.

I just hope my install goes a little better than cobra912's.

Cobra912 · Aug 23, 2010

ah I'm sure it will if you have any luck. we hooked up a DB gauge and LC1 in a buddies vehicle without problems, it's just my luck. I'm happy with my XD kit now. What color did you get - blue or red?

Cobra912 · Aug 23, 2010

What's your plan for injectors, mass air meter, inatke, exhaust, etc, etc

Going to electric fan?

lancec2c30 · Aug 23, 2010

I went with the blue gauge on mine.

I've picked up a set of Delphi 42lb injectors off The Corral. Mass air is a PMAS blow through setup.

I'm running stock intake mani. and for the turbo I plan to copy this setup.

View attachment 210829

I'm going to run a y-pipe from the down pipe to my spintech cat-back, with a cut-out.

I've got the e-fan and 3g alt. off a 94 gt that I want to throw on.

Do you know where people get that DCC e-fan controller?

SMOKEDYA · Aug 23, 2010

I hope your kit goes on better then mine has!What a crock!So far the coupler for the TB dosent fit,theydirections said to cut a 3" hole for the turbo to intercooler pipe to go threw which it didnt have to it just goes stright down,the oil feed tee off the block hits the block so it wont screw in,the bolts for the waste gate hit the flange on the hot side so i had to buy new bolts,no mountingbrackets to mount the intercooler so i had to make my own,and now tonight i just discovered the alternator braket isnt drilled big enough so the bolts dont work.peace

I had the dcc it worked well but the Spal i replaced it with seems a bit nicer. I just had a boss welded on the radiator and got a temp sensor.
My DCC took a couple weeks to get after I ordered it.

everything is looking real good

Does your coupler not fit because of the 90mm TB you have?

I knew the kit didn't come with intercooler mounting hardware.

I'll just have to see how mine turns out, I don't know how much different the 351 kit is, but it hasn't been in production for very long, so maybe there is still some issues to be worked out?

As with anything, you get what you pay for. It's a base priced $1500 kit, so I've kind of figured on having some hiccups. That is too bad that the hole got drilled for no reason though, he needs to get that confusion straightened out. Have you told him about it? That's gonna be a PITA to fix now.

Alright, I'll see about the other setup. But I've still got the stock radiator, so I dunno if I want to bother with trying to braze something on there.

Subscribed. I have been curious about the on3 kits. Everyone over on corral swears by them and everyone outside of corral does not. Lets see someone with real world experience

Kit came in today. I've no complaints so far, as far as a first look over goes, other than some of the fins on the intercooler being tweaked from packaging.

Cold side.

View attachment 210656

Hot side.

Y-pipe and turbo.

I didn't get pictures of all the couplers, v-bands, etc yet. And Chad's still waiting on the PMAS's to come in so he can ship mine out.

Not much progress on the car, because it's been entirely too hot to spend any time out in the shop.

1990Coupe · Aug 26, 2010

NICE!

Yea but dude... The 351 kits are fairly new.. I don't trust ANY company when a product first comes out. I would have waited until other people had issues and the company worked the bugs out before buying a new kit.
