Default Cheap Power..

Hi,
I'm thinking of changing jobs since I've been layed off.
And I was wondering if anyone would be intrested in a 100% bolt on turbo kit for the c4 corvette. With an adjustable wastegate for up to 6-20psi. Which means its possable to get 550 hp out of a 350.
All for only 1600?

Heres the parts included
By the way the turbo kit is only for l98 only?..
Kit includes 1 cast iron turbo manifold.
1 Rebuilt Rajay E10 turbo that is the largest on that Rajay makes.
1 steel cross over pipe.
1 adjustable wastegate 6-18psi
1 cast iron drivers side header
1 crossover pipe
One passager side header or you could use your old on
1 3inch steel down pipe to to cat?
Intake pipe from turbo to throttle body
1 oil fittings from turbo to engine
1 intake lines
Please let me know if you intrested in the future?
Shane

Umm.. YES PLEASE!.. haha, If it is a quality kit and works good... ALOT of people will be purchasing it :cheers: . I would be one of them!

BTW: You dont always want to just throw on the biggest turbo out there.... The bigger the turbo, the longer it takes to spool up. You gotta do some experimenting and see what size works best! :steering:

Keep in mind some things in the engine compartment changed. Primarily 85-87 are the same, then 88-89, then 90-91. I don't think the stock internals would like 550hp too much, but it would be fun to try.

Well, the reason I'm selling a kit for 1000 is a USED kit that is completely diffenernt from the ones for 1600.
The one for 1000 needs to be modifyed to fit your car. Second the one for 1600 is still in design. I just trying to figure out if I do make it if anyone will buy the turbo c4 kit.
I'm still in the process of making a complete kit for the c4 which will be 1600. And will contain a complete working kit.
That is down pipe, specialy designed for the c4 vett.
1 cast iron turbo manifold, 1 passager side manifold
1 cross over pipe
1 adjustable wastegate
All oil fittings specialy designed so that theres 0 drilling to the oil pan,
all intake piping from turbo to intake
1 piping to air cleaner.
1 rajay e10 turbo good for up to 550hp

all for 1600
Now I can install a intercooler for really modifed engines (that is lower then stock compression engines) for some extra cash. Although on a stock car with stock boost levels from 6-12 psi there is NO need for one. It actually creates more of an restion in air flow then beninits in lowering temp.
Althought for 14-21 psi it's defenitly recomended. But not needed.

Go compair this price to any other turbo kits and this is like a 1/4 price of other manifactures. Although no one makes then for the c4 and since I'm such a big fans of the c4 vettes, I'm going to make some kits.

Don't forget to add in the Forum's cut. If you plan to sell it here, you gotta get to be a supporting vendor. ;)

Yea, Only the L98 are made for turbos, so in that case I will make them only for l98s.

Thanks,
Shane
