What You Need? To Turbo Your CJ

Postby Ozie » Tue Dec 23, 2008 1:22 am

What You Need? To Turbo Your CJ by: Phoenix
List of Everything you require for Turbo Modifications for your CJ Lancer...

FROM XTREME BOOST

Base Turbo Kit: USD$3,800
Evo X Custom Aluminum Exhaust (same upgrade model for X, and same for Turbo Lancer): USD$1,150
Forged Internal Upgrades: USD$1,225
Polished Piping: AUD$500
Ceramic coated manifold: USD$150

ELECTRONICS (Prices are for Defi, generally the most expensive but MOST accurate. They go black when you shut off the engine)
Turbo Boost Gauge, Oil Pressure, Fuel Pressure, Exhaust Temp, Intake Manifold Pressure Gauge: AUD$240 - $300 each

Control Unit: AUD$120
Greddy Profec B Spec II Boost Controller AUD$500
Greddy Turbo Timer: AUD$125

*note: you can opt for $25 gauges as well, but that would be at your own risk of course :)

BRAKES & HANDLING:

Toyo R888 Proxes: AUD$1400 fitted for 225/235 40/18" (Ozie... give them some LOVE!)
D2 Racing 6 Pot Front OR Rear (each): AUD$1,300 - $1,400

OR... alternative for a brake kit

Endless SSS Front Pads: AUD$275 (Used to be RRP $240, but exchange rates made them rise)
Endless SSS Rear Pads: AUD$275 (Used to be RRP $240, but exchange rates made them rise)
BREMBO (custom) Cross Drilled Rotors: AUD$295 each pair + custom fitting fees

If you want to get a brake kit, like a BREMBO or D2, custom brackets are $300 - $1,200 each pair, for front and back, why...? Because the 08 CJ Lancer ES/VR/VRX (possibly RA?) do not have brackets to hold 4 and 2 piston calipers like the Evo. Our calipers are floating 1 piston. Evo's are mounted.

Brake lines (braided) AUD$100 - $175 for good ones.

Full rear bars and braces (ULTRA RACING): AUD$1000+- for 4 to 5 bars
Custom welded braces and bars: AUD$significantly less. (I'm going for customs next year when I get more boost)

Installation costs...
To put it plainly, all the parts (or nearly, except for the gauges) are all just bolt on's. So, if you can change your oil and spark plugs (as Frank has told me... lol) you can definately install the kit yourself, just take it for a tune STRAIGHT after, and NOOOOOO boosting... I mean NOOOOO at all... ETA is 4 - 8 hours alone. Hop up parts will be extra time. (I'm not responsible if anyone... simply put...stuffs up ;) )

Evo X Hood $2,200

Installation average prices from various shops around Sydney: AUD$800 - $1800 (ETA 1 - 2 days)

Tuning for ECUTEK (currently ONLY MRT in Sydney, and I think one more in WA): $1,595 (ETA 1 - 3 days)

Tuning with OpenECU (MEEK Performance are the only ones I know of so far, that are willing): $300 - $700 (1 - 3 days)

I highly recommend OpenECU as you can self tune later.

the FMIC is included in the price of the "Base Turbo Kit" of USD$3,800.

This article was just a price list estimate of how much all the other bits and upgrades would cost you. I compiled
this price list from about 2 - 3 weeks of looking up the average market prices from retailers.

Ozie has just split the thread into 2, one for the actual kit, and one for additional parts and prices to make things
easier. If you want the full list of components of the XtremeBoost kit, look up:

http://clubcj.net/viewtopic.php?t=423&start=0

that has everything else you'll need. Cheers, and good luck.

+1 well said Joey.

it's true, lot's of folks think they can just pay USD$4K for the turbo kit and thats it... nothing more. hell, thats what I thought once... lol :lol:

I figured it'll save a few weeks of research time and phonecalls for anyone genuinely considering a kit. Not much, but just a short summary of what I've learnt, without having to go through it the hard way.

would that be more hp than the RAs.

also total costs would be around 7-10k to put turbo on a stock cj??
