What is the kit vs installed price for a 96 LC? I am in Nor Cal but I can bring it down no problem!

Thanks
 
Prices dramatically vary depending on name brands, sizes, and what accessories are desired. DIY can start at just over $1500 while a full installed version will be just under 3k. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks
 
Ain't nobody got time for that.
Been super busy, but the truck is still running great with no issues. Got another '96 so going to be selling this truck probably this summer. I am still willing to do complete installs but don't have time to put kit's together.

Hey Victor, just Google 2KRacing for store info and ask for John.
 
Not a single CEL. I'm honestly suprised, I did not think that this setup was going to work this well for the time it has. It's currently boosting just under 10psi. Took it camping last weekend at a local lake with family.

I noticed you put a boost blow-off valve to atmosphere up in front under the hood.
Could you comment on the pros and cons of that vs in the back just after the compressor, routed to the compressor intake, or maybe even both places?

Thanks.
 
You usually would like to install a BOV closest to the throttle body / intake manifold. In some cars re-circulation back into the intake is best, however in some applications won't cause any negative response.

neat system, what did you use for fuel management?

iirc, he's using stock because of the low boost

as long as you're not making more power than the TRD supercharger, you don't need aftermarket fuel management
 
That's probably the best part of this system, fuel delivery is all stock. Been running great with no CEL's for over 3 years now.

now you just need to make a DIY kit we can all buy
 
I have been driving my other 80 now for a couple months and just yesterday got back behind the turbo again since the other is torn down for some new parts. The turbo 80 drives really light and accelerates on tap like I have no armor or 35's even with stock gears. I really need to get started on my new 80 turbo setup.
 
Oh i see, did you ever end up routing your air intake up to the stock location? have you put it on a dyno? interesting keeping the stock fueling, how much boost did this build?

will it be a similar remote turbo system utilizing the stock fuel delivery?
