F23A5 Turbo Build
- Thread starter akoutmos
- Start date
The kit cost around $3K but i would not suggest going with a turbo kit. Its best to piece your own kit together. The reason i bought the kit was because i just couldn't find a good turbo manifold.Deep respect for all the handiness you and your brothers possess haha.........I swear to take auto classes after securing a job after college
Aside the costly AEM EMS......How much did the turbo kit cost altogether??
I really liked how you did your oil catch can........I've been delaying doing this mod.........think I'm gonna have a trip to the general hardware store soon
Yea, this is def not something i want to go cheap on. If anything i might get a TIG welder (if i can get the cash) and make my own. Something like this: HereGood work!
OBX is the only company that makes one for the F23 but i wouldn't go with their product since OBX is pretty much a trial by fire sorta thing.
You could just look over on the forums and might find something or ebay or just have one made for you.
I was looking into swapping in an H22A, but i would rather stick with the F23. With that long stroke it'll make way more torque than an H22. And besides, the money spent on actually getting a new motor could be put into parts for the F23.

u only got 211 whp at 10psi? are you untuned or something?
The only change i would have done..is instead of put the turbotimer,or what ever you have on the dash..it fits perfectly inside the coin tray holder under all those switches.
but looks good besides that.

The turbo is a GT25, meaning it is really small (another bad part about the kit). If i had gotten a bigger turbo and was running 10psi i'd be makin more power. But the car has been fully tuned to answer your question. And the thing on the dash is the boost controller. I like it up there cause its convenient to switch between high and low boost settings (6psi and 10psi). And i like my coin tray

Also if you need a tubular manifold, I can make one to your specs, ram horn, top mount whatever.
