turbo26tsi

I have a krankvent kit I decided not to use on my setup. It just wasn't for me combined with the total seal rings. I will take 60$ obo. http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y169/turbo26tsi/CIMG0407.jpg

if your thinking about shipping it, it shouldn't be anything over $400. Still for sale, the last 2 interested parties never showed up to look at it.

sorry guys for not responding in an orderly fashion. Wally I sent you a pm. I have someone looking at it tomorrow. Will let you know the status. thanks, kevin

lowered the price from $1500 to $900. any takers? any interest in these times of recession!?!

Looks good man, I am in the same boat as you, my muchly anticipated project is been sitting for 3 years. Now I bought an evo x and i have been fabing parts for that and not the starion anymore. I remember your car back in 1999, that says something about my age. good luck!

i have a purple 88 manual, dynoed at 250hp 320tq motor. problem with electrical on car, runs until it warms up then won't start again. Its a quick setup with 18g turbo, isuzu npr intercooler, 2.5 intercooler piping, walbro fuel pump, race built head with ss valves, other supporting mods.Tranny has 90k, shifts good but not great. rust on body in normal neglect spots. Motor has 90k, 14k on mods, chassis has 110k. Looking to get around $900 total or parting it out.Just trying to get this out of the driveway!!!! Will start and run, but not driveable home. Located in Toledo, Ohio. thanks, kevin pm me with any questions. http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y169/turbo26tsi/sideangleconquest.jpg http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y169/turbo26tsi/enginebayconquest.jpg http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y169/turbo26tsi/interiorconquest.jpg http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y169/turbo26tsi/closeturboangle.jpg http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y169/turbo26tsi/backseat.jpg http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y169/turbo26tsi/conquestalmostfront.jpg

thanks guys, appreciate the help.

Anyone have a copper or multisteel exhaust manifold gasket? I haven't been able to source one out yet. thanks much, Kevin

I replaced the stock magna Fuel Pressure Regulator with a VW Bosch 3.5bar one, that fits perfect. Here is the link to the one i bought on ebay. This is of course for those not running the aftermarket adjustables. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...item=4649384613 later, Kevin

Rob, whats up man, glad to see your still active in the scene. These r-500's have everything you could ever need for tuning and more. We could have this happen as soon as 2 weeks, but I doubt we can have the interest and payments by then. Let me know what you guys want to do. thanks much, Kevin

not able to deal anymore. mods please delete!

I am in on this GP, looks great. We'll have to find these clutches and other parts for a discount. My brother works at Dana Driveshaft Division, so that may be a possibility. As for the clutches I will talk to some of my distributors and see what kind of deals we can get. peace, Kevin

I want in on this, I thought I was put on this list long ago when I was highly interested in doing this. I will definately be making in the 500hp range, and I would like to go with the t-56(which bell housing/ bolt pattern is up to you) Please keep me informed and let me know when payment is due and all that jazz. peace, Kevin

I am in for sure, just let me know when it goes through. thanks, Kevin

Rob, lookin good man, glad to see you finally decided on a turbo, very good choice I might add I tryed preaching to this crowd last year about these when they first came out. Soon everyone will be running the GT series. Amazing turbos period. Very anxious to see the results. I am still working on mine, hopefully I will have some numbers to post this season. Very similiar setup to mine: chads header, 38mm tial, cept I am runnin the gt37. I might get rid of the SDS this year and switch to that e6K, let me know how that works out. Good luck man, and keep in touch. Kevin

Come on, do you know what those are, those are japenese clear windshield washers. Try finding a pair of those here in the states. They have adjustable nozzles and better spray pattern then stock. Not to mention cut wires so I don't have to worry about lighting them up. A great performance upgrade ;D and I think they look better on there then the stockers. peace, Kevin

I just got my new custom S&M strut bars, and have to say I am really impressed with them. They were custom made to fit around my unique setup. It took shawn awhile to make them because of my setup, but were well worth it in the end. I used to run a greddy bar, which is not adjustable, Shawns bar is fully adjustable and tunable, which makes it a far superior setup, not to mention is a triangle design. What I mean by adjustable, is its able to have opposing force applied to it, to preload it and actually strengthen your strut towers. http://mysite.verizon.net/Bsfrederick/stru.../strut_bars.htm I included a few pics of what my setup looks like with the new strut bar. clears MPI too!!!! I will get some pics of the rear one up after I get it installed, weather is not exactly kind in feb in ohio. peace, Kevin

Car is sitting in the driveway under the cover weathering the harsh winter. It is still having ignition problems with how much it can be advanced. Also having low compression, earlier on, I have to do another test when it warms up. I have 600miles on it so far, and its using up oil still, engineer at total seal said the rings I have are harder material, so rings may take awhile to seat. Last issue is the Krankvent setup I have. I am not happy with it so far, seems to choking my motor up. I am going to remove that and see how it runs. thanks for the compliments, I have put alot into this and will get it fixed soon hopefully. here are some pics, recent engine shot: far view: Interior: the turbo: I am also working on this thing, been alot of work piecing it together from a parts car back into a working machine:

I talked with my friend who is a supra nut, and he told me the w58 can't hold nearly as much as the R154. The r154 is good reliably for 500hp. That is what I plan on making here soon and have been looking for some tranny alternative for awhile now. By just switching to this tranny our top end will be somewhere near 170MPH. If a GP starts up I will be the first to jump on it. thanks and take care, Kevin

PAID in FULL check

I 2nd that, whats the deal? I am growing concerned about when we will actually recieve the shifters.

a little late to respond, but I just did the fronts on my starion with tokicos. Well those idiots didn't design them right for our car of course. What you need to do is take the spacer off and reuse your stock gland nut and thats it, it goes together perfect, and tight, no spaces. Don't use the gland nuts they supply. To get the spacer off just hammer it until it comes off. Its ashame the directions don't tell you this. good luck to all with their tokicos, Kevin

pickup some aftermarket blow off valves, they are usually alot cheaper over there. I need an HKS SSQV. peace. Kevin

my engine bay sucks....for performance anyhow, right now I am having some major electrical problems, wish I had a clue what it is. The saga continues.... Here some pics for anyone that hasn't seen it yet, Older pic in daylight heres a more recent pic, but its at night, low light Good front angle shot I am still interested in these posters regardless of whos car you use. peace, Kevin
