This thread is so i and others can see the estimated total price of installing the Turbo Specialties turbo kit and getting the Whp i'm looking for. What this means is i need to swap out the turbo for a better(larger) one. I could be clueless but i think these are the items i need to buy...My goal is 350Whp. I'll update this post if i get responses on what to or not to use.


Turbo Kit: $3000
New Turbo: Again i don't know which one to get...Suggestions? Maybe a GT2876R or a disco potato? Again i only want 350whp. Estimate is $1100 - the lil t28 which i would sell on ebay...hopefully for $700+.
Walbro 255 Fuel Pump: $100
New 300zx Fuel Filter: $20
Fuel Tank Sock(figure i might as well replace it while i'm in there):$???
Custom Charge Pipe and bung in my oil pan and exhaust attached:$500-$600(estimated)
Hayden 504 Tranny Cooler:$50 (I was thinking of one with a fan but the start at $150 and might have fitment issues)
Hayden Oil Cooler:$100
OEM Header Gaskets:$40
Braided Lines and fittings for oil line: $50
Injectors: I don't know Which ones i'll need...thoughts? I'm guessing $400-$500
Greddy Emanage: $600
Wideband 02: $300

Total:$5500+


Over a 1/3 the price of my car i might add. sucks. AND i know i'll run into more problems when i install it...

Anything I forgot or should change?
Thanks in advance for the help guys...

go to turbokits.com. they have a kit for the 3.5 altima which is the same. you prolly can save some money parting the kit together BUT this is not a task you should take on alone. that site lists everything that comes with their kit. im actually putting together my kit also but im not the one who has 5-6k to spend on a kit SO if you have that money, buy a kit...

That turbo would be a very poor choice, a t25/28 is a very very small turbo, wheelspin is not fun and is very irratating. If you want something responsive get a gt35r, if your not looking to spend a bunch of money a 57 or 60trim turbo is fairly cheap. Also look to spend more money on your feed, charge and downpipe, unless you just want it all mig'd together. And if that is the case find someone local in your area that has a mig and will do it for cheap. If your looking for some stainless and aluminum welding your estimated price could increase another $200.00 easily.

3076 is what I'd get. 2876 is too small to get you that kind of HP on a 3.5... you'd be really flirting with the edge of the map meaning creating a lot of unnecessary heat and hampering your ability to make power, perhaps endangering your engine from super hot intake temps. 3076R would be awesome. that turbo is so badass. it's got such a broad map it's ridiculous - it has the flow to produce like 400whp on a 3.5 at around 10psi - maybe 450 with a really good tune (again you'd be flirting with the edge at this point though) and yet the thing is so small it'll spool like crazy. I'd probably get the 1.06 A/R housing rather than the .82. you'd have to make sure you get the 5 bolt flange though, for it to work with this kit without modifying the entire wastegate setup.

You would need to upgrade your torque converter and valve body so you won't blow up your tranny.
