Pre-Order your Aveo Stage 1 Turbo Kit Today!

Well we are ready for testing, and we are now ready to begin pre-orders for this kit to be able to get the final funding to get the remaining needed parts for testing. For those interested, this kit will include:

Stage 1 - $450 (supply your own IHI turbo and factory header):
* Intake
* Turbo Adapter for use with Stock Header
* Hot Pipe
* Down Pipe
* Silicon Couplers
* Oil Lines
* Walbro 190 Fuel Pump
* Piggy Back AFM

With this kit, we are using an IHI Brand Turbo found commonly on the 1988-1992 Ford Probe GT 2.2L Motor. These can be found at just about any junkyard for under $50. Aside from the turbo, we are including everything needed to install this kit to your Aveo with minimal skill required.

Upgrades to this kit will be available in the near future, but this will be the perfect kit for those looking to boost no more than 5 psi, and a great sleeper kit since there is no Blow Off Valve or Intercooler to show off. Let those unexpected rice cry in mercy as you blow past them.

Future Upgrades will include:
- Front Mount Intercooler
- Blow Off Valve Inclusion

And of course, if you later decide to upgrade to the Stage 2 or Stage 3 kits, we will offer you an upgrade package, which is 15% off retail costs after your intitial purchase of the stage 1.

This kit may require professional tuning of the Air/Fuel Controller if you are not an experience Tuner.

If you are ready to pay now, we can accept payment via Credit Card, PayPal, or Check/Money Order. While we would like full payment, we realize that not many people will pay full price for a kit when there is no testing done, we are are offering the ability to pay a down payment of $50 (non-refundable but used toward your total when finished) to ensure that you will purchase when the kit becomes available in the next week or two.

If anyone is willing to come to Tulsa, OK and meet with me for an install and testing, I will offer you the kit for free if you can source your own turbo (doubt Dan would let me just give his away).

Any questions?

i will not be geting one becouse im broke for the next 3 years with school, but you are my hero for doing this

hmmm im pretty set on N/A but i do have a couple ihi turbos and i work part time at a speed shop so the tuning and the tools ar available but i would like some more details about the parts ie: walbro - and what kind of piggyback are you using?

for some reason i can't edit my post, anyways i want to see pics and gains, and then i will skip fast food for a month or 2 and get that kit

I was interested and would totally make a preorder until I went to a custom turbo shop I found, I went there to check out what they have done for other people, and what they can do for me and I was satisfied with it.

I was initially interested in your offer because of the price, but then I realized that perhaps the price would be a very low priority for me when it came to making a turbo system for my car.

However depending on how well your project goes (like with install pics/performance specs) I might still be interested.

are you sending a tune with it or just the tuning program?

For this one it will just be the means to tune. When I get to messing with it on MikeDudley's car (if he can make it down or unless I find someone else first), I will see if I can save the program, and if so I can send the program with the kits.

Pics will be available this weekend once I get the adapter, turbo, and manifold back. Right you would just see a block on an engine stand heh.

g0ast - As stated before, the price is so low to reflect the entry level to boost. Once this kit is sold and interest is seen, I will start on the Stage 2 kit, which includes an actual manifold, T3 turbo, fuel upgrades, and everything you would need to run a good amount of boost without having to rebuild the bottom end. And for those that get GSE_Turbo's pistons and Headgaskets, I will have a kit for that set-up as well...

The more of these I sell, the more money the wifey will let me invest on designing further upgrades... She is making me stick to one major upgrade at a time...

I wish you had a Subaru WRD td04l turbo option since they are new and cheap and super easy to upgrade. Old Probe/MX6 turbos will need rebuilds soon.

I'm really looking forward to pics from this, I also appreciate the work you are putting into this.

get me a picture of the turbo flange and I'll see what I can do...

i know the feeling, but it does keep me in check cus otherwise id be even more broke than i am already.

oh well...

i am sort of sourcin all my own major parts but the piping and such i will need.

also thinkin i may invest in some springs and struts while im doin this project. wanna get that sway bar and lets see what we can do about some mounts as soon as i can get that money together-nuther 2 weeks at the most i hope.

right now i must return to my word program and work out some budgeting issues so i know what i can and cant do.

Someone sells a swaybar for this car? Swaybars are the ones that bolt up to the bottom of the car AKA anti roll bars.

Do you think that the turbo will bolt up the the stock header without any support or brace and not break on the weight of the turbo?

oh damn :oops:

how much longer after this comes out that a kit with intercooler is available?

i dont feel comfortable running a turbo without an intercooler.

this kit is only designed to run 5psi, which will not require an intercooler... many cars out there run more psi than this and have no problems.

However, once I gauge interest, and get some sales with this, the Stage 2 will begin...

If you are interested, I could keep this same setup but use include an intercooler and modified piping for another $250...

I will figure that out while it's on the stand as soon as I get everything back from the shop, hopefully this weekend, and Steve gets the head to me. If it requires a brace it will be included...

As far as a sway bar, one is in the works, but not available yet... Kinky has a strut brace available, but to my knowledge there is no aftermarket sway bar available yet...

That brace is the biggest thing I was worried about. Also, will the turbo be before the 1st O2 sensor of after?

Hmmmm. Im wanting to push about 7-10psi so i know im going to need an intercooler.....how long would that price be good for? i have to do my taxes soon and it can either go to this or to the pistons. possibly both if i get enough back.

at what levels do we need to upgrade the injector sizes too?

Does anyone know what % duty cycle the current injectors are running? The post in the Fuel System says they are 200cc, but how much of that are they using?

Will see how the tuneability is with Stage 1, but I guarantee that Stage 2 will require them...

are you thinking 450cc?? or what should be the next size up...my initial goals are around 160-180whp. Does the optra have injectors availbe for them since they are the same injectors.

haven't seen anything...

however, a google search got me to this:

http://www.suzuki-forums.com/image-vide ... nally.html

it's the post from the guy with the 7psi Optra... he has 32 lb. injectors so they must be available...

32 lb. might be the stock 5.3L Chevy injectors though...

to daewootech we go!!! haha
cuz i know ill probably be pushing too much at 7-10psi for the stock injectors.

This is exactly why I logged on here today... Sway bar, and Turbo. In my opinion, the Aveo community NEEDS this addition. Thanks for giving this project a reality. I'd also like to see Poly-urethane bushings, for everything.

once we can source a project car, poly bushings will become a reality...
