UPDATED PRICES: Phoenix Tuning Stage I Turbo Kit, For '94-'99 Celicas Options

[Dr_Tweak]

Price change: Stage I kit is now $2400 and the Stage II (which replaces the FMU with Greddy eManage) will be $2700. It looks right now that all '96 and newer (OBDII) Celicas may need the Stage II for ignition timing control. We will see.

Hey all,

This is a copy of my post over on vvt-i.net. I'm putting a turbo kit together in the upcoming months for the '93-'97 Corolla. Since the kit includes the 7AFE, I will be extending the kit to the Celica community. Eventually I will also offer a kit for the 5th generation Celica.

The only obstacle I will have to overcome after putting the kits together is getting the intercooler piping squared away, which is just a matter of having a 6th gen Celica at my shop to prototype on.

I'm posting here to check for interest and suggestions. Here's the post:

The Phoenix Tuning Stage I Turbo Kit will include the following:

Garrett T3 Turbo Super 60 compressor, .48 turbine
12:1 FMU (Vortech most likely)
TurboXS Boost Controller
Phoenix Tuning Turbo Manifold (you must send me your old manifold as a core)
Spearco intercooler
TurboXS BOV
Intercooler piping (that will actually fit)
Water and oil lines
Downpipe
Walbro 255lph fuel pump
Oil pan with turbo oil return connection (you must send me your old oil pan as a core)
Boost guage

I'm pretty sure that's it. It should be a pretty complete kit, if there's anything that you see missing then holler.

Several upgrade items will be available, such as guages and whatnot.

The price of the kit will be $2400 shipped. The kit will be good for 7-8 psi and will be a bolt-on kit, meaning you should be able to install it in a day with hand tools. I will provide full instructions. This is a tried and true setup that two friends of mine have been running for many many miles with good success. It makes around 160/170 hp. Premium fuel will be required.

I'm picking up a Corolla to build the prototype on, and then I'll start producing these. It will be a little bit but I'm hoping to have the first kits ready to go for early fall.

If anyone wants to make a deposit for dibs on the first kits, that will help me get them developed faster and out the door.

It's not just me, it's us. Why did they need to be adjusted, and what changes did you make?

Also I refuse to market a kit that's not intercooled. I will be breaking the kits up into three different ones though, which I'll go into more detail about tonight.
