- How much does it cost to turbo a car? In this video we go over just that! I go over the complete build costs for my turbo build on my Mazda MX5 Miata. I also give an expected budget for each part needed to turbo your own car, as well as some suggestions on how to do it reliably on a budget. I go over my thoughts on turbo kits, as well as my thoughts on how to make cheaper, ebay and Amazon parts work together, to keep pricing down. Enjoy, and check out my build spreadsheet below!

I love finding smaller channels! Keeps me motivated to keep going with mine. Love the content man keep it coming!
Gl with it my man
Other things that I would recommend, fuel pump and fuel filter.
Agreed, absolutely on the filter, pump is necessary if you're going for a bigger power build
I spent a total of $2500 for my 1.6 turbo setup with the 1.8 rear end and poly bushings ,its ebay but its very nice lots of extra stuff like boost gauges ,and oil temp sensor.
standalone?
@@aaronlimbat9546 yes running the same as cash ,a speedy efi
Awesome, which oil temp sensor did you go with? And what ratio did you end up with for your diff? I'm interested!
@@CashedOutCars I got a glowshift oil filter sandwich plate and a glowshift oil temp gauge that come with a senor. I know the name is a bit weird but it's a pretty good brand ,and product. For the 1.8 i ended up with a 3.9 open rear end.
It is an honor to watch this video!
What do you think this about getting a Garrett turbo? Overpriced?
While I haven’t used one, buying a name brand turbo should get you better reliability and performance, as well as data to help you properly size a turbo for your car! If I weren’t working on a tight budget I’d have bought a better turbo. That said, ebay turbos do the same thing and have been generally proven quite reliable, theyre just a bit more of a mystery with technical data
awesome video bro! im so deep on my turbo NA... yeeeeet
Thanks man! What setup are you running on yours?
I trust uknow what your doing so can u turbo my 2002 mitsubishi galant gls 4g63 2 liter on a budget like that thanks
"Top of the line, lines" Very funny
i thought it would cost 5 digits so i'm actually surprised
Great video brother
Much appreciated my man!
@@CashedOutCars no problem keep up the great work
@@CashedOutCars would you mind helping out with my turbo kit on my future car miata
Wheres a good place to find out how to tune? I turboed a 1990 na and it costs me considerably more than what you paid. The tune alone cost me $650. I'm going to make some changes to my setup, but the tuner costs way to much. Ty. For any help.
Awesome car btw.
RUclips! I'd highly recommend HP Academy for general videos and DCWerx for Speeduino stuff
@@CashedOutCars awesome ty.
Make video about fueling and spark map tunes
Tuning content will be on the way, I don't think you'll be disappointed. Stay tuned!
Sick 🤙🤙🤙
🤙🤙🤙
My son is wanting to turbo his ‘04 Infiniti g35. As a mom, I’m so confused & thinking this is going to cost a ton. Need help!
TunerStudio? How much does it cost?
Free! There is a paid version with slightly more features, but the basic software with all you’d need to get started is free
Hey weird question, were you on u conns formula sae team?
Hahahah yes I was! Were you on a team as well?
@@CashedOutCars I'm thinking of going there next year, would totally join, I saw you in a video and recognized you and your car lol
That’s hilarious! That team was my favorite part about college. Even though I graduated I still help out when I can, I’d probably see you around at some point😂best of luck with whatever you chose!
Honestly, I believe you coulda turbo'd your car for $600-$700 instead of $1000 like you said.....the one that takes the biggest chuck has to be the ECU. Get a bipes ACU and call it a day LOLLLLL.
Honestly my supercharger Mp62 build was only $2000....im only 20 and i hand built the whole supercharger kit. Brackets, pulley, piping. The one that took the biggest chuck out of my supercharger budget has to be the ECU. Megasquirt for NB. Sometimes i wished i went with a bipes ACU....just retard the ignition timing by 1-2 degree and call it a day......
The ECU certainly is my biggest expense but it's the most important piece in my opinion to build a reliable car that you can get the most out of
@@WorstPaperCut can you even find Bipes ACU anymore though?
@@derrickcox5930 yeah its called buy an NA miata that has a CAS and manual retard the timing LOL.
@@WorstPaperCut wym by CAS? Cam angle sensor?
How much would it cost to have an auto shop to install it all for you ?
It certainly wouldn't be particularly cheap then, since a lot of this was custom parts. Hard to give an estimate for that reason. If you bought a complete, bolt on kit, they'd charge quite a bit less
The fuel pump is going to be fire once you
Throw that on!
How reliable is it tho?
He's been driving it for a year ,and the only problem I remember is a bad ecu power supply ,but it's fixed now.
So far the only problem was an ECU issue that was due to a manufacturing error, other than that, trouble free!
I got pretty lucky, I got used ebay 1.8 kit with turbo, mani, bov, intercooler kit, oil lines, boost gauge, AEM wideband o2, and a Megasquirt PNP2 for only $700. Spent another $170 on a smaller less laggy china turbo, and $200 on an XTD clutch kit so besides the little stuff I got my turbo setup for just over $1000
the kit came with a megasquirt? was it like a kit someone took off their car?
@@aaronlimbat9546 Yeah they wrecked it so they parted the car out, altho the MS2 wasn't for the right year car so I had to repin my ecu harness
@@dumbfishtanks small price to pay for a cheap pnp2. nice find i’ll have to look out for those deals.
Wow yeah that is a great deal, nice find! How do you like that clutch?
@@CashedOutCars So far it's pretty good! It's the stage 2 so it feels like OEM but a tiny bit heavier. No chatter or noise from what I can tell, but I have a hood dump so it's hard to hear any noises over the exhaust
What are the horsepower and torque numbers
I haven’t checked it at the end of last season, numbers aren’t as important to me as how it drives! It’s getting a fresh tune this season and I’ll make a video on what it makes then!
@@CashedOutCars I understand what you're saying however that is it the best way to gauge how much you gained for your thousand dollars and how it Stacks up in comparison to like the kits as most small kits with ECU and injectors like the CXRacing T28 will produce 200 to 250 horsepower on a 1.6 and even bigger numbers with the T3 T4 Turbo on a 1.8 basically it's very cool you were able to do it for $1,000 however if the results are not the same as the kits or close to the same it's worth spending the extra money as I did the budget route myself but bought a kit and then sourced like injectors and a megasquirt also a 255 fuel pump and got to 220 wheel horsepower and 185 foot pounds of torque to the wheels and as I race my car waiting to get on the dyno was not an option As I push my car to the limits twice a month 9 months out of the year so I'm just curious on how it Stacks up against the other stuff
Once it’s retuned I’ll make a video on it, it should easily make around what a CX / MK turbo kit makes, they use inexpensive turbos as well. My goal with this build isn’t peak power, it’s reliability. To me I’d rather have something that starts every time and reliably produces 180-200 whp or so than push the turbo and start to push the internals. At that point it’s no longer budget if you’re making enough power to blow transmissions and engines😂Stay tuned for power figures, should be out in a month or so!
Mine is a very similar build to the Tom’s Turbo Garage build, he used the same manifold, very similar eBay turbo (even though they’re hard to tell if they’re exact since it’s eBay) and a similar pieced together setup, if you haven’t checked his out I’d take a look! His engine management is totally different and he did end up with an external wastegate, but this is before ECUs like SpeedyEFIs were around miata.turbomirage.com
@@CashedOutCars I will be looking for the numbers and as your reliability comment my car starts every time runs great drive it on the street regularly 80 miles to and from work and like I said I race it twice a month I would have to say that is extremely reliable on a completely stock engine stock transmission and stock rear end with an upgraded clutch from eBay so I guess I don't really understand or get where you are implying that the way you did it will be much more reliable then going with a premade kit I understand you saved money but I don't see where there's going to be extra reliability I'm not hating on you on in any way I just want to see if it's Apples to Apples or apples to oranges
Would you say it's worth your money?
On a Miata, I still am happy I did my suspension work first but the turbo certainly changed the car, it’s a blast now straight line and curves! I’m happy with it and for the money I spent it made a huge change
The manifold now its 200$ :(
Yes it unfortunately is, at least it's in stock now though. before they were cheap but rarely available. I'd say it's still a good value for the money
