I was looking at the quality of the ZPI intercooler and it looks like that it's from Ebay and looks low quality.

What are the good intercoolers and BOVs to go with a 07 ZPI stage0 basic setup with Emanage ultimate or Blitz SBC-i?

Oh BTW, what equipment(s) do I need to control boost and fuel pressure?

Thanks.

How come nobody answers my threads???

I don't know which FMICs will fit the tiny bumper of the tC.

Many will fit. Making the intercooler piping fit will be the hard part.

I can't answer for anyone else, but for me, I think you ask too many stupid questions and you never search before you ask those stupid questions... IMHO.

I agree with dyltone. Plus, it was only an hour after you posted.

I think you and me are starting to agree more about things around here AJ, :rofl:

forpinks, jsut trade the tC in. your obviously not ready to takle a project as big as a turbo kit.

I can easily install the turbo assembly for a few hours the hard parts are: Which kit to get, what intercooler is most efficient, taking out the oil pan, and bumping your head while installing the Emanage...

I just need a tip or some info on a good intercooler brand and if there's a good FMIC included in the kit, please give some info.

Well, after reading those zpi threads, that kit is no longer an optoin! If you actually read other threads instead of just posting new ones, you might know that.
And ALL other kits for the tC come with intercoolers, so this thread is now pointless.

I know ZPI doesn't answer their phones anymore and also, they don't ship their IC too...


I'm thinking of getting that because I feel like going from 210WHP going up to 300WHP before upgrading internals.

They won't be selling turbo kits either. the piping for a specific IC will only work for a specific kit.
Why would you order an IC from one company and a kit from another when all the other kits come with IC?

obviously you never have installed a turbo, it ALWAYS takes more than a few hours.....choosing the kit is the easiest part...the oil pan is not hard if you have done one....the people who know me, know that i can get the oil pan off in less than 10 min, including the bolts, and getting the gasket off.....installing the emanage, get a pNp harness, as it seems like you'd mess up the wiring.....as i recall you have posted so many questions about turbos, and all the components...i'd be surprised if you knew what all the parts did/functions were....like wastegate, etc.....well i guess good luck, and dont kill yourself....

hey man im trying not to be one of the guys flaming on you, but you know they are right.. Try to think before you post, some people wont respect you or see you credible because of the way you post.. Yes you can ask questions or suggestions but a lot of them are already answered by the threads you are following.. And trying to learn on things takes a lot more than just asking on a forum so very small details that you ask can be annoyance to others.. im not trying to lecture you but just answering your question above^^ as well as try to help you out.

And yea your question about the FMIC has just been answered above, its the piping that makes it hard to fit not the IC itself.

^^^^ I want to get a kit under $4500 and an RVIT monitor (or SBC-i) from Blitz... But, I feel like going to 300WHP slowly so I considered the stage-0...

But to think of ZPI sucking badly, makes me want to go to Dezod and WHY Ind.

BTW: Have you installed the WHY Stage1 yet meaty? LET US SEE PICS!


I have a turbo book (Maximum Boost), but it is somewhat out of date from 1997 and it doesn't really tell you much about modern computer tuning, solenoids, BOVs, fuel injectors, and even the topical N2O spray.

I had someone install a turbo before in the Philippines for a 1.3L carb and they custom made everything for 2 and a half days using a 750CC motorcycle turbo, they had a problem on finding some sort of manual boost controller... (I was 17 so I don't know.)

I was gonna post tonight, but I've been reading those zpi threads for the last couple hours! :lol:

theres no more zpi as of right now buddy.. so give up on that stage 0... you can get a good 240whp out of any kit if you keep the psi down.. and seriously bro.. i dont think youve ever searched anything most of these questions are answered by common sense or reading some stickies or new post dude.. youve asked about every single part of a kit when a standard stage 1 kit from any company comes with everything already.. get a supercharger so you have less variables to deal with and youll be around 205-210whp outta the box if you have an 07.. and that ever illusive warranty you wanted about 4 threads back..

I have a used SBC iColor for sale, make me an offer, it was only in use for 1500 miles (about 6 weeks) :( I'm not using it any longer.

I also have a CM Stage III clutch, brand new in the box for sale that you'll need eventually.
