What You Need? To Turbo Your CJ by: Phoenix
List of Everything you require for Turbo Modifications for your CJ Lancer...

FROM XTREME BOOST

Base Turbo Kit: USD$3,800
Evo X Custom Aluminum Exhaust (same upgrade model for X, and same for Turbo Lancer): USD$1,150
Forged Internal Upgrades: USD$1,225
Polished Piping: AUD$500
Ceramic coated manifold: USD$150

ELECTRONICS (Prices are for Defi, generally the most expensive but MOST accurate. They go black when you shut off the engine)
Turbo Boost Gauge, Oil Pressure, Fuel Pressure, Exhaust Temp, Intake Manifold Pressure Gauge: AUD$240 - $300 each

Control Unit: AUD$120
Greddy Profec B Spec II Boost Controller AUD$500
Greddy Turbo Timer: AUD$125

*note: you can opt for $25 gauges as well, but that would be at your own risk of course

BRAKES & HANDLING:

Toyo R888 Proxes: AUD$1400 fitted for 225/235 40/18" (Ozie... give them some LOVE!)
D2 Racing 6 Pot Front OR Rear (each): AUD$1,300 - $1,400

OR... alternative for a brake kit

Endless SSS Front Pads: AUD$275 (Used to be RRP $240, but exchange rates made them rise)
Endless SSS Rear Pads: AUD$275 (Used to be RRP $240, but exchange rates made them rise)
BREMBO (custom) Cross Drilled Rotors: AUD$295 each pair + custom fitting fees

If you want to get a brake kit, like a BREMBO or D2, custom brackets are $300 - $1,200 each pair, for front and back, why...? Because the 08 CJ Lancer ES/VR/VRX (possibly RA?) do not have brackets to hold 4 and 2 piston calipers like the Evo. Our calipers are floating 1 piston. Evo's are mounted.

Brake lines (braided) AUD$100 - $175 for good ones.

Full rear bars and braces (ULTRA RACING): AUD$1000+- for 4 to 5 bars
Custom welded braces and bars: AUD$significantly less. (I'm going for customs next year when I get more boost)

Installation costs...
To put it plainly, all the parts (or nearly, except for the gauges) are all just bolt on's. So, if you can change your oil and spark plugs (as Frank has told me... lol) you can definately install the kit yourself, just take it for a tune STRAIGHT after, and NOOOOOO boosting... I mean NOOOOO at all... ETA is 4 - 8 hours alone. Hop up parts will be extra time. (I'm not responsible if anyone... simply put...stuffs up )

Evo X Hood $2,200

Installation average prices from various shops around Sydney: AUD$800 - $1800 (ETA 1 - 2 days)

Tuning for ECUTEK (currently ONLY MRT in Sydney, and I think one more in WA): $1,595 (ETA 1 - 3 days)

Tuning with OpenECU (MEEK Performance are the only ones I know of so far, that are willing): $300 - $700 (1 - 3 days)

I highly recommend OpenECU as you can self tune later.

Once again i would like to thank Phoenix for this Awesome write up...

This topic was taken from the the Post:
"XtremeBoost Garrett Turbo Kit for CJ 4B11 and 4B12", by Phoenix
http://clubcj.net/viewtopic.php?p=6074#6074

so what kind of kw output can be expected after the mod and has anyone had the oppertunity to try it out yet cos im keen for some boost. lol

225 - 230whp. stock standard internals. only running at 5 - 6 PSI.

on the screen that looks like a lot lol... i dont suppose you would happen to know how much a front mount would cost for my cj

frount mount what? FMIC?

intercooler.... and is there a bolt on option for the lancer

ok.... and why would you need an FMIC without a turbo...? :-/

ok lets start again.... im interested in getting a turbo and you didnt have any kind of prices or anything about an intercooler so i wasnt sure if they was available for the cj yet... you wit me???

the FMIC is included in the price of the "Base Turbo Kit" of USD$3,800.

This article was just a price list estimate of how much all the other bits and upgrades would cost you. I compiled
this price list from about 2 - 3 weeks of looking up the average market prices from retailers.

Ozie has just split the thread into 2, one for the actual kit, and one for additional parts and prices to make things
easier. If you want the full list of components of the XtremeBoost kit, look up:

http://clubcj.net/viewtopic.php?t=423&start=0

that has everything else you'll need. Cheers, and good luck.

ok no worries i was just reading that xtreme boost post... seems like i was jus asking all the same questions you had already answered... looks like you have really put the effort into your research... thanks heaps for your help champ

^ lol.. no probs. hit us up if you need any more info! or, when you're ready to get a kit, we can get one in for you.

Great info...Alot of guys who want turbo dont even know all of that. Takes alot of money to have your car running the right way.

+1 well said Joey.

it's true, lot's of folks think they can just pay USD$4K for the turbo kit and thats it... nothing more. hell, thats what I thought once... lol

I figured it'll save a few weeks of research time and phonecalls for anyone genuinely considering a kit. Not much, but just a short summary of what I've learnt, without having to go through it the hard way.

all this info is awesome guys,
very well done.
it will help heaps of people out.

would that be more hp than the RAs.

also total costs would be around 7-10k to put turbo on a stock cj??
