RRM turbo install

RRM turbo install
To anyone that might be scared... You can do it. Mitsubishi_03 came down to my place this Saturday and we got his Intercooled kit hooked up. Don't pay a bunch of $$$ to get it installed. Do it your-self it's easy. It's time consuming, but it's easy as hell. If you don't feel comfy with the oil pan, get it done, but do the rest your-self. It's only a matter of hooking up a few pipes and splicing a few wires.
If you can connect your garden hose to the faucet, you can install the RRM kit.

And the wires that need to be splice are the ones for the rad fans. Looking at the engine from the front, the fan on the left hand side has to be cutoff to give some room to the turbo assembly. Which is why you need a slim fan to put in front of the rad to push air inside the engine bay. So because you're removing a stock fan and putting an aftermarket one, you got cut the wires from the stocker and hook them up to the aftermarket fan.

Okay since youve been through this, I guess it
would be smart for me to talk to you before deciding
how to get my turbo installed:
First of all:
-I have little to no experience under the hood
-I know basic electric stuff(splicing wires you say?)
Now a few questions:
-I was wondering if the kit came with installation instructions?
-If so, do you think even with someone of my intelligence with
my uncle who has no knowledge of turbochargers or superchargers
persay, but has knowledge of engines, and pff carbeurators (older cars)
along my side... that we would be able to perform the installation if we
just took our time and followed the instructions?

well the instructions arent super specific. im sure if you understand the basic concept of how air flows it shouldnt be too hard. just take some pics before you start the car up to see if everything is on right.
theres also a little guess work on the intercooler piping, but its no big deal.

Well, I might start out with the non i/c kit, and then save the extra grand for it... money is an issue here otherwise I would just pay somebody. And I know basic **** under the hood like how to install an intake and ****, but nothing advanced.

Installing a turbo kit ain't hard... Espescially if you go RRM. They do provide instructions, but most of the work is plain common sens. Only part you might want to get done by somebody else is the oil pan.
Have you ever done basic plumbing?
Yes?
Then you can install a turbo kit... cause it's pretty much only that... A bunch of pipes that connects to an engine instead of a water supply.
You might not be able to DESIGN a kit, but installing something that's been proven to be plug and play is easy. Time comsuming, but easy.

I have had bad experience with RRM sending missing/wrong parts with RRM turbo so you might want to have them carefully check the parts before they send it to you, otherwise you'll be paying extra sending it back and forth, etc. Otherwise, I don't think its hard. You can ask Boe for any questions you might have, he's pretty much the guru. Great guy for the lancer community
