Re: looking for cheap b series turbo kit no ebay
Good and cheap don't go together unless you're buying used. My turbo alone was more than the price of a complete ebay turbo kit.
You're going to have to piece this thing out and buy parts individually if you want to save money. I pieced mine together for fairly cheap with the exception of a $1500 turbocharger and $700 intercooler.

the edlebrock kit is also bolt on... you can also look into using the oem turbo from an sr20. its a garrett t25. some say its no good and others say its fine. make your own opinion. the turbo itself can be had for mega cheap (under 200) and all the supporting pieces can be had inexpensively as well. using an oem turbo you can be boosted for under 1100.

Re: looking for cheap b series turbo kit no ebay
Yea I'm disappointed too. IMO it was the most well designed and executed turbo "kit" the Honda world has ever seen. Not to mention the high quality parts like the Edelbrock victor or performance x intake manifold, TiAL blow off valve, Garrett intercooler, perfectly designed manifold and turbo elbow, and perfectly sized street turbo. One thing of note is how well their cast manifold flows.
If you look at the Greddy manifold you'll notice where runners 2&3 cross over 1&4 that the port size drops to under 1/2 inch causing a serious restriction and tons of backpressure. You can port them like I'm doing mine and it helps but you're limited in how much material you remove so it gets better but it's far from perfect. You used to be able to find companies that had just the manifolds in old stock (very affordably I might add) but now I can't locate the part number at all. If I find one I'm buying with without a second thought. Maybe use it on a stock b16 response setup.
OP if you're looking for an affordable setup that's sub 375hp with amazing response and a broad powerband then look into replicating the Edelbrock kit. You don't necessarily need to run a cast manifold, they make tubular manifolds with a t25 flange. However follow everything else. The turbo is the perfect stock block street turbo, the intercooler is the perfect size, the piping as well, etc.
Other than the turbo and intercooler size the rest is up to you. Just make sure you use quality parts for the rest. The turbo choice is really the most crucial selection. As far as engine/fuel management, a chipped p28 running Neptune, Walbro 255, dsm 450s or evo 550s, one step colder plugs, 2.5 or 3bar map sensor, etc and you've got a solid running reliable street car.
If you can locate used parts in good shape you could easily come in under 2500 excluding a tune and upgraded clutch. Cheap, turbo, and Honda rarely work together in the same sentence
