I'm really at a crossroads right now as far as modding my engine and I did some thinking with my friends today. By saving the money I would spend on expensive intakes and manifolds, I would actually have enough to turbo my car.

I have been looking into different kits and I've began to be fond of the Lovefab manifold and the various Precision turbos. I feel like for the amount of boost I want to run that a larger turbo and equal length manifold will make more power until I can afford an engine build.

There are some deals running on the RevHard kits where I can drop $3250 and get a Stage 2 Revhard kit with Hondata S200B, 440 or 550 Rc's, and boost gauge. I would rather piece together my own kit, but which would be better for the money I have?

If anyone thinks that I should piece together my own kit, make suggestions on parts and things. The engine is a stock internal b20/vtec with the exception of ARP rod bolts, head studs and a Golden Eagle headgasket. I don't even plan on running anything more than 10 psi, but I would like to make some power when doing it.

So, any help at all would be greatly appreciated. I don't want to blow anything up haha. Thanks guys.

Piece it together, or PM FullRace Henry, they will deff. hook you up.

Piece it together. YOU GET WHAT YOU WANT INSTEAD OF WHAT THEY GIVE YOU IN A TURBO KIT SYSTEM. Plus, for just the same amount of money... you can actually get a larger turbine, bigger FMIC, a nicer wastegate, and still have enough left for other components.

Full-Race kit. Their IC setup is freaking awsome you only have to run 2 charge pipes because of the back door intercooler.

the full race kits are like your favorite pieced together kits lol...they are the ****. but dont buy a greddy or the like kind of kit....piece it.

But is it even possible to get a Full Race kit for 3800 dollars? Last time I checked, those kits were like... 4k+. I guess I will have to check the website.

Thanks for the suggestions so far guys, keep them coming. I need all the opinions I can get!

ok, so I just found out that the stage 2 goes for less than what I have to spend so I'm pretty sure that's what we'll be goin with.

Does anyone have any experience with Full Race kits?

Put it together yourself you will save more money

As always...unless you plan on buying a Full-Race kit, I would piece your own together. This is merely my opinion though.

I spent about that on my pieced together kit. But it wasn't like taking the hit all at once, I bought the parts over time, and borrowed money from my mom lol.
So if you have the $$ lying around, just go spend it with full-race, and on engine managment/tuning.
