what the hell i was CONVINCED that i was going to turbo my car, but i've been looking at some of the threads posted here and it seems like a cheap reliable turbo is NOT possible

i dont need to be the fastest i will be happy with high 13's
i also cant spend too much money i was going to piece together a kit and get some dsm injectors, vafc2 hack, and a bigger fuel pump.

this would be slapped on the stock motor, but now that i'm close to having the money i'm reading up on a lot of horror stories and not for nothing but reliability is more important for me than speed, should i just go b20vtec??????

 

cheap. reliable. fast. pick any two.
im in the process of turboing my b16a3 and i can tell u this as could anyone who goes turbo.

 

i said cheap and reliable i dont need to be the fastest

 

nor did i.......but if you want it to be cheap, my suggestion would be to not do it at all. wait until you have enough money to do it right.

 

a small turbo, used manifold, used tial wg, dsm injectors, piping used from a car like yours already bent with the bov already welded, used fmic, new fuel pump, and find someone who can tune uberdata. that right there is the cheapest and most reliable way to go.
