Heres the deal... I had a JRSC Integra LS, and just sold it for a GSR, with 70,000 miles on the clock, but is in perfect condition, it was owned by a 54yr old lady, so i mean perfect...

From my JRSC, I have:

-Hondata S200
-DSM-450 injectors
-255lph fuel pump

I am interested in the Treadstone turbo kit for $1845, it comes with:

# Turbonetics T3/T4 turbo, 1 year warranty!
# Turbonetics Evolution wastegate
# Treadstone cast manifold
# Treadstone intercooler
# Treadstone 2.5" Polished aluminum pipe kit
# Treadstone stainless downpipe kit
# Treadstone complete oil kit
# Treadstone silicone and T-bolts
# High flow air filter, (I have a K&N already)
# All hardware included


My power goals are around 250-275hp... But im not keen on anything more than 10 PSI, on the T3/T4, 50 trim T04E compressor wheel, stage 2 turbine wheel, .48 turbine A/R, 47 Lbs/min...

I will have the car lowered 2" on koni yellows with Skunk2 springs, and an ACT clutch.

My questions are, will this kit be to powerful on a stock B18c2 engine???
And what other things should i look at getting??

Come on guys... im not a noob, i did do a search, but didnt find much on this turbo kit, so please can someone help me out here... even if you had experience with turbonetics, help me out...

thanks in advance...

Mr. Anderson

Did you search "archived"? The general consensus seems to be that it is a decent kit and much better than SSAC. A few people claimed the internals of the turbo were not from Turbonetics and it was a scam. I've personally been running a Turbonetics 60-1 for a few years and I love it (actually I wrecked the front end 2 months ago so the car doesn't run at all ). The only two other things that come to mind for more $$$ are an exhaust and tuning.

build a kit from scratch. by the time you finish this kit you would have been better building one to your taste. i was going to buy this kit and did some reasearch and found out this is not a full kit. you have a downpipe kit that is way to samll and you have to weld yourself also the dump tube is a kit you have to put together. so just build a kit its gonna end up costing the same.

you will make that much power with that turbo kit, a 50 trim is good for 400whp. the only thing that will stop you is if your compression is low.

Thanks for the help guys, I work at an exhaust shop so welding up a down pipe and an exhaust system is free, we also have a dyno so tuning is cheap. What worries me is the fact that i really like the sound, look and quality of this kit from the pictures and word of mouth, but i have no real evidence or fact on its quality (dyno-quarter mile time etc.)

Plus i live in Australia so if it turns out to be a crap kit I'm screwed.


I'm sure this kit will suit my needs, im only looking for 250-275hp, but probably only 250hp because its my daily.

will i need anything more with my management setup? like fpr, maybe bigger injectors or something? I really am interested in this kit, and im thinking it wont be to much more money to complete for me because i have access to majority of the missing parts for free or cheap as dirt.

I know my friend has that kit on a b16 in a del sol and hemakes a **** load of power . I can tell you this his numbers are damn near kick mines in the ***,its funny because you know that they are cheaper quality than the regular kits and to this him make power on ectune like that was phenominal. my point is if thats all yor money can by and you want to boost go for it.

The kit is fine you won't be disapointed.

You will need to sort out a downpipe, injectors and engine managment.

The turbo's are genuine Turbonetics.

Plus Jason @ treadstone is a decent guy give him a call i'm sure he will put your mind at rest.

thanks again guys... I have engine management and i have injectors and i work at an exhaust shop so looks like my build will be complete if i buy the kit so here i go...
