Hey all, i have been reading through the ls-t forums and have learned alot of ****. ok here is the question i have. I own a 1994 acura integra ls. 243,594 miles on it. the motor has always been taken care of and has never given me any problems, here recently i have been wanting to boost the old teg, so i went and had a compression and leak down test on the motor, leak down was 95% across the board with only 5% loss on each cylinder and the compression i cant remember what it was but the mechanic said it was great. ok to my question: what is a semi low budget turbo setup for my motor that can put me in the low to mid 12's? keep in mind that this is my daily driver so i dont want to go to much past somthing that will put me in the low 12's. also when you tell me the setup please give me all the specs on what i should get and the brand name of it,, any info on what i should do to prep the head and the block is much appreciated, plus a good turbo kit.. thx all

to get into low 12's u might have to spend quite a few bucks

i have seen many people do 13's wit spending alot on some cheaper parts and used contacts to get them as well.....

not really sure what kits or anything u can buy that will give u that much power

 

u could probably get high 11's for just over 2k.

 

im looking at spending around 2,500

 

Dont see u gettin into the 12's with that... Might need a lil more money so u can do every thing right... so you can get those numbers you want.

 

well could you all list some setups, and some times that could come with them? also the price of them.. thx

 

another thing, are these turbo kits anything worth looking at?

anyone?

 

can anyone help please?

 

you should stick to show... and i also think the links to ebay should just be blocked

 

im just trying to get oppinions.and ideas, but it seems like noone here can help me with boosting my b18b

 

dont go wit an ebay turbo kit....

i was looking at kits and realized that by piecing my turbo kit together i could really get the feel of what each part does....

kits are good but piecing a turbo set-up together is better.

not sure for 2500 though....prob wont find too much with that unless u buy lots of used parts....and cheap ones at that.....

with my stuff i probably spent about 3500-4000 maybe alittle more just because i had to buy new stuff...old stuff was crap...

i have a SSAC manifold and wastegate for sale as well as a turbo....

the turbo has alot of shaft play so that might need so fixing up but the manifold and wastegate are in good shape..

 

Search. There is a thread devoted to the LSt set ups on here ... many pages long, with pics etc.

You won't find alot of people wanting to hold your hand on here

 

that is def true lol

i would do LOTS AND LOTS of searching and reading before you buy any parts

 

ok heres the best piece of advice i can give you get on homemadeturbo.com i am a member on there and have bought most of my turbo kit from there and have learned a lot from there also.. as long as you dont need a full race kit you can get in the 12s for 2500 easy .....

 

ok thank you.. and the thing is, i read up on there but didnt feel like going through all 400+ pages. thats time i just dont have.. thinks for those of you that have given me some advice

 

I spent about $2500 for my turbo kit (including a full dyno tune) and made 253whp and 222wtq at 8psi. Now that will put you into the 13's, maybe 12's on slicks/radials. Would be more with 10psi but i made the power i wanted so i'm keeping it safer. I pieced everything together, buying slightly used parts in the classifieds section. The only thing new was the Walbro. Took me about 5 months but the wait and time to find cheaper (yet reliable) parts pays off! DO NOT BUY EBAY TURBO KITS! You'll regret it.

Fabworks Log manifold
Fabworks 3" DP
3" Kteller exhaust w/ 3" magnaflow muffler
Garrett T3/T40E 57 trim .48 a/r
Tial 38mm
Greddy Type S
JRC 6" Intercooler w/ 2.5" spooling pipes
DSM 450 injectors
Walbro 255lp
Hondata S200b

 

How did u boost and tune for that cheap? **** tuning can cost 100-150 an hour... i spent more on my block and sleeving lol i hope i pull some good numbers lol.
