can you build a turbo kit from scratch that will work for a gsr for under 1200 and still keep your air conditioning? this kit would not include an intercooler and would be for a mild street application to run 5-7 psi on.

Is it possible and if so what parts would you go for:

MANIFOLD ?

TURBO ?

D-PIPE ?

Electronic Managment ?


I will eventually go intercooled but not yet.

think of this thread as a poor mans turbo kit

 

a complete turbo kit for a gsr, and retain a/c, and under 1200? no. ac comp manifolds are more then regular ones, dp is alittle more also. pretty much, your manifold and dp is gonna be almost half your budget if not more

 

if you have a friend weld up your charge pipes and down pipes using crush bent tubing from a muffler shop
chrome or uberdata
an internal wastgate and a small t3 you may be able to but dont foprget about tuning which is the most important thing

i would recomend saving and getting something better

 

Greddy Kit.

 

yeah i work at flatirons tuning and get some sweet deals. The greddy kti has been on my mind for a while now.

the greddy kit is the way i was thinking of going, but i am not too hyped onthe lil blue box. i plan on using a jumper harness to solder into so as to not to have any problems in the future. but i wouldrather sell the blue box and get a learning program from hondata like the s200 but have no idea how that hooks up tot he obd1 ecu's.

but then i was thinking we do a lot of comptech superchargers withthe hgh boost pulleys (9-10psi) and they use a simple device(ESM) to trick the MAP sensor into seeing no boost and then use the factory mapping which tunes off the o2 sensor accordingly for more fuel or less. With the proper size injectors, fuel pump and a manual boost controller i can pretty much put together a poor,poor, poor mans e manage for boost. but it will require a/f ratio tuning rather then max hp tuning on the dyno.

If i am going to do the greddy kit, i am thinking i should have TEC in golden do some port work on it. is this worth it?

also i know that 18G's have some good hp levels and diameter of exhaust has an overall roll in the output of hp, would there be a significant difference in hp between a 2.5" and 3" hp on the greddy setup on stockinternals?
