Finally! I got my turbo setup!
t3/t4 hybrid garret turbo with .50 air housing
spearco FMIC (no bent fins)
an HKS supersequential BOV
TIAL SPORT 35mm wategate
OBX equal length tubular manifold
Downpipe, MAndrel bent intercooler piping
ALL turbo flanges, Oil lines(steel braided) etc
gaskets
255 lph walbro fuel pump.
What else do I need?
350cc RC Injectors?
V-AFC?
Turbo Timer?
Boost Controller?
9:1 Compression Pistons?
Connecting Rods?
Chipped ECU?
Is any of this stuff necessary to run like.. 10 to 12 pounds of boost?
The kit costs me 2,200 and I have 1,800 left for other stuff (including suspension and transmission stuff) Right now my B16A2 block is stock minus a spoon oil pan and a spoon thermostat. Feedback PLASE!

Injectors bigger then 350's
Get hondata instead of chipped ecu and vafc. It will prob be cheaper and work a lot better for you.

Hondata, 440s, a dyno and a good tuner. At 10psi you can get a little less than 300whp on a stock block. Tuning is everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Re: Finally! I got my turbo setup! (NJTurboCivic)
you need clutch, 3inch exhaust, 550cc injectors, guages and hondata plus tuning.

Re: Finally! I got my turbo setup! (NJTurboCivic)
Okay... so what I get out of this thus far is...
I need
550cc Injectors
Clutch (What kinda of Clutch? ACT Stage 2 or 3?)
Boost Controller
and a 3" Downpipe (and I guess custom exhaust)
So I don't really need to change out my Pistons and Connecting Rods?
Would it be easier to just get like a 3mm Head Gasket instead to lower compression?
I don't plan on boosting more than 12... and I will be daily driving at 7.
My goal was only like... mid 13s because I use to hit that with my old B18 LS Civic.
What about a Fuel Pressure Regulator?
Hondata is a problem, as I live in New Jersey and the nearest place to me is Queens or PA... Anybody else got any suggustions? E-Manage or AEM EMS?
Also, about the oil pan. Nothing is special at all, It came with it, and I figured I would say it... it's basically an OEM oil pan with Spoon Sports on it.

tuning i very important with your setup. stock pistons detonate once and usually break lands so i would deffinetly do the hondata not the VAFC, and as for the ems i have heard the hondata is much easier to tune/setup

Re: Finally! I got my turbo setup! (quickergixxer)
I know Hondata is the best. The Way To Go! But... I can't afford to tune the car myself, and for a dealer to do it, I have no idea how much it would cost.

Re: Finally! I got my turbo setup! (NJTurboCivic)
ok first of all if you bring your hondata to a dealer and ask them to tune your hondata they will probably laugh at you
you need to bring it to a tunning shop, you know dyno and it isn't free.
come on all that **** and you dont know basics
if i were you i would do more reseach

my bad
man i dont know my best advice would be to save some money
it dosnt take much to f up those stock pistons and you probably dont wont to be forced into sleeves it if you cant afford them
