hey guys this is my first post over here in the FI forum. Im currently setting my goals on getting my hands on a turbo kit for my jdm d15b sohc vtec. It will be daily driven, but that doesnt mean i cant have fun, right?

I will be looking into one of those cheap ebay kits . I've read mixed reviews and Ill probably buy the $1500 turbonetics turbo kit. But my main reason for posting was because I will be removing parts from the kit and installing upgraded parts as time goes on. What should be the first parts on my list that I should buy, or that I should buy before or during the install? Walbro 255l, injectors, wastegate, intercooler, etc.

TIA

 

I bought a cheap kit year ago to start a turbo gsr, I had great results with it. and loved it but as time went on i needed to change all the parts with the kit just because they wont support much power! my setup

95 B18c with forged 8.8cr pistons scat rods
Stock GSR Head
ACl bearings, ARP Main studs, head studs, honda head gasket bla bla bla

Ebay t3/t04e 50 trim 63ar
3inch down pipe
fmic
Omni 4 bar map, hondata s300, precision 780cc injetors,walboro 255
(dont go cheap on the management system though it is not worth it)

I wont buy another kit like that you would be better of buying good parts

 

thanks i appreciate the input. one of the first things i really want to upgrade but i know its expensive is the manifold. but i wont cheap out on tuning hardware, i will be buying s200 or maybe 300 if i can land one for the right price. And all work will be professionally tuned.

and right now im kind of torn between spending money on this kit, or saving an extra grand or so and buying a greddy kit for 2695... Im just really impatient and i wanna boost this bitch already.

 

this is all being done with a stock bottom end, mind you. these motors from what i read can only handle up to 200whp, so i dont see the point in buying a $2-4k kit when i cant use the potential untill i build my motor (in the future after this)
