i am new to the darkside and i have some questions as to where to buy certain items:
hoses and clamps
oil lines
vaccum tees and lines
fuel line
also i plan on doing a custom kit and buying most of the parts brand new cuz
i dont want to deal with having missing parts and i like the fact that the parts are new and not abused and that would juss give me a headache.
i was just thinking about buyting the rev kit for $2700 shipped but i heard they only good for 7psi and i want to go around 9 or 10psi.
so what u guys things as to peicing together a kit by buying brand new parts
as to buying a kit? how much do u think i will save.
thanx in advance..oh yeah i am boosting a stock LS motor

 

Ill try my best to answer all these questions pretty thoroughly

Manifold: Inline Pro--Art Turbo

Turbo: Depending on your goals really...you can go precision but most of us cant afford that so i would say a T3/T4 .48/.60 54/57 trim or if you like a later spool but more power later on T3/T4 .60/.63

Wastegate: 38mm Tial Wastegate

BOV: Personally i think the 1g DSM BOV is the best for the money...ive seen ppl do crazy stuff cleaning them up w/ spray paint and they can be found for about $50

Downpipe: Custom from a muffler shop or do it yourself. whatever you want

Exhaust: Kteller8 http://www.accordinglydone.com

Oil Lines: Flamenco-T...get the feeds and return lines...i botched up that one

Hoses, clamps, Ts vaccum lines: Any parts store should have all that stuff for like $20-50

I would be most worried about fuel management. Regardless i would do 450cc DSM injectors but then it comes down to the fact if you want a AFC, Hondata, Stand alone, or ECU hack. my choice would be ECU hack then hondata

BTW: revhard can handle more than 7psi...it just comes w/ the stock WG set to 7psi...all you need is a boost controller to pump up the boost and something to monitor the A/F sicne you just changed the boost level....

 

thanx for the reply
