Default Help me spend my money!!! ($3,000+)

Hey guys,
i just surfed on over from some other honda forums that have been recently filled with lots of pointless "MY car is faster then your car" crap (Read as: Superhonda.org)
and i am at the point in time where i have some money, and i want more speed, originally i was gonna go with the N20, but thats just not the right way. then i was gonna go JRSC, but that wasnt enough power, and we all know where the true power lies.......turbo
So i was hoping that someone would help me and take the time to help me construct a very nice turbo. Now, i dont need 400 HP, nor do i need 11/12 second time slips. 13's are nice, and i just want to take care of the pesky Z28's and GTs that constantly give me trouble!!! so it can be a custom kit, or a fully bought kit, but i am new to this area, and i need help!!! someone take me under their wing (please?)
thanks in advance!!
-Tim!

The Turbo Mafia guys will probably be all over this.. but if you're going Turbo I'd say Drag Gen III. ben@importparts.com can probably give you an awesome price.. you won't be disappointed.

this is easy...
if your si is blue buy a drag3 from ben
but....
if your si is black you should buy a drag3 kit from ben


i am guessing that the turbo w/ install will run you about 300 over your limit but come on!!!!!! go for it(or get some help and do the install w/ friends. stay at stock boost levels for a while then make that SI a damn monster!!!!!

Although I like the Drag kits I still prefer a custom kit, SFP Manifold with XS Engineering Turbo and an Apex Skyline Intercooler from XS. cant beat it. How about 450whp?

ill 3rd that... nos is fun to a point... but i like having the power available when i want it... i dont want to be racing and all of a sudden i realize i have to refill the bottle... and refilling it adds up as well... by the time u spend money on the nos kit... and getting your motor ready for it... and then all the times u will ever refill it...u could have spent a little more money and get a turbo kit

(and turbo's are much cooler )

all the ho's love riding in my hatch. and they'll love you too. just boost like a mad man and it should make them all wet and they'll say "oh how fast your car is" at least my ho's do. we all love the beautiful noise of turbo's spooling and blow-offs and shi-. "boost it"
