Not gettin' much done with 2K unless you can find some killer deals on used quality parts & you learn hoe to tune on your own. Many will come along and tell you that they can do it for less but they always seem to be running junkyard/Ebay bullshit.

the first thing you need to do is read and understand this
https://honda-tech.com/forums/forced-induction-16/%2A%2A%2Aforced-induction-forum-faq%2A%2A%2A-1024174/
once you understood it i doubt youll have anymore questions

second you mentioned you have low compression and that is....what?
i never heard of low compression rods.. but i ok
you can buy an ebay kit and then end up realizing its all crap. i really dont care what other may say but this is true. ebay kits are crap and if you like eating crap sandwiches, by all means buy an ebay kit. the information you listed is some what limited. h-t will not spoon feed the information or try to pry the information out for you.

i still wonder how these people come across not 1 but 2 vtec motors and i cant even find a spare for myself lol

Lol another one of these! Haha buy the ebay kit get some smaller injectors don't tune it and boom 10000hp... all jokes aside u sould like your on the right track withe the forged internals but 2gs isn't going to be enough could be a good start... anyways get the go autoworks street x kit some bigger injectors 450 or more some kind of tuning software hondata crome aem ect... and find someone professional to tune it for u... that's all the help i can stand to give! Goodluck!

Sell everything and buy a factory turbo car.... wanting to build a cheap turbo kit is like having sex with a 5 dollar hooker without a condom, it might be cheap at first but you'll be paying for it in the long run.

Haha.

OP save your money. You are better off.

You could go with a used Garret or holset, eBay cast mani, eBay charge pipes and intercooler, used tial waste gate and bov, and some dsm 450s this is going to be the cheapest set up that is going to be even close to reliable. But it still needs a good tune no matter what!!!!!!

EBay kits suck dick

You cannot build a reliable kit for 2000

Cheap
Reliable
Fast

Pick two because that's what your car will be

pm'd you

2000 is not my limit its just what i would like to spend i can go up 5000

Do what I did, Go autoworks. http://www.go-autoworks-store.com/gocotuki.html

You'll still need injectors/ fuel pump/ and a few misc things. You'll spend a little over 2k thou, still a quality new kit.

i dont have much in my kit, just gotta find good deals. i got a holset cheap, a buddies old top mount cheap, got a good price on IC and charge piping/BOV. the tune will likely be the most expensive part of my setup since i opted to go with hondata which was 550 for the s300 plus however much the tune is. but the tune is an area you do not want to cheap out on. i have been piecing my kit together for a couple years though which not everyone wants to do lol

jawnewbe2

which wone of the ones would you recomend

jawnewbe2

yea i dont plan on letting him go on a cheap tune he owes me a a really big favor and i asked if i c ould cash it in for this and he asked if that was all. long story short i drove across the country for his *** when he blew up his **** and didnt have enough for his car to get towed back so i did it for him.

Be patient and make the FI classifieds your BFF on here. Thats what ive done and gotten some really nice stuff for a really good price. As everyone has said, stay away from cheap eGay crap and knockoff parts. You wont regret it in the long run!

Also...what compression do you have currently? Are they forged internals? Also you need to make a HP goal and go from there.

mafia

Read about them, get the one for your power goal, you can call him too he is very helpful.

Get a good turbo size for your goal, don't over do it with a big *** turbo with alot of lag.

phaphon

true make a power goal. read a lot of threads. and be patient.

Yum yum yum... STI's...

jawnewbe2

lol my GF has a STI lol and i love that but i want my civic to be able to beat her next year

SiRCiviC94

eBay kit used stage 3+ clutch healthy motor.... Install and tune properly sti will look like its standing still

Bix VT

The difference is, do that for enough pulls and I guarantee the ebay kit will break something before the OEM STi will.



OP: listen to these guys, this is all good advice:
