Re: looking for a turbo kit... (APEXcoupe)
well it depends what power and budget you have available. or you could always put a kit together. turboing your car isnt just a decision that you make at the snap of a finger. turbo cars need good fuel management and time and money if you want it reliable and to be fast.
goals???
budget???

Re: looking for a turbo kit... (APEXcoupe)
well as far is big turbos/high hp i think you should look into full race turbo kits as far as peakboost kits. do some searches and find out what fits your goals.
look into getting your block sleved if you plan on boosting past 400hp.
find the right compression for your car.
find the right turbo
rods,pistons,cams/head.
and most important find the right fuel management. most guys with high hp use Hondata or AEM EMS. but that doesnt mean that you cant use something else like Neptune or Uberdata.
the list of options that goes with making your car turbo'ed goes on and on. So do a lot of reasearch and see what fits your goals then proceed
if you give me a dollar figure $$$ i can give you a simple list of parts and what you can get hp wise out of the set-up and possibly then you could have a better idea of what you are going to build.

How about a real goal instead of wanting your car to "be like no other"
Throw a GT47-88 on it and it will be "like no other", doesn't mean it'll run worth dick though.

i think every person has a car that is like no other so let him have goals for what he wants. as far as the goals being acheived thats another issue.

Re: looking for a turbo kit... (lshatch1.8)
me and him pm'ed eachother and got some things straight. i thought these forms were to help eachother out, instead people just like to talk **** and make it seem like they know everything and just say "search". sometimes its easier to give someone 2 minutes of your time than spend the 30 seconds that it takes to flame them. just my opinion.

Re: looking for a turbo kit... (DeeBee8)
i didnt do it to talk **** to him i know we all started somewere i just said read up its the best thing he could do just incase something goes wrong. Like my old turbo civic i saved all my money turboed it had a guy do it i didnt know crap about turbos and my wasgate broke he put a spring to hold it with no boost gauge i didnt know. So i end up loosing the spring no boost and just gave up and took it off just read around you will learn alot and it will be worth it good luck with the kit man
