first off i really do not have the money to just buy a whole kit so i am going to try n peice together my own turbokit buying some new and some used turbo parts.

first off i kno i need a turbo, manifold,wastegate, downpipe, intercooler, chargepipes, BOV, missing link(or check valves), FMU....what else do i need????? also if i go with say hondata i wont need a missing link or FMU am i correct???? or would it be better to just get the FMU and missing link and use a AFC hack????

also i am trying to use a turbo setup on a b18b motor so what would be a better turbo to go with????brand wise and sizewise. like is IHI a decent turbo or maybe a turbonetics is that much better. keep in mind i am also going for best price as well as quality so lookin for the best bang for my buck. any suggestions and help is greatly appreciated...

If you do any kind of boosting under 10psi, i recommend just do the AFC hack....forget that crap of FMU's and checkvalves and missing links, with the afc hack u dont need them.

for a b18 motor i would say a t3 turbine would be best, much bigger and ur spool up time will suffer, ur top end will pull hard and wont be as restricted as going with a small turbo...

so using a s-afc i wont need missing link or a FMU is that really troo. i though u would still need it since u are still using the cars ecu unlike a stand alone

Hondata still uses a Honda ECU.

They basically trick you map sensor so that it doesn't see positive pressure.

you dont need fmu, missing link or check valves. but you will need 450cc injectors for the afc hack.

other things i did not see. fuel pump, and gauges. you will need at least a boost gauge.

juicedricer

o troo i totally 4got that lol for u

Integra808

If you are doing the hack with the 450's and afc, do you still need the fuel pump? Or is that more for the fmu method?

platinum00

you could prolly get away without it. but it's only 100 bucks. so why not. better to be safe then sorry..

Yea, for low boost like 5-7 psi I'd say you probably don't need a high volume pump. I regret buying a prefab kit just because I thought it would be a headache to peice one but now that I see what it involes there is really nothing to it lol. And Cliff, I'd say go AFC Hack for a while since you're broke as a joke and then save for Hondata. Can't wait to see the b18b coupe runnin b00zt.

Oh and here's what you need for AFC hack just so you can get an idea.

AFC
DSM 450CC injectors
Older honda resistor box or 10 ohm resistors
And like I said the pump isn't needed but you could always get one for fairly cheap for when you wanna boost more.

All and all it'd be like 300 without pump and 400 with.

i am boosting more than 5 psi shiet 5 psi will not get me anywhere i figure 9-12psi is what i want. i am getting a fuel pump which i think is better anyways to have.

Happyman

I need to install my turbo I just wish I didn't have friends that worked all the damn time

quikB18B

If you want to run 9-12 psi then get a walbro 255lp fuel pump. Go with a garrett t3/t04e. You can peice together a nice kit mostly new parts for around $2k. Of course your afc hack setup will be a little more expensive than an fmu setup, but still cheaper than going hondata.
