Price for a turbo install.........
after looking around and researching it looks like $700 is the average price for a turbo install.
So would $1000 be too much to install a turbo and a hondata stage 4b ?
and add an extra $400 for unlimited dyno tuning to that. is that too much ?????
what do yall think.

Re: Price for a turbo install......... (JaEz)
wow
i saved a lot of money on installing the turbo with the help of my dad and a few friends
i never even looked around for prices on an install but i knew it would be expensive
i just didnt think it was $700, i was thinking more like 400 or 500
if you can,
do it yourself
its a whole lot more rewarding when you get it done

Re: Price for a turbo install......... (acuraintegraman)
acuraintegraman: my boi took his car to speedcraft for his engine swap and they stole some stuff off of his old engine. i dont mind paying more for an install as long as i can trust the shop and know that they'll do it right, but i've heard alot of horror stories about them, and atlantic is charging a 1000 juss for the turbo alone.
i wish i could do it myself but i dont have the time, knowledge, or tools
anybody else have any thoughts on this.
thanks
jase

if you don't mind the drive down to Tampa, I could do the install and dyno tuning of it for you. If you are interested, just email me at vapor1@tampabay.rr.com. Promise I'll cut you a great deal

Re: Price for a turbo install......... (93LSivic)
When moding this heavily its always always always gunna cost more then you think, at one point or another. When I got my turbo installed it was gunna cost me 700. Well when I got the 1200 dollar bill I freaked out. Well I'm one of the lucky ones that the Drag Gen III kit takes up all the room in the engine compartment. I had to get a different fan, have a Radiator overflow fabed, stuff moved and tons of r fabed fittings. I paid a hell of alot more then anyone should have paid but my kit was a pile of crap too. I don't know anyone that had to do so much fab and replacement on this board. I still love the Turbo though, it was totally worth it. So I guess when you have it done look at the installers previous work and then make sure you have extra just incase. I would never (Personally) install a turbo cause I don't know enought about this to do it right. My install would cost 3000 bucks I bet, cuase I would blow up my motor with a shoddy install. Don't get me wrong I would love to have done my install but I was scrapin the bottom of the barrel as it was so.......
Good luck Future boosters, don't get carried away (unless you have the money for a new block and membership at Club Si). And May the Darkside be with you, Always

$400 out here is vegas is the going rate for a turbo install. Do it yourself, it's not hard at all. I will be cheaper to buy all the tools you need than pay some guy $700 to install the kit

Re: Price for a turbo install......... (dragonsmp)
dragonsmp- what kind of tools did you need for your install? I have been thinking of installing a dragIII with one other friend myself. Did you have any knowledge of installing a turbo before you did it? How long did it take you?

Re: Price for a turbo install......... (maxim_force)
i found a shop to do it up here for $500. it wasnt a bad install but i think it couldve been better though.
i dont think its that easy to install a turbo kit.. but i dont think its that hard either. doin it right is the main thing. thats why i chose to take it to a shop. i didnt know anyone available or locally that could help me install it the right way.
$700 is too much.

Re: Price for a turbo install......... (maxim_force)
Any Craftsman 100pc. set will do as far as tools go. The install is very easy. It's just time consuming, especially the first time. Expect it to take 2 guys, with tools, jack stands, etc. about 15-30 hours your first time. I've performed an intall in 5 hours (with the help of a lift and air tools), but I really enjoy taking my time so I can be thorough. If you do perform the install yourself, it can be the best investment you'll ever make.
