Ok people... I am now begining to investigate where i can get a decent turbo kit for a decent price for my 93eg hatch B16a2... This will be going on a completly stock motor, but already have catback exahust sorted.

Kits here in the UK are going for £2500-3000 for a basic kit thats like $5000!!! Everything here is so much more expensive!!!

Anyway... i have been told to stay away from ebay cheap kits... But i found this one kit which is $1700.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...%3AIT

it looks quite reliable to me as it has gd quality turbo (turbonetics). Pleas give me your input on this kit and whcih parts are just not reliable.

I have decided to go for a kit rather than piece a kit together because there are also so many little bits to get together otehr than the manifold, turbo, wastegate, intercooler and piping etc......

Also i think i want to install a 3" downpipe... i read a threat about whether to use 3 or 2.5" and i want to go with 3" as i dont have aircon... Also would this kit allow me to keep the powersteering and original radiator?

I was reccomended on running 440cc injectors, but i am not familiar with makes etc... and would this require me to run a differnt fuel pump? and you chuck some names you would reccomend my way please.

THANKS A LOT!!!

eh, doesn't look that bad, but that manifold looks like ***

J1A1H

yea the manifold is the uglist thing, and i would probably swap that with another one... But i am just making sure everything else is gd quality... The turbo and wastegate looks alright to me... But i am not completly 100% on turbos yet... still doing my research

boostedcivicsir

looks like a drag manifold.

Turbo-charged

i like how it says that it comes with the best wastegate money can buy. thats awesome.

J1A1H

yea thats funny but the help i am seeking is more along the lines of wheter that wastegate is actually any good?

also too bad hes not a real turbonetics dealer and also doesnt sell turbonetics turbos. tehy're remanufactured down2turbo units. you can tell cuz he uses the mercades t3 turbine flange. no one uses that except down2turbo.jonestangs. and MJMAUTO where they get them rebuilt ( ive had their turbos go out 5 times on me. ill never buy a rebuilt again). then agin they could be real turbonetics. i just have seen other stuff from him taht says it isnt.

plus i know his fmic pipign kits etcc are nto turbonetics they're stuff he gets made overseas.
ive had a customer send me his manifold an the casting was horrible cuz it came with a hole in the casting that i had to weld.

lol, I didn't even catch that

J1A1H

project dc2 so your sayingthere is a high possibility that these turbos arent genuinse turbonetics? or rebuilt?

So what are peopls thoughts of the kit? can i get other reliable kits for similar money anywhere? can you point me in the right direction please!!!

THANKS!!!

yee SERIOUS

that is just some ****. hahahaha the best turbo kit, is called "custom" made by you

that one does look ok, but i wouldn't do it. i rather go with ssac, so i know it'll blow and be ready for it

boostedcivicsir

it may be hard to get akit at that price. now if you put together your own, it may be more cost effective. go to importparts.com and put together a kit and see what it comes up to.

J1A1H

thing is i am not 100% sure what i completly need. I know the obvious things but when it comes to getting all the little accessories to complete the kit... i just dont know.
How much do you think i would have to spend in order to purchase a decent priced reliable kit?

boostedcivicsir

there is the good old drag kit for 2799.00 but there is no room for growth with that kit because if the limitation of the manifold. looking 4000.00 +- for a full race kit, about 3000.00 +- for a greddy kit.

J1A1H

Prices are similar to UK then if i get a kit.

I made my own kit from the website and it came to $3680.00. It included

Acura/Honda B-Series Custom Turbo Kit
- Air Filter K&N Universal Cone Filter
- Blow-Off Valve HKS SSQV
- Downpipe DRAG 3.0" Downpipe (No A/C)
- DRAG Piping Kit 92-95 Civic B16A
- Exhaust Manifold DRAG Cast Manifold B-Series
- Fuel Injectors Set of 4 RC Engineering 440cc Saturated
- Fuel Management Hondata S200B
- Fuel Pump Walbro 255lph-HP In-Tank
- Intercooler DRAG 400hp - 27.0"x7.0"x2.5"
- Misc. Hardware Bolts, Vacuum line, Fittings, etc.
- Oil Line Stainless Steel Oil Feed and Return w/ Fittings
- Turbocharger Turbonetics T03/T04B - 450hp
- Wastegate Turbonetics Deltagate Mark II 7.25psi

Is that a gd setup and worth the moeny? what would you change on that?

And is it possible for you to show me to a link of a greddy kit please.

THANKS
