This doesn't tell us anything. And if you're not looking for big power then exactly what kind of power are you looking for? And for future reference get that term reliable out of your vocabulary. If you build it right it will automatically be reliable. A car is no more reliable than the person who maintains it. Boosted or not.


Now, list your budget and power goals.

You managed to completely ignore grumble's post. Good job. If you spent literally less than a minute searching the forums, you would already have your answer.

First of all i searched. 2nd it took about 5 seconds to read his post and and 15 searching . Why does everyone have to flame. All i need is advice. Pretty simple...... if you dont have any, please keep flame off the post.

Maybe you missed this part. And I guarantee you that you didn't do any legitimate searching.
No one is gonna spoon feed you this type of information as it does not benefit you if someone says "Get this." and you don't know if they are totally wrong.

Can the attitude. If you think this is flaming wait until someone decides to move this into the Forced Induction where you should have posted int eh first place. They are merciless.

No, once again.
Budget?
Power goals?

If you don't wish to answer, or don't have any answers for these then don't bother even replying.

Asking for help and then not responding to questions needed to answer your question is like calling the cops cause someone robbed your house and not telling them where your house is. These guys are just trying to help.

If you can't find the info you're looking for in there, maybe you shouldn't boost your car.

I don't think you did. You may have looked at a few posts but you did not research. And you're probably not finding anything because your goals are ridiculous sorry to say.

For 40hp you might as well not even bother trying to turbocharge it. No one makes a kit to only put out 40hp and no one would buy one only to get 40hp OUT of it. I don't know if you can get that N/A for that budget but a good turbo kit will eat up your budget pretty fast and leave you lacking any engine management. You can do it cheaper but I doubt you have the patience nor knowledge to source out decent used parts. Might as well get something like a 14b or smaller and tune it with an FMU, VAFC and a Missing Link. Also...The B-series can easily handle 300hp on a stock block. How you came up with only 40hp is baffling.

gonna take a bit more than 2500 dollars, but a smaller GT turbo from Garrett (like the 28xx ball bearing unit) with a simple log manifold controlled by Neptune should get you happy.

Oh I see. You want your **** wrapped up in a pretty bow! People that just hand you this aren't really helping you. How do you know if what he just told you is accurate?

Educate yourself. Asking for opinions in a forum isn't it.

exactly!

Go drive a 1.8 golf if only want 200whp fast response from tiny turbo with the powerband falling off once vtec hits.

since you have em1, i'm assuming you have b16 (say....140whp) lol.
Your goal at min should be 240whp.


Go buy a kit off go-autoworks.com... otherwise pay someone who knows what their doing to piece together a kit for you. $1800-2000 really is plenty.

I don't know if you want a used setup, but I am still trying to sell my old setup. I can post a link to the FS thread if you are interested.
