i honestly think anything with a cast manifold is better as the "stainless steel" will crack rear quick

cool "noted" cast manifold. Is there something specific I need to look for in the actual turbo size to help me acheive 250-300hp? is there such a thing as a turbo that's too big? lol

50 trim or a 57 tril will do it. ebays most basic t3 turbos are 57 trim. i just notice the 1st link has no manifold. any kit that comes with a dp, normally never fits. too big of a turbo will be laggy and wont achieve hp goal in time. especially on a non-v engine.

ok also noted. Ok heres a dumb question The majority of the turbo kits I am looking at say b16/b18 application...will those still fit my b20? Or just look for turbos for my DA9 model,regardless if I have a b20 or not? Oh I noticed what's up with a Top mount turbo!?

if its bseries it should fit all bseries. you just have to take some time to do some custom pipe routing. not a big deal. as long as the manifold is made per engine.

my top mount? its just sitting here. waiting to make money for the rest of the things.

NIIICE! I see you didn't go cheap on the parts so a .57 trim turbo will give me the ability to reach 250-300hp with minimal lag, I hope. Ok and it sounds like the way to go is have a custom cast manifold and downpipe for my engine,right?

well i did go cheap back in 09 then did a lot of reading and pieced a new kit instead. didnt install til aug 10'. but that didnt change a thing, i blew the motor up anyways lol. so that gave me the opportunity to go all out and today thats what im left with ^ not having a job in 9.5 months.

find an ebay kit that has a cast manifold so insure no cracking down the road. also find a kit that comes with a dp so you dont have too spend more to get a new one. instead just cut and repositioned the dp thats comes with the pck and weld that.

or take your time and piece together your own kit out of the FI section, you'll be able to get quality parts the first time, it'll just take longer

ok awesome that gives me what I need to get the basics..then as money is available I can upgrade the wastegate..BOV....and anything else just to make it a little more reliabel I am not trying (says a little prayer) to blow my engine. I just want to keep her sleeper and should some muscle car wanna roll..I'm ready I am going to Vegas this Saturday (says another little prayer) hopefully I hit the slots and come back with a bonus to get me closer to acheiving my goal

I finally got the brackets machined for the radio box , It will bolt up where the combination control box went behind the center console, that box is lightweight plastic and easy to move somewhere else. Honda was thoughtful enough to use heavy bent steel rod to hold the dash, with welded on brackets. I'm still waiting for the coupler to hook the two hdmi cables together. ignore the long bolts, I need to go to the hardware store and get the proper length ones

Was up BNB?? Its been a long time that I've been on here, so sorry about that, just been caught up with work and moderating team integra, that i just haven't had the time to login, that i forgot my password..lol

First, I'd like to welcome all new members of BNB, and props to all who is keeping this thread going.

I have been doing lots to my car, a adjustable fuel regulator, modding DC seat covers on my DA seats, painting the VC and tuning the ECU.. Other then that, not all much has happened.
Glad to see the thread up to 278 pages, keep it going.
So, hows everyone??
