OoAoO

keep in mind buy brand name stuff will last alot longer and once turboed youll need to be tuned and i doubt youll be able to buy all the turbo stuff and get it installed and tuned for 1000

I would post in the F.I forum, but as for only having 1000 dollars. You may as well kiss that goodbye with just the injectors, ecu chipping and tuning, and labor to put the kit on since you dont have the tools. Plus you have to buy the kit, or try and piece it together like I always d, by using dsm turbo stuff.

keep saving bro, your going to be like a grand in instal and a tune.
inless your going to build a ebay kit, you will need around 3500 for the greddy bolt on kit by it self.

slow96lude

some good advice^^^^

You can get a treadstone kit for about 1800, very good quality, turbonetics turbo or garrett turbo.

just remember guys hes only shooting for 200 hp, hes not going to need very much boost.....I know how I am with boost, I Just go crazy after a while and want more

tdubbebawllin

what else besides turbo could i see some real power.. like i said im shooting for 200hp ..should i just go ls/vtec..seeing that turbo will be wayy to much

OoAoO

a friend of mine has a ls/v setup with skunk2 cams cant remember what oes and make like 192 hp just call skunk2 or a reputable tuner and they should be able to point you in the right direction..... for instance try xenocron.com chris is a great guy a friend of mine with a b20/v setup with ctr cams made 204 hp on a xenocron tune

slow96lude

I LIKE boost, so Im not going to point you to the all motor side but yea there are definatly other options. like cams and a great tune

tdubbebawllin

i was thinking maybe some cams and a tune also.. whats some gains i can expect from a nice cams and a good tune

slow96lude

depends on what cams. If your looking for that much power your going to need some pretty nasty cams which leads you to put better springs and retainers in. Which is more monies.... You may as well just boost it. If you were close I would tune and get you some injectors cheap. just supply the turbo kit and we would get you rolling. Suprised that none of your buddies have the tools to put a simple turbo kit on.

tdubbebawllin

yeah i wanna turbo to .. i was thinking bout goin to the local shop tommorow and seein what they say.. i just wanted to run bout 7psi.. idk.. maybe a cam and a tune for now..

dont give up man i just boosted my LS for under 1000$ with a tune

slow96lude

make a list. get online and see what you can get used. Like you could easily get a set of dsm blue or black top injectors for under 100. I turbo mani for about 60 and a small oem turbo off something for about 100. That would be a start. Get on ebay and get a FMIC and piping kit for about $250. Then you have all the little stuff like oil lines and rubber hose for drain lines and vacuum lines. Your going to need to pop the oil pan off to drill it out so you may as well put a new gasket there. Getting the ecu shipped is about 75 but if you know how to solder you can do it yourself. If you can solder just buy the kit of moates.net and have someone do it for you like an electronics repair shop. That should be a good start for the DIYer

cool but you should have seen he doesnt have the tools to do it, so there goes the grand on intstall lol

tdubbebawllin
