Default b series turbo kit

all parts were purchased brand new except for the turbo, person who installed it did a bad job and my motor blew on the way to a shop that was gonna redo everything for me. 20 miles tops on all the parts.


SpoolinPerformance Manifold
SpoolinPerformance Downpipe w/ flex
SpoolinPerformance Dumptube
Extra dumptube I got from somewhere i forget
Tial 38mm Wastegate
TurboXS Type S BOV welded to the Injen cold air
Johnnyracecar 6" Intercooler
Stealthmode Performance Couplers
Stealthmode Performance Oil Kit
ATP Turbo TClamps
DIY JC Whiteney Piping w/ Injen Cold Air intake
Garret T3

Will throw in GSR oil pan, untapped I believe.

All parts were new except turbo, make offer.

Parts were sitting on the car in a garage for the past 2 years so they do have some surface rust or dried up oil or something? When my motor blew oil was spraying everywhere so i assume thats whats dried up on the parts. Just needs to be cleaned a bit but was purchased new. Im pretty sure if you install everything and run it, imost of tll burn away with the heat.Turbo may need rebuild, I don't know how to check if its good or not? Intercooler some bent fins.

What you see in the pics is what you get plus an oilpan. Shop that installed my Greddy kit threw all my old turbo parts into a box and this is what was in it.

I finally got my car fixed, threw on a Greddy kit and called it a day. So this kit has got to go.

im not too fond of ls or b20 vtecs. heard too many bad reliability issues with them. unless youre talking about straight whole ls or b20 longblock, but i would feel like thats a downgrade from my gsr motor.

pretty sure im gonna get rid of the turbo kit for the integra. thinking about getting a used IS. i may boost the hatchback though. integra is too expensive to take anymore risks.
