Hey guys im new to all the turbo stuff. I have a Acura integra and was wondering what is the cheapest way to turbo my car. Dayily driver about 8 or 9 psi boost on a stock enigne. How much do you thing it will cost to get all the parts. I just talked to a guy named alex on h-t yesterday he has a ls turbo he said he made himself and ran it on 14 - 16 psi i forgot. I just want something with low boost so i dont mess my enigne up. If i parted a turbo together myself how much do you think it will cost? help from anyone ?

 

I will piece it together for you for a small %
If not, do the math yourself! You can add I am guessing.
turbo and oil lines 500-2000
manifold & DP 500-2000
wast gate & BOV 300-600
intercooler & piping 500-2000
EMS & tuning 300-3000
Fuel system 250-1000
Here let me give you an idea... 2-11 grand

 

i seen peolpe get turbos and put them together for like 800- 1 grand how they do that?

A reliable setup shouldn't be less than 1k IMO.

 

Wow that write up is really good man ... so i added it all up .. so am i looking to spend 1200-1500 on the turbo pieceing it together myself? I got a friend that might help me put it together because ill know ill mess something up if im by myself. WOW thanks man i printed all that stuff and im going to read it again. Thanks again!

 

No problem. That writeup is my favorite out of all the many turbo websites I've read.

turbo and oil lines-$250
manifold & DP-$300
wast gate & BOV-$35(internal gate, dsm BOV)
intercooler & piping-$300(Johnny race car plus custom piping)
EMS & tuning-~100-300(uberdata=free, chipped ecu=50, paying someone to tune if you dont have friends could be a tad expensive
Fuel system-$100(dsm 450's)

Total=~1,600</TD></TR></TABLE>

Fixed that for you. He said he was on budget. He didn't say he wanted to flush 11k down the toilet.....

Thanks man


Hey i was also wondering that is a save boost to run dayily driver? 8 psi?

and is it also safe to run boost on a car with 113K miles on it?

 

reliability all depends on the tuning and setup,Im running hondata and I drive mine like a rental everyday

 

bump anyone?
