after a long choice, i decided to go turbo, now the question is which brand is the best, and cheapest, i kno a good one runs over 3k but some suggestions would help, also some suggestions on what else to get for a turbo car thannks!

 

drag makes an awesome kit for FI, but just remember.... its all in the tuning

 

drag is good

 

but i dont want too much PSI prolly around 6, btw how much will this reduce my gas mileage? i have a 01 stock gsr

 

it wont kill gas too bad as long as you dont boost on a daily basis for no reason.....but I've seen you drive junior, you have a heavy foot

 

oh, and you shouldnt be using anything but premium(93 octane) anymore if you go turbo

 

well i wasnt gonna use anything less than 93 anyways...how much is too much loss on mileage cuz this is my daily driver, my bro said i would get about 15 mpg...but i dont kno

 

like i said that all depends on how you drive, obviously it eats gas very quickly when you just boost all day, but if you drive normal most of the time(IE:keep the revving under 4500, shift low) you should be OK

 

ah ok, yea, it not like im gonna be red line shifting every time

 

haha, you say that now, but wait until you feel boost

 

its stupid. You dont need to spend 3000$+ to have a good turbo kit. do lots of research.

im running 10psi on a stock b20. the rods have arp rod bolts... but other than that its all stock.

i spent about 1200$ in total... it could have been 1000$ but i rushed at two points and both times cost me 100$ that ill never get back.

what i paid is a rough estimate and that includes tunning. which me and a friend learned to do. but if you learn to tune your gona need to buy a couple things in which case add another 5-600$

but if you just spend time researching youll see you can piece together a turbo kit for wayyy less than 3000,2000$ and it will be better than the kits that sell for that much...
use a chip or standalone tunning. dont use an FMU those are more of a guess at tunning. though they do work they limit your abilities and horsepower big time.

an fmu is like a guess at tunning if you get an fmu you wont need to be tuned cause thats what the fmu is for. lots of people will say tune tune tune.. and they only say it but they dont know what the expletive they are talking about..

anyways i had an fmu before and when i finally chipped my ecu and got injectors and ditched the fmu my power difference was amazing on the same setup....

plus out of boost i dont burn so much god damn gas its like running stock.

 

I'm running the Revhard kit, costs about $2600 shipped from sponsors on here. Pretty good for the price imo.

 

all in the tuning.
I had my car piggybacked on a AFC (which is better than a FMU btw)before I got it tuned.
Good tuning is the only way to do it right.

 

i wanted to get the Hondata S300 ECU, what u all think?
