thats what imma start telling all the noobs that ask this EXACT SAME QUESTION!!!! If they dont want to search for the right answer...I guess we could just tell them to go for it and here about it in a month.

 

I thought we were "nice" now. Anyway ya nub the stock H22 can handle up to I belive it was the 250-300ish whp range before seriously needing to upgrade the engine itself and supporting mod. Most peeps run 6-8 pounds safely before they start blowing ringlands depending on the turbo you use. As far as turbo kits and moreover EBAY turbo kits go there isn't one educated person on here that would recommend one. Do some looking thru the faq's and peice yourself one together for cheaper.

 

there u go this link woks and this turbo kit is a new turbonetics kit http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...wItem
and te price is 1800 i was just wondering cuz it didnt have injectore or a fuel managment system and i was wondering if i needed one???

Welcome to Honda tech. People would take you more seriously if you would use some punctuation in your posts. You didnt use one period in that whole thing. Also that turbo kits of ebay are not good.

 

i dont trust ebay for someting like this. check http://www.turbo-kits.com

 

sorry bout punctuation i didnt know that. So even though its turbonetics its still garbage??

 

not saying the product is crap saying i wouldnt trust the company. so many ebay companies are fraud and fake. i would rather have peace of mind going with a real company.

 

oh ok so if this was a legit store would this turbo be worth buying???

 

its sort of funny how all you guys say these kits are crap

a guy i know bought the integra turbo kit off ebay through xs power for about fiftteen hundred i believe tuned it with crome and bought some new injectors his car made just over three hundred whp and ran low thirteens

the xs power kits on ebay seem to be quality kits as far as im concerned
the engine is still running mint and its been on for over a year

 

im not up 2 par on my turbo info 100% but turbonetics kit is a pretty good kit IMO. ive looked into their kits b4. but that ebay link has alot of VECCO parts to finish of the kit. thats where I would be concerned. plus in the description they say "Run your car HARD and don't worry about the turbo!" that alone scared me off. lol

back on topic. keep in mind the FRM cylinder walls cant take regular forged pistons. if you plan to be upping boost and rebuilding the internals. you can run those kits on ur stock car without changing ne thing, although its recommended to upgrade internals.

 

ok lets say i try to mix and match my own turbo kit around how much will i spend, and does anyone have any good sites. im kinda on a budget because i have a baby on the way in april yes i know im 19 i started early thats y i was kind of interested in the 1800 kit thanks again for everyone's advise

 

Try looking at the Forced Induction forum. Soooo many good links in there about all your turbo needs.

As for cost, I don't think $1800 is enough if you want to do turbo right. You still need to save some more.

 

Those kits are all junk.

I actually have a custom kit for sale if you want to take a look:

i cant believe why ask the same exact question that was just asked like the same week and hope for different results .......even a search would have cleared this up.

 

The ebay kits that people warn against are the XS power kits that are $800. The weaknesses on those kits are the turbo, manifold, and wastegate.

Since the turbo and wastegate are both 100% authentic Turbonetics, and the manifold is cast (very strong) I see no problem with this kit. They just cut cost where it wasn't necessary and used a basic IC, pipes, etc. The only problem with this kit is that it does not include fuel upgrades, but not many kits do.

I have researched these kits for years, and if it makes you feel any better, I would trust that kit on my car. I say go for it.

As far as a fuel pump goes, a Walbro 255lph (plenty for 8-10 psi) is only 90 bucks. I would also recommend 370cc+ injectors. For tuning, pick up a chipped P28/P72 or just chip your P14. I recommend Crome or Hondata.

That kit shown in the auction is NOT for a prelude. You can tell by how the intercooler piping is routed. I would still stay away from that pos.
