hey guy i need a little help want to buy a turbo kit im on stock internals or i can get crower stage two cams with titanium valves and spring the turbo kit is from ebay my friend had bought one from ebay and had on problem with it.

thanks

 

well obviously a turbo setup is going to make more power than cams, but i'm not a fan of Ebay parts....save up and build a realy turbo setup...

 

dont buy ebay turbo's. your friend is lucky his hasnt taken a **** on him yet.

 

if you are going to get a turbo kit save up your money and buy a peakboost or full race kit it is def worth it

 

how much power would te cams give if i bought stage two crower shaft and could i run stock cam gears on it

 

piece together your own kit. you don't have to buy everything with peakboost's name on it. if you want get a name brand manifold and definitely a good turbo but you can find deals numerous other items you'll need that will cost you less than a full peakboost kit

Well whenver you go modifying it, that doesn't help the longevity of your engine. ESPECIALLY when you go forced induction.

What do you want to do with your car? Daily driver? Track beast, auto-X? What?

How much money do you want to spend?

How much CAN you spend?

Do you even know how a turbo functions and what it entails to own/maintain a turbo vehicle?

Not tryin to be a jerk, but you need to know what direction yoru heading whenever you start on a project. Figuring it out as you go will end up costing you more $$ than if you planned evrything out.

 

i know i want that as i daily but a friday night monster i know wat direction im goin with it we're pullin the motor and ima stroke it out to 2.0 and cam it. so when i have the money it'll be ready for my turbo

yeah you have a long road ahead of you

 

boost isn't for everyone...having a turboed car is a commitment and often a hassle....they also demand a lot of money. One thing i've learned is that you need to know your car really well because if you go to a repair shop, they have no clue either...

well to add to my post above....something i had edited in about 1 min after my original post, but my internet went down....

Boosted Hondas are a lot of fun. Once you have one, you get hooked on them...they're very fun street cars if done properly....just be sure that the money and time commitment is worth the "gains" in the end...

+1.

you should learn how to do everything you want to do to the car yourself. you will pay out the *** in labor for things like rebuilding your motor, installing the turbo and everything associated with that, etc. if you learn how to do it yourself, not only will you save yourself a **** ton of money in the process of actually getting it together, but you'll also benefit down the road because if you put it all together, you'll gain a sense of what certain parts do and what parts might you might need to fix when, not if, when you run into problems and you won't have to pay somebody ~$70-$80/hr just to look at your broken whip and tell you what you have to fix. if it is, at that point, something you want to have it professionally repaired once you find out where the problem is coming from, you can at least save that precious couple hundred bucks that you would've paid somebody else to do.

even if you go this route (diy build), you will still probably be broke as expletive... unless your just a straight baller and money isn't really an issue; because there are going to be things that you would want to have done professionally like the machine work for your block that would be associated w/your stroker kit, honeing it for your new pistons, and if you're already spending that much on a stroker kit and all that, you may as well go all out and fully build your head w/full valvetrain, new valve seals, guides, mill, clean, valve job, etc. so you'll see your cam's full potential, as well as the bill to balance and polish your crank.

even after spending all that money in machine shop bills, the money you will have saved by actually installing the parts yourself ie crank, bearings, rods, pistons, cams and valvetrain, turbo, oil lines, piping, etc. etc. etc., will be a decent chunk of change that you'll be able to spend on whatever you want: tools that you'll have forever and maybe some cool **** like a jdm front if you're into that, or 5 lug conversion, new paint job whatever you want.

oh, and learn how to weld too.

this is what i'm doing and am really ****** excited about opening up my motor and building it myself

 

i just came back to this thread and realized that that was a reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally long post

 

the fact that you think that buying a turbo kit will even be close to the cost of cams is a attestment to the fact that you should leave the **** alone. ebay turbo kits are junk...junk. you can't just drop in the cams either you will need to get the engine tuned afterwards

 

yeah ima do it myself wit sum help with my homies and well instead of turbo i think ima rebuilt , stroke and honned it and cam it then wait till i got the mo money for da turbo hows that sound

you're going to spend money on all motor cams and a stroker kit and a tune then redo it w/turbo stuff? i'd say just buy all the parts as you get money for them and build it turbo from the beginning. or go all out NA.
