well guys im thinking of buying a greddy turbo kit for my jdm d15b what u guys think of that kit this would be my first turbo car would it spool fast egnough and is it hard to install a kit?

 

A kit is no different from piecing together the parts yourself, there's just a convenience/brand name diffy. That sounds like a good setup for your d15b. Boost @ 5-8psi, dyno tune it and call it a day.

 

which is better piace a kit or buy a whole kit?

 

Since you don't know much about turboing your car, it's a better idea to just buy a turbo kit.

 

ok sweet i know the kit does not come with the intercooler but what else should i get because when i install it i need to drive it to the tuner cft here in florida?

 

You must have the following:

Turbocharger: Pick which size and trim turbo is gonna work best for your application and goals
--> Exhaust Manifold: Either log/cast/equal length. Make sure it was made for your turbo (t3, 4bolt, 5bolt, dsm, etc.)
--> Downpipe: Again must be custom for your turbo/manifold choice. A flex pipe and o2 bung are nice to have while creating a downpipe
--> Wastegate: Choose a wastegate size (also what psi spring you'd like to run) according to application such as amount of air flow and psi from turbo
--> Intercooler: Choose either a FMIC (Front Mount InterCooler) or Side Mount Intercooler. Fmic is more bling bling :D as well as better cooling
--> Blow off valve: This is acutally an opional (but very recommended part). Doesnt really matter which one you choose. Pick a sound you like
--> Fuel Manegment: One of the most important parts on your turbocharged car. I would highly suggest running a programable chiped ecu or standalone device, but running a AFC hack controller can be used as well
--> Fuel Pump : You will probably need an upgraded fuel pump to support the added fuel consumption. Can be either internal or external
--> Injectors : To support added air induction, more fuel is need... hence bigger injectors. Buy size according to application
--> Map Sensor: Stock maps can only read up to ~10.63 psi, if you plan to go higher upgrade to a 2bar or 3bar map sensor
--> Intercooler Piping: You can buy a ic piping kit, but usally will always take some modification to fit your exact application
--> Couplers/t-bolts: You will need silicone couplers to bind the two ic pipes together as well as t-bolts (or screw clamps which i dont recommend) to tighten those couplers down
--> Oil drain/feed lines: Every turbo needs oil, so you must buy an oil feed and drain line kit. ss lines are recommend
--> Vacuum Manifold: Not required but recommened to help organize vacuum lines and allow for good vacuum sources
--> Gauges: although not required, it's highly recommend so you can keep some status of motor operation. boost/oil pressure highly recommened
--> Spark plugs: Although not required, turbo temps can get high, so i recommend you step down two steps colder in your spark plugs. Also copper to

 

thanks man for the help
