hehe... i gotta agree with diego dangers... a turbo kit isn't something that you just slap on the car and you're done. It's not the impossible thing to do, but it sure ain't easy as buying a kit off ebay. Ask the people who have it on their car, what's their setup, where did they get, what parts, what details that you should be on the look out for and so on...

yup it's an f22b1 and you should do a lot more researching before you consider a turbo...especially if you are going to try and do it yourself. I have an f22b2 that is turboed and i spent months of researching day after day. It was not a simple task that's for sure. I did not buy a kit but so far i will have spent just under 3500 with a good tune and exhaust. It may vary for you. If you want a decent kit, I would go to http://www.treadstoneperformance.com. They have kits for our car there that are nice to start with. I believe it was like 2 grand or something and has most of what you need. BUT RESEARCH!

If you're a new to Hondas, I wouldnt jump into turbo set up. There are plenty other parts you can instal to increase your power output. I know its "COOL" to have a turbo on your car but so is smoking cigarettes,lol.
Im not trying to diss your decision, just trying to save you around $3000 and your engine.

True nowadays with bad economy and emission laws increasing if its a daily driver its kinda pointless. Not to mention harsh laws on street racing and prices of tickets going up. Trust me if you want speed save 4500 and buy a sportsbike

Incredibly true. I have gotten into Jetski to give me my speed fix. Unlimited fun on the water.
