In this industry most anything has been tried at least once. Its achievable to build a low budget setup if thats what your looking to do. You don't need to run an intercooler but its going to make more power if you do. You can put together a budget setup for around 1,000-1,500 dollars but I can't stress this enough, YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. If you can find quality used parts then thats your best bet. Tuning and the proper fuel setup is by far the most important part of a boosted honda.

 

seriously, start with proper fuel setup and tuning solution, spend money there and get good stuff, then cheap out on the rest of the ish if you must...

 

when you say fuel and tuning you mean like a k pro? or an ems, or something you can do with out a new ecu or stand alone? thanks

You need some type of EMS to tune with, you don't HAVE to use Kpro but it's the best, you can also use Greddy E-manage if you wish.
