k well i have a few questions that i need to ask so i can get the rest of the parts

1....can i use a ebay intercooler and intercooler piping

2....can i use a ebay turbo manifold the cast manifold

3.....i will use a ebay bov with a synapse wg

4.....i will be using a garrett t3/4 which is best for a b16

5...hondata s300 rc450cc inj

 

FAQ!!!! read like there's no tomorrow. this topic and other info. you are trying to find can be found in the FAQ.

 

All that would work just fine, I use a 57 trim 63 ar on my b16 and am very happy with it, but it depends on your power goals on what turbo would be best

 

so thats a yes on ebay ic,turbo manifold,bov,and ic piping....

also i am not looking to make more then 240-250whp

 

i have a turbo setup just like that i just use crome instead of hondata

 

i could be wrong but im pretty sure the ebay manifolds are not too good.

 

1. Yes, Yes.
2. Use an ebay CAST manifold ONLY! The stainless ones are JUNK!
3.
4. The turbo will work nice.
5. Might as well go for bigger injectors(650's), your going to want more boost and it will suck to drop more $$$$$ on injectors.

 

my friend has one of these his fuel pump started going bad and for about his ebay stainless manifold would glow red from heat. it at 16psi it never cracked or anything he had about 40k miles on it

 

thx for all the replys i am amazed that the ebay cast manifold is any good i thought it would crack in a week...lol

also where can i get a cheap but good downpipe and should i go for a 2.5 or a 3in

 

I used an ebay. 2.5 intercooler kit, came with the piping, and a cheap blow off valve.

Currently running ::

Bone stock GSR motor,
cast exhaust manifold
Tial 38mm waste gate,
T1 saturated 1000cc injectors (E85) tune
Neptune RTP p72 ecu
3in dump for exhaust
Ebay 60-1 turbo-5 bolt exhaust flange (T3/T4)
Ebay intercooler

making a little over 400hp right now. it can be done, and can make good power.

But............ go for quality over just getting it done. Try to buy parts only one time, dont buy something cause its cheap, you may have to buy it twice.

 

yea well i will be buying things one at a time

k now i think we are talking about the same ic,piping,bov they are like 250 shipped and comes with a bov how does it sound and does it even work still..lol


anyways should i go with 3in or 2.5in downpipe

 

3in downpipe would be better. But buy the manifold and downpipe together, and make sure they'll work with the turbo you're getting.

I ran into an issue where the downpipe I bought wouldnt fit, because with my cast manifold my turbo sat against the block, so I had to rotate it so the exhaust turned to the driver's side. Thus the downpipe was now on the wrong side.

And yes, the blow and intercooler work great. The blow sounds like an cheap SSQ, but works fine. Does take about 3-5psi to get it to work though, but thats just the cheapness and a stiff spring. Mine is unscrewed all the way and it still takes about 3-5psi to make it blow off.

 

k so buy a turbo manifold and a downpipe together so that it fits thanx for the info i would of just bought a downpipe on the side thx

anyways do you guys know the cheapest website for a garrett,precision turbo

 

usually a group buy is the cheapest. Also check into Borg Warner turbos, they are becoming one of the best around, and many racing peoples are switching to them.

there are many performance shops that sell them. I believe T1 can get borg warners and many other brands at good prices. hit them up and find out. You'll need to do some research as to what size you'll be wanting before though.

Good luck.

 

is this any good or is this a big no no

thats not hideous, but I haven't heard anything god-awful about them.

Decent price for what you get. Again just make sure the turbo will fit with that application. I ended up just having a downpipe/dump made.

 

Your best bet would be to contact Greg at www.go-autoworks.com, very good pricing on BW turbo's. I would grab a cast mani, BW .55AR 57trim turbo, and have him make you a custom 3" downpipe(no 2.5" junk).
