Im finally looking to put a turbo kit in my 96 b16a2 swapped hatch. Ill start out by saying it is my DD and i'm by no means looking to run some crazy amount of boost. Correct me if im wrong but i've read that if you keep it under 7psi then there is no need to change internals. Also the kit does NOT need to be PS or AC friendly. Finally and most important, budget. Looking to stay under $2000 if possible. Looking for advice from people that actually have a turbo installed.

 

keep saving

you would still need an adequate form of engine management as well ie. hondata, chipped ecu w/chrome/Neptune etc

u can also piece together a kit yourself for well under $2k if you know what your looking for.

Last thing, you should not base things off your psi. psi levels are different for each turbo. you should set a whp goal instead.

you wont get advice if you don't do some research on your part

 

OP:
keep searching and reading the FAQ because its apparent that you dont understand that boost/psi/lbs has nothing to do with anything. not trying to be rude but going into the turbo realm isnt always friendly

 

Not happening if you do it right.

 

X2

 

sure isn't

 

Well nvm then. Thanks for talking me out of it guys lol. Guess I'm going NA

 

NA is an even bigger money pit. you should probably just leave it stock.

 

X2. I just got out of the NA game, I'm glad I did. 400 whp feels much better the. 200whp

 

So if im only looking to get around 200-250hp, I can't do that for under $2000?

 

Ebay.

 

...And not destroy my engine

 

if you want to create power where it doesnt exist, your going to have to spend the money to get there. modding vehicles isnt cheap, you can do i/h/e and think you have massive gains. all real power is made internally, which means you have to spend real money and spend some real time looking to what you want to do

 

Start browsing the Marketplace for deals. You do, however, have to know what it is you're looking for.
Otherwise, nothing.

 

do it right the first time and avoid a lot of problems. this isn't to discourage you, but you have to know up from that it's an expensive road to take
