Lets say you were on a budget of 1k-1.5k, what would you do to maximize as much power as you could at this budget. Thanks.

 

that wont really get you anything. that wont even cover your basic i/h/e

 

At the 1.5k mark I'd say hondata and a decent header. Bare minimum hondata, makes the car not suck.

 

skunk2 alpha header/skunk2 intake/full race exhaust would come right about 1.5k and would be a nice increase in power!

 

I've been out of the game for awhile..and came to find out the source i used to purchase the majorty of my aftermarket parts has gone out of business. Any input as to where to purchase the above suggestions without taking a bath on price.

 

well i order most of my stuff from Teknotik but they are in Canada... you being in the states I would look at maybe some of the vendors on HT here. I believe you could buy most of the stuff i mention straight from the companies themselves though...

 

www.hptautosport.com

i buy damn near everything from them. best prices i've seen on everything.

 

Flashpro + intake/header

 

go with a budget header. you can get a PLM header (kiddracing) off ebay cheap like 300 bucks cheap.

Then go to vitviper on 8thcivic and get the FP + tune deal. I believe you might have some money left over which you can spend on a decent CAI like aem, k&n, injen.

 

1.5k I could have it turbo'd and tuned.

you guys don't know how to shop.

legit parts too.

 

if you get lucky buying a good deal used off someone?

 

You're a more retarded (if that's even possible) version of JoeBlue.

A Flashpro is definitely the place to start. It's $700 new, or you can find a used one for $500-550. From there, use whatever is left over for a CAI and exhaust. Finally, get a header once you have all of that.

 

FTFY.

Anyone could turbocharge it for 1.5k...but having something that wont blowup once you take it over 6k rpms is a different story.

 

If buying new parts, a Flashpro alone is $700. That leaves $300-800 for the tune (labor cost), and the entire turbo setup. I don't know if you can even find a quality turbo by itself for that price.

 

$1500 for a boosted and tuned k series from scratch that wont blow up the first time you hit vtec?




i'm doing it wrong apparently

 

Theres really only so much you can do before you have to do some head work or change pistons just internals. You can make sure you are getting the coldest air possible through the intake, get a high flow exhaust but be carefull you need some back pressure if your engine is stock you can actually lose power. Honestly if I was on a 1.5k budget I would just get some cams and build the head. 3 angle valve job and shave it to up the compression. if you did it yourself u would save on labor costs

 

all that and you still dont have anything to tune with

 

Most K20z3s can handle up to about ~420hp on stock internals. But to get over that hump you need significant work.

 

******* retard, go back to mazdas

 

**** you.


My car, my honda right now, I have my turbo kit almost complete.

AEM fic, RB25DET FM intercooler, piping, Apexi bov, ecu, turbo manifold, Borg warner S200SX, gates timing belt, felpro head gasket, 4x NEW siemen Deka 650cc injectors

I've only spent 730$ so far.

So go **** yourself.

Learn how to ******* shop retard.

AEM FIC ( free I had one )
RB25DET intercooler 50$
piping : 40$
apexi bov : 90$
ecu 25$
turbo manifold : 175$
Borg warner S200sx : 150$ ( REAL BORG WARNER ) ( luckily I can get these for amazing prices due toa company that I know. want one? 500$ LMK )
gates timing belt : 70$
felpro head gasket: 70$
4x new injectors Siemen Deka EV1 shortie 650cc : 60$

Wanna keep this going ******? I can show proof of payments. bitch.

and for a decent turbo, if you can't get a T25 for under 100$ you're doing it all sorts of ******* wrong.

 

I know you're cool because you swear every other sentence

 

take your mediocre at best b-series knowledge and GTFO. the only thing worth a damn that you listed is that turbo

lol at recommending stuff like this for a k.

 

okay guy

" I'm so ******* hardcore, I don't celebrate 4th of july because it reminds me of how badass I was downrange getting blown up on the daily, Breakin necks and cashin checks"

I am going to say that to you any time you ever reply to me. just so you know. so don't even bother.

 

you're a ******* tool. once again showing your *** trying to come off as intelligent.

but go ahead and assemble your piece of **** non vtec b18 without thrust washers. they're not important.

 

had it assembled at a machine shop thanks.


without thrust washers.

just to spite you.
