Man that seems so cheap...can you make a list of your parts on it and how much you paid for each

 

my bro built his setup for 445.00. his name is civ616. PM him.

 

i paid $1200 and got full gsr sus(upgrades) and brakes, complete gsr interior, two week old gsr greddy kit with the biggy big intercooler-with blow off-with turbo timer-with three gauges-and with profecb. so if i were to just buy the turbo kit and turbo goodies, i would have only paid $800 to my friend who wrecked his gsr. i guess i accomplished a 1000 set up in a way?

 

450.00 BOOM haha got me form 16.57 to 14.800 with slipping clutch.
*cx manifold
*mazda 626 IHI turbo
*custom downpipe
*wastegate set @ 8psi
*12:1 FMU
*inline fuel pump
*boost/airfuel gauge
*conquest FMIC
*saab BOV
*custom charge pipes for know
*air filter came from the Honda Bike dealer
ONLY 2.25 exhaust so i think that will help when i get 2.5

scooter..what kinda wastegate is that

 

HKS.

How did you pull off only spending 1100 when the wastegate itslef is at least 200+ dollars. Not saying you didnt, you really did some shopping if you could pull off a turbo kit for only 1100 bucks including an HKS wastegate.

 

My whole setup was listed recently on here, just do a search with my name and you should pull it up.

Was titled something like "junkyard turbo kit on my R"

$1200 for the kit, including: Greddy TD04H turbo, Mani, Internal WG, Vortech 12:1 FMU, Greddy Black Box, Trust Intercooler/Piping, HKS BOV...

$3000 total in the car, and I'm hitting 13's this Wednesday; beat that

its all about getting the piping done for cheap. parts are easy to find.
think
saab
mits
ford thunderbird
volvo
and vw

somewhere i saw custom log mani's for 150 or 250.oo

its fun making your own kits

keep it up people! and help each other out!!!! thats what this is about

 

It really is, piping sucks...

 

so how much power does everyone make with their budget setups?

 

here's what i got so far as a budget set-up:

SMC- 100
manifold- 300
dsm injectors- 50
turbo- 150
oil lines- 100
smic- 50
downpipe- 150
bov- 50

so far that's $950

last thing needed is the piping but i don't know how much that will run. when going for a budget set-up, just like they said, look for DSM, Saab, Volvo, and Ford Thunderbirds. some of may be able to be found cheaper but this is what i got so far.

 

the best part about this setup is you dont gotta shell out all the money over once...i like that

 

always expect to pay more...

if you are on a really tight budget you shouldnt go turbo; something is bound to go wrong.

 

mine:

manifold w/ adapter plate - $5
96 eclipse t25 turbo - $120
starion FMIC - $100
HKS SSQV - $150
charge piping - $80
oil lines - $40
Vortech FMU - $50
Autometer Boost guage - $30
Custom downpipe - $100
Inline fuel pump - $65
Misc **** - $200

Total $790 dropped my 1/4 mile 2 seconds @ 9psi w/ slipping clutch

 

Getting 900$ next friday I wish someone could sell me there equiptment that works LoL
