Hey everybody,

I just got done writing up a list off all the stuff I'm gonna be getting in the following weeks.

For now my plans are to run 7 PSI and make ~250-275 WHP on 91 octane, and stock internals (for now). Shortly after all the turbo stuff is installed I want to get a Quaife and an ACT HD PP and 6 puck disc.

But to run 7 PSI initially I believe that this is all the stuff I will need. The only things I need help selecting is the ignition system and what vacuum lines to get and where to get them.

I have about $2000-$2500 to get the rest of the parts, I'm thinking that should be enough to cover the parts and labor (to fab up a new DP & exhaust).

EDIT: changed my budget, because now I have a spare short block coming my way

WOOHOO!!!

yea you forgot one thing. u forgot to give it to me hehe jk

 

From what I have been hearing, Skunk 2's cam gears are ligher. They also have more bolts so they have less chance of slipping. nice set up...wish i could afford thatr about now

 

I made a post about it....yes they are lighter...

 

Thanks for the info about the cam gears guys.

For anyone else that cares, my budget just went down to $2000-$2500, because now I am also buying a spare bottom end from one of my fellow PO.com members.

So do you guys think I will still be able to buy all that stuff for $2000-$2500?

TIA

 

i have been reading on PO.com about as long as you have and i just so happen bought a custom kit from the co owner of this board for my prelude the same time you bought yours and i think the only major thing you are forgetting is a clutch cause you can kiss your stock one goodbye i got myself a fidanza fly and action stage 2ks from a groupbuy here on h-t if you want email me and ill email you a spreadsheet of all the **** i have bought and stuff i have yet to get to be finished


edit i just noticed the clutch in the top line sorry

item list looks good.... but you should look into the techedge wideband unit, it's a lot cheaper.... i ordered mine like 2 weeks agon, and got it 2 days ago, it's a nice system, and will save you some cash to put towrds something else

 

ziggity,

Did you know that I tried to outbid you for Mike's turbo kit? hehehe

I practically begged him to sell it to me, I offered to pay him $2500-$2700 for his kit, and I offered to pic it up from him. I can say this without even seeing his kit that you got a really got deal. I just wish I had offered to buy his kit 2 days sooner...so let me just say you had better not back out of your turbo project otherwise I'll be pretty upset

BTW what spreadsheet program are you running? I would be interested in seeing your part list as well. You should also post it on here, that way you, me and everybody else can compare them.

Boost97Lude,

Isn't there a backlog of people trying to order the techedge? that was the reason I put FJO down. I know of a place where I can get an FJO for about $750, but I'm not getting it right away.

right now I need to start shopping around for the best price for my shopping list. I'm gonna be ordering my AEM EMS from B18Bturbo in the morning, then I'm also ordering some of the miscellaneous parts (injectors, flanges, BOV, etc).

right now here is my timeline for my turbo project:

@ Feb 01-Feb 15 completed buying parts, fabbing up misc. parts, install turbo, get it tuned on a dyno
@ Apr 15-Apr 30 install ACT HD & 6 puck, install Quaife LSD, Install FJO(or tech-edge)
@ Jun 1-Jun 15 completed building spare block, swap out bottom end, turn up the boost

like i said..... i bought the assembled techedge, and i recieved it about 2 weeks after i ordered it, i got the v1.5, whether that makes a difference or not, i paid like $300 for the unit, and another $250 for the O2.... i bought mine for the autotune feature on the AEM EMS

 

also... what kind of autometer universal cups are you buying, and where are you mounting them? i kinda need a few more guages myself

 

oh, and why do you need an EGT guage?

hey ziggity, um... why are you using a P28 ECU, shouldn't you be using a P72?

 

the p28 is much cheaper and basically if i want to use the secondary butterflies i can get a rpm window switch and i have a J&S so the lack of a knock sensor in the P28 doesnt bother me but i am not convinced i will see significant gains by using a P72 over a P28

 

well, if you decide you want a P72, i have one, but with hondata, you can elminate the knock sensor anyways
