Custom Turbo or Kit?
Working on a fully built CRVTEC here.
It's got a 99 Si/SiR B16A head with valve springs, ss valves, crower stage 2 turbo cams, skunk2 cam gears, skunk2 intake mani, arp head bolts, port and polished and a 5 angle valve job.
Block is a B20, sleeved with Golden Eagles Godzilla sleeves, eagle rods with arp rod bolts and JE pistons sporting a 9.5:1 CR. Car will be tuned with AEM EMS.
This thing will take some serious power so I'm wondering what kind turbo, manifold and fuel stuff I should run? Or should I just get a kit?
I want to be able to make some serious power here.

Re: Custom Turbo or Kit? (patdemps)
I would buy a decent used kit. Less headace and hastle. It all depends on you budjet. If you got the money then do it.
I wouldnt bother with the port polish thing. It doesnt do alot for fi compared to the cost to do it. But if you got the money every pony counts. Im sure it wont matter from the power you can make form this set-up.
Good luck,
Mike.

why less headache and hassle? put together kits are the ones you always change eventually down the road. your "better off" piecing a kit together, better products and more power......

Re: Custom Turbo or Kit? (The G2 Racer)
stick with a lot of people on here, they sell great parts!!
Flamenco-T with the bad *** stainless steel feed/oil return lines
Tinker219 or FFgeoff for tight manifolds
ebay or johnnyracer or tryus intercooler (I got one 31 X 6 X 2.75 for $300)
Precision or cheapturbo for turbo
JC whitney buy a bunch or u bends to make intercooler piping (i got for $70)
Roadraceengineering.com for silicone couplers/t-bolt clamps
Better injectors (I got DSM 450cc's and resistor box for $20 from Junkyard)
BUY HONDATA OR AEM EMS!!!
Just use the search buttom a lot!! There's other **** but I was just thinking off my head.
I think a custom kit is better cause you get the better parts that you WANT the first time!!
