To make a long story short I've been researching where to get parts to turbocharge my car. I think I've just about got everything down. Now I'd like to know if any of you know where I can find any of this stuff for cheaper than I've already found. Here's what I'm still looking to buy, with the prices from the places that I've found the parts:

TiAL 40mm Wastegate - $330 from importparts.com
3" High Flow Cat - $95 from importparts.com
3" Flex Pipe - [waiting on price from importparts.com]
Thermal R&D 3" Cat Back - $525 from importparts.com

Pusher Fan - $75 from AutoZone
Spearco Intercooler - around $350 from eBay
Misc. Mandrel Bent Pipe for Charge Pipe and Down Pipe - $125 from jcwhitney.com
Oil feed & Return Lines - $125 from Flamenco-T here on HT
Silicone Connectors - Around $100 from turbocharged.com
Stainless Steel T-Bolt Clamps - Around $100 from turbocharged.com

I've already got the turbo, 550cc injectors, ECU, BOV, and I'm getting Hondata through Mahdavi.

The things I really would like to find for less are:

SS T-Bolt Clamps
Silicone Connectors

If you know where I can get these or any of the other parts for less, help a brother out.

 

Dropshop could help ya. HAHAHAHA god I crack myself up!

(btw I'm kidding..dont go there)

 

atpturbo.com, http://www.roadraceengineering...s.htm

 

http://www.dnaparts.com/hoses.htm
INTAKE Hoses (will be just as good as those high price couplers out there)
You have to call to order but most will be about $7.50-$12 depending on what you order. Very friendly and helpful on the phone too!

http://www.partssystems.com/sh...REEZE
Breeze SS T-bolts...very strong and very affordable!
#TB250 will fit over most couplers on a 2.5" OD pipe, make sure you realize that 2.5" is the MAX ID" of the T-bolt, I screwed up in that respect the 1st time I ordered.

 

I forgot to mention that I've already got a TiAL blow off valve and am getting a Sidewinder Manifold. Thanks for all the help on locating connectors and stuff guys!

 

Thanks again guys. I'm going to buy my T-Bolt Clamps from http://www.partssystems.com/sh...REEZE and I'm going to buy a 2' length of silicone hose from http://www.roadraceengineering...s.htm ...these places seemed to have the best prices.

You could also try http://www.vecco.net T bolt clamps are $3.79 there

for cheap precut silicone try http://www.atpturbo.com $6 for straights, and $17.50 for reducers, atp had the best prices on pre cut couplers.

Alos on the pusher fan i thouhg the autozone fans were only like $65, but for $75 you may look on ebay, they usulaly have Spal fans for around $75

 

you can get the fans from me for 57 shipped just as good.

mcmaster carr= 2.5" Nitrile Coolant tubing. It comes in 3' for a $27+shipping. Holds like 29psi or something and 200-300 degrees. Basically it will work no problem.

ATP MBC, ah ive heard too many great things about dawes devices, im buying one of those for like $30 or something.

Hondata......that alone is costing you $925(my mental math is probably off).

Now im looking at your setup, and im seeing this is your basic 300whp or less kit. why buy hondata when uberdata is free? Buy a plx devices WB, a chip burner. thats $400. chip your ECU yourself=$30, if you are afraid to, there are guys here and at pgmfi that do it for under $60. Basically you can do the whole fuel management WITH A WIDEBAND! for less than $500.

The reason i suggest the plx devices WB. Basically its small, fast as hell, has narrowband simulation which will basically allow your ECU to record WB values for the datalogging that will sooner or later be incorperated with uberdata.

If you are obd0, you are even better off. http://www.turboedit.org They already have datalogging and on the fly tuning is about a half a step away or full release, not sure at this point. basically, hondata is eating $1000 of your hard earned dollars. You said you wanted your kit to be DIY, well lets keep it DIY all the way. Uberdata or Turboedit

 

I'm obd-1. I am going to stay with Hondata because I know it well, it's proven, and it very expandable for larger HP capabilities in the future. Thanks for the info though!
