This will be my first time puting together a turbo setup and would like opinions on the parts and prices i have picked for my goal.

Car-
1991 acura integra GS
5 speed, a/c , power sterring

Goal-
Maximize performance while retaining daily use, a/c and power steering. Most geared towards street use and autocross racing.

Current Mods-
http://www.project-integra.com
This turbo setup will be the ONLY performance mod when finished. it will go onto a stock B18A1 with 160k miles. ALL maintenance has been done.

Grocery List-
Garret T3/04e trim 50 A/R .63 --- new $549(cheapturbo.com)
BMC manifold /w external wastgate --- new $160
BMC a/c compatible downpipe --- $40
Johnnyracecar 30x6x2 FMIC --- new $240
Tial 38mm wastegate 6psi --- used $200
Greddy Type S BOV --- used $150
Stealth's oil line kit --- $100
Chipped PR4 /w TurboEdit --- $200 for everything (burner, chips, pcm...)
DSM 450cc injectors --- used $50
Charge Pipes --- $150 local shop
Misc --- $200 (gauges, adapters, gaskets, plugs, fittings etc...)

And thats to get her up and running

future mods will be added to this... boost controller, turbo timer, yada yada. So there it is. I should be just under 2 grand for everything. My main concern is my turbo size. is it too big? i'm only going to rev limit at 7500 so a small spool time would be better for me. Any parts that you know of work better for what I want than what I listed? you know of any place to find them cheaper? anything i left out? let me know!!
thanks!!!

Your figures seem kinda low.

 

Yea, the manifold and downpipe look wayyy too low, although I did buy my near complete turbo kit for $1600, and sold a complete bolt on kit for $900.

whooot wooot.... yea mine should be here tomorrow, good choice

your $$$ does seem low on the mani and dp. plus the #1 everyone will tell you on this board is spend the extra dollar the first time. if you end up having to go back it will be because of a blow motor and thats not good far anyone.

Just wanted to give you a few .
You provided the necessary info to help you with your turbo set-up and it looks like you've even done your research. Wish more people would follow your lead.

 

160k.......... damn...... good luck thou!

 

Here's some items that you may or may not have thought about. Youre probably gonna want a 3" exhaust ($200-500), turbo timer($50-75), manual boost controller ($60-150), vacumm manifold ($20), couplers and clamps ($60-100), Wideband AF to tune your car, Resistor box ($20), Gauge Pod ($15-60), Vacuum Hose, ect... Im in the process of doing the same thing as you. Ive been trying to research it but havent found much info, you could go with a used T3 (depending on your goals).

 

I also recommend getting a PM6 instead of a PR4, Everyone is doing development on PM6 ECU's, so if u use ur pr4 you wont get much support. All the boosted turboedit guys are using PM6 ECUs

 

wow thanks for all the replys guys!! yes Alchemist, those parts have been well thought out will be included afterwards. and my manifold and downpipe? a guy makes them and is hooking me up with the pair since im gonna buy them both. its a very nice piece for the price. here are a couple pics:

 

Hey, nice list. Been doing similar research to turbo my B18b in my CRX. One thing....you might want to look at larger injectors. A B18 can max out 450's easily. Lean condition under full boost is not a good thing.

if you do indeed buy the BMC manifold, please post pics...I'm interested to see the fitment on the B-series motors(since he only shows it on the D series)
