may be cheaper to build a kit but might not be as reliable as a kit made for it

that is correct. What kit were you planing on getting? I didn't know anyone made a kit yet for the d-series engines in an EF chasis

d00d a home made kit is dirt cheep compared to a kid.

ya figure i got mine for:
65 std manifold
110 turbo
190 FMIC
100 for pipes (im welding and cutting and all that stuff my self)
free ecu tuning from my boy (ill hook him up some how for this)
then probably another max 200 for the lil stuff im not listings

so say 6-700 bux maybe a lil more and you can build it. or spend like 1500 for a bought kit.

Actually A custom kit surpasses any pre-built kit.
You can buy higher quallity items then what come to you in a kit.
If you do it <U>right</U> then you can have a kit that:
1. Provides More Power
2. More Reliable
3. Beter Quality
4. Safer

I wouldnt buy a kit.
