hey hows it going guys. Im building my own turbo cause i dont have 3 grand to spend. I have a Integra GSR 1999 and im doing this turbo for autoX and daily driving. Im not going to the track any time soon so ya.

so far I have these things:

Turbo Garret T25
Full-Race Turbo Manifold

Now i know i need more stuff but im not exactly sure waht i need. I know i need:

IC piping
IC
Waste Gate

I live in Socal CA, I have about 1500 left to spend for the turbo set up. Im going to run about 8 PSI. I need help on what else to buy what i need if anyone has a good IC for the turbo im getting? what is good but cheap. and so on. Im new to turbo. Im going to try to put it in my self but im not sure about that yet.


If you have any words of advice please help. I know the search button is there but this is directly from what im building and i need help.

Thanx
Kirk

 

Looks like you need to search. If I were you - I'd look at a turbo kit... and see what comes with that. That'll give you a good idea on what you need for parts.

Some things off the top of my head are:
IC
Wastegate
Downpipe
Injectors
Fuel Management
Blow off valve
Turbo Timer
Boost Controller

Just check around... I'm sure I missed something.

 

whatever you do, get a good fuel management setup. id honestly buy that now, its the MOST important part of a good turbo setup.

definately

also, you can find great buys from ben@importparts.com, arturbo, flamenco-T and check the forced induction classifieds.

if you only have 1,500 to spend. then, id look for a guy in your area that is good with uberdata. its basically the same thing as hondata except its basically free (except the tune of course, but your going to need to do that anyway). im sure since your in cali you could find someone. grab a tial wastegate from ben@importparts.com, you can get a greddy bov or a tial bov, etc. you can either custom make your own piping and downpipe or buy one offline (just make sure it fits and bolts up correct). You don't need a boost controller if you don't want one. A dumptube for your wastegate unless you plan on routing it back into your exhaust. Your going to need a ton of bolts/nuts, etc. Make sure you weld your oil line and don't go cheap there, leaks are the worst. As far as injectors i'd recommend RC 550cc saturated injectors, this way here you don't need the resistor box....thats what im running.

goodluck. im sure there is a bunch more stuff everyone can help you with.
