UPDATED THIS PAGE AS OF 10/16/2007
UPDATE: EVERYTHING IS PAID AND BOUGHTEN
So, I've been eager to boost my car for quite a while now, and finally I'm going to be able to do it! First things first, here's my parts list of everything that I'm going to get or that I already have:
Ebay brand Intercooler: $115 --

Intercooler charge piping: $150

Custom Downpiipe and dumptube (w/ 02 bung) $280 on special

Log manifold w/ lifetime warranty for $285 shipped

I have ordered this!.
Walboro 255 fuel pump kit: $88 shipped
I have this!>.

Totally rebuilt fuel injectors DSM (450cc) with resistor box and obd 2 plugs: $166 shipped
I have this!.

New garrett t3/t4 turbo: $560 shipped
ORDERED!.

I have this!
NRG step 1 colder spark plugs (NGK BKR7E (DOHC)
Stock No. 6097
or
NGK BCPR7ES
Stock No. 3330
NGK ZFR7F11 (SOHC): $16

38MM Tial External Wastegate: $229 shipped
I have this!

Autometer 2 Gauge Pod: $37 shipped
I have this!.

AutometerBoost + Oil pressure Gauges: $110 shiped
I have these!.

Greddy Type RS S B.O.V.: $180
I have it!

Silicone couplers/t-bolts: $40 -- Have some already
Partially complete.

Crome: $100
Need it.
Oil Line Kit $65
Need to order.

Apexi Turbo Timer: $110
I have this item>.

Also ordered:
Golden Eagle Vacuum Manifold: $29 shipped
p28 ecu: $115 shipped
BoomSlang Conversion Harness (obd2 to obd1): $90 shipped
Tune @ Dave's: $100 one time charge
My plan is to be boosted within 2-5 months, and I'll probably be at 5-9PSI on my "temporary" setup; basically whatever psi that will get my at least 180WHP, to 190WHP. This will be it until another motor is built/rebuilt and swapped in... Then I will sell my turbo & turbo manifold in favor of a turbo ram-horn manifold, Spearco intercooler, a custom 3 inch exhaust all the way back, and a t3/t4 turbo at 15-19PSI on drag radials!! (There are a lot of unmentioned things -- like an Exedy Stage 2 clutch with pressure plate and Fidanza flywheel -- I'll be doing before doing this, it's a secret, muhahaha!)
My goal is to make low 12s to 11s on 280-360WHP

Haha, yeah I'm not installing those until I go with my larger setup. That got stuck in there because I was sorting everything from a large list of my entire setup.

Only thing I will suggest is to rethink the downpipe, they crack easily and are cheaply made. Also look into a place where you can order all the parts to save some money,

Why post a picture then of random stuff then ? No I did not read it but did not see the point. Just tossing out a tip.
Either way good luck with your build

I see your point, thanks. I was kinda in a rush to pop this up, and couldn't find any good shots off hand.. I will change it now.

thanks alot bro. it says 300-320hp though. i have a 1993 honda civic del sol that has a b18c1 swap out of an integra gs-r, edge performance heat wrapped headers, cold air intake, skunk2 intake manifold, and yonaka motorsports full cat-back exhaust system. it probably has about 200whp right now... i probably need a larger hp turbo, right? or will this be okay on there?

I doubt your at 200hp, maybe around 180 if that.
