I really want to get into the FI scene. For a custom kit, how much do you think you can get one together for. Keep in mind I want decient components. It is for a 01 B18C1. This is a daily driver, not much for the track.

 

DSM inejectors, BOV....$100-200
get ur stock header flange changed out to a flange to fit a turbo....$100 tops
Afc hack...$240 for price of S-AFC (Vafc)
DSM intercooler.....$100
custom exauhst piping...$450-600
Bends to make intercooler piping...$150
oil line kit....~$150
1st gen gsx/tsi 14b turbo (comes with internal wastgate)... $100-200


thats the cheepest way pretty much to do a turbo kit...comes out to about $1700.. the cheepest and most fairly reliable way i can think of.

 

Intercooler piping can be had for 74 bucks shipped from http://www.jcwhitney.com

2 of these = 81ZX3031U 180 Degree Mandrel-Bent Aluminized Tubing -13.95
1 of this = 81ZX2953P 90 Degree Mandrel-Bent Aluminized Tubing 9.95
1 of this = 81ZX3035N 180 Degree Mandrel-Bent Aluminized Tubing 22.95

JB WELD is your friend when going ghetto

Oil feed / return lines could be had for 50.00 bucks....

 

Is any of this good.

email me if i can find the file i made for my friends ill send em tto you. 1 thing tahts very vital is learning how to weld or else itll tack on another 2-300 easily. let me know ill help you out with a turbo kit

 

This is my list:

14b, great condition- $60
Custom Manifold- $80
Custom Downpipe- 60
FMU- 75
Fuel Pump- 30
IC Pipes- Free
DSM Smic- 55
DSM BOV- 35

Thats all i have right now, but i got all that for under 400 bucks. It took me 4 months, you have to be patient and wait to find good deals. And being able to bargain with people doesnt hurt.

 

Cool guys. I guess I should just go do some number crunching and figure out what turbo trim I want to look for. I am going for a more streetable approach. SO a Big T3 or a small Hybrid might be something I will look for. What do you guys think?

 

Thats how much it should be if you do a tad bit of searching, and are patient. If you go up to the $2000 mark, if you look in the f/i classified, I've seen complete kits go for that, and thats with a decent manifold, T3/4 Turbo, BOV, Wastegate, intercooler, plus odds and ends....you would still need fuel management.

Do you have a budget, or an amount your trying to stay within?

 

Dude don't listen to all the cheap guys who buy all that dsm crap

For about 2 grand you can get 80-90% all new components(quality stuff) All it takes is patience, hookups, contacts, searching countlessly in classifieds. I put together a high quality kit, wiht 90 % new stuff, for under $2,500. ONe 3 parts of mine i decided to get the btter ones so i could have done the kit for about $500 less, but chose to get better parts

 

Garrett t3/t04e $500-$525 FI classifieds
Revhard manifold $300 FI classifieds
Revhard downpipe $150 Check any local revhard dealer
Tial 38mm $210-215 Importparts.com
Greddy type S/Hks bov $175 Ebay or FI classifieds
Piping $78 shipped for me Jc whintey
Couplers http://www.atpturbo.com $6 per straight $17.50 reducer.transition
Clamps $3.79 T bolt turbo clamps http://www.vecco.net
Oil Lines $130 Flamenco-T
Intercooler Spearco, boostcoolers(ebay) $325-$350, or i got precision FMIC $360
Theres something to get you started. This isnt a comploete budget setup, but those are nice proven products for a descent price. Its all about finding good deals

 

Here's my current setup list w/ prices:

Garrett T3- $50
Revhard mani- $300
Revhard FMIC w/ piping- $600
GReddy Type S BOV- free (trade)
GE oil adapter- $90
RX7 460cc injectors- $50
VAFC- free (trade)
GReddy Profec B- $200 (bought this a LOOOONG time ago)
Misc oil feed/return lines- $120
Misc. fittings- $20
Pan tapping/welding- $10
Primary charge pipe & WG dump tube- $120

Running total: $1560

And that's no cheapo DSM/ghetto kit either, I mean the revhard mani and FMIC are , and the GE oil adapter kicks *** (makes installation soo much easier!)!

Like quikB18B said, be paitence, search, make contacts.. you'll find the deals if you look hard enough

 

**** 2000 bucks, im a poor 17 year old.... ill stick with my dsm kit

 

i think it was hondatunning did a kit for 300 but it was for a D motor. good luck

 

I'm soo glad we've got a pull-a-part here. I helped a friend put a setup together that he's currently running on for $300

Saab T3 used: $46.85
Saab intercooler: $13.90 (convinced them it was an evaporator core )
Volvo adjustable blow-off valve w/flange $4.95
Saab/volvo factory hosing/piping $25.00
miscellaneous thiefed oil fittings/pipes $free
high pressure oil hose from advance $5.50
fittings from ace hardware $6.00
used greddy blue box off ebay $55.00 (shipped)
T3 adapter flange off ebay $20.00 (shipped)
my ghetto fab welding skills on his no-name header and the bov flange $free (cost him beer though :D)
install time $free
boost gauge and air/fuel gauge $125.00 off ebay shipped


and there you have it. He's running the stock saab setting of 8psi and it's running just fine all day long!

actual total on the list is $302.20 but add on about $25 for other miscellaneous supplies such as high temp paint and a few gaskets and cleaners we bought for it all also that I just can't remember pricing.

 

damn...i just spent a little over $3000 on my setup
