Hey guys and maybe a few girls, i was wondering how much it would be to build a junkyard turbo kit for my sohc ..and if you are really nice since i dont kno much about the f/i world you can list the parts ill need thanks alot

 

I spent 2000 on parts. THis includes all the turbo parts along with clutch/flywheel/ exhaust, EVERYTHING.

Also, do a search for the parts. You'll learn along the way. It's worked the best for me.

 

There's plenty on that topice at http://www.turbod16.com

 

thanks guys

 

I spent about $1000 for a d16z6 w/ tranny and all the turbo parts.

-turbo is a T25 from a nissan. it's small and spools fast..like 8psi at 3k
it was about 180 from some kid that got it on e-bay

-manifold- VX manifold from an engine left over from someones swap i did.

-adapter plate to attach civic manifold to turbo flange. Got a scrap of 1/2" mild steel and made this and the discharge flange. lots of grinding and cutting (sawzall with metal cutting blades and cutting oil work great ) it was fun too.

-all the piping is 2" mandrel bends from turbo to IC and 2.25" from IC to throttle body. Down pipe is 2.5" mandrel U bend. I welded everything with a cheap oxy/acet torch. couplers are made from truck radiator hose from napa. $18 makes 3 straight and one 90 degree coupler. the pipes were about 70 from jegs

- the front mount IC is off a scab vigen. got the part # from here somewhere. It's like 27x7x2.2". 189 list price and my buddy got it for me for 118 shipped. Fits on my 93 hatch perfectly. Metal bumper is fully intact

-got a set of eclpise 450cc injectors and a 1st generation eclipse BOV for $60. Apexi vafc was like 350 i think. resistor box from prelude was $5

-oil feed kit was like $55 and I needed new crush washers and has to weld the fitting on the turbo end. return is just some 5/8" id steel tubes with a rubber oil hose between them.

-there are a few other little things and of course the motor for my setup. It all came out pretty cheap. I have 4100 into my car including the car. I woop on WRX STIs and porsches at the auto-X and pull on lots of 'sports cars' on the street and especialy in the corners. $1000 for turbo and d16 swap - $1700 for the DX hatch - $1200 for Tanabe sustec pro SS - +a couple hundred for some 15" rota slips w/ azenis. it's cheap and it's fast in more ways than one.

If you kinda know what you are making you can do it cheap and learn a lot more than just putting a pre-made kit together.

Go get the book 'maximum boost' by Corkey Bell. It will help you emensely and anwser your questions. Thats how i did it and am very happy with it...for now

 

1200 including my first w/b dyno tuning.

td04L off '02 wrx-180
std/hf manifold-15
resitorbox and clips-free
starion fmic that i had the endtanks modified-15
jc whitney mandrel bends for charge pipes-45
jc whitney mandrel bends for custom dp-30
silicone couplings from http://www.turbopiping.com-60

stuff since going turbo:
heat sleave-50
techedge wb02 unit/controller-279
bosch wbo2 sensor-36
palm pda-90

stuff i need since going turbo:
spec stage 2 clutch-299

i could keep listing things i want/need, but that is the basic list of the path i've gone. i could have done it cheaper, but i began to get impatient and wanted to get it done with.

good luck!

 

i got..

garret straight t3
deltagate turbonetic external wastegate
custom manifold
dsm 450cc injectors
vortech BOV
spearco FMIC
apex-i VAFC
boost gauge
EGT gauge + probe
greddy turbo timer
missing link
b&m FPR + gauge

everything cost me $1090. but i didnt get exhuast piping yet. and im planning to use hoses for my IC piping.
