What does everyone else think? With the RevHard kit, what else would I need? Fuel Management? Injectors?

 

The Kits go for about 3500, is it possible to get it done with better products for cheaper than the kit offers? Check this out, although im still not sure if it would be cheaper...

building a kit like that is stupid and is usually built with junk stuff. if you can't afford to keep up with it don't turbo it

 

Why is is stupid when you are using the same parts or better?

For the turbo I think i will be going with the t3/t4 hybrid, tial 35 mm waste gate, spearco intercooler, blitz bov, apexi power fc and timer, inline pro dp, and a hondata for fuel, I'll probably buy the turbo brand new and everything else used.

 

the apexi power fc is a tuning device similar to hondata. get one or the other, not both.

 

the link above shows a junk yard turbo system not stuff with inline pro parts you will need the inline pro manifold to run the DP and as was said earlier power fc and hondata do the same thing

 

If your not planning to go all out with a rebuild on the engine then just buy a brand name kit. You can always upgrade the turbo later if you prefer. Compiling a well built kit is easy on paper but not so easy when you are not the one installing and tuning it. I have seen many people try to create a solid kit and end up paying much more in the long run for garage time do to querks in the set-up. It is recommeded if you have experience with turbo kits (like me).

 

Can't I just bring it to shop and tune it? Ya, realized that I put Hondata and Power FC in the same post. :doh:

So far on paper I pieced this together:


$450- OBX Downpipe+Turbo Manifold
$449- Garrett T3/T4 Hybrid Turbo
Silicone hoses/Clamps
$300- Spearco Intercooler
Various Pipes
Oil line for turbo and various fittings for check valves, oil return etc...
$150 Blitz Blow off valve
$200 Tial 38mm Wastegate

I don't know if I can retain ac with the OBX, I may just go ahead and get inlinepro. I already bought the turbo brand new, Im just looking for some used parts on ebay right now. The t3/t4 cost me almost $500 and it should be hear after the holiday weekend.

Merry Christmas Everyone, if someone knows a reputable website with used turbo components, please let me know.

 

OBX= teh junk

 

buy a shitbird manifold
johnny racecar intercooler
tunertoys 450 injectors
tunertoys oil line kit
pretty much any name brand BOV- or you could run a DSM blow off valve
custom piping
custom downpipe
i would just use ubderdata for fuel management
gauges-atleast boost, oil pressure
misc-vacuum lines, t fittings, flanges, gaskets, spark plugs, oil,new oil filter, some sort of setup for the pcv valve
your also gonna have to do tweaking as well, such as clocking the compressor and the senter section, getting bumper to fit correctly, and simple shit like that
