i put this in the lounge for maximum exposure. Mods please move if necessary....

OK, heres the deal. I have about 3500 to spend on a turbo. (right now!!) i have been debating getting a kit, such as greddy, RevHard, and im sure you all know the rest. I have been doing some research and am slowly being convinced to go custom... i was wondering who has gone custom, what parts did they use, how much did they spend, and if they think that going custom was the correct choice over a kit.... Like i said, i have money now and its done burnt a hole in my pocket already... i need some answers!! Anybody with info can either post, or it would be cool to copy it to my email as well. I did a search, but couldnt really find the information i was looking for.... Thanks CC members.. oh yeah, s**t i almost forgot, the car is a 99 civic si, with some CTR cams and all the other basics...

get a custom mated turbo, and know what you want to do with the car when you're doing it. this is your best bet, but it may cost more than 3500. i think the greddy kit does too?

 

[97civicracer]

hhaa ricer? huh? Ive seen countless hondas run that turbo/intercooler setup, and put down damn good number, aslo the top end power with the SC61 at full spoon it amazing. And the setup is very usable on a street car.

SO BITE ME DICKHEAD

hey carbon, you've always been a d**k.... i dont give a f**k if you do or dont help me.... wow, so i didnt post in the right spot... so i guess i dont deserve your imput.... did you happen to read the first line of my post? hu, sounds like you didnt... you probably just read the subject of the post, and then all the responses, then added your two cents, (and it aint even worth that)

 

[97civicracer]

so much confrontation....lets just all hold hands and be freinds

 

[Prez]

might as well have a slumber party and talk about all the cute hondas and beetles that drive down the street, and then call auto zone and hang up.

 

[Tactics]

well if carbon would get his head out of his ass and just READ THE POST (at least the first line) then we would have no confrontation.... everybody else is being helpful in offering they're opinion. I appriciate the help....

I went custom, or should i say im GOING custom as we speak...

Garret T3 48/60 trim, bought for 150 not working, rebuilt for 300
Johnnyracecar Front Mount Intercooler 30*6*2
Custom Charge and Intercooler Piping
Lovefab Shorty Manifold
35mm Turbonetics Evolution External Wastegate
TurboXS RFL Blow off Valve
TurboXS MBC
DSM 450 Injectors(i might go to Lucas 550's, not sure yet)
Custom Steel Braided Feed and Return Lines, Fitting, Drain Flange
Hondata s200 w/ Boost, Conversion Harness, p28
Autometer Boost and A/F Gauge
Thermal 3 Inch Turbo Exhaust
ACT XTSS Clutch
XACT Streetlite Flywheel
HKS Type 1 Timer

I think thats everything, thats what it will all look like in the end, I have everything on that list sitting around except for the exhaust and hondata, my manifold is still being fabbed too. As you can see I went ahead and strengthed my clutch anf flywheel, that tacked an extra 600 onto the price, and I went with Hondata, over the typical AFC hack or using an FMU, i wanted the best of the best in fuel management. In the beginning i wished i had went with a kit, because there was alot of s**t to buy and i watched my money fly out the window, but in the end it will be well worth it. Also, alot of ur money needs to go to tuning, without a proper tune whatever you buy is useless, unless you want to run really rich all the time. Good luck with ur s**t man, you will need it..

 

[Fawks]

I think some of those kits come with warrinties if you have a "Certified" shop install it. That would be nice.
