Going on boost :-)

[u n v me23]

As the title says... I'm going to boost, but since I'm new to this totally different world on the honda game, i not really sure as to what to get.

I currently have a ej8 with a ls swap in it. Before I the swap was in, I completely rebuilt the the motor. New gaskets, seals, oil pump, water pump, timing belt, piston rings, rod bearings, block was honed, etc. The motor only have 700 miles on it since rebuild. My friend has a brand new turbonetics t3/t4 and intercooler that he will give me. So why not go boost? I'm trying to find out the do's and dont's on boosting an ls.

Should I get an ebay turbo kit and use the lines, piping, etc? What do you guys recommend?

I plan on buying:
-Skunk2 Intake Manifold
-Skunk2 Throttle Body
-Walbro 255 Fuel Pump
-AEM Fuel Rail
-AEM Fuel Pressure Reg.
-ARP Head Studs
-Injectors ??? I have know clue

Please feel to make recommendations.

Thanks!!!!

There are a lot of resources on this site and the web, I would recommend searching around.

ls motors are good for boost if done right and tuned right

whats your goal as far as hp is concerned

I search the force induction section already..

Not really that sure as to the hp. I dont plan on boosting nothing more than 10lb with the stock internals.
I'mjust trying to piece a kit together with all the right parts. Dont want to cut any corners

for a basic kit you'll need

turbo
manifold
wastegate
bov
oil lines(return/feed+all fittings)
intercooler+piping
injectors
fuel pump

the only things i'd get off ebay are the fuel pump, intercooler/piping(depending who u buy from, might still have to modify to fit..you can find real* bov's and injectors on ebay as well

yeap! tune around the hp you want to make and let the psi's fall in to place..you can make 300 plus on just 6psi's on some set ups

The only thing I would change is the FPR from ur list..for the price just get an aeromotive...cheaper and better chit...
