How much will you / have you spent on your turbo set up?

[BLK VTi]

First off, my apologies if there is a thread like this, but I SEARCHED and couldn't find anything

I'm just curious to know b/c a good friend of mine noticed I was having trouble setting a list of things I needed for my D-Series turbo set

So helped out and made me one. After providing the list, he calculated $3412.42 with tune included.

(He's willing to help me put it together )

To some this may be high for a D16, but to others this may be reasonable

Just want to get all the Turbo'ed guys/girls opinions and what they spent as far as

1. Engine Management
2. Parts
3. Turbo
4. Tune
5. Etc...

P.S. Doesn't necessarily have to be a D-Series you turbo'ed. Could either be a B / H / K Series motor

Thanks in advance

I spent approximately $1300 on my setup.. (including tune).

Damn, only that much

How much are HP are you putting down?

Is it a DD or not?

im not boosted anymore. It was daily driven at 7 psi (internally gated) at about 176whp.

 

[aNDoNX]

why aren't you boosted anymore

 

[Scorchsta]

Mine was about $1.1k not including all the fancy s**t I didn't need. Also including the tune. If you add all the extra stuff it was about $1.7k.

i dont recall how much i spent on my entire setup (it was more or less "complete")

but ive parted it out for roughly $1500, i lost money on some things, and made profit on others..

around 3k for motor/tranny/head and turbo setup. need another 800-1000 for turbo and bigger exhaust

swap - 100
built bottom -600
old turbo setup - 600
mani - 150
ic 200
ems- 400 ended up selling and got 500
p06 converted to vtec with obd1 step down-220
injectors - 220
cam gear - 50
downpipe-150
tune- 400

2590 total for my current dd setup. no clue on hp but ive beaten a base rsx, scion tc, 99 si WITH A CX tranny (130mph @ top of 3rd at 7k rpms)

so once i rebuild my old ex tranny, bigger turbo, bigger exhaust and re-tune maybe 4000 the most.

sooo $4000 for a DAILY DRIVEN 12 second civic. people have done 10s with this setup in egs. i think my car will be able to do 11's but im shooting for 12's

 

[got traction]

im prob in around 4-5 k for a dd turbo d

 

[Ominous G2]

Ive only picked up the manifold, downpipe, and a boost gauge. Maybe $600.

I like the route that your going with your build

I thought I was going to spend to much on mine

But DAMN, a 12sec DD..

That's great

I'm thinkin about getting an EX tranny as well

Good luck w/ the build

Hopefully we can meet @ a few Auto-X events

With 4-5k spent I think your putting down some good HP / numbers (key word "THINK")

What is your set-up if you dont mind me asking?

 

[ryan89crx]

all d series

built motor - $1000
built trans + clutch - $1000
turbo kit - $1000
obd1 conversion, chipped ecu, wideband, chip burner, Crome Pro license, Ostrich - $950

sure the engine management looks like a lot, but i can use everything to tune other people's cars as well. so its not like it was entirely for my car

Also looking to possibly either boring or sleeving the block

Getting the crankshaft rebalanced

Looking to make 230HP +

 

[Billy.]

^^ you left out injectors and wastegate dump tube, unless your dumping into the downpipe. otherwise, it looks good!

which motor is this youre building?

*edit*
something i would consider if your looking for 200whp+ is rebuilding the block with arp rod bolts and fresh bearings to make a really reliable and strong DD

Good thing you mentioned that to me

Almost forgot it

Its going to be either

D16 Mini Me

D16Y8

D16Z6

Can't afford DOHC @ the moment, but I would be more than happy to make more power than one

Thanks again for info, definitely taking it into consideration for rebuilding the block

 

[toneekay]

right now im at $1.9k w/o fmic, ecu, tune.
