Have you ever built a turbokit for a Honda before or is this your first one? The prices are average ranges give or take and the parts I listed were nothing extravegant. Thats a bottom dollar build. I am building a kit right now on a budget for my boy, and its at about $2200 right now. My first kit was $2500 doing it myself. My 2nd kit I don't even want to know how much is in it unless I am lying down.

 

no this would be the first one im actually going to buy but I do know how much a quality setup costs because i have completely priced out my other setup for the B18b1.

 

this is what I've been saying to everyone, but... it just fails to register with most ppl

 

and remember spend the $$ on the tuning... once tyou have it all the tuning stuff your second car will be a BREEZE! so don't skimp on the WB02 or the EGT!

 

Look into spending a good $2500 to $3000 on a reliale junk yard boost project finding parts needed is key since you will be mostly buying used parts do your research, i Can reccommend a guy that can find you stuff like that of coarse you will have to pay him a finders fee but he can find really good cheap parts if you do not have the time

 

I have a manifold I made from sched 40 pipe. Best manifold I've had, and it's held up to everything. The routing is all crazy, cuz we tried to make it equal length, but that didn't work out. I might remake it getting rid of all the bends, but quite frankly I'm tired of spending money on my Prelude.

My advice, is do 4 direct pipes rather than a log style. It's only slightly harder to do (mainly merging the 4 pipes together) and much more effecient.

Of course, H22 manifolds are more scarce, especially when I put mine together a couple years ago.

I got the piping from http://www.mcmaster.com/

 

here is a lil SS action that my buddy speedemon, mah man Mark... my dad, and I whipped up. yeah... 2.5 years in the making. god damn stainless. so yeah... it's externally gated via Tial gate, and the mani is ported inside... still supposed to get tapped for an egt probe and then it goes to get ceramic coated. I'm taking the turbo for ceramic coating tomorrow I hope.

 

i was gonna go ghetto but after reading what bbarbulo said i dont wannna have to spend the money twice

 

thats a sweet looking manifold u got there bruno!! Mad tite y0

 

Just a little food for thought. Don't waste your money on ceramic coating. Been turboing cars for 16 years now and have never seen the benefits of ceramic coating. Its alot of hype for very very little gains, unless its the cosmetic look your after. Spend that money elsewhere in your turbokit believe me its not worth it, or I would have done it in my race car already. I talk to Harry at Precision Turbo, Kenny Duttweiller, and other big shooters and they all confirm its merely cosmetic with next to no gains.

 

ya, cosmetic for sure bro... I can't have junky lookin isht under my hood. and spending money elsewhere in the turbo kit... only other place I can think to spend it is internals... everything on this is done right I think. and internals are way too big of an investment to make now... I wanna get the car running boost, THEN as soon as it makes 7 psi it's green light for internals too.

thing is I wanna make another one, not stainless this time... but equal length.
