Don't be tooo cheap on the main parts as in the end you do want your engine to survive. I had a 92 Turbo eg civic that I did for around $4000 give or take a few hundred (or thousands). Dyno tuned twice $1800 (7psi 130kw tune then 10psi 161kw tune standard internals) that included a new set of injectors an OEM cams as one of my cam lobes were worn on the B16A.

Did as much as I could myself to make things cheaper. Mainly have a plan and a budget to stick to do it right the first time. When I sold my civic 4 months ago I added up the reciepts and I had 22 grand worth of doings things twice and upgrading my upgrades.

Good luck if you do theres nothing like the feeling of a turbo'd Vtec and screamer pipe going nuts at 8000rpm.
