i was wondering what sought of a budget i would need to build a turbo b as fast as a kswap because k is a bit pricey at the moment my car is a stock carby eg im not fussed on what b it is i would prefer vtec i didnt really want to spend much over 10gs
u need a good 10g's for a good turbo setup that should see u make 200+kw......
then u gotta take into acount the engine price and conversion stuff u need...........
p.s. that 10g's for turbo gear is wat it owed me on my ITR and that was all my own labour....
Be less than that Tom, 10gs for a top notch setup . Hes asking for a setup equivalent to being as fast or as much grunt as a K swap.
com'on deanno,
u gotta take clutch, computer, tune , & all the little things into consideration too......
yes but you only need a basic turbo setup to net in the region of 140-150kw.
computer plus tuning ~$2000
turbo$1500
manifold/dump/exhaust $2200
injectors and fuel pump $600
cooler and piping $500
other stuff $1000
still a lot of money. Mine all up was about $8500 and now I am upgrading the turbo so another $2g....
a B16A swap will run you at least $3.5 as I am assuming that you have little mechanical knowledge to install, hence the question asked. K looking a bit more appealing?
Of course now we will get everyone on here saying 'oh but you can do it for $5k' or 'you can do it for $100 bucks' but that is if you are buying second hand or second rate parts and installing the lot yourself
BTW, havent you asked this before?- http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthr...ht=turbo+setup
mate there is heaps of cheap cars already turboed look on carsales seen a few delsols turboed going heaps cheap
here is a start
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/b16a-honda-ci...item230d296773
i might look into the kswap then i hope they have come down in price last time i checked k20 was 12gs aussie spec / k24 was 15ish
and i 150kw b turbo will get smash by a kswap because of the gearing wouldnt it
no, its gearing can be changed
if u get a 150kw K Vs a 150kw B its all down to the drivers
This! +1Quote:

Yeah I hate to say it cos I love people modifying cars, but you are far better off buying a car already turbo.
Sometimes it is nice to be unique, but EG civics with turbo B-series are reasonably common.
yeah buy one which is already has been turbocharged..SAVES U LOTZZZZ OF MONEY... i added a turbo to my eg6 which was only pushing around 170kw .. but the amount of money and time spend into it wasnt worth it .. but then it depends on each individual .. 10k would give you a good setup.. but thngs can be done whole lot cheaper as well ..
Sounds like a few ppl here know a thing or 2 about forced induction,
Mind if I ask, how do I register my turbo b16a into my ek1 at the RTA?
i am looking at a 240kw b16 turbo setup for 15gs i want something thats going to keep up with my mates 320kw gtr what sort of times will my eg with sussy and good street tyres run with a decent driver with 240kw there is a lot of honda haters on the central coast i need to make belivers
Imo the most sensible way to keep traction above 200kw is to go 4wd your eg will just sit there and spinQuote:

ova 200atw can do low 11s. or even high 10s thats if u can drive.
of corz nissan/holden kunts gonna insult u coz u drive a honda. but go ahead prove em wrong wat a fwd civic can do.lol
i only raced my itr once
it made 240kw at the wheels
i ran 12.88 @ 113mph
i was using small (205/50/15 toyo r888 semis)
and was crossing the line on the limiter in 4th
so a taller tyre may have resulted in a 115 or 116mph
and like i said first time out
so my 60ft was 2.1
that is one awesome time for a 2.1 60ft, easy high 11's with slicksQuote:

lol mods made a little more power, but didnt affect the mph much at all..
not sure what mph your friend would run in his gtr.. but they need alot of power to run good mph from what i know, and hondas need very little.
check pm....Quote:

are the full race manifolds any good? the ramhorn version? i will most likley be running the same setup just gotta pick a turbo
from wat ive heard, they are one of the best, ill be using this full race manifold
U get wat u pay for...
Personaly...
Full boost all the way
i did my EG3 convert to jdm b18c vtir 4 years ago in perth, being in perth means expensive labour and parts.
just did my turbo installed awaiting for the tune.
price break down:
car itself when i bought it 4 years ago: 5000
half cuts: 4400
fuel tank, fuel line and EFi dash: 600
b swap with fixing clutch master cylinder and using dc2 half cut front brake: 3000
suspension Tein HA 2nd hand: 800
brake pads EBC red: ~200
rear drum to disc brake convert: 600
bigger wheels 17" and Toyo tyres 205/40/17: 1000 + 1000
turbo kits (including intercooler, BOV, injectors, oil line, manifold, T3/T4 turbo, fuel pump and waste gate): 4000
installation (custom scream pipe and dump pipe, water line): 2100
PowerFC: 600
tune: 550
some bucket seats, half cage, steering wheels, carbon filber bonnet, spoiler, lips: 2500
so total: $26 350
having said that, i think eastern state is much much cheaper.
i am still waiting for the tune this weekend after the turbo installed.
thats a lot of money, but there are more to be done.
any pics of ur setup???
check out go-autoworks turbo kits.... they look okay. did a bit of searching and didnt find much bad on them..
