hey when/if you get it. Let me know what's involved with fitting it to your car. What other parts did you have to buy for it to work and so on...coz ive been thinking of getting something similar..just not sure what's involved with it and whether i will be spending more just to get it put in.
I've done a LITTLE research man... if i got that kit, at the minimal level (presuming i run low boost of 6psi daily)... i would need injectors, fuel pump, oil catch can/pan woteva they are called, and a ecu. Ur looking at prolly 500+ for install and tune i reckon
nah u can get it running pretty much when u buy the kit... though thats from what i know (which isnt much btw, ask Weq or someone first)
so along with the kit... u had better get a fuel pump straight away (200 bucks) some injectors (200 if u buy 2nd hand) and then somehwo mechanically retard ur ignition before u can afford an ECU to retard it for u
u'll prolly want to upgrade oil delivery system as well first (though i have NoooooooooOOOOOOOOOo idea exactlay wots involved) which i think involves some sort of oil catch can or somethinggg... u can upgrade ur sump later
basically its not going to cost u 2 grand above the kit... BUT thats presuming the kit is good, which i'm not sure about yet
u dont need a fuel pump or oil pump for a non-built setup.
that gear is shit. its SSautocrhome and they are know for shitty manifolds which WILL crack (the bracing, if any, does nothing, the welds suck) the turbo is a reco'd thing with crappy parts/seals used and the wastegate is horrific.. the only good part is the downpipe, but i hardly think u will retain A/C with a 3"'er on that setup. the last person i know who bought an SSAuctocrhome kit, the downpipe was no where near fitting
move along...!

For that kit you wil need to use the smaller radiator like the B16's. Weq is right. SSautochrome's manifolds have a good rep for cracking in a couple months of use. You'll need to buget a fair bit more if you want a decent power upgrade using forced induction. Main thing is the ecu. Don't skimp on the electronics and fuel side of things. Your ecu needs to be able to cope with boost (engine check light, limp mode!).
thanks thanks alll : ) i know i need an oil pump and fuel punp and prolly something the on the lines of a Greddy Emanage... but i thought this woulda beena bargain package to get the essential things. ah well...
u dont need an oil and fuel pump if ur running stock bottomend... honda's are engineered well. if u go fuel pump (for whatever reason) u will need a new fuel pressure regulator because most, if not all, aftermarket pumps will increase ur fuel pressure.
