turbo bseries

[jayeg]

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

[IEVAQ8]

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....

[DLO01]

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.

[IEVAQ8]

com'on deanno,
u gotta take clutch, computer, tune , & all the little things into consideration too......

[mooshie]

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

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

[jayeg]

and i 150kw b turbo will get smash by a kswap because of the gearing wouldnt it

[Riced_Civic]

no, its gearing can be changed

if u get a 150kw K Vs a 150kw B its all down to the drivers

This! +1

I Had a turbo'd DC2 VTIR, and I sold it all for less than the cost of you actually turboing a EG. Buy one already done!

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.
