my engine is stock as a rock.. ive heard u cant run to much boost on these engines so i prob settle for 6-8 pounds...
do u suggest anything better??
my budget is round 6 grand is this enough for a setup

Why dont you look at previous posts for a rough estimate.
-
6k you will be cutting lots of corners, skimping on engine mangerment turbo mainfold etc....but it all depends on what you want ! and how fast you want to go...
This is what i belive is minium on any turbo setup...before doing internals....
Turbo GT ballbearing 1500 - 2500
Maxrev Log Style Stainless mainfold or Full Races Turbo Mainfold 1500 - 3000
stainless with flex pipe Down Pipe 500
Wastegate 600
Waste gate dump into exhaust 400
custom stainless Cooler pipes 900
Injectors 660cc 800
Fuel Pump 350
Hondata s200 with boost 1290
PWR Radiator 800
2x 13" fan 250
oil change 50
filter change 20
fuel filter 50
air filter 100
air intake piping 200
fuel reg 300
nuts bolts fittings materials 350
Tuning 300
labour 1500
coolent 30
plugs 15
oil feed/drain/Water(EARLS/SS LINES 550
silcon FOR ic 150
oil sump baffel + drain 200
intercooler 800
clutch 850
and trust me theres a lotmore money you can spend....

That comes to $14,655 thank you very much!
Sounds like overkill to me.
All this guy wants is a simple setup, for $6k you can probably do it but you will be skimping on a few things. Having said that, YOU CAN DO IT! If you want a fun low boost car then it is possible. There are so many that have done it. Do some research, there's lots of information out there.
PM A.C.S DRAG, he should be able to help.

15k.... 11k more than he wants to spend.. but what would you cut corners on...
Or then again you could do this…
take out the clutch save 800... and kill your stock clutch in a week or 2....
take out the cooler save another 800...and hope your intake temps stay low...
take out the large injectors and just add one extra injector... hoping to get even fuel flow into the engine..(total cost $200) saves $600
take out using silicon for the cooler pipe joins and just use rubber which will leak boost after a while.. saving of 50$ there..
take out baffeling the oil sump hoping the oil drains from the turbo correctly and doesn’t back flow thus breakig your turbo.. saves another 100
take out the new spark plugs blah saved $15
who needs new oil, coolent, fuel filter, oil filter, when your cutting corners
there's another $168 saved
while your at it take out the PWR radiator hoping the stock one keeps your car cool during 40deg days with the air con on, saves another $800
take out the after market fans, cut the stock ones make them fit or hell just don't run any fans ! saves another $250
take out buyin a nice air K&N filter, but a cheap noname brand pod saves $80
take out the polish intake piping and use flex pipe saves $180
take out the fuel reg, who needs static fuel pressure when your skimping on everything... thats another $300 saved
buy cheap none stainless bolts none high tensile from super cheap auto save another $150
use rubber hoses instead of ss line oil feeds and use brass oil fittings instead of earls fittings hoping the rubber lines don't melt and the fittings don't leak saves $300
Don't worry about a nice intake fuel pump just buy a $150 bosh fuel pump and have it inline sittin in your engine bay makin your stock pump work over time hoping it gives your enigne enough fuel, saves your $200
don't worry about a Hondata ECU just get a check valve and a FMU and hope the car run's right with random fuel injection from your extra injector, that saves $1000
you won't need to pay for tuning because you will be cutting corners and just using a FMU so that saves $300
take out the cost of the labour because the original post only asked about the cost of a kit.. not a fitted and installed ready to drive price. That saves another $1500
take out the stainless intercooler pipes, just use ruber pipes like the avo kit that saves $650
don't worry aobut using a external wastegate because your going to buy a cheap 2nd hand turbo with a internal wastegate that saves $600
you won't need a wastgate dump pipe now that your not using a external wastegate there's another $400 saved
modify your stock Honda dump pipe to bolt onto the turbo and don't use any flex pipe, which will cause your manifold 2 crack oh well your cutting corners do that dos't matter.... there's another $300 saved
That’s $9543.00 saved on cutting corners, before saving on the manifold and turbo buy cutting even more corners.
Use a cast iron turbo manifold like the cheap avo for $550 saves anywhere from $500 - $2000
buy a 2nd hand turbo with a internal wastgate shouldn’t cost more than 300 - 500$ that saves another $1000 - $2000
Total saving of... around $12,000.00
Wow all a sudden you have a cheap turbo kit $2480.00 would it work yes, would you have boost yes, would your car be faster yes, would it last long ??? Would the engine last more than a month? Would it be hassle free? could you drive it like a daily driven car with no worries, would you have to worry about ova boost, would it be fine on a hot day, etc etc etc at least with a $14,000 setup you could guarantee your self a hassle free perfectly working car. Now its always up to the end user to decide on which corners to cut, but for every $ saved no matter who does the work results in less reliability and more problems period….

Chill out James. I'm just saying you don't always have to go all out and spend so much on a turbo setup. I agree with you in that you do it right first time but not everyone has a huge budget so recommending a list like the one above is sometimes overkill.
ah789454 is obviously not looking at spending that much which is why i said your suggestion was overkill. :P
Fuel and engine management is a critical part of any turbo setup so that is the one area i wouldn't skimp on.
Just my opinion on this thread, not everyone will agree.

When is a over kill a over kill thow ? who defines that ? its only defined by how much money you spend....although this topic is "how much cost for full turbo setup" define full turbo setup ? is that full turbo setup cutting corners or not...
One could also argue if you won’t skimp on engine management why skimp on engine cooling ? or boost control ? or fuel setup ? Everything is critical ! but everything is limited to your pocket …. Sadly
So when are you coming to see me regarding a ecu for your boosted car ?

Exactly right! You can't determine that without some sort of criteria which is why you asked what they were after and the budget etc.
A budget of $6k was given so we should realistically try and help as much as possible to meet that.
