    B16a EM1 turbo setup comprehesive insurance + other queries

    Hi All,

    Lately I've been entertaining the though of getting a turbo setup for my EM1. IT would be mainly for street use.

    ATM i'm a 32 y.o. and I pay $790 fully comp with my insurance company. How much would it cost after installing a turbo on my b16a? Or would I be uninsurable?


    I searched but couldn't find much :S

    Maybe u've seen my other thread: http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthr...AUDM-S15-200sx Looks like that trade up isn't gonna happen.

    I have some questions:

    1) Due to a downturn in work, I'm unlikely to be able to save 10 grand to upgrade to DC5r, so a turbo setup on my EM1 would be much cheaper. I'm guessing around $6k, is that possible?

    2) Also, I unsure whether it's worth boosting a car with 178,000 on the clock. It's got full service history, has been driven relatively reasonably, consumes very little oil (none if it isn't vteced) and pulls strongly for a b16a.

    3) Also, is it relatively easy to return it to stock at sale time? I'd wanna part out the turbo kit. And is it difficult to hide the fact that it has had a turbo conversion previously?

    I would like to hear your thoughts on this,

    Cheers in advance,

    Mike
