My turbo kit choice :)

[hondavti25]

tuner hmmm acctually have put alot of thought into it.. i am thinking about dave if he was in town at the time? but if not probably apc any one got a suggestion for a emange tuner?

[JasonGilholme]

the best way to do it is pick your tuner and then buy the tool that they suggest/can tune best.

otherwise you'll have a poor tune and then a slow/unreliable car.

i recommend you do everything at once
dont drive a untuned car, its very silly putting all that money into your car and not tuning it.

hey dude, yeah hurry up and get it and we can put it in. as for tuners, james at hondatech sometimes also visits brisbane might like to check that out. so for hondata its really only james or dave, if u are going complete greddy kit at first i dont see why u couldnt use the e management, considering it is tuned for the exact setup, its just when u start changing parts the tune changes and thats when u have to look into other choices.

[hondavti25]

yeah thats what i plan on doing it claims its safe to use for an other wise stock engine so ill just run the greddy kit with a cooler on its stock boost then go for hondata and other upgrades

hey guys, what would you guys do ? eg kit that doesnt come with injectors but will be cheaper to buy RC550CC injectors then pay the extra 1000 bucks for the ek kit so with the money saved i can get a cooler aswell ? so option one
eg kit plus injectors plus intercooler for 3k
two
ek kit and cooler for 3500ish ?

another option:

- cost of the kit & a new engine?

[hondavti25]

what about a new engine?

what about a new engine?

Get rid of that D, and get a B

Thats what i plan on doing.

I thought about turbo's, and all that, and then decided, after lots of reading, im better to go for B series, then turbo it later if i want, because apparently boosted D's will only run same 1/4 mile as a stock B.

[hondavti25]

its still an option i spose but its something different boosted hondas are hot. But if i can find a B for cheaper then what this kit will end up to be then i might do it but my plan is to have a NA B project car one day so i aint to fused

[1996ek1]

Yea turbo'ing a honda is cool, but i thought it would be a waist of my money to turbo my D, then swap to a B later. So i decided , i would go the B for now, even though it probably wont be as fun...

what about a new engine?

you may need a "new" engine with the way you are mixing and matching a turbo kit trying to save a few hundred bucks and not even sure who and when to get the thing tuned....
