B16A2 Turbo Technicalities

[**Ghost**]

thanks guys... : )

Kits can go for really really cheap in the US, but of course some companies are just plain shit. I was looking ofr an SSAUTOCHROME kit, which costs only around 400-600(D series - B series) for Turbo/Downpipe/Manifold. After some reaserach it seems this guys make REAL BAD SHIT, but the point is if things can go THIS low, then there must be some decent, mid-ranged kits out there.

it just comes down to research. the more you do the better you can gauge your expectations

i realise that : )

Hey just as long as this is a b16A turbo thread... lemme ask u guys comment on this.

Firstly, how much does a hondata cost tuned? ditto for Greddy Emanage?

I was thinking i should get the hondata in first before the turbo cos then instead of having all this metal in my garage that i cant use until i get a hondata, i will enjoy the hondata for now and THEN start collecting metal from all over the world

but then of course theres the question of how much does RETUNE cost? i have no idea wtf is involved so can someone please tell me...and if i do the turbo install at home (with like 6 other ppl) how the hell am i going ot drive it to the shops to get it tuned?

im pretty sure hondadata is around $1500 for the s200 unit with boost addon maybe a couple of 100 less. Tuning, is 500 a session.

I had my e-manage tuned for 300 from scratch.

dun forget odb conversion price mate

[**Ghost**]

Cool.. but ne reason why the Hondata on www.hondata.com (NOT EBAY) is 295 bucks?

+ 200 for boost capabilty it should be 495, not 1.5k?!?!

[**Ghost**]

and i cant understand something, if hondata is a standalone unit, y is it in the INSTALLED pictures the stock ecu is still there?!?!

[Weq]

its the american version. james does work with them.

[**Ghost**]

ah so s200 + James Customisation = 1500 ?

then add on conversion from od2-1 then add on boost option then add on 3 bar map sensor thena dd on resistor box for injectors.

[**Ghost**]

ah so i have an obd2 do i? lol i always thought it was a obd1

neway first piece from USA is on its way... T3/T4 Turbo with internal Gate
