one word.. custom

you don't want nor should you need a kit.. get something made specficly for your car....


Sadly you can’t talk cheap and reliable, those words don’t go hand in hand.
One day you will want more power… one day you more than likely will blow your engine, what will you do if this happens ? sell everything or build your engine for high boost ?

You need to answer these questions before designing a turbo kit for your engine.

Why ? because it happens to everyone, you need to either build a turbo kit designed for 7psi and never any more, or build a turbo kit which will work at 7psi but will work even better at 25psi. Cost is a issue for many clients but making any Honda go fast costs big money, don’t let anyone kid you its cheap, because its not.

The most impotent things to consider when turboing a Honda is boost control via the best wastegate money can buy, and engine management again the best money can buy. Everything else you buy directly effects performance but not so much reliability.


As for costing you need the following items as a start.. I don’t want to put prices next to them or recommended any parts because everyone has there own preference, I know what I use on all my client cars and all of them are perfect.

Turbo
Turbo exhaust Mainfold
Wastegate
Screamer pipe (to atomo or back to exhaust )
Down pipe (turbo to exhaust )
Replace stock exhaust system
Intercooler
Intercooler piping
Silicon hose + strong clamps
Injectors + clips
Fuel and ignition engine management
Oil feed / water lines for turbo
Oil drain to sump
Labour
Slim line fan’s ( I neva like to use the stock ones and hack em to bits )

The above setup could cost you as cheap as $3000 or less easy, or more than $30,000 easy, quality parts vs cheap parts vs 2nd hand vs new …… at the end of the day it comes down to one thing how much you want to spend. All I can say is spend money where its needed the most, but don’t buy anything because its cheap, look into the future and see if that part will be good in the future …
