turbo setup question

Okay, I drive a 93 del Sol with an Integra LS swap. Obviously I swapped the LS in because I plan on turboing. I dont really feel like spending $3000 for a kit, so I'm probably going to do a custom setup. My question is what all do I need to build a custom turbo kit & what should I get (like type of turbo & BOV & intercooler, etc.). By the way, I plan on running with stock internals. But yeah, I dont really know a lot about turbos so I just want to know like what kind of turbo I should use (T3, T3/TO4, etc.)....basically everything. Any help is greatly appreciated.

del, i agree. vtec is somewhat overrated. for a turbo b18b1 you'll need the manifold, turbo, downpipe, intercooler, intercooler piping, turbo oil lines, intake piping,wastegate, bov, boost controller(optional, but essetial for stock internals) you'l need detonation protection(turbo timer) boost gauge, A/F control, A/F gauge.... on and on and on and on... its a lot of stuff if you want to do it right. i dont think i'm forgetting anything but if i did i'm sure someone will say something. some of the turbo's you'd probably want to check out are the t25, t28, t3/t04, 18g, and so on. you might want to let a professional shop do it for you if you've never done it before. they'll know everything. or at least you hope so. good luck and let me know how it turns out.:sun:
