this is the turbo kit i was going to get off of ebay is it a good choice? some one let me know cause ive heard bad things about them . but this looks like a good kit to me but im not familiar with turbos.

well i would highly recommend NOT using the VAFC. Convert to OBD1 and run something like Crome. You could run OBDO Hondata...which is going to be about the same price.

Other than that, what kind of questions do you have?

by the way, if you buy that kit above, you will be banned from the site permanently...that is a pile of shit that is going to break in no time....

how do i convert to obd 1 and where do i find stuff for obd 0 and can i use mega squirt on obd0? thank you for any help.

[ssj155trunks]

well what do you think i should do i only have like $2500 to work with. where can i find the pieces to put a good one together?

[Schister66]

dont use Megasquirt....there are so many other good programs available for Hondas. I could see using that if you had some other car like a mid 90s Dodge, but there is a wide selection of free programs for Honda. All you would need to do is convert to OBD1 (which means buying a conversion harness and ECU) and then get your car tuned on Crome. You WILL have to get your car professionally tuned if you want it to last....

I made 275whp safely for 5 months before i decided to upgrade my setup...that was on the stock engine too!

www.honda-tech.com has all the info you need
www.hondamarketplace.com has all of the parts you need

[ssj155trunks]

so do you think its possible to get i done with that amount of money and what do you think i essentially need to get started with turboing it. im not to great with all of this because i was just looking at the kits and so im tryin to figure it all out.?

[Schister66]

yeah you could do it for that amount of money...you need to read up on things first so that you can budget accordingly.

I'll save you some time...search through this thread and you will find all of the answers you need. There are threads on there for everything. One thing that you cant forget to budget for is a clutch, exhaust, and tuning....

i already put a stage 3 clutch in when i had to change the tranny . i put a cable tranny from a 91 acura integra rs? so is that good and its not the best clutch in the world but it grips great?

[Schister66]

well then you can count that off the list....you should be able to easily boost it for less than $2500. I bought all new parts and did mine w/ a clutch, tune and exhaust for $2600 approx....

[ssj155trunks]

what should i do about exhaust should i go with 3 " with no cat or should i run a catback with a cat?
and what was your set up on you gsr? and do i need to change drive axles i have 99 gsr axles?

[ssj155trunks]

sorry for bombarding you but i want to do this right . ? thanx for any help.

[Schister66]

i'm running stock axles....i have a 99 GSR....therefore i would say you're fine because they've seen a lot of abuse

yes my setup was on a GSR...i'll list it here in a little while, but as for the exhaust, 3" works well....
