I started off with a d16z6, blew it twice with nos...

swap in a b16a $3500, turbo charge it blew it, rebuilt it, turbo, interior, mods, suspension, brakes, rims, body, ---- that did not work out,, an lot of moiner parts, working on a paint job, the turbo setup alone $1000+, not counting electronic part of, noticed I'm not trying to do a ghetto set up, and I'm stationed in Germany, everything is a rippoff. I will come up with an accurate list, but ya'll probably wont read it because its long, it you getting what I'm saying, I probably have more than 10 grand, not counting the past engines, plus I just bought a laptop, working on a wideband, egt, even though I shop mostly on ebay, hardly any used parts, I'm now correcting all the half *** stuff such as management, and monitoring, still rising.

I had 2 turboed cars....a 1st Gen CRX I spend $290 in total
welded on the stock exhaust manifold the turbo was put upside down.Got a free turbo(CT20), free flanges(turbo),free intercooler, charge pipes from the yunkyard mixed with PVC,450cc injectors and running the hack with a little black box...trailor park hack .Oil feed, fittings, clamps and 5th gen half sized radiator etc all incluided in the price.
As I got most of the stuff for free...the major parts I only had to get the fuel management and misc stuff. I welded the stuff my self was only 8 bucks in welding rods.The BOV was the most expensive part cost me $100, bought it new...bling bling . The car ran great without exhaust...sucked with stock exhaust...head gasket blew in 2 weeks. Stripped it and it went to the yunyard....turboed my 5th Gen EG civic. Used same turbo, same intercooler, most of the charge pipes, same BOV, same 450cc, same hack, same oil lines. new intake charge pipe from metal, new homemade manifold 2.75" downpipe and exhaust straight pipe, got free flanges again
Spend $110..actually $109.

So far I'm at the following
-IHI RBH5 $free
-Homemade manifold $16 (13 for a T3 flange and 3 for high temp paint)
-$125 for BOV with charge pipe and Greddy Bluebox
-$78 for oilline kit from cheapturbolines.com
-GTIR intercooler $free
-$20 chargepiping and downpipe and couplings and clamps from junkyard
I'm not expecting huge numbers from this kit just enough to scoot my *** a little faster to walmart to pick up groceries and have a little fun in between!
