$400 Limit to Turbo??
 

i have a dream....ok ok i have a goal.do you think its possible to spend no more than $400.00 to turbo my b16?i dont want anything special, it can be the most homemade,ghetto,weak ass setup ever, i just want some boost to play with.ill be running a completely stock b16a in my 93 hatch w/p28 ecu.i just want to run 5 or 6 psi so i dont have to worry about damage.what do you guys suggest?any thoughts?


lets hear it....

b series i probably say no well maybe if you can make your own mani/downpipe/chargepipes and get the material dirt cheap....if it was a D series you probably will have a better shot :-\ :-*

Re: $400 Limit to Turbo??
 

B is a nogo unless you find a free or really cheap turbo manifold, Its all on the deals you can find. I did a friends D GHETTO for 523.55 (yess we added it up) but that was with making my own adapter plate and some really ghetto charge piping. Remember 5.0 f150s intake piping is your friend :)

Re: $400 Limit to Turbo??
 

hmm well im gonna try, i think itd be pretty sweet if i could, being a B and all...i can machine flanges at work, and i have actually been wanting to attempt my own manifold, and as for ic piping ive seen some ghetto stuff so im sure i could match it.im just not sure about oil lines and all the small misc things needed

Re: $400 Limit to Turbo??
 

for the oil lines I HIGHLY suggest getting the tuner toys fitting its much much much easier and faster than crappy brass tee's etc... aslo get couple other fittings for the drain from there. For the oil feed you can get a 3ft -4an ss line for like $20 and a fitting to go along with it $2 on ebay OR you can cough up $75 and get a COMPLETE oil feed/drian from stelthmode ;D then you got your intercooler, bov, injectors, chip, wiring, you can find awsome deals here in the classifieds :D Good Luck!!

i cant use stock injectors since im only running 5-6psi?what chip and wiring?

Re: $400 Limit to Turbo??
 

well if you want to run a douch FMU you can use the stock (240cc) injectors but if you care about your motor i would buy some dsm 450cc injectors and chip your ECU with Uber, im pretty sure on your car your going to have to put some resitors for your injectors...i dont know too much about that becuase i didnt have to do it on my car :P now is the time for you to start reading,searching, basicly learning every thing you possibly can BEFORE you attempt to boost your car :)

Re: $400 Limit to Turbo??
 

oh, well if i cant use stock injectors, i just happen to have some h22 injectors laying around...will that do?

and yes, im gonna start reading and researching for this

Re: $400 Limit to Turbo??
 

no i think those are 240cc also.....your going to need some off other Dimond Star Motors turbo cars that use larger injectors since there will be twice as much air flow you will need more fuel in the mix so you dont run lean and blow your motor ;)

Re: $400 Limit to Turbo??
 

now will going ghetto (but still get some decent power out of it) on a d series, automatic obd 2 be doable?
