the fact of the matter is, that even on 50% discounted prices, you can't turbo a B for 400.
WTF? I'm sure it can and has been done. If you can fabricate your manifold and charges pipes then I'm sure you can do it. Why the ---- couldn't you? Half of the ------- people on this website have boosted a car at some point for less than $500. Don't say it's not possible because it's very possible. Your setup looks like it cost a good $125 so STFU.

I made my first kit for as cheap as possible, took me over 6 months of waiting around for parts.
20 for the mani
5 for the adapter plate, another 5 more to get it cut.(got the studs from a old honda head
12 dollars for my bsp-npt adapter,
10.99 for the long oil line
5 for the short line
5 for the swivel fitting
2 for the T fitting
5 for the drain line
3.99 for the oil pan fitting (that i never used anyway)
50 bucks for the mr2 bov (best bov ever)
60 bucks for 3 u bends
24 bucks for 2 feet of 4ply couplers, stole the T-clamps from the junk yard
15 for a j bend for the exhaust
15 for the flex pipe
59.99 for the turbo
free intercooler, normal cost for a audi core like that would be about 100.
thats 300 bucks.
plus new oil, new oil filter, 10 feet of 2.5 exhaust pipe (20 bucks) random Ts, vacumn line(free from junkyard) 1 step colder plugs(20). catch can (about 10 bucks plus 6 for the lines) and a new air filter(20).
altogether it came to about 400 bucks.
That doesn't include the cost of welding rod and welding wire I had to buy, the argon, the honda bond, the drill bits, the taps and dies, and other tool costs (like a big set of snap ring pliers)
Plus the 420 6 puck clutch.
plus the 120 for the chip burner and two chips,
plus the 60 for the 450cc injectors,
plus the 400 for the wideband and egt,
and the 300 for the laptop,
4 for the O2 bung.
30 for oil pressure and coolant temp
and 40 for the boost gauge
Now that's all in canadian dollars.(prices in Us would be about 20% less)
Remember, this is for a D, not a B. I got a deal on a bunch of stuff, A bunch of free stuff, and I don't think I paid full price for anything but the wideband, clutch and U bends.
It is IMPOSSIBLE to built a kit for 400 for a B UNLESS you get half your ---- for free, or severly discounted.

We're not talking about how much the gas and oil and parking tickets is going to cost. We're talking about putting a turbo on a car.
Are we forgeting what ------- website we're on?

Re: $400 Limit to Turbo??
Dr.boost, I"m sure its been done, But i will guarentee you that the people who have done it didn't pay anywhere close to full price, infact, the metal alone would account for nearly half of the 400.
I"ll I"m trying to say is unless you have the connections, unless you have some parts, and unless you have the time to wait around for these 'great' deals, it can't be done.
prove me wrong.

Why can it be done on a D series and not a B series? The only difference is the manifold and it's not like that's such a big deal. I've seen used SSautoshit manifolds sell for $75(not that they are worth a ----, but still).
I'm sure we all have extra parts and pipes and ---- in the garage that will save some money here and there.
On a side note, it's impossible to put a turbo on a Honda.

Re: $400 Limit to Turbo??
If this is your first time going turbo theres little chance you could do it for 400 or do it right i should say. If you built a few kits before you would know what to buy and make and might be able to do it. A decent turbo alone could run for200$, I have a smic if you want for cheap
