b16 turbo new boy
 

ok well im new and ive had a crx for around 2 years now. i blew my stock motor messing around and decided to swap. i put in b16a from hmotors. ok now im bored with that and i would like to put a turbo setup together. i dont have a huge budget but i think im going to go with a t3 turbo. dsm blow off valve dsm side mount and dsm 450 injectors. i would also end up getting the ecu chipped. i would like to run around 8lbs of boost. my question is should i build my bottom end or not. i would like this motor to last a while and not have to work on it everyother day. well thanks in advance.

Sounds like a solid HMT setup. No, you won't need to build your motor. Since you said you are getting a chipped ecu ::pats n00b on the back:: as long as you get it tuned well your stock bottom end will handle the boost just fine.

thanks man im not really a noob tho. ive been around import ---- for like 3 years now and im against rice just like the rest of the vetorins (or however u spell it). k so i should b cool. umm.... o yea well how much should everything else cost. i can get the dsm stuff 4 like almost free but i need all the lame stuff like couplings 4 the charge pipes,and other stuff.

Based on the setup you have in mind, if you are lucky and get some good deals, everything should cost about $500-$600. This includes an upgraded clutch and pressure plate.

When Jagojon3 said you are a noob he doesn't mean you are new to imports/cars, but new to this forum (only two post) 8).
