boosted b18b project
 
Hey guys,

Planning on doing a budget boost project on my integra, just for giggles. For these reasons I've decided to do a eBay setup. Does anybody have experience with one specific kit? And please don't say they're all bad, because i know some people have success with some kits. Just wondering which ones to stay away from is all.

Thanks for the help!

Also, does anybody know what happend to Scott-EP from here? I was looking at purchasing one of his kits but it doesn't look like he's been around for a while. Also, this is the kit i'm looking on getting http://cgi.ebay.ca/B-SERIES-T3-T4-TU...item4cf0f5bc6a

I have heard those kits are a hit and miss, but it could be people who blew up their car becasue they didnt get a tune or it could be faulty parts. I have no experiece.

ive been using these kits for years now. built 3 turbo motorcycles and 2 turbo cars with them and never had a failure with any of the parts. my current vehicle is using the gt35 turbo and 3000 miles and 6 months later no issues. if you buy it just make sure you thoroughly inspect all the parts especially the turbo to make sure its not binding.

If you are goin to use a Ebay kit go with CX-racing. Everything of theirs I have dealt with has been top notch for what it is.

Do you know if they make ac and ps friendly kits?

WORPeclipse 04-25-2011 09:18 PM

yeah my buddies kit from them was both ac and ps compatible. Not as easy to do but he could have.

Just posting up an update:
Ordered the CxRacing turbo kit, Will be shipped tomorrow (Monday). Once i receive the kit i will post pictures etc. Hopefully the turbo doesn't blow first start up. I still have to buy a wideband, ecu with jumper harness, and a fuel pump.

Going over the ad, and I think i need to learn to read...
I've purchased this kit :

And just noticed that it says that the kit is for EK with B series engine. Now, I've purchased this for my Integra, will i have problems with the down pipe, and charge pipping, and manifold fitment?

U shouldn't have any problems because the engine bay is around the same size.
