Hey all :)
 
Hey everoyne, new to the site and Custom turbo kits in general.

Have a setup in mind and was wondering what everyone thought :)

engine is a JDM ZC SOHC vtec with 36k miles in a 92 EG hatch

Here's the setup i am looking at Lemmie know if i should change anything, and why.

14B turbo
Johnny RC 5" intercooler
HF manifold
BMC Adapter plate
greddy or 1g BOV (depending on how much xtra $ i got hehe)
greddy turbo timer
Boost controlor (dunno what brand yet)
Walbro fuel pump
440CC injectors
VAFC
A/F, boost, water temp gauges on a pillar pod

Downpipe and charge pipes I dunno where to get yet :(
I've heard about JC whitney? but can't find a website or any info.

Lemmie know watcha think guys!

save the money on the boost controller, turbo timer, and greddy bov, and get a real manifold and a bigger turbo imo. and jc whitney's site is jcwhitney.com if i remember right ;)

not working for me either...i couldve sworn that was it. and you dont need a turbo timer or a fancy boost controller (make your own or buy a cheap manual one)...and use a 1G bov

that's it, it must be down ???

Re:Hey all :)
 
I was gona use the 1g BOV cause they're cheap and i have heard good things.
I'm prob gona stick with the greddy timer cause it's only 80 brand new and i want my turbo to last a while.
I'm not mechanichally inclined enough to make a controler and would just assume buy one so i don't mess it up lol

Would a t25 be better? i don't want a big turbo so was thinking a 14b or a t25

remember custom coach sells piping kits, and extra piping and better intercoolers for better price. and despite what people may say ssautochrome manifold, and wastegate combo aren't too bad for a great price, he also sells downpipes, DSM bov ebay thats all under $600

get a .48/.42 t3

I agree. The boost controller kinda defeats the purpose of a HMT. Consider getting a used WBO2 instead of the new narrowband gauge (unless you can borrow a WBO2 from a friend). You can save some money on a used turbo timer, or just sit in your car for 30 sec while it cools down.

I have to agree on the turbo and manifold. You'll outgrow it and want something bigger/badder soon prolly anyways.

Re:Hey all :)
 
Like i said I'm still new to this, so forgive my stupidity
but what's HMT?

and I was thinking the T3 .48/.42 as an option also :)

I don't really wanna go bigger/badder anytime soon cause I'm saving to buy my uncle's S2k and until then this is my daily driver.
I just want more oomph if i break 175 hp I'll be happy.
I'd like 200 though :D
