how do u guys do it?
 

i have seen a bunch of people on here say they have turboed cars for like 500 bucks and i cant seem to find any parts that will put me near that mark i can only find parts that will put me at like 1500-2000

Re: how do u guys do it?
 

r u looking at used or new

Re: how do u guys do it?
 

CX/HF manifold, adapter, used .63/.60 T3, homeboy depot oil lines, JRC FMIC, Xenocron chipped ECU, 450cc injectors should keep you well under $1000.

Re: how do u guys do it?

Re: how do u guys do it?
 

Ah mine is for D series

Re: how do u guys do it?
 

by a b series flange, and weld up ur own log man, go to a junkyard and get a turbo off something about the same size, 450cc injectors go for like 40 bucks, a 1g dsm bov goes for 40 bucks, while ur at the junkyard find a sidemount off a turbo car, and the rest like oil lines and resistors boxes are cheap, find a big junk yard near you, there are tongs of cars in canada that still have turbos sitting in them :y

Re: how do u guys do it?
 

most of them are the gay chrysler mitsu turbos that no one wants

Re: how do u guys do it?
 

i can do it for -56.87

Re: how do u guys do it?
 

Sure you can do it for $12 or whatever but it will be gettho and probably unreliable.I like home made but I just cant bring myself to do gettho.$1000 should be able to do a decent kit just need to find a used turbo and a cheap manifold.The rest can be bought for cheap from r ebay ---- like blow off,intercooler etc.Keep cruising the classifieds on here and ebay to find deals.Can you weld at least the chargepipes?You need a wire feed and at least more skill then a bag of autistic babies to do those welds.For silicone,oil lines etc just hit up local industrial hose/hydrualic shops etc.

Re: how do u guys do it?
 

Less than $1000 into my old setup:

You have to have the ability to fabricate everything that you don't want to buy. If you don't weld, add $400 and a punch in the face. The first kit is never your cheapest because you second guess how cheap you can actually do it.

Ghetto isn't the parts, it's the assembly of the parts- quote that one. ;)

Re: how do u guys do it?
 

So far my kit has cost:

new log manifold, used downpipe, slightly used .42/.48 t3, oil feed line - $285

dsm bov, dsm 450s - $80

new fmic, new charge piping/clamps - $200

Spent $565 so far but don't need too much more.

We checked all the big junkyards around here and you're lucky to find anything...

Re: how do u guys do it?
 

i boosted my crx for 280 and puts down 10psi all day long with a srt4 frontmount

Re: how do u guys do it?
 

tell me about it man. I wasn't doing any ghetto ---- either, but damn. Everytime I tallied up my stuff, it came out to like 2k. I can't weld any of it, I don't have a welder, and I was almost buying everything new. Can you still call it homemade?

Re: how do u guys do it?
 

Not so Homemade... but I'm doing the same thing :P


I don't know how to weld (nor own a welder).... nor do I have any good tools, so I can't really fab anything myself.

Re: how do u guys do it?
 

I find the little stuff adds up quick like- paint,t bolt clamps,wire,gaskets etc.

Re: how do u guys do it?
 

the homemade part, I think, comes in the creativity of making something fit/work that wouldn't normally fit/work at any cost, and there have been some creative solutions here.

Re: how do u guys do it?
 

I boosted mine for about $750, I know some guys here don't like Ebay but that is where it all came from. All for B18b boosted at 8 PSI, took some time but it was worth it.

T3 $50 (SAAB)
mani+downpipe $150
Intercooler $50 ( EVO )
charge pipe $ 50
FMU,GREDDY BLUE BOX, chipped ecu $150
450cc injectors,resister box,seals and clips $ 50
Fake Greddy bov $50
Piping,couplers $100
Oil pressure gaugeA/F gauge $50
summit catch can $50

Dyno FREE,FREE

Re: how do u guys do it?
 

The turbo kit I'm building for my girlfriends car will come out to be around the same price but thats including converting it to OBD1 and dropping a Sohc vtec head on it. maybe a little more since I got her an lightend flywheel and and exedy stage 2 clutch.

Re: how do u guys do it?
 

Damn...you want a mistress

Re: how do u guys do it?
 

I love how you spent as much on your CATCH CAN as you did on your turbo... just seems weird, lol.
