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...

 

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

 

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?

 

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.

 

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

 

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.

 

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.

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.

 

Damn...you want a mistress

 

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