how long ....??????
 

sup ladies...

i want to know how long did it take everyone to completely have their car boosted. like from the first part you bought, till the first time u started the engine....

im getting real real desperate, and i think im takin too long. its been like 4 months, piecing everything together... and im still missing stuff!!!

:-X

Re: how long ....??????
 

4 months isn't bad. Actually the longer you take, the better stuff you get cheaper. I don't plan on having a boosted car for at least 6 months, but I'm buying pieces here and there when I find a decent price. My kit's almost done, here's my complete parts list so far:

MBC
Boost gauge

Soooo close!

Re: how long ....??????
 

lmao.... ;D

my kit includes ...

dsm mani
12a tdo5
450's
starion fmic
air/fuel gauge

got everything for like 250 bucks so far...

but boost is calling my name, and i cant wait.... (btw, i have an f22 right now, but i'm pickin up an h23 nex week to build that slowly)

Re: how long ....??????
 

Take your time. I was gonna say the 12a is a little small but if you got it all for 250 who cares.

All together I started researching (Yes Research someting some noobs don't know how to do on this site) in november one year and boost the following march so, 4 months for me. And yes I probably over spent a lttle the first time to rush things but now that I am boost I'm slowly upgrade (like the .60/.63 Igot the other day, and the bigger intercooler) over the year to my full build next winter! 300-320 hp here I come I just need, Rods, Pistons, Better manifold, and another block so that it ccan be built while I still drive my car.

Anyone Local to Ontario Canada got another DOHC ZC Kickin around?

I think I bought my turbo in January or February.

Here is my list so far:
TD04-13G turbo
HF Manifold
DSM 450cc injectors (w/clips)
Honda Resistor Box
1st Gen DSM BOV
Phantom Boost Gauge
Muffler + Resonator
Chipped ECU (uberdata)

I need:
Oil lines
IC
Charge Piping
Exhaust Piping
MBC
3 Bar Map Sensor

The longer it takes, the better prices you get.

Re: how long ....??????
 

I took about 4 months building and buying ----. Its not uncommon for people to spend a year or so trying to get the parts together.

Re: how long ....??????
 

ive never spent more than like a month looking and planning i think. First time i went turbo it took about 3 weeks and 150 bucks.

Re: how long ....??????
 

Its taken me almost a year, to get all the parts. Just started mounting everything last night and hopefully this weekend ill be able to start it up.

Re: how long ....??????
 

you guys must be kiddingg me....

Re: how long ....??????
 

i started in january, now its may, and i've got about 75% of everything bought and sitting in my room or is in the mail as i speak. 5 months so far, and i plan on another 1 before mockups/install
