Default putting together a shopping list

D16y7, daily driver
====================
okay... as i've said before, still learning..... I'm thinking about getting an obx turbo manifold, T3 turbo. Charge pipes and Intercooler from CCA... can i get oil sending and return lines from a local autoparts store.

The fuel management i plan on using is the S-AFC... down pipe and full 2.5" exaust custom made from my local exhaust shop.... 35mm wastegate.... and some BOV (the exhaust shop should be able to weld it to the charge pipe right?)

this is comming out to be pretty expensive...

I could use a swift kick in the *** to get the ball rolling...

obx manifold? as in ss autchrome manifold? a lot of people don't recommend them because of weak welds and what not.
Stealthmode sells an oil line kit for $75 or else tuner toys i think has something
Also recommended to chip your ecu, read up on fuel management faq and board for more info on that

OBX isn't ssautocrome.... and my DX is auto, so i'm pretty sure the only management i can do is the S-AFC...

Get your oil lines from Stevemode, Get the Johnny Racecar intercooler to save money and DONT buy the SS autocrap/OBX manifold. I won't convert to OBDI and go Uberdata as well. That's what I did on my Y7.

Yes you could. A better bet is to buy a cheap CAI off Eghey and just cut off the top part.

Your better off getting the OBX manifold rather than the greddy kit. Yes the greddy kit is nice for what it is, and easy to install. But, later on when you want to upgrade your turbo, or even replace a turbo your going to be quite upset to find out how much it costs. The Greddy uses a goofy jdm t25 flange. Atleast if you use the OBX mani, you will have a t3 flange and can upgrade to a t3/t4 or whatever later down the road. The manifold is pretty homo, I've done 2 setups locally with the manifold and only once did it break. If you have decent supports on the bottom side of the manifold and a flex section in your downpipe it should be ok.

well if i wanna upgrade the turbo (does the 92-95 have an adjustable waste gate?) i'll just replace the mani and turbo.... my car has a cracked exhaust manifold so i just want to get it running agian....

will i be okay running the 92-95 kit non intercooled with the S-AFC as fuel management just for a month until i can get an intercooler....
