Super Budget LS Project.....Opinions and options wanted
Well ive been battling with the ideas of turboing my LS and i bought all the parts for it, then sold em, and now i think im going to do it again but on a much cheaper budget. I'm trying to keep it like below $1200. I'm mainly doing this to boost the LS and see if i like boosted hondas, and if i do I'm going to do a EK hatch project.
Here is what im thinking:
.60/.63 T3 internally gated<---Junkyard SVO ~$100
Log Manifold<---- Can someone do this for me for like $150? And if you can do a 2.5" DP w/ 2 02 bunges for like $100(no flex pipe necessary i dont buy into that hype
)
450cc DSM Injectors w/ resistor box<---- $70 shipped about.
1g DSM BOV----$40-50 w/ the flange
Exhaust---> Kteller8 exhaust with stock cat and some standard muffler he sells for like $75.
Charge Pipes---> Garbage hunting/junkyard $50 or less
Walboro Fuel pump--->$100
Uberdata----> If someone can burn me a chip for the map i have that would be stellar. i just need my ECU socketed...
My main problem is a FMIC. I dont want a SMIC b/c they wont do enough, i could rig 2, one on each side, but that makes a lot more piping work which isnt a huge problem but will suck for efficency. Honestly, i dont even want to spend $250 for a tyrus. Any help would be great

charge pipes... use ABS plumbing plastic, 2" ID. The bends (90s, and 180s) are like mandrels, really cheep too. You can glue it all together with that ABS cement, or use the rubber connectors... just check out Home Depot or whatever....

I take it you're like me and don't have a junkyard around you? Try to find a Starion FMIC. They look decent. A junkyard is about the only place you are going to get a cheap intercooler.
