Then add another 1g for machine work/gaskets and bein built. D's w/ proper tuning will take 200 whp easy so dont waste your money unless you have the cash. So you cant build a kit but you can build a bottom end ::)

Re:Turbo deliema
 

I remember when I put together my first turbo kit my dad was completely against it and I didn't even tell him I was buying the parts until I had everything and getting ready to install it. My mom was afraid cause her friends told her that it would make my car fast as hell and I would die but they still let me do it.

But since your parents are paying for the car, its technically they're car so do what they want. If you were paying for the car I'd say PVC charge pipes, JB weld and a turbo welded to a stock manifold is the way to go. ;)

Re:Turbo deliema
 

if you're dad is gonna front the money, might as well do it. kitting is kinda gay but if you gotta, snag up the edelbrock kit. he'll never know that once its on, you pulled out their fuel management BS and socketed the ECU and slapped in some uber action.

Re:Turbo deliema
 

I wish my parents paid for my car...

I'd say buy a "pieced together" kit from someone on here.. and slap a "GReddy" sticker on the box :P

Re:Turbo deliema
 

haha i would, but my dad KNOWS the difference adn he would prolly order it. Hes helped me alot puttin ---- on my car and stuff, so i cant really cant try to bs him

Re:Turbo deliema
 

you aint reppaul you really should move the ---- out and get a job, and make your own decissions >:( you aint reppin HMT

Re:Turbo deliema
 

hahhaa auctually I do have a job, a good one at that I work 45-50 hours a week, then volunteer coach after that. I know, im soooo not HMT cuz my rents pay for my car (which they bought me when I graduated HS!)and I still live at home (---- you its free!) argh spencer, youre a dick ::)

Re:Turbo deliema
 

what i would do..
look around for some pics and specs on some of the setups. i know on honda-tech there is someone selling 'neukin' manifolds, i think that is how you spell it.

look for a nice looking car, that has nice looking parts on it. and show him how it looks and then performs (dyno sheet). and it doesnt have to be a kit then.

ask him "what is the difference if i buy intercooler piping from greddy, or make my own?'

that is a simple start. but do research, dont try to bs him with.. 'well i saw some guys do this or that'
you have to show that you know what it is.

another thing to ask 'what is the matter with a equal length manifold, compared to premaid cast manifold'

i guess that is some things that can help you out..

worst comes to worse.. just tell him you are 'getting out of the game' and throw some hmt love on the car 8)

Re:Turbo deliema
 

Buy the Edelbrock and call it a day. Your tranny wont last more than a month anyway. :P

Re:Turbo deliema
 

def sounds like a plan, ima run some ---- in front of him tontie and some him some of the setups from the turbo projects page
