99b16si How much did you spend on ur whole turbo kit??

 

well back then the kit costed me about 2300 and the clutch was like 400. then the pistons were 275 plus other minor replacement parts. now theres alot more money into it

 

Did you buy an actual kit or did you just buy all the differnt parts. i was going to get a greddy kit but i heard those suck, so now i dont know which one to get.

 

i put one together, this is what it was at the time:

t3/t4e .50trim stage3 exhaust wheel
revhard manifold
tial 35mm wastegate
spearco FMIC
Greddy type S bov
cartech FMU
missing link checkvalve

 

are the drag gen turbo kits any good>?

 

the manifold and deltagate are the weak links other than that its a decent starters kit

 

a lot better than the greddy kit as far as power goes

 

Im not looking to push high psi, i just wnat a little more power from my SI i would like to break mid 13s w/o having to worry about blowing my engine, would i be able to do that with a drag gen turbo kit?? sorry bout all the ??s i just want to do it right the 1st time so i dont have to worry about fixing stuff in the future, im 18 and dont have that much $$$$ know what i mean

 

yea a drag kit on 7-8psi, clutch, and hondata will easily yield mid to high 13's on some decent tires

 

To build your car correctly the first time is still going to take alot of money. Even if you get lucky and find some some cheaper parts and get the setup together..eventually you'll turn up the boost and we all know what happens then. So, I suggest to piece together a custom turbo for your car, build the bottom end and take the time to do everything right. Everything with a turbo cost some $$$. 99B16Si has a nice setup w/ the t3/t4 and can beat the best of 'em. I'm going turbo as well...not with the same setup as him, but I am slowly figuring out what all i need before i buy it and how much power its gonna give me.

Just so you have an idea about the GReddy Turbo kit on your Si since you posted earlier about it ...
lets say GReddy Turbo TD05H-18G, and you wanted to run low psi...so lets say 5-7 psi, For fuel enrichment your going with four 310cc low impedance injectors and FCU (fuel control unit). You are looking at 220.1 to the wheels. If you go with an intercooler (which is optional with this kit) you'll get 244.3 to the wheels. Price = $3149.

Be very detail oriented with choosing your setup...i wouldnt suggest being half ass. If you want it to last awhile just take the time (and the money of course) to do it right
