Hatch92 Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 if you want cheap you don't usually find reliable. it's usually one or the other, to build a nice turbo set up and make it reliable it takes money. Motor pistons - $400+ rods - $300+ sleeves(possibly) Head cams - $200+ springs/retainers - $250+ valves(or heat treat the ones you have) Exhaust Turbo Manifold - $150+ Turbo - $400+ 3" downpipe - $130+ 2.5"-3" catback w/ high flow cat - $300+ Intake intercooler - $300+ chargepipe - $110+ ECU Hondata,or Crome, etc. - $150+ Total: $2500+ It can get expensive Edit: and some of those are crack head prices.

SO I GUESS A TURBO KIT WOULD BE THE BEST TO START OFF WITH RIGHT? BUT WITH APPLICATIONS LIKE THE ONES GREDDY AND EDELBROCK CAME OUT WITH. WILL I BE ABLE TO RUN STOCK INTERNALS ?IF SO HOW MUCK CAN A STOCK B18B1 HANDLE IN TERMS OF PSI COMBINED WITH MILAGE? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should be able to run about 10-12 psi safely, i would keep it around 8 psi for daily driving and get a better headgasket and head studs cause that always helps.
