akacougar2002 Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Okay here it goes. I have 10gs to toss into my Integras engine Im buying a B18cr and i plan on doing a turbo build on it running 20psi. I have a pretty good idea on what parts i need but would like to hear some other opinions. So if anyone would like to list every single part and brand name i will need for this build (from turbo to oil), It would be much appreciated. This is alot of money to drop into my 2nd gen da so to know the best of options could be helpful, so i dont waste my savings lol, THANKS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raley Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 save alil more and get a car worth that much money. CLICKY but really... if you don't know what you want and you are just tausing around money... you'll be screwed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akacougar2002 Posted December 20, 2010 Author Share Posted December 20, 2010 Hmm well i dont want anything else lol. I already put 10gs into system interior and body, which i know im crazy to put 20gs into an integra but what the hell im 19 with no current responsibility but to work work work ... Black silver flake paint carbon fiber front lip fenders roof plate hatch and hood. soo there really no point in stopping the build now. I was thinking for my B18cr is full Garret turbo kit * All new Retainers and springs * Pistons and rods Mahle 9.0:1 Pistons, Mahle Performance Rings, and Eagle 5.430 Rods * Injectors 550cc * all new Gaskets * Port and polish *block sleeve and few other goodies to make the build strong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raley Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 20k into a da... that is the worst thing ive ever heard... gt60 8.5:1 compression and about 15-20psi... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akacougar2002 Posted December 20, 2010 Author Share Posted December 20, 2010 So if you dont mind me askingwhats so funny about 20? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akacougar2002 Posted December 20, 2010 Author Share Posted December 20, 2010 and yes i know 20g in a da is bad but f*** it. Money is nothing compared to the love for my tegg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raley Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 id rather through it at a house... oh and 20psi is borderline blowing hot air on most turbos... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akacougar2002 Posted December 21, 2010 Author Share Posted December 21, 2010 College life no need for a house Okay thanks for the insight on the 20 psi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akacougar2002 Posted December 21, 2010 Author Share Posted December 21, 2010 Well i was thinking seeing that i plan on doing a complete build on the motor I will be swapping into my da. Would it be a better idea, just to build my Ls engine instead of wasting a extra 4gs on the jdm type R? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeryon Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 ...so i dont waste my savings lol, THANKS Economically, speaking, owning a car itself is a waste of money. Modifying a car is equivalent to lighting money on fire to watch the pretty colors. Since it sounds like you have minimal experience building engines you should just shop around local import shops and get quotes to have one built for you.

DelSolSweetie Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 oh and 20psi is borderline blowing hot air on most turbos... Okay thanks for the insight on the 20 psi. Not what I meant he has no mention of what size turbo he wants to run.. so 20psi doesnt mean a damn thing and depending on turbo size the injector size may not be adequate the most important thing about a turbo is probably efficiency... not just slapping it on and turning the boost up and i call BS on 20k in a car owned by a 19 year old.. i want pics now.. probably spokescar for VIS fake carbon BS OP needs to spend that money on some books and do the research.. not get on a forum and ask for a build sheet by someone else.. or if he really has that much give it to a shop so he doesnt blow it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When i get the time(full time job and school ='s ROUGH), I will be figuring out exact details of engine choice and the hp. I do plan on getting a complete tune also so i dont blow my motor to smithereens 5 minute into driving it. Well i have been working since i was 14. I bought a 2009 kia forte koup sx last year. BIG MISTAKE AND WASTE OF MONEY. So i figure ill build a car i already like so i know what i am in for. Yes i am embarrassed to say so but the fenders and hood is VIS but defiantly would not say its a spokescar for VIS :sad: Ill be glad to put pictures up to prove im not a liar. If you'd like ill put up pics of my bank statements to if that would make everyone happy enough to just answer my questions instead of ridiculing me But ya for those pics give me 2 weeks the car is at a paint shop an hour away from me torn apart atm. I also want really just looking for a build sheet well kinda. It was more that i have a pretty good idea on what id like to do and parts im gonna need just looking for more opions to broaden spectrum on the whole subject.

Okay thanks go waste your time somewhere else then. :laugh: Didnt say the car was anything special in that pic. Thats the start, not the end Thought forums were for help. But seems like "Most People" on this one likes to just rude. Ill just stick to G2IC a NON judgmental zone But thanks to who actually helped and if anyone else would still like to help id still appreciate it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeryon Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 ... If you'd like ill put up pics of my bank statements to if that would make everyone happy enough to just answer my questions instead of ridiculing me ... Point has been missed. Why pay someone 20k to do stuff to a car when you can do it yourself? You will learn something, save a TON of money and be able to be proud of your efforts. If you did, in-fact, spend 20k then you could have easily put that down on a house, condo or a nice apt with a garage and bought all the tools you needed to do all the work you propose. Obviously, there are some tasks best left to professionals because the machinery and equipment is too expensive for an individual to own, but still. Forums are not for help, they are for people to post thoughts or ideas and other people to comment on them, for better or worse. Me pointing out that you overspent IS being helpful. 5 years, maybe 10 years from now you are going to look back at 19 and go "WTF was I thinking?"

I would love to do it myself and im going to school for that sort of stuff atm actually. But I want the engine done asap and i want to make sure its done right. I have a d16 out my old 1st gen tegg that i plan on building on my own in spring. Im really not interested in getting a house anytime soon and when i do im sure to have another 20g saved. i don't spend money at all besides on my cars. I already have 30g worth of snap on craftsman and mac tools my grandfather left me when he passed on (RIP) ,, Ya that is a good point,, There are better investments obv that will help me in the future but then again who knows i might not be around then either. This really isn't necessary to say but ive been having health issues in and out the hospital and what not for the past and isn't getting better so that makes it much easier for me to spend all this money on what to be said, the worst investment a person can have.. a car.

DelSolSweetie Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 by saying you dont know turbo sizing but want 20 psi just enforces the fact you have no idea what you are getting into and need to do more research and vis isnt actually carbon btw.. its fiberglass with a layer or so of CF to make it look like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raley Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 What exactly are you going to school for? Also, you could walk into a shop with 10k in your pocket and ask for a turbo setup.... they will take it all and give you junk for 200 bucks and without you knowing anything youll be screwed0.

Im doing OCM Boces. The program certifies me in NATEF. We are taught. Brake Systems, Electrical and Electronic Systems, Engine Performance, and Suspension and Steering. Classroom and lab time will be combined with a three-week internship with a local employer to prepare you for this high-demand occupation. and then i am planning to go to Lincoln for a advance education. Yes i know i dont know much about turbos. 1320 will take care of the turbo datails, of what i slack on knowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeryon Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 and vis isnt actually carbon btw.. its fiberglass with a layer or so of CF to make it look like that I wish i could find somewhere that just makes and sells the fiberglass pieces. i don't want cf anything on my car but would be interested in glass parts. have even contemplated trying my hand at making my own - no doubt I could figure it out but I seriously lack the free time for that amount of play.

DelSolSweetie Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 You could just get CF or the fiberglass/CF and get it painted.. looks the same with the same weight savings We keep talking about the same stuff with the supras.. fat ass cars need to be lighter but I dont want CF splattered all over the car so painting over will probably be the best bet and I agree about be careful with what shop you choose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeryon Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 with the cf overlay stuff there has to be more expense to it - and thus more cost. would be great to pay less for it if you are going to paint it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
