What to buy

[jangalang]

I want to turbo my 98 EX coupe. (d16y8)
What do you all suggest?

[sxng9]

a turbo, intercooler, boost gauge, manifold, FMU (chipped ECU), downpipe, BOV, etc...

[jangalang]

lol i know that.
im talking about should i buy a kit, make my own?
if i buy a kit, what kind? etc.

Do you have access to proper tools and generally know what you're doing?

[jangalang]

yes. full garage minus a lift

[skoracing]

homemade...

[jangalang]

how much would i look to spend and why homemade?

[skoracing]

since (i'm guessing) your a noob you most likely spend more than others so i'm a break it down for you...
turbo- 100.00 - 150.00 dsm or t3
intercooler- front mount-150.00-200.00 or dsm 35-50.00
flanges and fittings/ oil lines around 150.00- 175.00
piping for intercooler 45.00 if you can weld...
if not 150.00 to 200.00 intercooler piping.
chipped ecu 150.00- 200.00 or diy for 35.00 bucks.
these are gen. prices might be less might be more..
and for christ sake tune the fucker..

[jangalang]

lol thanks.
thanks for the noob comment btw.......
i am a noob to turbos maybe cause i dont have one and i havent done much research lol
thats why i started this thread.

[skoracing]

oh and by the way you would need a jumper harness to convert to obd1 to run a chipped ecu.. that harness runs 75.00 to 100.00.

[jangalang]

thanks..

i know there are more options out there... what else?
brands?

honestly i dont see the point in buying a turbonetics kit or something like that, hmt all the way its cheaper and you can always upgrade
