Custom Turbo
So I changed my mind about the TSI kit, ive heard too many problems with them. Ive been talking to a guy and he said he can get me a custom kit
MANIFOLD - BRAND NEW - STAINLESS
TURBO T3/T4 T04E SUPER 5 BOLT
.50 .63 WITH 2 YR WARRANTY
INTERCOOLER 24 X 12 X 76MM
INTERCOOLER PIPING
WASTEGATE 38MM
SUPER 3" BRAIDED DOWNPIPE
50MM BLOW OFF VALVE
DOWNPIPE EXTENSION
FLANGES
GASKETS
FLANGE FOR BOV
FLANGE KIT FOR WASTEGATE
VAFC
FUEL PRESURE REGULATOR
LARGER INJECTORS
TURBO TIMER
BOOST, AIR/FUEL, OIL PRESSURE GAUGES
He said he can get all of it for somwhere around 1600 not installed, good price? anything missing?
Also what do you think of the turbo size, is it good? too big? how fast would it spool?

Rep Power: 0 Since he mentioned an FPR he is probably thinking you have the same motor as a 6th gen. Alot of people think that. So he was probably thinking of prices for parts he has, or can get, for that motor.
The only reason I say this is because whenever I tell people I am going to turbo charge my Civic, they start giving me all this advice on what I should do, and what I'm doing wrong or, "I can get that for this price". 99% of all the "advice" and prices end up being totally unrelated to our car.
Some of those things on that list are universal, but alot of that stuff will have to be custom fabricated or bought from people like SF, Dezod, TSI, or Max Rev. That list just seems too generic to be accurate.

Sounds like pricing is WAY off
turbo $600 new?
manifold $300 (log style)PLUS
intercooler $200 Plus
Piping (unfinished steel) $100
VAFC & injectors $400 min and up!
^^^ = $1600
Im thinking hes leaving A LOT out of his pricing or selling you CRAP!

Either go with the dezod kit or go custom. those are the only really good ways boost. SLP is coming out with a kit soon too. Jeff has some crazy @$$ stuff coming with the kit that have never heard of or see in my life.

MANIFOLD - BRAND NEW - STAINLESS -- around 400 bucks
TURBO T3/T4 T04E SUPER 5 BOLT
.50 .63 WITH 2 YR WARRANTY -- around 600 with the .63 housing (personally I think that is to big for a d17...i think you'd be happier with a .48 exhaust and .60 compressor with a t04b housing ++ www.cheapturbos.com or www.turbocalculator.com are great turbo resources)
INTERCOOLER 24 X 12 X 76MM --JohnnyRaceCar has top notch ic's for 200 bucks!!
INTERCOOLER PIPING --custom pipes shuold be around 300 bucks to purchase and weld (if manderal bent aluminum)
WASTEGATE 38MM --225ish from NoLimitMotorsports. plus another 30 in flanged and dump tube
SUPER 3" BRAIDED DOWNPIPE -- Err Braided?? Custom made with flange and felxpipe should be around 200 bucks
50MM BLOW OFF VALVE -- What brand?? Type S is 220 from Wiredspeedlab, but remember the cost of the flange and weld, so add another 25/30 bcuks
DOWNPIPE EXTENSION --already included this cost in the above d/p
FLANGES --included in the prices above
GASKETS -- look at around 25-35 bucks here for OEM
FLANGE FOR BOV --included in price
FLANGE KIT FOR WASTEGATE -- included in above price
VAFC --not sure of the going cost, good deals all over the net
FUEL PRESURE REGULATOR -- usually aorund 110 bucks
LARGER INJECTORS --depends on what you run with...MSD 50lbs are around 65 bucks a piece
TURBO TIMER --garbage in my opinion, but usually around 85 bucks new
BOOST, AIR/FUEL, OIL PRESSURE GAUGES --around 100 bucks for all autometer gauges
Things you need yet-
Oil Return fitting = 15 bucks
Oil Feed Line = 40/60 bucks for braided
Oil Feed T = 3 bucks with nipples
Oil Return line = Good heat ****, usually around 15 or so bucks a foot
Silicone Connectors = Hose Techniques or ATP Turbo has them
Injector Clips = Usually around 5 a piece
Upgraded Fuel Rail =200 bucks
Full 2.5 or 3 inch Exhaust = 400 bucks with muff
Some sort of Fuel managment, SAFC or similar = 300+
Boost Controller = used Greddy Profec B Spec 1's go for 225ish shipped (don't waste time with manual ones...Profecs don't creep and hold rock solid
I'm sure I'm forgetting more, but you do the math -
He said he can get all of it for somwhere around 1600 not installed, good price? anything missing?
Also what do you think of the turbo size, is it good? too big? how fast would it spool?Again, I think a .48 exhaust and a .60 compressor with (t3/t04b) would be much better suited...better yet, a big t28 would better yet...don't just look at high peak HP numbers...why futz around witha turbo that doesn't have peak boost at 3?? Get the smaller and enjoy a quick spool and LOOONG flat and powerful torque curve...remember 250 whp from 2400rpm to redline is alot more fun/fastr than just peaking at 300 at redline

Rep Power: 0 congratulations for stating the obvious - my life couldn't continue to exist without that statement
if you looked at my post you'd see where I have the cost for both bigger injectors and a fuel rail...
no offense, but i'd be more concerned with reading previous posts then worrying about fuel rails
