Dumb or not it will save me $1300 which I can use to go get my car painted and tuned. Then I will be done.
I have everything ordered. Everything should be here by next week. Then I'm ganna take pictures of everything to share. Then were ganna bolt everything on and trailer the car to CFT hopefully next week to get it dynoed and tuned. When I go I'm ganna see about doing 1-2 runs with stock ecu and motor and see how much power was being made then tune it and dyno it see what the final numbers are. And I will post the numbers and try to get a video while I'm there to share with you guys.
I ordered a new radiator bracket, hondata with hondata boost solenoid and boost by gear option added (comes with ecu and hondata already installed with extra options and they replace capacitors and test the ecu before shipping, datalogging and bluetooth), I ordered moroso already tapped oil pan for oil drain back from turbo and includes an upgraded baffle for better oil pickup, I ordered omni 4 bar oem replacement map sensor so I can increase boost levels at a later date, I ordered a glowshift boost gauge with single pod for A - Piller, I ordered a new b20b oil dipstick with plug to help prevent oil blow by, I ordered new honda civic si throttle cable (mine is on the last metal thread and about to break), I ordered skunk2 silicon radiator hoses, blox Throttle Position Sensor to be mounted on my skunk2 throttle body, new cam seals from honda, new thermostat from honda, and a thermostat housing o-ring,
I am still waiting for the, blox sensor and lca+subframe brace to be delivered plus the other new items I mentioned.
Now I went ahead and ordered the ebay turbo kit for $661 and I will tell you why. I spoke to the vendor and he said that if anything cracks or anything doesn't fit that he will refund my money also he told me they balance the turbos 3 times checking for clearings and making sure the turbo is properly balanced before it ships. Plus I figured if something does break from a year from now I can always order a turbo and manifold from
http://www.go-autoworks-store.com their log style manifolds are lifetime warranty and are only $136 and there nice ball bearing turbos can be had brand new for $600-800 so I'm ganna set aside $1000 just incase I need to replace them at some point and if things do great and I don't have to then I can use the money for my future engine built. I also have a used spare ebay turbo and exhaust side that I can use incase the one I get don't work or whatever.
Its an experiment I'm ganna see if they ebay turbo kits any good. If it's not then I will just purchase the whole kit from
http://www.go-autoworks-store.com for $2500
I do plan on getting new carpet, shift boot, weather stripping, possibly a new sunroof assembly with new seals, get the car painted jet black, and new tires because mine are showing wires. and thinking about trying to find the black suede seats with red stitching.
But is there anything else I should buy for my motor or chassis that I haven't already purchased or mentioned?
