My turbo build.
First things first the petty stuff. last night i got smoked on the track. by a LS/Vtec hatchback and i was like my car should sound like that when it goes vtec haha my car tops at 6700RPM. he had a chipped p28 hitting like 8500 rpms. omfg that thing was SOOOOO FAST!!! i had him off the line once he stoped pealing out, i lost with my AUTO P28 =-( so first things first
Next week
Hondata s300 and while they doing that have them convert it to manual, I was kind a shocked when i called $595.00 out the door for it and it takes 30 min? i was like huh? how so fast? he was like we tune 200 cars a day. gotta be fast. i was like uh okay. so im going to have them put hondata in it and see how much he will charge me for a little pos tune. just to have fun before i get my parts
turbo is coming from here http://www.treadstoneperformance.com...ries+Turbo+Kit EVEN THOUGH THE TURBO IS NOT BALL BEARING IM KINDA DEPRESSED!
im getting all the fuel components off honda-tech market place. i found bluetop 450cc dsm injectors for $50- and i found a greddy rs bov for 120. so thoes should be here shortly. Does anyone know a good boost manageing unit? that has turbo timer and all thoes goodies. is heard some stuff about greddy e-manage but its LIKE $800!!!!!!
next is the fuel pump. then to figure out how the hell in the eck. im going to install the turbo never done it before thinking about having it professionaly done even though iv done all the work on my car so far i feal like im cheating.

Hondata s300 has an option for boost management. I bet you can search around on www.hondata.com and find some info on how to get it etc etc. E-emanage is garbage IMO. As for a turbo timer, you can pick them up for about $50-$60 used, or about $30 (I think) on eBay. If you are thinking about buying gauges, check out the AEM Truboost gauge. It's a little pricey compared to most boost gauges, but it has an electronic boost controller built into it.
If you need some turbo parts, I have an intercooler, piping, BOV, and a few other things from my Civic for sale. Check the link.

yeah man thanks for the info, but iv ran into another problem been so busy with the parts i forgot about exhaust... is it absolutely nessesary? or can i get by for a month or two with the stock exhaust and turbo. and i ran into another problem as wonder as the people installing hondata are they don't convert ecus to manual and i dont know anyone that does it around here anyone have any information on who does it im in reseda ca my zip is 91335 btw that aem true boost gauge is amazeing but $335?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Truboost = $300 (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/AEM-T...%3A1|72%3A1171)
-or-
Electrical boost gauge (not some junk brand) = $100 (or so)
Electrical boost controller (again, not manual, not junk brand) = $200 or more new.
I like the truboost gauge only because it's two things built into one. Instead of fumbling around with two things regarding your boost set-up, you have one..lol
For the Hondata, you might be able to find a p28 installed s300 for about $500. Check places like Honda-tech, and all those other forums.

I don't think stock exhaust piping would be ideal. Turbo's do not like backpressure, and they need a free-er flowing exhaust. If you really need for something to be temporary, just run like an open downpipe/cat.
