so im wondering about turbo kits off ebay. worth it or no?t3/t4? im think running 12psi maybe 15 psi. now saying that engine upgrade to the internals! low compression 8:5:1 forged pistons? thicker head gasket? heavy duty stocking rods? ARP head studs? ARP rod bolts? Hondata S200 ? i dont really wanna blow an engine so im hoping these things would weaken the chances! could anyone tell me at what rpm range the turbo would spool and what about upgraded fuel system? and hp range looking for about 225 possible for under 2500 $?

 

Sounds like you have a good idea of the parts to get but its probably going to cost you more than $2500 for engine work and turbo setup but I believe you can run a well tuned 10psi pretty safely on a y8 which would save you a good bit on the motor building. It all depends on what you want to get out of it. If you want much more than 210whp out of that motor you probably should wait until you have a little more cash to spend.

 

I'm making 210whp on a stock Y8 at 7psi, no reason to do all that work for 225.

I could probably pretty easily go and get 250, but I need my engine in one piece until I get myself a beater.

 

well engine work is no problem i have a few friends that rebuild there engines etc and they could do it for me just for the fun or pretty good price! and getting the turbo installed ima get it installed by a professional but i have someone to pay for that. So i could get away with getting all that stuff for under 2500$ i was talking to my friend i need to get a act stage 2 clutch and lightened flywheel or maybe a stage 3 clutch& flywheel!? i Have a 2000 Honda Silver Ex with about 65000 miles on orignal motor and chassis. Silver what color rims would look best i was looking at a black i dont know what color with a chrome lip and get some skunk 2 coilovers! give me your ideas on this?

 

You went from turbo to what wheels would look good on your car?

Take it to the right forum, I still think you need to do a lot of research rather than just "pay" someone to do the work for you.

 

agreed

 

Seriously, do your research, ESPECIALLY working with the stubborn *** bitch that is a y8
