For the last 3 months I've been collecting parts, and trying to recycle some old parts kicking around in the garage. I had a $500 budget. Of course the $500 was just for the base turbo kit; to get me up and running. The water-meth kit would be extra, but I had it laying around the garage along with an old PLXM300 wideband unit that I decided to re use.
Here is my build:
1996 Acura Integra (stock)
-intercooler pipes/bov/couplers/clamps were off an old Saab 9000 combined with old Talon parts ~ $20 (junkyard/parts cars)
-turbocharger & elbow was off an 1989 Saab 9000 -T3 50 trim ~$40 (junkyard)
-custom manifold was made by Cory (on here) - $235
-slim fans ($30ea + tax) ~$70
-ECU: chipped and tuned myself - free
-misc fittings/SS oil lines/hardware ~ $30
-old injectors off a 2000 Prelude (280cc) - free
-B & M FPR (60psi) ~ $10
-fuel pressure gauge ~ $25
-water meth pump/tank/controller (untuned as of now) ~ re used
-old wideband - re used
-boost gauge ~ $10
-blue oil manifold ~ $3
