Hi guys,

I just thought I'd post up my detailed list of what I have bought so far for my turbo setup. It is well over 90% complete, and all the major parts are here. I'm still waiting on my Kteller piping to arrive, but if I really wanted to I could start the turbo install tomorrow (but I'm not gonna). This is just a general guide to show people what kinds of costs go with doing a turbo project. Every little thing that I bought which was even remotely related to this turbo project was put in a spreadsheet which I made just for this.

UPDATED 17 Oct 05 cause I swapped out a few parts here and there.

<FONT COLOR="blue">Things I already had:</FONT>
Autometer Boost gauge
Autometer Oil Pressure gauge
Nordskog Water Temp gauge
HP Pavilion laptop which I bought a long time ago to run AEM EMS on my turbo Lude


I'll probably get an Ostrich emulator for $175 so that I dont have to keep removing my chip to burn it. And after installing the turbo kit I might get an MSD Digital 6 ($290) and HVC coil ($113) setup and some plug wires. I wanna try running stock ignition for a while though. The install will be done by me so no install costs, and the welding for the oil pan bung and DP/DT piping might be done by a friend for $100 or so or maybe by a local muffler shop.

Anyways that's my list...it's about $800 more then I was expecting, but it's all good because a lot of that cost was misc. stuff like tools and wiring and stuff. Hopefully this will help out those of you guys that plan on turboing your EF.

EDIT: I went ahead and bought an Ostrich romulator today for 190 shipped 3 day select. So I added another $190 to the list.

Thanks man. I want to go turbo-fed when the car is garaged again. Looks like I'll have to start saving up in the summer time unless I get a bad *** animation job to pay for this project

CRX_1.8T

Very good man! I am trying to figure out what would be best for my CRX. Anyways, I like how you wrote the list dude I'll probably be referring to it a few times.

BlueShadow

hehehe, glad you guys like the list...I just hope your guys costs wont come anywhere near mine. Pretty much everything was bought new. I didn't feel like piecing together a custom kit, because of a bad experience with doing that in the past.

The only thing missing is the costs for building the motor. But when I do start buying parts for my built block I will be making a detailed list of that too. But that wont be for another 6-12 months.

LoSt is BlaCk

i'm interested in seeing how the mani, turbo and dp fit in the ef's engine bay...

The WG is my old TIAL 38mm and the Revhard elbow though. It didn't have a lot of room for a dumptube. So I went with a Turbosmart ultragate which has a lower profile and I stood it upright and I was able to weld up my dumptube. If you give me a few days I can post up a pic of my new dumptube setup.

That sounds so ******* sexy.... Can i see some of the pics.....
Edit: nevermind i have a sub to the other thread W/ PICS. So it's all good.
