Yeah ill deffenetly keep you guys updated. I test drove it today and it rides like new! He still has to take it back to get the alignment redone, and i talked to a local paint shop to see what they would charge to repaint the whole car and he said 400 for fresh paint, the paint shop is pretty legit to so im stoked!

Here is what i have planned so far

-K-sport coilovers
-K-sport camber kit
-Megan racing header(got it for free from a friend lol)
-still debating on the exhaust(in case i dont like the one it comes with)either going with skunk2 megapower or Greddy TIC
-skunk2 intake manifold
-BBK throttle body
-and a short sift kit

And for when i go turbo
-Upgrade the fuel system(AEM fuel rails, 450cc or 550cc injectors, fuel regulator, and welbro 255lph fuel pump) and still dont know what fuel managment system to go with
-still need to find a intercooler
-and gonna use the hindata s300 for the tuning.
When i decide to go wiht higher boost(over 9psi) ill upgrade the internals and go with forged, maybe some cams,

Not sure what else ill need to go turbo but thats why im going to do that in the spring so i can do some research on what the LS engine can and cant take and what works better and whats not worth the money

I should have the car in my hands for good by next week, just waiting for him to get that alingment redone, so ill post up pics of every part of the car

Keep you guys updated!

While I have considered K sport coilovers myself in the past I have seen quite a few threads in reference to their quality. You might want to consider Tanabe Sustec or HKS...even TEIN...they have offerings around the price of K sports but quality is a little better.

As far as exhaust goes just build your own 2.5" for NA or 3" for boost and youll be fine. You can buy the can of your choice for like $150 or so...HKS, Magnaflow, ES oval or whatever floats your boat.

What are your power goals - that will decide the intercooler, turbo, manifold, wastegate and injector sizing

Short shit kits are garbage on Hondas...dont use them...especially the cheap Ebay ones made out of aluminum. Youll shred synchros with them.

Hondata is okay but a bit pricey compared to running eCtune....I would say eCtune for saving some money and getting a good software package...for a street car Neptune and eCtune are hard to beat...eCtune is newer and from what I have seen a stand up software package with updates.

i wouldnt bother with the short shifter

[LUISKEY]

Ok so the short shifter is out of the question

My goals are something around 250-300whp with a turbo, i know ill probably end up getting a good name brand turbo, but for now that one will be good enough

[rascles]

well its up to you, i like my stock shift and i know its stock not some bs grinding shifter.

i actually want to do the same route with my b16 but it seems to costly, new clutch and all that + turbokit tune and everything else + what ever breaks...damn, I might have to just use the 60 shot .. less work

[LUISKEY]

Well this integra already has a stage 2 clutch i think that might be good enough for what my goal is.

Your right its more than likely gonna cost some money and take up some time during and after the build, but this is a learning process for me so the 60 shot way wont work for me you know? Im willing to throw as much money as it takes to get it there, and it'll be fun

But i want to start with the small stuff, the prep work if you will, until i finish building the rest of my mustang, when thats done all extra money will go to the teggy

post up yr mustang if you have pics, i love mustangs.

[rascles]

your motor will take a 60shot, its just the b18 non tec is more of a forced induction motor since its not a high revver. the b16's love

For something that tame you can get away with some pretty cheap parts

Johnny Race Car intercooler - 150 *NEW*
DSM BOV - 20
Home made charge pipes - 120
Log mani - 150-250 *NEW*
T3 super 60 turbo *NEW* 500
Wastegate - Tial *NEW* 200
3" Down pipe - *NEW* 150
3" exhaust - USED 150-250
255 lph pump *NEW* $110
B&M FPR *NEW* $60
Injectors *NEW* 250-300
Oil lines, gaskets etc *NEW* 150 or so
Chipped P28 - 150
eCtune software *NEW* 175
Wideband 02 w/gauge - *NEW* 150-250
Tune - $250-$350

Thats about 3K or so for mostly brand new reliable parts that will support 250-300whp on pump gas with super quick spool and be pretty reliable. The tune will be the most important part ....even will all this NEW a bad tune will destroy the motor in a matter of seconds at WOT.

Cheapturbo.com has a sale on T3 Super 60s for 675 with wastegate...so instead of 700 its a little less
