What to get next?

[Prelude97]

Get ready to get boosted and need opinions on what I should get next.
My Current Setup( or soon to be set up):
Greddy Turbo kit
HKS SSQ BOV with mounting flange
Air fuel ratio gauge

Planning on:
Type 24 intercooler
Boost guage
Fuel pressure guage
New clutch
Anything I left out and what do you think i should get next?
I was thinkin the boost guage first, then intercooler. I will only be able to get one at a time seeing how i just spent all my money on the turbo kit. Oh and I don't think I need to anything for fuel management cuz the kit comes with e-manage and bigger injectors. If there is anything I left out let me know and what to get first. Thanks!!! Later

Get a boost gauge before the a/f gauge.

If you need any other products for the project let me know.

Are you sure the kit comes with e-manage or just the blue box?
Don't forget a oil pressure gauge and a colder plugs.

Skip the gauges untill later. The A/F gauge runs off your O2 sensor and hondas are not the most accurate and its not going to do you much good untill you can tune it. The boost gauge is just for bling bling effect. You should increase fuel delivery untill you can get somthing like hondata with things like B&M commandflo/FP gauge and better fuel pump like Walbro. The IC and Clutch should be your next goals because summer is coming and you want to keep that thing cool as possible and your clutch WILL GO OUT VERY SOON, I know from experience. That would also be a good time to get a lighter flywheel. You can get exedy clutch and act flywheel from www.clutchcityonline.com for under 500 bucks shipped.

BTW, when the hell are we going to get a good hondata tuner here, WTF??

why the greddy kit?

[b18cya-T]

ok, im not saying the greddy kit is a 'bad.' if you want a kit to install & forget about, thats what it's good for. but if you want serious gains. i'd suggest getting a different kit. almost every other kit uses a t-series turbine housing with external wastegate.

internal wastegates suuuuuck...

im not sure about the specs on the prelude kit tho, if it uses the same turbo as the b-series kits do.

[SlamMan]

Nothing wrong starting with the Greddy Kit, I love mine. It would also be very easy to switch to a kit w/ external wastegate. All you would need is new manifold, turbo and a local exhaut shop to make you a DP with dump tube which really isnt that expensive. Then you could get alot of money back by selling the greddy mani, turbo and DP on ebay. JMO.

I wouldn't say internal waste gates SUUUUCCCCKK they are not that bad yes you may see some issues when you start pushing over 15 lbs .... you might get a little boost creap... If you want an AF gauge I will sell you mine for $20 if you pick it up .... but from what I understand from your post you already have one

[SlamMan]

Your gonna be a man and put it in yourself, right.

Since the H22 has weak ringlands and to put in forged pistons i need to resleeve the block and that is $$$$$

The boost gauge is just for bling bling effect. Really, I thought they were so could know how much boost you were really running instead of guessing, or knowing that you have boost creep issues and NOT blowing up your motor because you boosted 18 psi on a blue box. My bad.

[SlamMan]

School? LOL. thats cool. What kind of car are you puttin this in. You should fill in your profile, it will help others to answer your questions based on what you have. And no you dont have to sleeve to put in forged pistions, infact you can put low comp pistons into a H22 and with a stand alone and good tuning you should be able to push 14psi on a stock block. Do you have a cat-back

[SlamMan]

The blue box and accidently boostin to 18psi have nothing to do with eachother. Boost creap isnt nearly the problem its made out to be. If you spend a little more money on a decent boost controller it will tell you what your are boosting and should have a boost cut and warning if you happen to overboost.

boost gauge+Gauge pod+second gauge to fill other pod hole=$300

Decent boost controller=$300-$500

Your choice

Do you have a cat-back Actually B-series engines don't require to be sleeved to run forged pistons and same wiht most other honda engines, but the H22a must be resleeved to run any type of forged piston. I forget the reason but i am sure HONDA GHANDI knows why, I think its something to do with the silicone content in the cylinder walls. Oh and I have a Tanabe cat-back.

Hu, didnt know that. Learn somthin new every day.
