    to be cheap i'll suggest (if you have f22aX engine) yo pick a dsm manifold... then make yourself a t3 adapter... then take a saab, volvo turbo or in the best case... a thunderbird t3, .60/.48... then pick up a dsm bov... get a CCA (custom coach intercooler... from the groupbuy on homemadeturbo.com sales section)
    get some 450cc injctors (dsm, or rx7) get a chipped p06... then make your custom piping using 2.5" mandrel bend...

    make a 3" dowpipe
    get a boost gauge and oil pressure gauge on ebay
    get your vacuum line and coupler from homedepot...
    get an oiline kit from stealthmodeperformance.com
    get a new clutch from lsdmotorsports.com
    get all your gasket/bolt/misc stuff from you local honda dealer...

    sorry ... i'm fucking drunk

      huh? If you want cheap, go all dsm turbo but you'll suffer from creeping and boost cut-off. And you probbly don't want a .60/.48 as that will be either too small of a turbine or compressor housing. And rx7 never had 450cc(only dsm)....word of advice, the rx7 460cc injectors doesn't work at all(I know, I tried) and go with dsm 450cc black top injectors and your set. If money wasn't a problem, I'd go with a t3 60 trim turbo as many has said it work well on the cb7's, or do what I did and bought a cheap turbo and got a smaller turbine housing to match where I want to be.

          Easy, labatt50 knows his stuff here. Even when drunk, suprisingly.
          1. The Thunderbird turbos are .60 turbine and .48 compressor. Thats nice for an entry level kit. The DSM turbos are much smaller than this!

          2.There are 2 types of RX7 injectors. The high impedence red tops and the low impedence black tops. Our CB7s need the black ones.

          3. As for the coupler advice, reinforced silicon only. That other stuff tears easily.

          4. DSM kits can have boost creep avoided with a large diameter downpipe as well as a large diameter O2 housing.

          5. Our turbo bible is set to release some time today. I am still working on this with MRX. Stay tuned.

            There isn't any black rx7 injectors made...




            That was pulled off of here. And the problem with boost creeps are with the wastegate, so look for a t3 then.

              The infamous tan tops...I forgot thats the color. Good find. The actual WG problem is the flapper, not the actuator. It needs a bigger exhaust to vent into.

                That what I meant by WG.....maybe you should include that chart in your turbo bible, would be useful...

                    pull the manifold from any 1st or 2nd gen eclipse/talon, I've heard that the 1st gen have a tendency to crack easy, so yea, get a 2nd gen.

                    1st gen eclipse/talon:




                    2nd Gen:

                      Well, if you got the dsm mani(which is fine, but you'll need to do some work to make it fit) you'll still need an adaptor that goes from the circol with 4 bolts to the rectangular with 4 bolts pattern...I saw some made by SSAC for like 40 or 50 bucks. I think it's better to go get a nice t3 mani...

                          to get a t3 manifold, you gota go custom, which means go look for someone to make you it. homemadeturbo.com is a good place for that, you can get a quality log style mani for around 200.

                          but yea dude, if you want cheap, then just go with a full dsm set up. Get a big 16g, 2nd gen manifold, 1st gen bov, cca intercooler(from hmt), oil lines from stealthmodeperformance.com, charge pipes from sparkle, couplers from home depot, and all your tuning accesories from xenocron.com(chipped p06, rom burner.etc....).

                          that cheap^^ imo.

                              t-bird turbos are normally t 60/63's not 60/48. newbs. whatever you do, don't get a t-bird ihi turbo, they are shit.
